" It ksiugular that tlrese people of the West should be so bltml to their own future.

The money is there in a tangible and concrete form, and there for their use. Arid -there also for our use:; and all we are required is to pay the lowest interest upon it. If any portion of the people desired to- re- - pudiate, it- should big the people of the South. • I,t Was for their .subjee ti6n the debt was made. -Every dol lar-of it represents a drop of South,. ern blood.

We should have had our revenge, but in a sort that-we do not covet. Instead of desiring Ito 'play the role of destruetiVes, how different is our attitude! The. South, as an integral part Of the Union, is now affected by everything that touches ; its honor, and particularly its financial honor. We cannot separate o.ursell'es frinin the North, if we would, either.' com mercially or financially.
