quite en important aspect. For on tii? u
aomption that wo triU achieve our Independence
are bMtd oar fondant hope* and bright-,
oat anticipatlone, in reference to the- future
history of agjf beloved oouotry. Wo must
choose one of throe things, wo mus^ either
fight and suffer on until final victory shall hav*
orOwmd our effort* -with peaoc, indepcadence
auQ glory, or wa must willingly and inglorlously
submit to the Lincoln despotism, or we
must bo subjugated by the brute force of our
wielced enemy. Which of these threo re'cults
are wo going to choose? Are we as individuals
and as u people determined to sacrifice
everything if need be. rather than be
slaves ? Or have many of us determined to
make money by. litis cruel war, and hAard up I
lur ourselves innuiirs ill mc risx 01 plunging I
ourselves aud our entire-country into incxtra- i
cable ruin? In<icc<l, 1 am 9.?rry tluft so ninny
of us have so fur gone crazy afi.r the " afmightg
Jullar," tlint we have deadened all the
finer nnd nobler feelings of our nature to thai
decree, that we can ask any kind of a price
^>r oUr fnbrlct or products, except a reason*
able one. Or we can do cvoo worse, by closing
our barns, or other places of trade and
absolute',)- refusing to sell anything for Confederate
money. Is it possible that any man
in this country can refuse to let a soldier's
family hare tho indispensable necessaries of
life for our Government notes? Men too, wltb
have been exempt froin taking up arms and
going into the frmy of our country's safety,
t^rrply tor the purpose of supplying bur people
with the necessary fabrics, at the rate of
seventy five per centum on the actual cost of
manufacturing. Ami yet th.es* men can go
before an enrolling olliccr nml swear u ost
solemnly that the* arc setting their goods at
only seventy five per ccuiuiu on_ t'.c actual*
cost of maliiifncturing thein, when at the same '
time they a.e selling yarn at fourteen dollars
per bunch, leather at seven dollars per pound,
and ether tilings r>|U'illy high. Or another
class of men, ilvnominiled cau hare
the effrontery to monopolise this or the other
department of trade, and then demand the
most outrageous an-' extravagant prices imaginable
for those things which arc absolutely
necessary for the subsistence of our people*
O. my fellow citiicns, where are we drifting
to? Have wo lost all fellow-feeling? Have we
lost sigiii V the dearest and most sacred interests
of r?nr beloved country? ?^ave"wc for
gotten that <nir? a common cause, that w.<
are mutually and iuJtcitl t itly intercstc I ill this
great contest for freedom? Have rrc stopped
our ears against the groans of the suffering
and dying patriot soldier, the cries for bread
that come tin from the poor and destitute, and
the sighs and sohj of all the afflotcd Ollcs'ot
our land? Are we <le; criiitiiril m nm i.
blush the infant >u Irons >u o( Benedict Arnold,
by selling our country, our mothers, our
wives, our flud nil tluit should be dear
l iu 4vn, for a Utile inonoy. that only leads to
bewilder an I dottles to blind?
Let iij my fellow citizens wall" ttrt, and i'<e
in the majesty an 1 true dignity of man ? itchier
nature to the magnitude of the pros ;o!
occasion. Are we (??! Lot us t lien show oursolves
to bo worthy of this appellation, by the
exhibition of a virtuous, noble and self sit*
being sptii; ?f true patriotism and devotion lo
our country. If wc do thus we are safe. If
every uinn, woman and ehihl throughout ouf
country is ready to de itud suffer everything
r.ilhcr than bo subjugated, our cause will in
evitably trititnph, nnU whether \*? live or die
in litis Contest, the Hag of truth, of liberty
mm 01 uu<i will uliimatcly float in g'orious
triiiitij?l? over a laid baptized ia the blood of her
patriot sons, and a people whose richest legacy
tshill be the sacred dual of their hernlb
sires.
1 am no alarmist nor am I a desponding
croaker, yet if selfishness and a spirit of ct
tortioif continue to reign throughout bur country,
1 awfully fear that we will be subjugated
and brought under the foulest despotism and
into the most servile stute of slavery that has
ever existed. ]f we are $ubjuijaitd we will do
it ourselves. We will be self-murderers, fyc
worse, for wo will not only ruin ourselves, but
entail npou our iunooeut posterity the galling
chains of slavery in its worst form. There hs
no retreat for us but in slavery and chains.?
Some fanciful subtnissionisis may dream of reconstruction
on equitable terms, but tins is
absurd and perfectly impossible according to
the sworn purposes of our enemies. In fact it
is disgraceful for any southerner to think of
such a thing. Could we be ao depraved and
so far lost to nil |; ?
I ?* t>- as
to march ovgr the graves of more than two
hundred and fifty thousands of our bravest
countrymen, and many of them our dearest
relatives too, to reach forth the dastardly hind
of reconstruction to a vandal foe T No? while
* *l't
I write, 1 imagine, that 1 henr tour'hundred
thousand voices from the bravest men that ev;
er trod this laud -say Not And inore than n
fi) ill ion of an fl'dr If.die?, Ss the sun ever shone
on, rise up and say that we will do even more
than to give our much prized hnir for bowthings,
but wo will do utid suffer nil that our
net is capable of rather than to fail in tkc
achievement of our independence, ff we retrofit
ntiv, we will deserve the execrations t/
all true patriots, and show ourselves to be utr
worthy of freedom.

Most certainly we eould not. We mnt fetusmber

soon our ports were closed and Vo almost en
tirely out off from all intercourse with the

every conceivable abvantage over us so far at |

mid all these disadvantages we have guiucd {
many splendid victories. Considering all the {
