c,r am mt IN favor OF restoring the
constltu,iopal relations Of the slaVehold'
ers 10 the Union, nor of the war to that
end. On The contrary, | a@ utterly and
forever opposed to both. lam in favor
Of the Union as it exists to-day.
I am in favor Of recognizing the loyal
States as the American nation, based as
they are on the principle Of freedom for
all, without distinction of race, color or
condition. l believe it to be the mani
feat destiny OF the American nation TO
ultimately control the American Ooht''
nent on THIS principle

-Ihave never allowed myself to indulge
In that superstitious idolatry of the o.
niou so prevalent among simple but hon.
est people, nor that political cant about
the Union so prevalent among dishonest
d ones. have simply regarded it as q
form Of Government, to be valued in
proportion to its merits as an instrument
Of national prosperity and power.

The war which has come in between
tbe North and the South for the past

substituted in the South another Gov.

No tecbnicality iS a question of this
kind can stand. The war has utterly
