ton Let the people Of the South contemplate seriously
the enormy Of wickedness and atrocty which it in
voves and let them wake up the sad and astounding
reality that this administration has no sympathy Tor
their cause their rights that, in its desperate schemes
for power, it is ready to excite them to acts OF hostility
against the Union If possible and then to put them down

and there are uer interpreters Of human motives than

let the question be by all settled and thus prevent
unscrupulous and fallen politicians from saving them
selves by destroying their country, making upon
any part OF their countymen. That is not the way to
settle controversies nor to save the Union.
