Harper's Pictorial History of
THE GREAT REBELLION IN
THE UNITED STATES
s, Messrs. Harper & Brothers have .com
menced tHe issuein Numbers of a complete
History of the Great Rebellion in the
.United States. The work has been fori
" -many months in course of preparation, by
a writer every way qualified, for the task.
TThe Introduction, contains a clear and-
, succinct account of the formation of the
Confederacy of the States ; the formation
'and adoption of the Constitution of the
" United States, and the establishment of
' the National Government ; the origin, de
velopment, and progress of the doctrines of
Nullification and Recession, and the van
ous phases which they assumed until their
final culmination in the ureat .Rebellion.
1 The History comprises a full account
. -drawn from the most authentic sources, of
gijl the Events of the War ; the intrigues
-bf'the Southern leaders at home and
"abroad : the gradual defection of one
'.section : the great Uprising of the Peo
pie for the maintenance of the National
r-Life and Existence; the rapid creation of
an immense army and navy ; and" chc bat
tles- by land and sea. '
The illustrations comprise portraits of
. all those vho have borne a prominent part
in the struggle ; Maps of the different lo
- -calities , plans of the leading actions
views of every scone of in'ori. and "of
'the most important batilea. Theo illufitrd-
''lions are mostly from drawings taken on
!tho spot, by artists deputed for that purpose
to accompany every division of our army
and navy.

Delivered to the 7upj; .en cf ?.Tnsadjusrtt3
by the Hon. "ii" ngu', L.at,iu- time, pe
culiarly r.ppropmte to ycung men every where :
A bcobe of generations may roll by
before the world presents another oppor
tunity so glorious ' as now offers to make
your lives immortal. History has a sharp,
quick pen now. The lightning plays
through it. Not one atom of the humblest
heroism escapes it. Not a name under
which a brave man or boy does well shall fail
to be recorded where it will be read by
admiring, grateful millions, ages hence
The revolution of '76 was but the tame,
prosy prologue to the grand drama in,
which you are invited to be actors.
That war grew out of a question about
taxes, as many wars had before. It
aimed no deeper. But in getting into
full blast it raised a principle which gave
it a glorious vitality and insured it suc
cess. That principle has a political em
bodiment in the constitutions of the
national and state governments under
which you live, consciously happy, proudly
free. But the revolutionary war was not
fought under those constitutions. Our
fathers for seven long years threw them
selves, shoulder to shoulder, against home
tones and foreign despots, under another
document a paper such as the human
world had never heard'of before. It needs
not be named for you all have it by
heart and your hearts have all been
made larger by it. That paper thrilled
through all Christendom, and far out into
heathendom. It served better than the
strongest government to knit together the
hearts and arms of the people of thirteen
V most heterogeneous colonies,' and make
them victorious over the proudest govern
ment of, Europe for it charmed enmity
out of the very heart of the people of that
government. ,
Against that immortal paper it is, and
not against the constitution, otherwise
thanTas' an emanation from it, that the
conspirators of the South have risen in
rebellion. -They long ago made up their"
minds that they would, not temporarily,
but .forever and aye,, mollify and s.e.tat
nought the! first -and foundatioa sentence
of the .'Declaration of Independence, the
true and only gospel of American as well
as human .liberty, and they have rebelled
against, the constitution only. because it
would not practically confirm arid eternize
that' nullification. - , -- -

FARM RESIDENCE OF MR. SAWYER, ON FEE
promulgated' the' political gospel that all
men are born free and have equal, inalien
able rights to life, liberty, arid the pursuit
of hApuiness, were' inspired to write it at
the very time when George III. was
stirring up, by the promise of liberty,
their negro 'slaves as well as white bond
servants, to aid him in subjugating what
Be called his rebellious colonies, 'and they
used its gloriously generous generality "
if simple justice "can ever amount to'
generosity tq , make both black and
white serviles faithful to the continental '
i cause. It was a sincere, earnest vow to
God and man, that the war should result
in freedom to all, if it resulted in favor
of America ; and it put an end to the
British project of raising the slaves
niinst their masters, of which Washing
ton expressed such dread, in his letter to.
' Richard Henry'Lee, -written from Cam
bridge. By many masters arid by some
whole states the vow was kept, but by'
others it' was meanly broken. " -
So surely, does one despotism -beget
another, that before half a century went
by it became a crime' to read in the hear- '
ing of & slave the very document which
was used to persuade his poor chattel
father not to accept the liberty offered
him by Lord Dunmore death to breathe
in half the country what all the other half
and the rest of mankind knew to be true.
Slaveholders with the immortal. declara
tion" in their mouths became, the scorn
and stench of the world. ' The constitu
tion, with its received interpretation,
thej could bear well enough, -but one
sentence of the "declaration1 lrbve;
them mad they could not aifd would not .
consent to be even - constitutionally ruled
by any parry that would not virtually or
expressly pronounce it a lie.
Young men of Massachusetts, that sen
tence which has driven, thej slaveholders
and their poor white dupes into .rebellion

tifically, legally.-"There is no peace or I
