merciless ridicule. IL missed IN fOuhu

No good man would wish such result, and
every right-thinking man would deplOie H.
The occasion now does not justify II, but
il is well 10 make known the TACT that the

The late Benjamin Hill was right when
he declared that the people Of the South are
true and loyal 10 the Union. IL is their
house and their home, and belongs 10 them
az much as 10 the descendants OF the best
Puritan who landed In the Mayilower. we
will never again play another role OF secces-
sion. We have no idea OF being guilty OF
treason or anything like il, and il is earn

Independence, may never have. 10 be put In
force here: if il is, il will be on behalf OF
the Union and not against it.
The one hundred and sixty-iiye thousand
miles OF railroad in the United States OF
America binds US together with bands OF
iron and renders secession practically I'M
possible. The growing commercial inter-
course between the States, owing to the adj
yancement of chemical and mechanical
science. is another factor which would rem \
der IL impraciicable. But while all this is
strictly true, the negro question may bring
about q serious revolution, which, while II
would not affect the union OF the States,
