WAsnINGroN. Dec. l5.--Tle following is re-
liable copy of the Southern address:
TO ouR CoNSTITUENrs: The argument is cX-
haustcd: all hope Of relief in the Union, through
the agency of Committees Congressional lcgisla-
ton, or Constitutional amendment, is cX;inguiSh-
cd and we trust the South will not be deceived
by appearances on prccncc, or guarantees. In
our Judgment the Republicans arc rcsouc in
their purpose to grant nothing that will on ought
to satisfy the South. We satisfied that the
honor, safety and dependence of the Southern
Confcdcracy--a result to be obtained only by
separate State secession; and that the primary
object of each snvcholding State ought to be its
speedy and absolute separation from CniCn with
hostile States.
