for defence by sea and land, the resources
for maintaining the Southern army and
navy and the method Of providing the
necessary revenue for their support aud '1e
for other purposes would form the subject
of long debates in the Convention which
should meet to form q Constitution or
plan of union for the supposed Southern
Republic. We may rest assufed that the
several States would not cede OF lend to
the new federal government any larger
share Of their sovereign powers than what
they have granted to the present general
government g
On the hypothesis which we have q as.
sumed it will be the abuse Of federal
power by tyrannical majority which
will have driven them tusecession. They
will naturally, therefore, try to- guard
against suchsabuse in their new union
which is only possible BY restricting it's
powers within narrower limits. Hence
the new government will be weaker than
Lifts predecessor; add to the influence OF
| this weakness of the new federal bond
the force Of the example Of secession
which will have been already set and we
. (. R.1y
will find them productive ola great ten
dency to a new dissolution. Permanent
identity of interests or else constant
! and imminent common danger alone ap-
pears sufficient to render the new union
lstable.
The foregoing are but brief and cnrsory
suggestions Of a very few Of the elements
which will enter into the great and com
plicated new governmental problem. L
requires sagacity and prescience seldom
vouchsafed to men to penetrate the future
which dissolution will open to the SOY.
1ereign States Of this eonfederacy. # wise
we will mol take counsel from our fears
nor allow falIacious hopes to deceive us
| What. is right we may do boldly and dc
safely. We cannot afford to submit t.
4 injustice from an oppressive majority
/ power welding the federal government
A.it were better for us all to be slaingin the
attempt to maintain our honor than t
Asurvive the disgrace Of becoming the vas
sails, retainers and stenants-at-will Of ;
4 central tyranny controlled by our aboli
Zionist enemies. b
i I'VE trust that all citizens Of Louisiant
/ SO value her inalienable sovereignaright
and so cherish her honor that they vii
T not hesitate to annul the bonds which ba'
men ruling a factious, fanatieal, seetiona

of our State, just soisoon as remaining Z 7
