Secession Michiavellis came to Light to de-
u,onstrate with what cool, unimpassioned,
stealthy industry preparations were made for
the severance Of this Nation and the erection
o: the prea: Cotton Confederacy. From the
line that that ablest and most demoniacal of
the Southern marplots, Calhoun avowed
selfish, aggressive and distinctive policy for
the South until Lee surrendered his
sword to Grant, intense and unceasing efforts
we're constantly made everywhere through

intended to be merely antecedent to the

Union assaulted with the fercest spirit of hate

tight out its battles and struggle for its life
while surrounded on every hand by nations
whose governments were only too ready to

Coufederates. Let those who have any ling

the monstrosity of foreign policy and
foreign representation conducted. with un-
ceasing m alevolence, to pave the way for the
uprising and if-asscrtion OF the Confedera
oy whose cornerstone was to be African
Slavery. Democratic traitors in every
court of Europe poisoned the ear of royalty
with tales Of Northern imbecility and South
ern liberalty, strength and resource. Ameri-
can Ambassadors, representing, or showing
credentials to prove that they represented the
power and purpose of the great masters and
conductors Of American politics, laid their
plans day BY day and year by year before the
and cooperating magnates of
England, France, Spain, Germany and the
other nations of Europe. Was it to be ex- i
pected that after being so represented abroad,
the Union should find in monarchical Europe ,
anything but accomplices of the Confedera- s
