I protection Of tho tonfederated states from
enemies without and from enemies within,
alone were given All others were retained

| When from 1870 to 1776 the Government
of Britain was leyying war OF restrictio,
upon Boston and the north, no narrow reel.
! ing, no unworthy suspicious, no sectioha.s .
iealousies were liarborcd in the bosoms OF
the men Of the South, but, with one voice,
and with simultaneous impulse, from VAR
pinia to Georgia, they united their fate with
their colonial brethren. When from 1901
/ To 1911. the mighty powers OF France and
/ England, III all things else hostile to each
other. combined to drive from the seas OF
the world the ships and the commerce OF the
Northern states, the men of the south did not
meanlv stoop to calculate the cost, but re-
solving that the wrongs of a part were the
wrongs of the whole American family, pro-
claimed defiance to both, and conquered,
and won, on tho mountain wave, and III the
marshes ofthc west, the freedom OF the trade
of the world.
These arc the feelings we brought into
the confederacv; with these we shall leave
it, if unprncipled men prosper in the unho-
" work of oftlcmolishing the noble, the august
! the splendid fabric of our Union.
The States of the South will convey the
products Of a fertile soil and genial cline 10
the markets OF the world. The world VIII
open wide its arms to receive them. Ley our
Northern brethren, then, il there is no peace
in Union, il the compact has become TOO
heavy to be longer borne, III the name OF all
the mercies, find peace among themselves:

elvsium. while they depict all South of the
Potomac as hideously reverse. As Athens,
as Sparta, as Rome was, VIC will be: they
held slaves, we hold them. Let the North
then form national roads for themselves. let
them guard with Tariffs their own interest,
let them deepen their public debt until an
high minded arist1cracy shall arise out OF II
We want nouc OF all these blessings.
But in the simplicity Of the patilarcha
government, we would still remain nastci
and servant under our own vine, and nnl
