The Soldier refers us to the public exhibitions

the shameful confession that they have accepted a
war which they cannot fight to a successful issue,
and that they claim rights in slaves which they
are incapable of maintaining by force of arms,

misuudeistanding or misinterpretation of the law
as to valuation. The people of those counties only
need know their duty to the State, and they will
perform it as cheerfully and as faithfull y as those
of auy other counties. We can speak with confi
