pails OF the southern States which had

General McClellan's soldiers drove the
Fiutchlnsons' out from their camp
LOT singing abolition songs, General
Fiatt says that his was en-

sectional Controversy published in

states that Edward Stanly. who had
been appointed military governor Of
North Carolina, gave him an account
Of an interview he had with the Pres

so-called emancipation proclamation
on the ground that without it his war

they had been clamoring, the Radicals
would take the extreme step in Con

The Real Bone of Contention Between
the Sections.
After the more perfect Union was
established, New England statesmen
succeeded. against the protests of the
SouthcrnerS, and by methods which
were regarded as discreditab bic by Will
liam Maclay, one of PennsylVania's
first Senator'S, in having all the in
dustrieS of their section empowered
to prosper" at the expense OF other
sections. Their codfishermen were
authorized to draw bOuntles out OF
the common treasury; their ship build
ers were granted a monopoly of our
ship market: their merchantmen were
granted a monopoly OF our coastWlse
mmerce their shippers were grant

tial distinctions in our foreign trade

chantmen to make princely fortunes

Ion on the 10000 hogsheads Of mo-
Iasses which they were annually i'm
porting. according to H11dreth ana
Moore for the manufacture of rum
for the African slave trade.
The record Of these proceedings, as
! given in Maclay's Journal, SHOWS that

gla between the sections was the ques-
tion which finally led to the conflict
