1627 - L. Jan. 1; ed: 2/1 - Democratic politicians and New York newspapers
support the establishment of an independent nation in the South.
We quote from John Stuart Mill's article in FRASER'S magazine for
December, 1859, in order to refute them. Mill said: "The sacred duties
which civilized nations owe to the independence and nationality of each
other are not binding toward those to whom nationality is a certain evil
or a questionable good." . . . -
(LEADER) "A nationality has no right to build a government upon a
'corner stone' of slavery. Subjugation of the South by our armies is
justified." (7)

1628 - L. Jan. 9; ed: 2/1 - Some men believe that the profession of
politics is a mean and unworthy one. They may admit that the calling of
a politician or statesman, and in the higher sense these are synonymous,
is an able or useful one, but believe that the affairs of state have
gotten into such a condition that honest men cannot afford to be as-
sociated with politics or politicians. "Because had men deal with
politics, that therefore the good must not, is the shallowest talk of
every shallow men." - - - (16)

1629 - L Feb. 26; ed: 2/1 - A certain class of Americans style themselves
"conservatives," in opposition to what they call "radicals." They
believe that primarily, conservatism means holding back in the traces.
"Conservatism is preservatism, but of all that Inakes the power and
glory of a nation. It is liberty we wish to conserve unto all men."

1630 - L. May 31; ed: 1/1, 2 - Mill, in his argument on representative
government, says the three essential conditions in any people in order
to have such a government are: First, people must be willing to accept
this form of government; second, the people so choosing sha il be ready
to defend their choice by personal exposure to danger if need be; and
last but not least the people must exercise the power of self restraint.
This must be possessed in order to exercise the privilege of general
suffrage.
"I hese qualities, so deeply inwrought into our people, have been the
fruit of our liberal institutions, of our education, and our Christianity."

1631 - L Oct. 22; ed: 2/2 - The New York WORLD is trying hard to over-
come objections to a convention of states. It admits that state sov-
ereignty is opposed by the North but approved by the South. The WORLD
also tries to show that the same doctrines of state sovereignty has been
held at different times in history, but has repeatedly died out, its
former defenders becoming its bitterest enemies. It also says "that
if the Union can be restored this metaphysical opinion of the South
would ultimately, by reason of self interest, die out in the South."
(LEADER) "This is all a very nice bit of reasoning, but it is un-
sound in starting with the assumption that the Union could be restored
and the virtual independence of rebel States be recognized before a
convention of States was called. A convention of States predicated
upon an admission of the right of any State to secede and consequent
justification of the rebellion, never could result in restoration of
the Union except on such terms as the rebels might see fit to dictate
as conditions of their return. The recognition of the right of a State
to secede Inight be salve to Southern pride, but it would never result in
restoration of the Union." (12)

torian digs up fossi liferous deposits of the year 1864, the Mastodon
discovered will be the Democratic doctrine of State rights. State
Sovereignty, in the sense of the Chicago gentlemen, is forever dead, and
will hereafter be the great political fossil of 1864." (3)

1633 - L. Nov. 19; ed: 2/1 - A government embalmed in the affections of
the people and whose armies are a free gift and numbered by the hundred
thousand is stronger than any planted on the bayonets of unwilling
subjects. "When we shall again be a united and free people, the Republic
embalmed in the affections of fifty million people, who can withstand the
march of free institutions throughout tile world." (5)

1634 - L Nov. 19; ed:2/1 - The only obstacle in the way of abolishing
slavery in the South is the stubborn and unreasonable will of the wicked
leaders, concealing their objections to one Union under the plea that the
idea of state sovereignty is an essential docirine of the constitution.
The people of the North will never consent to the doctrine to let a
state secede whenever it may see fit. They will pursue it until it is
annihilated. If the government shall offer peace and reunion to the
South with the condition that slavery be removed, and leaders refuse
acquiescence, it would result in the pursuance of the Rebellion with
more fury than ever. (16)

1635 - L Dec. 5; ed: 2/1 - The peace "Copperheads" of the North have, for
some time, advocated the doctrine of state sovereignty, as indicated by
their great organ, the NEWS. "This idea of State supremacy and Nation
subjugation is all wrong, and nine-tenths of the people of the North
feel this way about it." (4)
