But whatever their differences may be, on one point they are agreed: further resistance to the power of the National Government is useless, and submis sion to its authority a matter of necessity. It is true, the right of secession in theory is still believed in by most of those who formerly believed in it ; some are still enter taining a vague hope of seeing it realized at some future time, but all give it up as a practical impossibility for the present. All movements in favor of separation fro...m the Union have, therefore, been practically abandoned, and i86 5 ] Carl Schurz 287 resistance to our military forces, on that score, has ceased. The demonstrations of hostility to the troops and other agents of the Government, which are still occurring in some localities, and of which I shall speak hereafter, spring from another class of motives.
