Twill tell you, men of the North, how our position
would be betteed, and in what your would be worsed
BY dissolution Of the tie that untes My re-

toon find itself btuered by dissolution-we firmly be-
ously worsted. As to national position, neither OF
the new Republics would rank above third
rate natiots Both would be contemplate, and
treated with contempt at the pleasure OF the great
Powers But tie Southern Republic would be the safer
of tie two. For we think, men Of the North, that
when we become distinct sovereign States, neighbor-

Southern section will be- much more respected by you,
and safer from mOlestation, under the comfy OF ma

We suspect that you i'll understand and respect the
Law If Nations better than statute and constitutional
law There seems be diosyncratc inability your

our benefit. You nullify and contemn them at WILL
and We have no efficient remedy. The obligations OF

how TO quicken it, and make it sufficient TO the

States Of the same Confederacy have ceased and we
have becon ndeI endent neghborng nations, you fail
