and influential among the Southern people. that,

tract the war, despite of indescribabe suferings
of the Southern people. in order TO consolidate
his new rule-to cement it in Southern blood.
The Puritan abolition game, as revealed by
Seward in his cups and hiccoughs at Auburn, is
substantially parallel. The Puritan game is to
protract the war till the period Of another Pres-
dental election is passed which is to be decided
not by the people. bat by the army. Then TO
recognize the Southern Confederacy, on whatever
terms, and to employ tie army, now become a
veteran machine. in the subjueation and enslaye
