Sometimes it is, when waged in the interest of ambition, or resentment, or conquest ; but Avhen waged as this war is on the part of the loyal States in the interest of freedom, and a noble God-given nationality, the recognized bulwark of free- dom, it is not unmixed evil. 1 grant you that terrible evils do attach to every war, however just. War is to-day the scourge of our land. Heaven's instrument of deserved chastisement ; and as such, it becomes us to be humble while we are thankful — to lif...t our faces to Heaven with gratitude chastened and subdued by a vail of penitential tears. But look at the spirit in which this struggle was undertaken, a id which has marked the whole con- duct of the war, and decided its character. It was not a spirit of vindictiveness, but of reluctant yielding to a dire necessity. And severe self-denial was involved in this. Acquiescence in the foul schemes and violent dcaliuQ-s of the rebellion would 13 have been ignominious, but it would have secured peace.
