made by the eoossrvs.ive asmbsrs of Con-
grsss and OF the Ss0s;s, have been reject

whatever. and plainly say to the world
that they would rather see the Union divi-
dsd than gran. to the Southern States the

the penalty Of our national sins. Fanatics
North and South have sinned against the
Constitution Of our Union. ana this sin,
like all others. will be punished by the in

WIKI such evidences before us as those
Of the corruption Of The Republican party
We have no foundation for hope concern
inZths future good Of our country. We
may as we'll begin to prepare for the
dreadful consequences shat will attend a
general dissolution ofthis once happy con-
tsderacy OF States.
We individually believe that human
blood will be shed concerning this matter
before ninety days. a. the far!hes,. and We
are prepired To learn by every telegram
ths, the general government has been re-
sisted in the execution Of the Laws and that
war--civil wsr--with al It's horrors has
begun. We would like to tepe that such
viii never be the case. but ae caunot.-
Things have gon. too far already. Our
national affairs are in the hsnds OF corrupt
psrtissns and they are determined TO top
pie US lato utter ruin.
X shsre could be an appeal taken to the
people now or within few weeks. and
they would again decide IS they did
few weeks since when they elected Lincoln.
then we would feel more contentsd than
Ne now do. We believe that thousands Of
honest patriots were deceived in the late
campaign. a. 20 the practical results or
workings of the Republican, party. and
doub, not. that II they had an opportunity
aow. they would vote against the party
shOss triumph has brought on the present
state Of afsirs--ths party whose leaders
and representatives in Congress. have
shown themselves to be disunionis,s and
corrupt lying traitors. With such men to
rule over US and make our laws. we are
ruined people. and un!illhey are put down
and honest aobIs-hsartsd patriots pa; in
thsir places. We need not expect anything
good to come to " as people
