from the acts Of injustice which have
been perpetrated by the pdominant

the course of systematic and organ
lzed aggression. on the rights of the

sued by the Northern States of this
Union, that there is a fixed and un-
alterable determination on the part
/. oil those States TO rob us. OF our po-
'lltical rights and to despoil of our
domestic institutions; and, believing,

I;session and even preservation has
become incompatible with our pres
lentrelations to the existing Confed-
5ieracy, and having been forced to the
