The long-continued predominance Of the South in
national affairs is briefly sketched in passage which
shows just view of the false position into which it
had drawn one of the great political parties of the
nation.
During period Of forty eight years 17s9S3, the slave
States had held the rens Of government for forty years,
the free States only eight II followed Of course that In
with fortune divided the suages Of the North
atng uniformly with the Democratic party its subserv
lent ally maintained its hold the Government With
remorselessly exacted fun equivalent IN all things that
touched the interests Of slavery With much certainty
did II count on these concessions that had not the civil
war occurred u would have required the restoration OF
the African trade II actually did expect what IN po-
ltical sense, was sti more In achieving
secessonan act self tultifying, for II necessarily
subseryiency in the Northern Democracy

tempt at secession ended IN dsaser IT laid the blame
the treachery Of its old ally.
The moral Of DR.. Drapers work is to be sought in
the lesson of warning which it derives from the ex
perience Of the past The witnesses of the recent
carnage bound TO up their voice for the in
struction of posterity. The conditions which brought
the conflict with slavery exist in other relations
and will in due time exert their deleterious power

and political organization of the country and will
