1.-THE Confederacy Wa Foredooned to
Falure," Says Secretary Dickinson

the bounds of reason to assert that the
good would have been dwarfed in COM
parison with the evil.
There would have been a hate and
rivalry between the North and South
as intense as that between France and
Germany, with a borde line far more
extended, people less amenable to con-
troll. and causes for friction more nu-
merous. A Gordon of forts would have
stretched from the Atlantic to the
western border Of Texas. Army and
naval establishments would have de-
voured the substance of the people, and
militarism would nave dominated civil
government. The civilization of all the
States would have developed on differ
ent and more critical lines"
And even hat Gordon of forts
would have availed nothing for the
South as regarded the institution of
slavery. In the ante-bellum days the
fugitive slave law ran. The negro es-
Gaping from bondage must reach Can

sible to all but the most daring of the
slaves, and they were few.
But suppose the mere crossing of a
river or a geographical land line had in
sured liberty to the slave, as would
have been the case had the Union been
dissolved-one side of the line being
slave and the other side free territory.
What an exodus of blacks from their
bondage would have followed! How i'm
possible it would have been for the new
government In the South to maintain
its dominant institution-the foundation
of it's being! And failing to make its
labor secure, the South would have
failed as a great agricultural section
dependent upon unskilled labor for Its
prosperity.
Speaking of the result of the war, Mr..
Dickinson, a native of the South and a
descendant of men who cast their for
tunes with the C~onfederacy, said:
"At this day there are but few, If any,
dispassionate thinkers In h North who
question the patriotism of those of the
South, who on this stricken field gave
an example of American valor that will
forever thrill the minds and carts of
mankind in all countries and all ages
And at this day there are in the South
but few, if any who would not turn
swiftly with sentiments of abhorrence
from any suggestion that it would have
been better for the South II 1t had sue
ceeded In establishing an Independent
government"
This is the security of the reunited
country. All are agreed now that the
dissolution of the Union would have
been an appalling calamity for both
sections. A government founded upon
human slavery could not have beef,
maintained in close proximity to one
founded upon freedom. n In the dis
solution Of the former a new peril to the
whole North American continent would
have resulted.

'Its Very Cornerstone Was
Preordained to Disintegra-
tion," He Declares.

S HE address of Secretary Dickin-
son at Gettysburg Memorial
Day, says the Washington Star,
was in an admirable key. and most ap-
propriate to the occasion. Lees re-
pulse by Meade marked the turning
point in the great struggle between
North and South, and although the
war continued for nearly W. years, the
fortunes of the confederacy gradually
dwindled from the time of that great
engagement.
Taking the ground that the Confed-
eracy was foredoomed to failure, Mr..
Dickinson said:
"Its very cornerstone was of laminae
p~reordained to disintegration. Com
mercial and other conditions would, as
sure as fate, have brought about a dis
solving of the Confederacy. What
would have come from this, we can
only conjecture, but 1t is well within
