that the fight had only been shifted from

if not now defeated, all that the North had .^
expended in blood and treasure to preserve
the nation will have been spent in vain.

hearers to the present leaders Of the De
mocracy, every one of whom had either
been engaged in the rebellion or had sym
pathized with it.
