' "I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break, our bonds of affection. " The mystic cords of memory, stretching from every battle-field and patriot-grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature. " Thus he held out the olive-branch — thus he for- 15 bore threatening — b...ut, when every gentle means foiled, he proved to them that the magistrate " beareth not the sword in vain. " The door of the temple of Janus was opened, and red and bloody war stalked through their laud. The war- horse neighed and pranced upon the summits of all their hills. The tread of innumerable soldiers shook the earth as they marched over it — con- quering and to conquer, capturing men, subduing cities, blasting and desolating the fertile fields. The ships of war thundered at the gates of all their ports, battered down their forts, and took possession of their harbors, till they fled like sheep from the whole coast.
