II consider my proposition-the one with which
commence my speech--now made good, namely, tina
the resolutions of the General Assembly of which
complain are copied from those of Mr. Calhoun-that
to understand their design you must understand his
ldeSign-and that, from the words of his own resou-
ton and from his conduct for twenty years past, the
subverson of the Union is intended. =. In the execu-
ton of this design cannot be an instrument, nor can
believe that the people the of the General
Assembly wish its and deem it right to have full
understanding with my constituents on the whole
therefore appeal from the instructions have
eeived because they in conictwith instructions
already received and obeyed-because they did not
emanate from any known desire or understood will
of the peopebecause they contain unconstitutional
expositions of the constitution which am sworn to
support-because they require me to promote dsun-
ionbecause they pledge the State to cooperate with
other States in eventual civil warbecause they are
copied from resolutions Matched for great mischief,
which l have right to oppose, and did oppose
in my place of senator in the Senate of the United
States, and which 1 cannot cease opposing without
personal disgrace and official dereiction of public

let them GO, 1t so happens that there few
citizens in this State successors to others who have
passed away, and who are denomiuated, in the Ac-
comac resolutions, adjuncts to Mr. Calhoun. The
denomination is approprate: Adjunct (English) is
from Gd and unctus, Latin, and signifies joined to

body, ith respect to their southern leader. These
few are in state of permanent conspiracy against
me- either their account or thatof their lead
ing friend at the South, or both, and hatch per-
-petual- succession plots against me. To GO no
farther back, refer to the summer of 1874 and the
plot on the Texas annexation Question, which will
call the ewsharp plot, in consideration of the music
which was to be then made upon that instrument,
and to discriminate itsfram others: That plot show
