Truth, sclf-reapeot and siuthern manhood demand It. F-n trlotism itself den ande it. The statesmanship and spirit of liberali'y of ihe north will sauctioa it. The danger is that injustice will be done to the conquered and not to the con queror. Iu the average estimation of mankind, vioiory vindicates, while defeat dooms to misconstruction. I introduce these statistics by res marking that it is difficult lo obtain any sd-quate conception of the cost ot that war to the country. Perhaps this gigantic expenditure will be more readily appreciated when I state that if expended in steel tracks it would have constructed enough miles < f railway to have reached more than eight times around the whole ear ;h. But let us oome to the details. The original colonies wnich rebelled against the mother country and ee tablished their independence were thirteen in number. The snuiliert. states wl'icb sought thelrindepend- e .ee wer- also thirteen in number.
