ry and alone these gallant sons of the South
barred their breasts to the storm and dared to
maintain by their voices and their votes, in the
face of on overwhelming majority, the honor,
the rights and the liberties of the Southern
people. Bravely and manfulIy have they stood
by the Constitution-bravely and manfully bat.
tied tor the doctrine of non.intervention. They
alone of all our members of Congress could
neither be bought frightened, or fooled into a
betrayal of Southern Rights To them all
honor is due. We do believe that the good and
the true, the noble and the brave, throughout
the length and breadth of the South with one
voice and one accord, will ratify and sustain the
disintercsted and manly course of John A. Quit.
man of Mississippi, and NJ. L. Bonham of South
Carolina.

And moveless may the arm be that would not
