GLADSToNE's WORDS RECALLED.
In 1862 William Ewart Gladstone.
then the most influential citizen In
England wrote 10 Cyrus W. Field his
opinion OF the American struggle for
the preservation OF The Union. Among
other things he said:
But there is an aspect OF the war
which transcends every other: the
possibility of success. The prospect
OF success will not justify a war In
itself unjust; but the impossibility OF
success I'm war OF conquest of itself
sufiices to make II unjust. When that
impossibility IS reasonably proved
all the horror, all the bloodshed. all
tho evil passions, all the dangers to
liberty and order, with which such a
war abounds, come to lie at the door
OF the party which refuses TO hold
its hand and let its neighbors be.
When Gladstone penned those words
lie was convinced that the north
couldn't win, and inferentially laid at
the door OF the north the blame TOT
further bloodshed.
