sidersuou VI the character Of the ndiqdual presiding
over siis meeting should weigh in the momentous
question we have met TO discuss and consult upon.
The election Of sectional President by sectional
party Of one section Of country was not TIE great
grievance Of which we have to complainant was ths
organization OF sectional party a, the North un-

Should the election OF a sectional President Euify
the progress Of country like ours, country whose
progress s without parallel in histoyl With the
election OF single man what have we 10 feaIi IA
voice, "Eyerything.l say we have great deal to
fear If we fail TO do our duty. But we have nothing
to fear If we are true to ourselves and to country
If we are aetuaed by the sentiments thst filed

strong minority of friends In the Free Statesn array
sympathizers and allies Who have gaantly fought o1r
batles, and now stand IN the breach with us.
