No political body in this country has eve,
written such history for itself. The rebel,
could not have asked for more efficient auxil

has just expired; every thing has been done "a
their liking. Such course has been pursued
as has steadily and surely made the South a
unit against us. And not only this, but by the
foolish and insane workings Of tie Abolition

Woe be unto the man that would dare doubt

But in times of darkness one evil follows
