the North upon the South, carried on in the same
fell spirit that has characterized it in years past,
is wanton outrage on the Southern portion of
our Union, and we'll calculated to destroy the
bond Of sympathy and friendly spirit that alone
can or ought to unite us as common people.

Banner of the Union of these States, which have
been cemented by the blood and treasure Of our
common ancestry.
Resolved, That we are opposed to dissolution
Of the Union, and If the President elect should
violate the Constitution which he swears to sup
port and protect, or commits any act of treason
against the rights Of the South, then the Senate

to inpeach and i1url him from his exalted seat of
power. And we believe the intelligence of the
people in their second sober thought will sustain
such action by an, overwhslnins majority

of our hearts to the noble and true hearted men
Of the North, who, in the late struggle, fought so
CALAMITY against this sectional candidate.

surrender the Union, yet, at the same time, we
do not wish it inferred that we do not know our
rights, and intend to maintain them even al the
lannon's mouth and at the very door of the Ma
tional Caption, but fighting if fight we must, IN.
der the stars and stripes that waived upon The
battleinents at Bunker's Hill and other nlemora.
BILE places in the Revolutionary struggle, which
gained our Independence.

quested to offer aresolution In Congress to call
