Cost Of The War To The United States.

We should, however, take a most erroneous and limited view of the cost of this war ta the United States, were we to confine our estimates to the millions which have been expended in its prosecution, or to the personal suf- ferings it has occasioned. Before we can sum up the total cost, we must add to the blood, the groans, the* treasure, we Have bartered for victory and conquest, the pohtical and moral evils the war has bequeathed to the nation—e^dls as extensive as the bounds of the Repubhc, and whose effects upon the happiness of mdividuals will continue to be felt when time shall be no more.
