orth? It certainly is not a war of principle; for it is waged in violation of all the principles they have professed. It is not a war of religion; for, as depraved, corrupt and fiendish a people as they, cannot have religious convictions or motives of conduct by any moral possibility. It is simply a war of interest. They want the benefit of our trade; they want to continue in the enjoyment of that tribute of millions which they have exacted from us for seventy years. They charge that South Carolina and the cotton States have been actuated by none but commercial motives in the course they have taken. Be it so; but we retort the charge upon themselves. The war on their part is a war of avarice. It is a war having its prompting in the same selfish motives which actuated Great Britain in her contest with the colonies. What did England care for her colonies aside from the gain they brought her? Her shipping monopolized their carrying trade; her manufactures monopolized their market

sm and to concentrate its energies on military preparation, and forced the border States into hostility to the Union. Were coercion actually practicable, this course might have been defensible; but strong words do not take forts, and Mr. Lincoln is further now from success against the South than he was when he started from Chicago. As regards Fort Sumter itself, he did the worst thing he could do. He intended to evacuate it in a few days; but sooner than consent to acknowledge that South Carolina was rebellions, he expressed his intention to send in provisions by force, if necessary. He thus gave the South the provocation and an opportunity of a brilliant victory, and had to submit to a mortifying defeat. The conduct of the Southern Government, on the contrary, has been marked by moderation and good sense. They clung to no fictions, and were hampered by no legal ignorance of plain facts. They wanted to leave the Union and they left it. They wanted to take Fort Sumter and they
