The Hartford (Connecticut) Daily Commercial, editorializing on the apparently completed secessionist movement argues,
Public opinion in the North seems to be gradually settling down in favor of the recognition of the [n]ew Confederacy by the [f]ederal [g]overnment. … from a voluntary one, in which the people are sovereigns, to a despotism where one part of the people are slaves. Such is the logical deduction from the policy of the advocates of force.
