The Southern cause is lost so irretrievably that there ' remains no Southern man insane enough to hope to see it resuscitated.

States Out of the Union, and were now trying to fight them back. He stated that if the representatives from the South .were not soon admitted into Congress the South would refuse to , return, and he would justify and in- - dorse them in so doing. He Strongly favored the taxing of bonds, and tried - to create a hatred in the minds of the Western people against the East. After bitterly denouncing Thad. Stes.; vens, he closed by saying Johnson and the Democracy would change the present state of affairs. ; Gen. Manson, the head of the Democratic State ticket, was called for and . responded in a dry and monotonous rehash of principles already given. While the General was speaking many of the weary throng were transported to the land of dreams. In a portion of his speech he sunk himself below the level of the meanest of Demo

But in his rotary motion about this point the lecturer throws off more tangible matter, and it is of this that we propose to make a partial analysis. ; He discusses two peculiarities as attending the late "rebellion" "that make it sni generis: " First. " Its authors have never been agreed among themselves as to the causes which produced it, and may never give to the world any statement of the grievances which induced them to attempt the overthrow of a Government which was as much their creation as purs." Second. "The other peculiarity of the A merican rebellion is to be found in the fact that it is the first in human history against . established government directly and professedly in favor of human slavery. It seems to us that the only inference that can be justly drawn from the latter assertion is a refutation of the first. The Southern people "re-j

sucn distinction, in England with
slaves deivmg in mines, toiling at
looms, and waiting behind chairs, there came forth Shakspeares, Bacons, Newton true exponents of civilization. In the South, with slave to fill the lower walks of life, there appeared Washiogtons, JefFersOns, Poes. In Boston, where practical slaverv t
as yet only partially developed, there have arisen very creditable plagiarists in Prescott, Longfellow Holmes. In other parts of the North where therp

from that which has lon obtained in England and all other highly civil
ized countries only in this that it was recognized by statute law, while that in England exists in arr-orrlanr-A
with the common law, both equally hmding. - We roi?ht show that mir
formot slavery was milder, but that is not to the point. This is the institution, then, that we saw endauger- : ed. How? Here would be a
place tor the history ot the Abolition party. But we shall deal with it onlv as the full grown monster. In 1851
the principles ol this party had been fully enuuciayjid by their majority in the lower House, by their orators in and out ' of Congress, by their party platforms; by the raid of John Brown, feaid their orators, " The Constitution is a league with hell," etc. Said their party platform, " Eradicate from the lerntones those twin relics of barbarism, slavery and polygamy.'' Said one of their great apostles, " There is an irrepressible conflict between freedom and liberty." In 1861 a party shouted such battle-cries elected their candidate and got possession of the Government; from that moment the latter, perverted from its originel intentions, ceased to be that of "our
common creation." .And here we have, come back to our lecturer's assertion, and shown its fallacy.
