This being the case, all tl.asp ofqr friends
who are opposed to the separate lction OF
South Carolina, under the presen or any
circumstances, will not be- rrevnted by1
such opposition from voting for tlpse gen /

Congress. For their aim and fulction in
that body will be confined solely procur.
ing an understanding of co.opsa;ion ~

to Federal aggression, by united secession.
Such understanding will have to lpratfed
by each State separately, which vii be By
their acts Of secession. Let not misun.
