It is unnecessary 10 trace the matter farther, e. to ask what would have been the next chapter in this history, if the measures recommended had been carri- ed into effect, and if, with the men and money of New England withheld from the government of the United States, she had been withdrawn from the war; l; i if New Orleans had falleninto the hands of the enemy; and if, without troops, and almost destitute of money, the Southern and Western States had been thrown upon their own resources for the prosecution of the war, and the reeoVe- ry of New Orleans? Sir, whatever may have been the issue of the contest, the Union must have been dissolved, But a wise and just Providence, which 's shapes our ends, rough-hew them as we wil,'' gave us the victory, nda crown ed our efforts with a glorious peace.
