as may be practicable within the pale Of
the Constitution. those individuals or
States even, who have taken it upon
themselves to exercise principle and
doctrine at war with all government, With
all association-polirical moral and re-
ligious. Applauss. mean The doc.
trine of Secession, which is neither more

conflict with all organized government,
with everything that tends to preserve
law and order in the United S'atps, or
wherever else the odious and abominabe
doctrine mag be attempted 10 be- exfr-

cession as coming in conflict with all or
