decisive counsels and actions to prevent the evil of
action producing the only danger we
now see OF such separation as must occasion an
interruption of trade between the sections There

credits, or depreciation in money except the un.

other Northern slavehOlding States allowing this
matter OF protecting property against sectional
Government to be entirely managed by few States.

only method of producing disturbance or serious
injury to private fortunes in this State is for Vr
gnia to hold aloof, and leave the States farther
South to manage this affair alone"
