dition of the country, on motion of DR.. X.

reported the following, preamble and Reso-
buttons:
Whereas, I'm our judgment, the recent
Presidential election, resulting as it has in
the election of the Black Republican candi-
date, and the emphatic endorsement OF a
platform of principles, by every Northern
State, in violent opposition TO Southern In
terest, and Southern institutions, affording
abundant proof, that the several States of
this Union, cannot long live together IN
peace. Self preservation and absolute du-
ty we owe TO our homes. and tre-sides de-
mands that We should look to our Constitu-
tional privileges for security and safety,
instead df to the will Of the majority of the
people of these United States, which has
been expressed under false teachings and
in the face of the Constitution Of the same.
Therefore,
Resolred, That we earnestly recommend
His Excellency, the Governor Of the State,
Immediately to take such steps as he may
be authorized TO ascertain the will Of the

there is now complete line of railway from
New Orleans to Bangor, Maine-being 1894
miles in length, and having cost S92, ,Ts4 ,OS4.-
The Pacific railroad will not be so long as this,
nor will it cost greater sum. Why, then,
should it be deemed impractcable?
