suspected it. Such rebellion, however, would
have been as easily crushed as the notification
riot In South Carolina. Buchanan was chosen,
by the aid of the Northern democracy, and the
danger was over for the time. Nevertheless
it was only for the time. The Southern lead
ers were shrewd enough to know that the "mud-
sills and greasy mechanics" chung obstinately
to their favorte ideas. These leaders saw from
the strong republican vote that the power Of the
democratic party was on the wane. They sur
missed and expected that republican President
would be elected in $780, Consequently they
used their last tour years of influence TO prepare
for rebellion, and when they were ready they
threw Douglas overheard and deliberately con-
nived at Lincoln's election, in order to use that
election rs pretext for disunion. III
Conceived in treason, nurtured by theft and
strengthened by the basest betrayal Of public
confidence, this rebellion began hostilites in
1861. The Northern people were taken by sur
prise; they we're totally unprepared they found
their small regular army for out Of reach and
their navy scattered to the four winds OF Heaven.
At the commencement of the war the tone Of
the Southern people was that Of tremcnd-
GUS braggsrts; but they were not braggarts,
since they really believed their own words.
They had been educated to think that one
Southerner could whip FIVE Northerners, and il
took some time TO fog this conceit out Of them.
The temper Of the Northern people was irreso.
Lutte and conclliatory. They did not want to
fight, and tried hard to find some way out Of IL;
but, finding no such way, they commenced to
fight steadily and coolly They were like a

to compromise with it; and finally he takes Of

the North and South have presented this con-
trast all through the war. The North has been
cool, steady, patient, determined generous, in

liberal and revengeful, resolutc and Eighty,
The North has represented the national feeling
and has warned all the rest OF the world to
keep out of the contest; while the South has
represented the sectional feeling, and has re-
