...minute, and Coach Wray followed in his single scull, coaching the men on their individual faults. L. Withington at 5 does not seem to get his shoulders on very well at the catch, and Lunt's finish is not yet satisfactory. The whole crew is inclined to tear at the water at the catch instead of dropping the oars in quickly without jerking. In spite of these slight faults, however, the crew continues to show marked improvement with every row.

So long as the North did not revolt against declining tariff duties, or insistently demand internal improvements, or try to tear down the subtreasurers and clamor for a bank, it could not be said that there was any irrepressible conflict of any industrial sort. So far, then, as hindsight avails, the Southerners in 1850 could not have seen any threat to their civilization from specific material interests in the North. It was the North...
