The mest Important spin,cu in the,United Stater,

In purtlnii with our Jurisdiction o> these United

of the Mississippi, ór any territory west of H, ud
without Floiidu, and could exist again. Tho war
had made 8,000 000 of b.ttor enemies on tbe Ameri-
can continent. Tho words Hhilob, Antie;am, Oettys

He raw neither st tbe North or 8uotb any senti-

the conclusion that In attempting to preserve enr
Jurisdiction over the Southern Slates, we had lost
our Constitutional form of government over tbe
Northern States. What had been predicted by our
wisest statesmen had come to pass. In «rasping
at tho shadow we had lost the substance ; in striv-
