slave States that dsunion essential and the

direct the Governor to open negotiation forthwith with
those States upon the matter. When he has obtained
the result of that negotiation let the Convention be as

Convention trusting to God and right declare South

In the meantime the Legislature should reorganizc

regular training supply the State with all necessary
and most approved means and munitions of war; Yes,
