of its nationality, how can its old and
well tried friends now that they are in
power deny it this "right?"
The war will be over ere that time"
Would God it might be SO ! But where
is the proof of this?. The power of our
foes in the field equals ours; their STRAIT
cgy generally better. Their unity is com.
plete, while we are seriously divided.
Their very hatred of us is an element of
persistence, while powerful sympathies for
them still are INDUCED here. Why, we
have some who do not even try to disguise
their hatred of their own government and
cause.
"But why not let the South have ma.
tionality ?" consider what this implies,
and you will see why.
Then you agree to let them alone.
What that government will then do, infer
from what it bas done. An army--a ma
WA revenue, and a concentration of
power in the hands of the shareholders
alone, offensive and defensive treaties with
Great Britain and France.
For short time it may observe treaty
obligations with the United States. And
yet, either with or without its connivance,
this peace will be interrupted almost from
the first by the borderers of the South. The
North would turn to its accustomed in
dustry, while the others, ever idle, will
soon to idleness add rapacity. What then
would protect your frontiers? Southern
law? Treaty stipulation? Alas! Is
it men or barbarians with whom you have
to do9 And expect from them comfy 2
Even before the war could you always get
it? And now expect it after their COM
plete brutslization
Remember too, that those people are
deeply impoverished, and they charge this
upon you. And such barbarians starve
while you have plenty? More, they will
not work however precarious be their liv-
: lihood. AS the Koords, on the Persian
: mountains, their subsistence must come
partly, at least, from pillage. Stewards

up of such material must moreover, war it
