orth in another point; they have through their Representatives, for many years, cried "_no more slave_ territory"; and indeed many of them, such as Seward &c., have declared that slavery _must be abolished_, as both can't exist under the _same gov.;_ yet, _now_ they are _fighting to the death_ to _keep_ or _get back slave territory!!!_ "Oh! consistency!" And, _finally_, at this point, will it not cost _myriads_ of _lives & millions_ of _money_ to accomplish their infernal designs, even _could_ they do it? And can the North afford this? Even now it is costing _Lincoln's Anarchy_ (for I can't call it _gov._) _$1,000,000_ per day--a _matter_ of _record!_ Suppose then the war sh^d last a year, what then? Union or dis-union? Alas, _farther separation_. Continue it then two years more. What then? _Ditto & ditto_ it will _be_ should it last as long as the "_War of the Roses_," for we have no houses of York & Lancaster to _unite_, sign and settle the dispute by marriage--_one_ or _both_ annihilated!--And now I ask how, in the name of Reason, Justice, or Humanity, can you lift up your voice in defence of the North when they are the cause of all this accumulating misery?--when they have deprived the South of her Consti^tn rights, driven her to the necessity of a separation, and now raise their arm against her as an enemy, declaring either to subjugate her, to overrun her with their vandal hordes, or exterminate from her soil every living creature?--& when, "Oh bloodiest picture in the book of time!" they are ready to repeat with a triple vengeance the untold horrors of the Spanish Inquisition? They are madly, blindly rushing, they know not where. The blame of dissolution rests upon her. And the still more awful responsibility of a civil war will hang as an everlasting incubus upon her shoulders. Then let her beware ere she "_cross the Rubicon_"--let her "pause long upon its brink." And shall we all perish by her fratricidal hand? Shall the blood, shed by brother in deadly war with brother, flow ignominiously through our rivers to the ocean & be carried by its waves to stain the shores of Nations that for long years have been centring their fond hopes on America as the _grand ideal_ of the gov. they too would some day enjoy? Shall such hopes be blasted as soon as fondly cherished? and now that Italy has trampled upon the tyrannical "Mitre"--torn from her long subdued neck the yoke of Papal bondage--passed from the darkness of super
