It is not to be disguised, that a war has broken out between the North and the South. - Political and commercial men are industriously striving to restore peace: but the peace, which they would effect, is superficial, false, and temporary.

To no human charter am I indebted for my rights.

But I love honesty, and, therefore; do I make great account of facts.
