punished is a strange word for the North to
hear in such a sentence.
On the other hand, the Northern fanatics are
az little satisfied with the result of the war as
are those at the South. They have piled up for
us debt that mortgages every mans bread
and butter; they have taken u brother or a son
out of every family, and yet they swear, like so
many Molochs, that the dreadful sacrifice must
go on. Now, this party that clamors treason
at the North and the party that camors treason
Mt the South are rs active and as violent as
ever, as if there had been ~ dreadful settle
ment by war Of the questions they argue.
II is certain that they will cause grave troubles.
They may not make another war, but they will
make throughout The country, North and South,

ton TO which the open, undisguiscd horrors Of
war would DO preferable. Northern fanatics
will insist upon driving the South to the wall
on every point that relates TO the rcorganiza-
ton of Southern society, and Southern fanatics,
clamoring the wildness that the war has not
driven out of their heads, viii draw down upon
the South reign OF terror in the shape OF pro-
scripiions, in which The innocent will suffer

II has become very serious question, what
we are TO do TO guard against this great and
obvious danger Of our futurc--ths reminding

VIC could before. The constitution still con-
tains the dangerous error that we cannot touch
