| BASED ON RIeHT.--The North wishes unity
and peace with the South, but this unity and
peace must be based on right. To us the
course of the South is amazing. It acts
| against its own best interest. Would it cul-
tivate agreeable relations with the North
capital and enterprise would flow to 1t, and il
would rapidly recuperate from the losses o
the war. This is the earnest wish Of the North
| We have no wish to keep up disagreeable re-
lations, or to leave the South in poverty. II
| is for the interest of all that each section
should be prosperous and wealthy. But Their
are certain great principles that are dear 4
| the North, and these are freedom, equalit
and safety. The North wishes the most in
| innate fraternal relations with every part O
our common country, but they must be baset
ON right and justice to all.
