should make u the duty Of the then Govern
Of 10 We event OF the election Of q Black
hepubiicsn to the Preridency Of the United
States IN November, 1860, TO issue his pro.
clsmetion ordering an election for DELEGATES

would further recommend that you
shouI adopt resolutions, inviting the other
Southern states to co operate with the state
OF Mississippi, in the adoption OF such mea
sures as may be n necessary for the lnainten
ance Of their and our rights, as CO eQus
members Of the confederacy. This is all |
that, for the present, would recommend 10 |
be done. But, as the time has come OF
winch The public mind should be strongly
directed 70 the difficulties and dangers OF
our position, and the remedies for the same,
i would suggest that in my opinion, In such
sn event as the meeting OF Convention or
Congress OF the Southern states. we ought
to insist upon new constitutional guarsn-
tees for,our protection. This should be a
SINE qua NON. IL IS absolutely necessary to 4
our security. The North Will then, under
the form OF our present Constitution, have

He has much to say about Giddiups ,
