Federals will one day come to the same con- ciymon with regard to the Southern States. Let us put the other case. What if Pre- sident Lincola and Mr. Seward had walked a4 quietly into and over the Southern States | us ihey expected? What if they had found thgt the Southerners were well content tw make the excuse of insufficyent preparation, want of ships, arms, and ammunition, and vow their necks to the terms of their con- querors’ All the world would have felt this » slur, pot on this or that State, but on the American character ; yictory in such a field would baye been thought up inglorioys acci- dent; and the Constitution wou}d baye been concluded no longer sate when the only real guarentee of liberty, the courage of the indi- ydual, wag proved to be wanting.
