It concludes with a ringing peroration:<BR><BR> “We have shown unmistakably who commenced the war. It must be apparent to all that the Government has thus far a decided and preponderating advantage. The end cannot be doubtful. They who violated the Divine Law have incurred the penalty, and will inevitably meet the allotted punishment. They who took the sword are perishing by the sword.”
