who destined to live with US as neighbors friends
and relatives and without whom il is impossible 10 fulfil
the conditions of our duty and happiness whether

quarter that serious aggessons have been threatened
against that and all the other States of the South and

evident that single member of confederacy OF States
existing like ours can claim the right to redress those
wrongs in amanne which will and nure her asso-

means most appropriate to the ends Of just retaliation and
future security On the supposon that the disruption of

notification and who have moderated the noble
feelings out of which that doctrine arose, less sign

OF that sensibty which repss aggression and sgnalizes
the vigilance which guards against those silent innova-

other republics We trust, indeed. that this welcome will
be universal and tina, all portions of our country will re-

the other sovereign members of confedeacy in the
support OF measures that will remove existing evils by
cons titutona meanr and close the avenue to their re-
currence by increased energy in observing the maxms
and policy OF the early fathers Of the republic. Such
