Quod ab initio non valet, tractu temporis convalesccre wore potest — that which had no force in the beginning caij gaia no strength from the lapse of time. A cla'm or, title, originally defective, cannot derive any additional weight from prescription. Is it not the philosophy of history, though we may ignors it, that all the Governments of the world have approached stability ...just in proportion as they have settled down in the principles of right ; and that " the nation which overrides jus- tice and humanity is ever spawning the seeds of its own destruction?" But slavery as it was and is, is to remain, whether the loyal States are successful or un- successful in this war for the defence of the Con- stitution and the Union. Those laws and cus- toms and habits of slavery under which, in the yeur preceeding President Lincoln's inaugura- tion, seven hundred and twenty-three m^n from tue North were treated with brutal violence at the South ; between forty and fifty were mur- dered ; many were tarred and feathered, or (TU'-lly whipped ; many were imprisoned and robbed of their money and clothing, and no local :iuthorities in'erfered for their protection.
