political fact as complete that the Union is
restored tie intends to insist ON the several
States at once resuming their formal position
in the Union. But he is resisted By the same
men who at the outset of the war preached
the same doctrine which this We have
quoted preachers now. There il NJ reason
apparent 10 the ordinary judgment Of
any true patriot Why the Southern States should
not at once resume their places in the ranks of
Che Union, and every yestige OF the war disap-
pear There i no obstacle in the way of entire
restoration at the South. All the obstacles are
created at the North They are created BY the
same men who helped to bring on the war.
These men declare that they will have no peace
till they accomplish their objects. Does any
one imagine that if they should accomplish their
present purposes they would be any more ready

class. always known in all ages. bigOted. intole-

pulsion over their fellow men, aud who hsv-
log once obtained power are never content
to release their grasp. They always have an
object vet 10 be accomplished. and thai object
always involves trampling the rights Of those
from whom they have differed. In general
the motive of such men il hatred, although they
convince themselves that il is love. Ii is hatred
to the rich while it processes to be love for the
poor. It is hatred 10 the master. while il pro-
fesses TO be love for the slave They are not
content until they accomplish the whole Cutting
OF that hatred. and in so doing they almost inva-
riably destroy the class for which they profess
love. Such men are necessarily enemies Of
good government. aud are always ready 20 as

We are fallen on pefilous times for our coun-
try. Whether the war has accomplished its OBJ

slavery remained alive il would be a cause of
