 Standing forty years away from the terrible days of the early sixties" we are now able to look back upon those times with cooler blood and calmer T.t tuAr nf Al world there has not been conflict in which there was greater generalship dispIayedt or more courage, and sac Eifice. and devotion. by the men and women at home, or by the soldiers in the field.
 Is there any difference between peo- pie of the North and the South to- day as there was in the period which we are about to consider? Today, strictly speaking, there is no North and South; they have been so intermingled that hardly any differences are not cd In colonial days the people of the two divisions differed in their manners of living, dispositions. social and husi- uess interests. and sympathies.
 When the first settlers came over from England they made their living by the farms which they cultivated. Not many years after. slave trade was introduced into America and was con- ducted mostly by men of the North.

The North seemed to believe in the old say ing. 'The third time is the charm, foi again they tried to bring Forth severa oth4r hills. These were three separate hiiis which embraced almost the sam, provisions as the omnibus Bill, knowr as inc Compromise Measures of 1850 These measures prevented secession fol the time. but failed to bring that last ing peace for which all go earnestly honed The representatives from th' North were much stronger and more numerous than those Of the South SC we can easily see that the South wal not responsible for an action whici nroved to be the opening of "Pandora'i Box -.
