the equality Of the States and the preservation
of the Union, unite on Breckenridge Is
the only way to defeat Lincoln and elect q
sound national man. Bell and Everett may
possibly get one or two States but they are
certain of none. Then, in the name. of high
Heaven, why will the south throw away her
votes and influence by war upon herself from
which nothing but disaster can result? The
course to be pursued by the South is SO plain.
