our future security and peace, there shall be
still a refusal, then he is of opinion there
5 would be no other ef1ectual remedy left us
for those evils, which would continue TO
grow from year to year, but prompt and
peaceable secession. Read this paragrapi
as follows, copied from the message Of Co..
Quitman:
f when | reflect upon the pertlmcay
t with winch the assaults upon our rights
: have been for years prosecuted, the evident
increase OF a~ntl-slavery sentiments at the
North, and the excitement there pervadng
# nearly all classes against the law to provide
for the extradltlon of fugitive slaves, | hav(
little hope left that these guarantees indis
penslDly necessary to our safety, will b.
} yielded by a majority, flushed with recen
victories, and encouraged by apparent divi
sions among ourselves. Yet. to leave n
effort at Cancellation untried, and still fut
: ther to unite with It's those of our own pec
pie, who still look for a returning sense q
justice in the North, let the proposition b
distinctly made to the people of the nur
z ~slaveholding States, to remedy the wron
. SO far as it may be in the power OF Coz
gfess to do, by obtaining from Califomi
concessions south of sc 80, or otherwise
and to consent to such amendment of Il
l Federal Constitution, as shall hereaft
amply secure the rights of The slave-holdir
\ States from misconstruction and from FL
, Their aggression. But, in the event of ref
SAL do not hesitate to- express my decid'
opinion, that the only effectual remedy
evils which must continue to grow fro
year to year, is to be found in the prom
and peaceable SECESSION of the aggriev'
1 States"
I Here is Gov. Quitmm's own plain la
, guage; it cannot be misunderstood or faar
perverted. Is there one sentiment in
that will not meet the hearty approval
| every true southerner? II, after havin
; tried every means to conciliate the northel
people, and to secure ON rights and futuI
! peace, they still refuse to listen to our lu
appeals, and continue to insult and fort
their wrongs upon us, what ought we
do? Submit and give up all that is del
and sacred to ffeemen, Oh adopt the cours
suggested by Gov. Quitman?
t Why, even Gen. Foote, who is now looi
| ed upon as a little demi-god by som anon
us, but who, not long ago, denounced on
vilified Gov. @. as the vilest, most unptihc,
, pied of all locofocos, declared, in a speec'
delivered by him in the Senate OF the uhi'e'
States, in the early part of 1850, that !.
