for political purposes, the press here ls
talked of oppression and tyranny; bt
that was done only for pretext Tn.
truth was, that the majority here n,s
laid eyes upon United States cfcll
more formidable than some neighbor, p|
whom a postmastership had fallen as lii
share of party spoil. The ruling cost,
had every right possessed by their bretb,

seeds of discord, however, were planted
at the forming of the Union, in the sbsp,
of conflicting state systems. The course 4

By the side Of free labor.
Each year some change in the funda
mental principles upon which the Uniol
was established, was demanded, and for 1
time granted by the free States. Soon
became evident that if slavery we're
live, free labor must perish. The Verie'
schoolboy could see that the struggle f5
existence between the two involved ti
destruction of one or the other, if tbs
we're to remain side by side. The Dol
slaveholding States were called upon
give up their individuality as free labc
communities, and the answer to this De
mand was the election of Abraham Lii
coin, Nothing was left for slavery bl
to obtain by force what could not be ba
through constitutional measures, and Il
effort was made.
A rebellion aims st q particular a
aud leaves untouched tt
fundamental principles upon which th
State rests. English history Is full
examples. A revelation, on the col
trary, strikes at the fabric Of the govern
ment itself-as in the eases Of the gr'a
English revolution, and the two Frls
underwent. The Efforts of the Sou
belonged to the class Of the latter.
The result we know. Slavery was d
feated, and the logical consequence.
that it must be destroyed The ezhl'
