The Southern Confederaey,a paper pub.
lished at Atlanta, Ca, In announcing the
passage OF the secession ordinance by The
Convention Of that State, accompanies it
with the following commentary:
Posterity will regard the act a. wanting
In statesmanship, and tho greatest folly ever
committed by great and prosperous peo-
pie. But undue prosperity begets luxury
ani restiessness, and grave deeds are often
committed without reflection or reason
Posterlsy will censure the act Of secession.
Ior the reason that the seeding States, in
their several Conventions, N de no demands
Ior me redress o. grievances, but madiy-
yea, bhndly-rrecipitated q revolution. To
stand justified in the eve OF the future. and
before the scrutiny OF civilization, We should
Demand redress In Convention Of al the
States.
