several States combine against their common
Federal Government. Here the power TO bc
J overcome is not only greater, but In a moral
point of view far more dangerous to the Federal
Government. Hence, when such a rebellion Is
subdued, II Is not only necessary to destroy tho
! treasona able element In such rebelious States
/ but also the power which these States had TO

This is the final response of the President tc

ity his published letters has bccu uniform. IL II

ie. The issues are thus made up between the
lid President and the rebels and their foreign sym
ny pathiz.rs, who would revolutionize our Govern

ice South, Oh the one hand; aud, on the Other
Ar hand, between the President and the ultra Abo

On, section of the country. II 10 not improbabl,
ra- that the latter, though aiming at a diheren
