ihe Undersigned, citizens of the Southern States,
accf1ehtaly assembled at the White Sulphur
Spfngs, have read with much surprise the speech
of Judge Douglas recently delivered at Norfolk and
being many of them too remote from their homes to
IakF part IN any pubic expression Of opinion there,
defn 1t due to themselves to make known in this
mshner their dissent from its doctrines
# tl this address Mr. Douglas declares that if the
Southern States mot part, but alb shall secede
from the Union. upon the inaug ration of Abraham
Lacon, it will be the duty Of the President of the
UIfted States, who, In the case supposed Will be
lllcoln, by arms to punish or subdue them, and
tbf he will counsel him to do so, ard aid him to
d,o ko by all the means in his power.
kow, as there is a large party at the North avow
the most lmplacable hostility to the institutions
y the South, whose candidate for the Presidency is
Rr.| .ncoin this declaration of Mr.. Douglas is in
etSt-thst the election of to the Presiden-
cv of the United States BY the votes ;oi1e Of one
section, who is pledged to all the powers of the
Government for the destruction Of the rights and
property Of the other section, would not justify the
weaker III reslstance but that if in such event. the
fifteen Southern States should assume to determine
on The extent of their danger, and to quietly with
draw from it. he shoul! regard their action as re-
vok al as such to be punished with all the force
of rhc Government. Than this conceive of
no doctrine more dangerous to the South. 1t con-
fouls resistance to established law by individuals
which it would be the duty of the Chief Magistrate
to punish, with the peaceable secession of States
f.oln compact no longer consistent with the in
tefSt existence of its constituents but it treats
the Union as a perpetual bond, exacting uncond-
tiorn submission, forever, from weaker to stron-
ger section. 1t strips the States of the chief attr
bue of sovereignty, to wit: The right to deter
miIc, when their existence is put to hazard to
the means necessary to their preservation and af
firms that, while it is legitimate in the people Of
the North, having control Of the general Govern
ment through it, to i2tict upon the States Of the
Sou h whatever wrongs it may he consistent with
Their interest feelings to impose, it would be trea-
son in the people of the South to obey the orders
of tleir States in opposition to Federal authority
Fralght with this doctrine is subver-
! sive of that constitutional theory in which alone
the rights Of the States to be found it has, at
this moment, and under the circumstances bloody
| Significance. The enemies of the South in the
NOltheID States have Srlcct"t, Abraham Lincoln to
lead them in the ''irrepres>ible conflict which he
| has proclaimed. Mr. Seward, the most distinguish
ed Counsellor of Mr.. Lincoln, declares at Boston
thl the election of Lincoln is sure that with it
the power Of slavery will end, and that the IRE
pres~ible conflict Will be pressed to its Infamous
| ant bloody close.
| At such moment the proclamation Of such SEN
tinpnts by Judge Douglas Coming Immediately af
| ter Stewards Boston speeCh,) uttered here at the
South, and addressed to the citizens of State
whose Executive declared to Gen Jackson that
Federal troops should only her borders over
the bodies of her sons-by man from the North,
from the neighborhood of Lincoln himself Il candi-
date for the Presidency, volunteering his counsel
Lincoln, and in the event Of his election his aid to
war upon our people and to slay them in Dat.
if they shall render obedience to Sta rather than
Federal authority-is repugnant to every sense of
right and merits from the people of the South the
seyerest rebuke Such a re bukc we sincerely hope,
Will be given the doctrines and its author at the
November elections.
