taw Nation, in recent session, after they
were addressed by their Chief in warm
and able Southern rights speech, passed
resolutions embodying the principal senti-
ments of the address, and virtually adopt
ing secession. The resolutions regret the
disturbances of the country, and hope the
Union will be preserved; but one of them
contains this plain and emphatic declara-

permanent dissolution of the American
Union takes place, our many relations with
the General Government must cease, and
we shall be left to follow the natural affec-
tions, education, institutions and interests
of our people, which indissolubly bind us
in every way to the destiny Of our neigh
bors and brethren of the Southern States,
upon whom we are confident we can rely
for the preservation of our rights, of life,
liberty and property, and the continuance
of many acts of friendship, general counsel
and fraternal support.

of War.
