First sentence: WE trust that it has become obvious, by this time, to all the spectators as well as participants of the pending struggle, that the American Civil War is not a mere flash of sectional petulance, wantonly provoked by unnecessary aggressions, - the work of a few fanatical Abolitionists, on one side, and of desperate demagogues, on the other, - but a war of Principles, - a war of historical forces, lying deep as the foundations of human nature, and working wide as the scope of human action.
