comments ON the fall Of vicksburg and the
battle of Gsttysburg The following are some

tue good will Of the river States, and that good

on the perfectly secure character Of the rela-

turbed tho balance Of the North and South ;
immigration disturbed still moro seriously the
balance Of the Northeast and Northwest. Yet
there are no means of taking the sense Of
those growing and sill loosely organized

There ia no ono to answsr for them; NO
one to hold them to any cOmpact; NO one even
to forssee how interest or opinion will develop
