we shall demand will be effected with
The concurrence ofthe men ut the South
who are loya! and conservative. Sothe

parts Of the Union and our !ellow-cItl-

very respectable minority, and n grow

fellow citlzons, we believe That
a newer and broader era has been NJ
augurated for this Government by the

How does that CRATE upon the South
ora car? BY our troth, that makes rs
feel like union with such fanatics is not
so palatablc after all. That "logIc OF
events" seems like n death kncll, and
will ring in our ears as long as the
Union continues. Yet, paradozical as
/, may seem, we want tho Union to
cuutinuc-n0t as II is, but us the Con
s,itution says 1t should be. For the
Union thus we'd fight t, death. But
it does seem like folly to hope for 1t
thus. Itseoms like folly to believe that
the Black Republican party Will yield
NJ the very principles they came int
powcr on. They'll never do it-ncYer.
II ia lett with US to submit to such if
we stay in the Union, and we verify
feel tempted to close by saying, "ho1
Justice be done though the world per-
ish."
But we arc opposed to precIp''a'c
action. 1t would tend to defeat the
very ends we aim ut. We have always
held that the safety and power Of the
South rested in united action amor 6
her whole people. 1t ha' been the
want Of that unity that has permitted
