We lost nothing but slavery. ‘I'ne people in the south bet on the wrong card and lost. [Cheers.| Now they are betkng on another card. ‘They consented to the amendments to the constiiution as a concession for not being otherwise punished, and they came back into the union with a five- fifths vote for their representation in con- gress instead of three-fifths.
