own part, never ertaihed. We have consistently
held oppote SENTIMENT asd the event has warranted
ths judgment we formed. Whatever arrangements
may be cudsd between North and South, they will
ever n1eforth remain two nations, for many and OBJ

the North admitting the complete Independence OF the
Souh and the arguments Of this address in su.tanment
OF that cou GO are rrefragable.
