Tlieir errors have sprung not from any peculiarity of the people, but from the presence of an unfortunate institution, whose existence attaches upon the whole country. North and South. But we cannot if wo would, shut out the light of experience. We cannot, we dare not ignore the causes of this war. It, is well to understand that the vital principle of the war is hostility to free- dom. That it began in the interest of slavery and is prosecuted for the perpetu- AT lox OF SLAVERY ; and that it is... in the Providence of God, that no such question can ever find repose in compromises. If peace were declared to-day, and the limits set to a new empire, whose mission should be the perpetuation and exten- sion of slavery, the contest would not be ended. The spirit of liberty, and tJie spirit of humanity would laugh to scorn your puny efforts to circumscribe their power. The principles of war Avould survive your treaties, and with them would survive all the strife and all the agony. If tliere was to-day situated on our southern coast an independent nation, embracing six millions of white men and jour millions of slaves, and based upon the policy of perpetuation, the fabric would contain, within itself, the certain causes of its own destruction : opposition to slavery from Vithin, and opposition to slavery from without, would shock the State with unremitting assaults.
