The war once begun, We we're oil obliged
10 yield, more or lcss. to overruling nscss'
sity. You Of the South were compelled u
Az your country or join in cid Of the At

Upon this issue last suggested W entsres
the late political contest. The combincs

Tho war went on till African slavery has
been suddenly and violently uprooted. W,
believe this has been effected through gree
and useless wrong; but for this We are no
responsible, ~ We used Ill reasonable 81
forts to prevent that wrong.
In one important particular . crest bcneA
has thereby been conferred upon u.s. Il ha
removed The aele cause 81 disagrecmen
I, among those whose views in other essentii
Tespects are In harmony. This has bee
one ofthe many instances where retrbutiv
justice has crushed the wrong -docr through
bic own success, and benefited the 0ppos
ing party through his own failure.
And now we stand at the commencement
ct new political era. Old things hav,
passed away. Let the dead bury the dead
while We turn our thoughts to the living
and to the future. Whatever we may thinl
d accomplished facts they must receive oul
acquicscence. Let us then accommodate,
ourselves to what 10 inevitable, and direc
our efforts into channels where they car
siO produce useful results.
Those who have been foremost in urging
on this var lof,emancipauon now insist tina
