Each colony planted in America con-
sidered itself a nation, or Is stated
in the declaration of separation from
the parent government. an "independ-
ant state The idea was fostered
with most Yehemence in Virginia, but
was entertained to some extent by
the entire thirteen, and when the
Union was made more perfect by
the adoption of the constitution, as
declared in the preamble of that in
strument. the states assumed that
they had retained some right, or ele-
mont of sovereignty, that had not
been surrendered by becoming a part
of the federal union, and that this
retained right they were at liberty to
resume whenever, in the judgment
Of any one of them, their union
with the others had become oppres-
siye or bnrdensome TO its people.
That principle, denied by Marshall
and Webster, was clearly repadiated
by the authors of the "Federalist, "
Hamilton, Madison and Jay, was at
the bottom of the asserted right Of
secession, and was the real control
ing cause of our civil war.
When the news of Lincoln's cleo
ton was flashed over the wires, there
was rejoicing in the north and mad
rage in the south. The pent up fires
of ins~urreetion and disunion blazed
from every city. town, and hamlet
in the slave states, but more pro
nounced and fierce in South Carolina,
the ancient hot-bed of false ideas,
where was early terminated that par
ent of all that has worked i'll for the
nation, namely, that any one of the
states had a perfect constitutional
right, by implication at least, to with
draw from the Union and thus des-
troy its territorial integrity. Certain
II is, that that state assumed the
initlatory In the baleful enterprise of
breaking up the government, and set
ting in motion an independent politi-
cal entity of its own.
Between the date of the election
and the meeting of congress in Decem
Der, there was an interval of about
one month, and that time was utili-
zed by the promoters of dis-union in
flaming the flames in the Southern
states, and anywhere else they could
command an audience. 70 dismem-
Der the union was a big job, and no
one state could do much towards it.
In order to make a respectable show

the slave states as could be induced

bearing down every opposing force
like frail reeds in the path of a hur-
rieane. Before Mr.. Lincoln was in
augurated president. eleven of the
slave states had seeded and formed
a government of their own which they
named the Confederate States of
America elected a provisional pres
ident, adopted a constitution, deelar-
ing the new creation an independent
nation.
| need not recount the events that
followed. They are matter of familiar
history and accessible to all, but |
am justified in dealing with effects.
Until Fort Sumpter in Charleston
Harbor was fired upon, Mr.. Lincoln
hoped for a peaceful settlement of
all matters in difference between the
people over the vexed question of
slavery, but when the nation was act
ually assailed by war, that hope van
ished and the war power of the gov
eminent was called to oppose
force to destroy the Union, by force
to maintain it.
Mr.. Lincoln in his inaugural ad-
universal law the Union was unbrok-
en-" Theoretically speaking he was
correct, but the fact is, the southern
secessionists had already destroyed
the old Union, not territorially it
is true, but in all other respects.
The old Union was the first to die

the cause of the trouble. AS well

the old house of the fathers, with all
it's appointments, its contradictions,
defects and antagonistic working ma

first cannon ball that struck the walls
of Fort Sumpter, and the fabric OF
Washington was shattered into frag-
ments. The new one TO come out
of the ruins of the oid--if it ever
did-would be freed from all such
imperfections; and would be what the
Declaration of independence and its
immortal authors intended it should
be.
The people of the rebellious states,
may be, could take themselves out
Of the Union, but not the territory,
except by superior force, and at the
end of a bloody and wasting war.
We had that, but not an acre of the
vast domain was taken from under
the aegis of the constitution, nor is
its soil polluted by the thread of a
single servile slave anywhere. The

It is still published and is of a high
order of magazine literature, in which

of reading that publication from
week to week while the furore in the
political world, | have mentioned, was
going on; and still remember with
what curious feelings | regarded the
first illustration, after the secession
Of South Carolina, which was the pic
torial group of her delegation in con
gress,-her two senators. and mem
bers of the House of Representatives.
When their state seeded from the
Union, they vacated their seats in
congress and went home. 1t was a
new and strange experience, but l
doubt that people thought much of
the erratic conduct of the proyerbial
disloyal little %fire-eating state in her
serio-comic, but somewhat dramatic,
exit from the Union as she gave out.
But when in the next issue of the
Weekly there was another pictor-
ial group of seeding congressman
from another state. who had also va

sion of their state, the matter began

who had heard the old, and long time
thread bare threat to dissolve the
Union, and had come to think moth
ing of it, looked into each others
faces and asked, rs this indeed the
beginning of the end of the old Uni
on? Is the house of Washington
tumbling into wreck and ruin? 1t
looks like it."
1t is one thing to talk of doing
something, and quite another in the
actual doing of it. And SO with the
long INDUCED talk of dissolving the
Union. Nobody had taken it seri-
ously, for nobody thought it could be
done. But when, after the most tx
citing national election the country
ever had, a wide spread movement
was made in the south looking to that
end, because of the assumed unfriend-
ly result of that election, touching an
interest common to all the southern
states and in defense of which all
might be united-and were rapidly be-
ing united-the situation became
grave indeed, and decidedly alarming.
AS state after state resolved itself

representatives in congress, the con-
viction forced itself upon the minds

that end every energy Of the leading
seeessionists were bent with deadly
and t~ireless persistence.
The whole south was in an uproaf.
and was kept SO from tlat hour OF
10 the disastrous end. It Was plain 10
thoughtful people thar the election OF
IN anti-slavery president was as much
desired by the southern secessionists,
as by the northern abolitionists. as il
would furnish the pretext needed, and
would solidify the south for a common
purpose of protecting the institution
of slavery in all of them. On any
other question of administrative policy
it would be impossible 10 unite those
states, at least to the extent of dis
union. or to array them in hostile OPP
position to the authority of the general
government. It does not lie in my way
TO discuss the history of the great
eonspiracy-for it was nothing else
to wipe the United States from the
map of the. world, but rather, to re-
late briefly what | personally saw of
that colossal attempt.
When congress met on the first
Monday in December. pandemonium
broke loose. The enemies of the gov
eminent were in control. The presi-
dent was a mere puppet III their hands
and nearly every one of the political
departments We're presided over by a
traitor to the union. The Southern
states were fully represented in the
congress and the din of dis-union was
kept up in both houses to still fur
Their inflame the public mind south in
aid of the common purpose.
The legislature of South Carolina
provided for a convention to consid-
er the propriety of withdrawing the
state from the Union, The question
was an easy one down there. There
was scarcely a voice in opposition,
and on the Goth of December an ordi-
nance of secession was solemnly pas
sed. declaring South Carolina an in
dependent state and no longer a mem
Der of the Federal union. That was
the entering wedge, the first event in
the long threatened demolition of the
House of Washington. What folly,
what blindness. Little did those peo-
pie know what part in an awful dra-
ma they were playing hat day. No
more perhaps than Judas did when
he betrayed his Master, but without
such betrayal the gospel of Christ,
would have been a thing impossible,
and his apotheosis of the ages, the
mere shadow of a dream. 1t was
pretty hard on that unfortunate Is
r%aelite. Nineteen hundred years of
constant and universal anathemas for
doing the most necessary act to make
successful the vast and infinite scheme
of mans redemption, seems an in
justice so monstrous, so monumental,
that even the demons down under
the sea- would hardly be guilty of.

it is always easy to be so On any
proposition, but if | am, it must be
