CURED him TO trace the causes which con-
spired TO produce that memorable event.
II must be apparent 20 every well-intormed
reader that Mr. ScRouLER has allowed his
sectional prejudices TO warp his judgment
of the South in her action during this I'M
portant period. That some Of her leaders
were intemperate in their words and actions
no one will deny. But the wrongs, actual
and threatened, under which the south
acted. have mover been as yet fully appre-
ciated or candidly admitted by any north
ern historian. They were wrongs which
logically came into existence under the
operation of the United States Constltu-
ton over people divided in their interests
ns we're the North and the South, with the
power Of controlling and directing the vast
powers OF that Government IN the hands
Of northern majority, who acted from
purely selfish motives. Had the amend
ments insisted on by the Virginia Conven-
ton which adopted the Federal Constltu-
ton been adopted, this power Of a north
ern majority 10 Cypress the South would
have been taken away
The work Of Mr.. ScHoULEB IS valuable in
that il contains vast deal OF information
as TO the period of which he writes, and IT
il results in stimulating some competent
hand TO present the southern view OF our
grievances, il will have accomplished q
good result. In these matters the future
historian of the United States will doubt
less follow the Latin maxim, IN medic t''-
Gssan,ts IBIS.
