(Continued from Pago Four) strlctlon and on the ether hand for the extension of the power of the slave-holding states. On the plat form adopted by tho Republican party at tho Chicago convention Lin coln had been nominated nnd elect ed. He and the platform on which he stood had been bitterly assailed by the slave-holding power, and af ter the election the storm of the campaign grew into the tempest of rebellion. The South would not concede the right of tho majority of the states to control the policy of the United States, and one after the other, tho Southern States, by action of their state conventions, seceded from the Union. At the time of the inauguration of Lincoln seven of those states had already gone out, a confederate Congress had conven ed and Jefferson Davis had been elected President of the Southern Confederacy. Rebellion had been fully determined on. Secession" was an accomplished fact. Even then, by the declarations made in his first inaugural, Lincoln sought in a con ciliatory way, but with a firmness of which he was always capable, to stay the destroying hand of the South. Ho said: "In your hands, my dissatis fied fellow countrymen, and not in mine is the momentous issue of civil war. The government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggreBsbrs. You, have no oath registered in heav en to destroy the government while I shall have the most sol 1 emn one to preserve, protect and defend it! I ani loath to close. We are not enemies but friends. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of af fection. Tho mystic chords of memory stretching from every battlolleld and patriot grave to every living heart and hearth stone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union when again touched, as surely they will be by the beti ter angels of our nature." First Act of Rebellion. But it was all without avail. Lin coln's broadiuinded and conciliatory words were accepted by the South as the gage of battle thrown down to them. Indeed, as a matter of fact, the first overt act against the fed eral government had already occur red. In Charleston harbor on the South Carolina coast wero three fed eral torts, Moultrie, Sumter and Castle Plnckney. In command was Major Robert Anderson, himself a Southerner, but finely loyal to his government. Tho hostile attltudo of the South Carolinians so admonished him that on the night of December 2G, 18G0, he spiked the guns of Moultrie and transferred his force to Sumter which could be more eas ily defended. Tho uproar through out the South was tremendous. They declared that Anderson should re ceive neither reinforcements nor supplies. Buchanan, vnclllntlng and temporizing, was finally prevailed on by those who desired to preserve the Integrity of the Union, to come to the relief of the garrison at Sumter, and a vessel, the "Star of the West," was sent with supplies. As tho ship ap proached Charleston harbor she was iired on by the South Carolinians and compelled to withdraw. Had there been a man in the presidential chair at that time with a spino in his back and red blood n his veins, war would have begun at once. Tho entire sterngth of the government would have been put forth to relieve Fort Sumter. But Buchanan, temporizing with the South, agreed that so long as the fort ronialned free from at tack ho would make no further ef fort to provision or reinforce it. Things wero In this condition when Lincoln took tho reins of govern ment on March 4 th. It was apparent that matters could not go on in this way. Lincoln was in a quandry. He could not relieve Anderson without inaugurating civil war with all its burdens and its horrors. Ho could not withdraw Anderson from Sumter without breaking faith with tho peo ple who had elected him and violat ing his conscience nnd his oath. Ho decided to provision Sumter. On March 29th he called his Cabinet to gether and presented tho situation to them. All the members agreed with him except Seward and Smiiu, and immediately orders went out to pre pare an expedition to sail on April 6th for the relief of Anderson. Tho governor of South Carolina received notice from tho federal government on April 8th that an offort would be made to supply Fort Sumter with provisions only. On April 6th the re lief expedition sailed from New York, and on April 12th the bombardment of Fort Sumter began. Tho con federate states having seceded from the Union and Fort Sumter being in their territory uiey determined to oust tho federal forces and take possession by force of arms. Major Anderson refusing to withdraw or surrender, they bombarded tho fort. They fired an tho soldiers of the United States. They shot down the American flag from tho ramparts. They began ono of tho most tre mendous and terrible wars In all history. With his little garrison of hair-starved men exhausted, tho Hag down, me fort on fire, ho was com pelled to succumb. So the war was on. Tho South was Jubilant because the blow had been struck which they believed was to rolease them from the Union. The North was thrilled with surpriso, with indigna tion, with a hot desire to restore the prestige and retako the property of mo union. Lincoln's Course. Lincoln no longer had any doubt as to nis courso. un Aorll 15th he issued a proclamation calling for 75,000 militia. The response to the call was Immediate and enthusiastic. Many states sent moro than their quota. Troops to tho number of 91,816 came in answer to tho call. There appeared no longer to bo any division of sentiment In the North. 