At the conclusion Of Pnillips speech there [
were load calls for Greeley" who came for /
ward aud said
Fellow-ci,izsn7, when this struggle con- T
m9Beed I think I was not as gay aud sauguiue
as mos. of you were. did not believe, if we 4
had q civil war at all IL could be itlle war
l DID believe and believe now, is might hsv7 I
been msd5 a little war by striking 50 SoOG, aud I
striking so strongly, that It would not have been .
g civil war at all l believed then and Z believe .
no that a moderate army quickly raised, well I
disciplined we'll commanded, and with an earn
est purpose, might have gone suddenly to Rich I
moud snd queBched out this rebellion, struck it /
out Of existence before it becam7 a civil wac 4
When it did become civil war, when It wss .
the South against the North and rot merely the 7
fllibusteTs of the nth sgsinst the Union, we
all must have realized that it was destined 60 be .
one Of tse great wars Of history-one Of the I
great wars. We are now in the midst of saat 4
war It demands of Us efforts aud sacrifices /
sud psrils. do not see the immediate result Of !
the war. I am not ss8guine that under tbe .
leaders we have he management we have, an I
immediats triumph is at all ceria'n. We may 1
have that We are more likely not to have I
that But at the same time, I dc realize that
the end Of this contest-the real end, The eni 4
that is 70 be c9nelUsive-eann0t be other than a 4
united North America ard free North Amer .
