an answer to the question What viii You Do" as
propOunded by the Secessionsts, observes:
There are plenty Of people ready to say secede; any
number that think secession is the only remedy for all
the ills We suffer in this government whether naturally
resulting from the action of the Government which zoe
Of the South have almost universally controlled it,

yidual States and the citizen thereof But we want to
kuoN-aud suppose thinking people generally
somewhat inQuisiiiye the pont-what Georgia is to
do after she secedes Is she to go blind or is she first
to mature some plan Of action for herself suited to any
and all emergencies which may arise and prepare herself
thoroughly for whatever may happeny Is she Just to
herself adrii from her sister States and mot put too