'J ho destruction of ort Sumter had unified tho people. Stephen A. Douglas who had fought Lincoln and his policy for years, now went to him and offered his services. Greeley, Everett, Beechor and many others who had been advocating tho theory that tho errlug sisters of the South should be permitted to go in peace, now folt and declared that the day for compromise had passed, that thenceforth tho iron hand should rule. A great wave of patriotism swept tho country. Public meetings were held. Funds, supplies, assist ance of all kinds were offered to the government. The loyal heart of the North responded with a will to tho attack on Sumter. Before the first of May there wero 20,000 troops in Washington, and soon the govern ment was turning away great bodies of volunteers who offered their ser vices. Galusha A. Grow wrote to tho War Department on May 5 beg ging that Pennsylvania volunteers over and above the state's quota might not be refused, but received and hold in readiness In the state. CI row's Letter. "You have no conception," ho wrote, "of the depth of feel ing, universal in the northern mind, for the prosecution of this war until the flag floats from every spot where it had a right to float a year ago." Tho Possible Result. I have tried to recall the condi tions as they existed in that April of ilfty years ago, and to picture feebly the sentiment, tho patriotism and the action of tho North. And the point I wish to reach is this: What would have been the result at the end of llfty years, had there not been this public sentiment, this burst of pa triotism, this outpouring of men and money in support of tho great pres ident, for protection to the flag, for tho preservation of the country. Without the sentiment of the people of the North back of him all of Lincoln's efforts would have been unavailing. Without that free-will offering of men and money, the South would have accomplished Its mistaken and misguided purpose. The Southern Confederacy, starting with seven Southern States, adding four more when Sumter fell, would have gone on grasping for more and more, encroaching continually on the North for the enlargement of her territory. The citizens of the bor der states would have been in a con tinual turmoil. Their people, divided among thomselves, would have form ed a zone of continual disturbance stretching across the entire conti nent. And if the seven or eleven or any number of the Southern states might withdraw from the Union and set up a government for themselves, so, with equal right and ' authority, might any number of the western states. Let once tho principle pre vail that any stato might, on her own motion, dlssolvo her relations with the United States as a body, and political anarchy would soon ensue. Any difference that any state might have with tho federal government, or any pretext for a difference, would result in her withdrawal from the Union. The same thing would have been true later on with tho Confederate states. And it is a remarkable fact that in the constitu tion adopted by tho Confederate states, no provision was made for the withdrawel of any state; a virtual acknowledgment of the principle that the union of the states must of necessity be Indissoluble, in order to preserve tho Integrity of the body. So that tho great principle for which Abraham Lincoln contended, for which tho soldiers of tho North fought, for which thousands suffer ed and died on tho battlefield, in the prisons, in tho hospitals, In the camps of the south during those four terrible years, was not primar ily the freedom of the slaves, or the restriction of slave territory, or the protection of government property, or that any political party might prevail. It was for the basic idea that the union of states once formed and organized Into a federal body could not bo disrupted against tho will of that body. Other Results. If, fifty years ago, the right of secession had been conceded what would have been the situation to night? There possibly would have been a group of states in the north east still retaining tho name and or ganization of the United States of America. There is every reason to suppose that there would have been a group of confederated states In tho west known possibly as the Western States of America. It is also reasonable to presume that there would have been a group of the mid-continent states known as tho Middle States of America. Perhaps all these would have been again sub divided, each with its separate or ganization and laws, with its own policy and rules concerning the" great national problems of tariff, transportation, foreign relations, cur rency, etc. And suppose, what is most unlikely, that we wero all liv ing at peace with each other, think how we would havo been hampered. There would havo been no great government to maintain order and equality on this continent and to protect tho American people from foreign aggression. There would have been no uniform system of banking and currency by which every man's dollar Is equally good in New York or San Francisco, in Maine or Florida. There would have been no great railroads binding east and west together, nnd north and south, and doing moro than any other agency to make of us all a homogeneous people, with common Interests and common causes and common ambitions. Thoro would havo been no common laws, no uni form courts of Justice and no power of a great government behind them to protect every man in his rights and assuro him of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Mora than nil else there would have been no one flag, symbol everywhere of tho same liberty and the same law no ono flag to which every man could appeal, to which every man could doff his hat, for which every man from tho lco-bound hills of Alaska to the Florida everglades, would feel In his heart and mouth and oyes a thrill and touch of pride and loynlty wherever ho saw it floating in the sunshine. Ap plause. Reason For Gratitude. My friends, if there Is one thing above all others for which every Southerner ought to fall on his knees and thank God for tonight, It Is that when Sumter fell, Abraham Lincoln had wisdom and courage enough to ralso up as army to meet force with force; it is that in the breasts of tho men of the North thero was sufficient love of a great country to lead them to shoulder arms and follow her flag to death for her preservation; it Is that after four years of a terrible Civil war, the South beaten, starved, exhausted, saw her great general Lee at Appo mattox on the twelfth of April forty six years ago, surrender the army of Northern Virginia to our great general Grant, and so bring tho con flict to a close. For because of these things and these things alone, it has so transpired that every citizen of the United States, be he Northerner or Southerner, has a country and a flag to which no country or flag on the face of the earth Is superior in strength or wealth or glory or that moral force which makes a nation mighty.
