They are upon 'ase premises. They are angling
and bobblng after bite from political parties.
They have not any great, and general, and leading
ldsas in this matter. They call their victory Of

at that q little. Go out to the hills and the val

nave vented their Ijttleness upon US, and the Brit

not that they hate the American people, but that
they hate republican liberty And this question
is not merely between toe loyal people of the 10y
al States and this Internal Rebellion, bat it is a
question between the American people and the
tyrannles and aristocrac es Of the earth, and has
to be fought as such. France we have little to
