give the rebels 4 chance to recover
their strength and renew their ability to
attack us. There was no honorable or safe

up the hands Of their brethren in the field,
the war wou1d not last three months. He

the main strength Of the rebellion. He was
an eye witness to the effect, that but for thei1
slaEes the rebels could not have resisted us
twelve months. [Applause.] He believed
