The Result.

In replying to an invitation to address the
Loyal Union League of Baltimore, the Hon.
Daniel :. Dickinson, one of the foremost of
war Democrats in New York, speaks of the
struggle with slavery and rebellion, and its ult-
mate issue, as follows:
ut will pc a mighty struggle, but the Con-
stitution will prevail; hecarOnbs of victims may

the battlefield or the meaner field of political
warfare will be forgotten, except for the wrongs
they have perpetrated and the people of this
Union, stretching onward toward hundred
millions of souls, will be prosperous, peaceful
and happy.
