BENEFITS OF THE WAR.

ECtrdct from the RemdTkS OF lion. A.
i&euart, on the 4h Of July, at Fayette
Springs. ..........
1st. Then, this war will destroy
forever the curse of Slarery, the cause
of this horid warfare with all its ca
lamitics, making us truly FREQ peo-
pie, and our government in fact, as
well as in theory, the model govern
ment of the world,
End. This war will destroy q South
ern monarchy in embryo and establish
frecr institutions and q better popula-
tion in the South. ...
3D.. This war will give us uniform
National Currency founded on the
wealth and faith of the whole Union,
instead of an insecure local State cur
rcncy, issued in open and fragrant
violation of the Constitution of the
United States, which expressly de-
clares that "no State shall issue bills of
credit, which Mr.. Madison, the father
of the Constitution, says was inserted
to prevent the States from creating, or
authorizing others to create, "paper
money!" and thus, also, restoring the
control of the currency to the National
Government, to which it Constitution
ally belongs.
4th. Our National Debt, not equal
to One.hdtof the British debt, will, like
theirs, constitute most powerful ce.
ment to hold the Union together should
all else fail. Our National Debt consist
ing of government bonds and notes in
the hands of the people, will when the
Union is assailcd, rally all hands to
the rescue, to save their money which
must 60 down with the government,
and oven the miser who would not be-
foro give q cent to savc the Union,
will then wade knee deep in blood, to
save his grcenbacks and coupons.
9th. A high Protective Tariff to pay
the interests of tho war debt will be
indispensable, checking the iniporta-
ton of foreign goods and the expora-
ton Of specie, increasing our wealth,
national and individual, and develop
ing our rich and oXhaustless resour-
ccs, mineral, manufacturing and agri-
cultural.
9th. Tho high wdgeS of labor, occasion
cd by the war, will add greatly to our
national wealth and strength : by at
tracing TO our shores the labor, capi-
tai and skill of foreign lands, to make
our railroads, improve our prairies,
fill our factories and workshops, and
our armies with brave men.
7th. This war will preSerue and per-
pctudie our free Republican form Of
Government by eQuati-ing redlth and
property among the people, taxing the
millions paid by the wealthy being
distributed among the soldiers and
their families in the shape of pay,
bountics; pensions, land annuitics and
grants, leveling upwards, and check
ing tho vast accumulation Of wealth
and the consequent dependence of the
many upon the fe,c, tending, if not
thus corrected, to aristocracy and
monarchy in the end, thus, to, pre-
venting agrarianisms, by destroying
its motive. ..,.
9Th. The terrible punishment of the
authors Of this rebellion by this war,
will prevent its recurrence, by deter
ring all others, hereafter, from follow
ing their example and sharing their
fate, and thus put an end to secess-
ionism forever.
9th. This war by giving us a po,oer-
FIJI nary will prevent in future for
eign wdrS by causing our power to be
feared and rights to be respected on
the high seas. Thus preserving peace
By being prepared for wdr. ..., D..
10th. This war will prepare US for
taking our high and proper position
in the approaching great war Of prin-
cipleS, tho. worldwide ''irrepressible
conflict" between RepubIicdniSm and
despotism, the germs of which have
been. lately planted by Napoleon In
Mexico and by Frederick Of Prussia
in Denmark. l.'1'T ''i 81 '"I
