The Weakness of the Union Cause.—Gov. Andrew, of Massachusetts, is reported to have said:

“I have never believed it to be possible that this controversy should end, and peace resume her sway, till the dreadful iniquity of human bondage had been trodden beneath our feet. I believe it cannot, and I have noticed, my friends—although I am not superstitious I believe—that, from the day that our Government turned its back upon the proclamation of Gen. Hunter, the blessing of God has been withdrawn from our arms. We were marching on, conquering and to conquer; post after post had fallen before our victorious arms; but since that day I have seen no such victories.”
