end.u This was while the armies
of Great Britain were on our soil and
when the walls Of our capitol were
blackeDed and marred by the fires
kindled by our foes. This covers the
whole doctrine of notification. JOSH
all Quincy advocated it in congress
when the admission of Louisiana was
considered in 1911. Mr.. Quincy said
81 am compelled to declare it my de-
liberate opinion that if this bill pass
es. the bonds of the union are Virtu-
ally dissolved. That the states which
compose it are free from their moral
obligations. anG that it will be the
right of all so it will be the duty OF
some to prepare definitely for sepa-
ration, amicably if they can, violent
ly if they must" Curry.
Mr.. Adlms sad: "The two postu-
lates for disunion were nearly consul
mated. The interposition of a kind
ly providence restoring peace to our
country and to the world ayerted the
most deplorable Of catastrophes, and,
turning over to the receptacle OF
things lost upon earth, the adjourned
convention from Hartford to Bostou
extinguished 10y the mercy OF heaven
may it be forever the projected New
England Confederacy." The annexa-
tion of Texas brought out the same
spirit in New England. In lS45 John
O. Adams, Truman Smith and other
congressman from the northern states
declared, in a joint letter, that the
annexation of Texas would justify
dissolution Of the union and would
lead to that result. Massachusetts, at
session of 1914 5, followed by other
New England states, resolved that
they we're not bound to recognize the
annexation of Texas as obligatory tC
them. The acquisition of this i'm
mense Texas addition was designed
and accomplished by Calhoun, Tyler,
Jackson, Polk and their political as
sociates. Curry. 1t may be state d
also that of the northern states, by
their personal liberty laws, nullitieo
the provisions of the constitution, the
laws of congress and the decision of
the supreme court of the Unite d
States, with reference to the return
of fugitive slaves. So that it appears
that New England and the north are
not spotleSs as to secession and nulli-
fcation Of the laws of congress and
that any obliQuy which may attach
to the south for secession and nullili'
cation also attaches to the north for

originating and claiming the right,
while the south at later period, to
protect her interests, exercised that
right, have omitted discussion of
slavery as it would make this paper
! too long, but when our constitution
was put in force slavery was legal in
all the original 13 colonies or states.
This brings us down to the great
war. 1t is now admitted by most
conservative and fair-minded men at
the north that the great struggle was
inevitable and could not be avoided.
That slgYery was the irritating cause
and that both the north and the
south we're responsible for slavery
morally alike. That slavery was the
south's misfor tune, the whole coun-
try's fault. The controversy of oppo-
sing and internal dissention of the
powers of the general government,
and the reserved powers of the state,
covered almost a century. The revo-
lutionary patriots, Jefferson an6d Mad
ison, being the exponents of what was
afterwards termed the southern side,
and Washington and Hamilton the
exponents of what might be termed
the northern side.
The war between the states may
therefore, as we look backward, be
recognized as a family quarrel, incl
dent to every great nation 10 its pro-
gress, and developed a spirit OF deter
mination, perseverance and yalor to be
found only with high strung, gallant
people, fearless in the expression OF
their opinions and in their defense OF
sacred inherited rights.
The south, as section has a glo-
rious past even in defeat in princi-
pies she knew to be right and worth
fighting for. In her mighty strug-
giles for self-government and states
rights, and in resisting invasion, for
four long years she gave evidence Of
self-sacrifce and endurance of hard
ships aud privations, and electrified
the world with her splendid madness
of unrivaled valor against great odds
drenching her valleys with patriotic
blood. Her records will be a bright
page in the history of our common
country. 1t takes more greatness to
bear defeat than it does victory, and
her conduct since the war has dis
played fortitude under trying trials,
which has added new lustre to the
people of the South.
In the great war of the Southern
people against a people outnumber-

For Cuban EmbezzIers In U. S.
Washington. April Senator Han.
ma proposes to introduce a bill which
will provide for the trial of Estes G.
Rathbone. recently convicted in Cuba
of frauds in connection with the Gu.
ban postal service, before a court in
the United States, under American
law and American methods. The sen
ator believes in Rathbone's honesty
Notwithstanding his conviction, and
claims that under our laws evidence
not admissible under the Cuban pro

1t is said to be extremely doubtful
whether congress has the right to
enact a law transferring the accused
ex-ofhcials to this country. for Cuba
is a foreign country, although under
the nominal protection of the United
