the conQueror had and has yet to decide
But the, listened to the hatterl0g tales OF
hope, laid the r hsnor In the dust, and

courage and trust to the clemency Of the
victor. Behold, said their orators, what a

ment, and while appsaling to their fellows
citizens to forget animositics, as the
Scotch and England have done, they also
forget to remember that, unlike that be-
tween England and Scotland, the lines OF
division between the North and Southern
States Of the old American Union is such
