While the North have wsxed against few

at defiance few laws enacted under 1t,
the South haya BET the whole Is de6ance,
and We now find the nation oyerrun by q
civil war. Under tAess circumstances 1t
Is quite proper that the people sheuld IN

led to this deplorahls rasalt. Tbs Adolf

of the North, or 70 extend Southern in

both sections. The North have ses at de-
iance the laws enacted under the oonsti-
tuition for the benefit and protection Of
the people Oh the South in the peaceabie
possession and speedy recovery OF their
property escaping into Northern States.
They hold too, that there id . "higheE law'
than the Constitution, which is to guide
and direct their actions in regard 10 GER
tain rights guaranteed BY that instrument
TO the people of she South. These as
sumptions Of Eighs, power and authority,
and these violations Of the Constitution
and laws Of the United States, by the peo-
, pie Of the North, Is the original cause Of
, the rebellion nov existing, and this re-
bellion will never end, while the NORTH
