What then is her object? Why is she

upon which the mind of the entire nation

The cause OF the Impending crash IN
monetary matters and the now almost
certain disruption Of this fair Union lays
not In any mercenary or dishonest de-
size to detraud creditors out of their
honest dues. The leading men of the
agltatcd States-the masses, also, have
come to the conclusion that the right.
guaranteed to them bv the Constitution
are swept away; that those rights, to sc
cure which, Southern blood was poure,
out like water, are no longer their hcri
tsge, nor the heritage Of their children
This Is why steps are being taken to es
tabl!sh Southern Contederacy.
The result of this step is already be
