These opinions perfectly correct and deserving of all

For these effects be produced there difference OF

Yet with such general action of the Northern people,
inued and increasing in strength from year year and
with such obvious results impendingwe OF the South still
continue argue and cite law authorities for our rights
and offer proofs of their violation before tribunal and
power which fully determined TO persist in the wrongful
course without regarding constitutional other compacts
any more than the claims OF justice or good faith!
The present most pressing bearing of the question is the
admission OF California State of the Union However
much there may be to object to the Illegal wrongful and
fraudulent manner in which this claim has been brought up
however little of rgh claim there is any score for Cali

for the Unsuitable gaspng disposition OF the North TO make
every possible occupation OF Southern territory for ree

of that line includes space still much too large for any
one State also all the known gold region and nearly all

como into the Union larger and richer State than any
