might with equal propriety, say, in all
the Southern States there was an en-
tire unanimity of opinion in favor Of the
Union of these States. The South is
sound and sincere in its loyalty to the
Union. The reason of this was obvious
and founded on the simple principles OF
human nature. The ideas on which this
war had been undertaken were nurtured
in the South fifty years before their prac-
teal execution. The battle had been
fought and the South had lost and natu-
rally the reaction was greater, for their
| suffering had been greater, and the party
that had suffered most to break up the
Union was evidently best satisfied in nc
cepting the result of the contest, at the
conclusion of the war. President John
son had summoned three persons to con-
suit with him as to the conditions on
which the Southern States could be re-
admitted into the Union. He (Seward)
was one of these parties, and he advised
that when the flag of secession and
slavery was hauled down from its stall,
the integrity of the Union should be re-
stored in its full integrity. In answer to
a demand from the crowd, TO tell them
something about Mexico, he replied;
f" Yes, / will tell you something about
Mexico. Take care of the States that
you have already got, and when you
have secured them win talk to you
about Mexico"
