HOW - THE UNION TO BE PREsERvEDY


The venerable editors OF the nege,cer treat lightly
the honest expressions Of the South indicating the signs
Of the times With their knowledge Of the history Of the
constitution in Its germ and when It's tiny leaf
lets the weight Of tear dropped by angel Of mercy
might have bent and inclined II towards justice and equity
TO be nourshed and guided during the growth and
sion Of fostering branches the North and the South
as though protect noble spirits from the chilling blasts
ofdsorganzers the scorchng whitening heat of treason
they should have given the arguments made OF
ish this noble tree in s growth that the unniated might
understand and believe To caution Is the duty Of pub
lie guardian the press claims be the guardian and pro-
tector of the peoples rights He who Is knowingly remiss
in bis duty has his conscience TO quiet II ia that
the South is willing receive abolition President
who has been found willing TO accept the terms Of
the abolitoniss and carry out their views Is hon
in the South TO declare the improperly TO them of
knowledgng such President in the event OF bis being
elected Would they not be censured II they neglected
to demonstrate against the possibility Of OBJ
noxous them IL deferred TO the last moment 10
main silent apparently acquiescing, knowing the impos
biity Of their receiving President who by adopting the
views and creed of the sboionsts bad declared him
self traitor to his country and guilty Of treason the tool
on party similarly situated How could such Of
things exist 2Amercaps under the authority Of the
stuiion electng and inauguratng individual Pres
iden (whose first oath is to support the constitution
when the declared purpose Of the election is to destroy IL
and dissolve the Union
Is II not an ncongruiy Does the constitution
ton the mode OF elecng whose avowed object as
boldly declared Is 10 destroy that instrument and claim
the act as the conquest Of the southern States Why
then il the South accused Of croakipg Have such
strous and garing attempts, made TO wrong
the South before been declared openly organized
Is she not defending her sanctioned and guaranteed rights
and boldly declaring that she will not submit to the out
Has she not that reserved right OF sefpresevaon
and is she not true TO herself when he declares openly that
che viii defend them What phase has been pre-
sented Justify the dsunonss in their efforts to destroy
the noble compact Are the Of the present day
wiser and just than those Of the days that produced
our glorious constitution They, in framing II urged
every point and argument that might possibly hereafter
produce contention and arranged and accommodated the
peculiar local advantages Of each division of the extensive
territory TO be governed embracing variety Of climate and
soil with their necessary peculiar advantages We win
abide the election Of the people according TO the oopsu
ton We do not object to parties party strife IL gives
vigor and health TO the nation parties mutually, though
their objects may DO different guard and control efforts to
monopolrspo which would infringe the reserved rights
