The Government ought 20 acquire all

Espidan and Rappahannock rivers over

Slavery was the mere melting cause OF
the contest: the thing that was behind in
the minds Of the people of the South was
the resolution TO die rather than submit
TO imposition. Slavery happily. is gone,
but the lesson of the South's blood and
suffering Will endure forever. Worthy
men will always seek the spots where
Confederate soldiers chcenuly offered
their lives as d bulwark against northern
oppression; orators and poets viii in all
time drink in inspiration there. and they
win teach our descendants forever that

We leave the presentation Of that side to
northern men. We conhne what we have

appointed tho officers in open court be-

The system ought also. by all means, TO
