In that address they sought to make the enemies of the Government the innocent party, and, with an amazing affront to the common sense of their people and mankind, after saying, the red glare of battle kindled at Sumter dissipated all hopes of peace, and the two Governments were arrayed in hostility against each other --an act originating wholly with the Conspirators — they said, We charge the responsibility of this war on the United States. . . . The war in which we are engaged was wickedly, and against all our protests, and the most earnest efforts to the contrary, forced upon us.
