we protest against being stipmatizad Snop
the condition, in religious aspect. to
which we have been reduced bv thn ;rgnonoSI G "
this party. The history of the past few rnontbs
has no promise in it for better things Ire onn
tiOn has lately met, but it retraced no sto ~
| adopted the same revolutionary platforms ~
placed upon it a candidate well known for HI. u w
| treme opinions. Such is the character of the Pa
publican party which now controls the North, such
is the spirit it has enkindled and such some of the
it has consummated; and vet the South is
| silent. We dc not believe her silence has been
indifference. 10 is not that she values her rights
less, or is unaware ufther invasion that the Sontb
has been inactive. Controlled by a disposition to
allay strife, rather than increase it. she has heen
content to rest her claims upon their merit and
trust to returning sense of Justice on the mart of
the north, to have them recognized But forbear-
ancc and concession cease to be duties. when tbey
are followed only by renewed encroachment: with
an honorable people there must be some MONT
where the dutY OF patience is succeeded by anotb
| er, ana where encroachment must cease. We be-
| lieve that the time has come when the Snutbern
States, II they value their rights must show some
, disposition to maintain them; not passonatey but
with that irmness which rests upon r, Election and
! conviction. They surely are under some obliga-
tiOn to preserve the integrity of the G. institution
! and when its Infringement is visited unon tbao
| selves, they rest under a double duty We know
| there some who favor sill further inactivity.

There are but few Of our citi1ans r-ho roo;
their intimate individual connocI; ih 4IH ia~e
ernment. Men think that thev have notbin1 ~
do, and that the government can tai-o cnro ~
| itself. They mistake the mere macbinnr, f"r tb
government, and are slow to realize the fact tbat
every man is moving power in the system and
that times NAV come when individual action Is no.
cessary. They so separate the Government and
themselves as to lose sight of the fact that If is
! the people who give to it its character influence
| and support. The true relations between tbe two
| are not brought home tn nur ctizans opd tboro
fore, they do not appreciate the necessity and ro
| sponsbilitv of individual action But If is unon
this truthful theory of relations that yva now aL
for associations of individuals for the nnrnose of
sustaining the principles of Our government And
if there be any cause for ORGANIZATION we cannot
be fairly met by shrinking from resnonsibitv
or by the indifferent comment that nothing can be
accomplished. We believe that much NAV be ac-
cGmpShed. The first step which we wish to
secure is the enrolment of the friends of Southern
Rights. Without concert of purpose and action
any effort would be nearly fruitless and therefore
we wish TO add the strength of union to our re-
sources Let the measures be what they NAV upou
which we would act in no way can they be so we'll
and so securely accomplished as by organization
Let all join hands together and half the difficulty
we believe, will have been overcome already Future
emergency must determine future action In that
we expect to be guided by such interchanre of
views and counsels a. when necessary will succeed
organization On our own responsibilitv after we
have made permanent our own association we
propose to deal with public sentiment This is
bar to which the South relying simply upon the
power of truth to vindlcate itself has been indifer
ent But while error has been abroad throuoh
the land, truth, though free to combat it. has been
inactive, Satisfied in her own mind that the basis
of right, upon which the institution of slavery
rests, was impregnable the South has been indif-
erent to the convictions of otbers-whiIe in the
North have been formed hostile oroani7otions
