men OF tBe UorueI CtatcS tusu they hs'e
been in him. If mere prosecution Of cg'
ercion insugurates eiril war, ihess border
States tho last TO plunge into the fght,
while the last 10 get out Of Il. The Presi-
dent st Washington can't plead his duty
to execute law. for he Is net exeeu-
ting law. The Government Of MsHf-
gomery is Goyernmsnt De taets. Ne
laws Of the Un,tAd Utates 10 enforced with.
in its limits. The people Of the other
States are subjected 10 the duties on i'm
ports which they impose, and have No pre-
lection against them. There are no Federal
Courts in those States. The only point
made is that Of holding few forts. Aiter
all else is given up, is there any point Of
honor, even. in holding .hess forts? When
civil war can be avoided by the saerifsss
of the little lett, why is it 10 be held.
We have no defense or apology for thcss
in the South who have inaugurated this
strife. They have no claim for sympathy
from the border States; for they have sparn-
ed our advice and begun war whish thsy
might have avoided: but Lincoln & Co..
have still les, claim TO our support,
That party of which he is the repressn-
tative, wss formed in one section Of the u
nion. They ignored and defied the South.
No more slave territory and no more slave
states, has been their motto. The worse
,hsyicouId do and say against slavery and
shareholders has been toe good in their es-
timation. They strusglsd for the power
of the Fsderal Government, snl obtained
by accident one branch OF it. They, Of
course liks all parties, aim at pefpetusl
domination and their purpose is 10 carry
out their policy. This is their POSITION
1t is impossible for slave States to do 9TH
erwiss than resist such domination Ths
extreme South accepted their challenge i'm
piled for their success, and adopted their
own way to resist. Mr.. Lincoln and his
friends have no right to complain. These
rebels, as they sre called, only met the Dc.
fance thrown out with de6anee.
We, Of the border slave States, have
right to complain Of the extreme South
They deserted 10 in the contest for equal
rights in the Union, when We had every
advantage in the contest If they had stood
TO their post. They have let US exposed
by the dssertion, and broush. on civil war
where all is a, hazard. 1t is a matter Of
calculation and of interests with Us. We
can't sfford TO allow the subjugation Of those
Southern States, I, may be our turn next.
1t cannot be expected that one section Of
the Union can govern the ether at ifs disc
crstion. The effort to do II is incompatible
with the idea Of free government.
And this Republican party that has pls-
ced Mr.. Lincoln in power, can make the
less excuse for their zeal for the Unisn.
II they adhere to the resolutions Of no more
slave States, why are they SO zsslous for
Union with slave States, tha. ihsy will in
augurats civil war to maintain il. They
labored hard to keep several Of these slave
State out Of the Union, and resolved ss
part Of their religion, 10 have no more; the
world would judge that they would be glad
to get rid Of the slave States they had. in.
stead Of engaging in war to retain them
We do not believe that the Northern
States will respond 10 this call. We shall
wait to see ii they do. We kaow that
there is DisuDion party IN the Free States
and there are others stimulated BY party
pride 10 engage in this suicidsl policy
Men of the North, if you really love this
Union, we call on you to show your dissp-
probation ofthis fratrieidal waf. Ifit gees
on all hopes OF the Union are over. we
know that millions Of the North sannos
sympa,hizewi,h this invocation to civil war
Let them resist this call for blood II they
want this Union 10 remain.
The berder slave Ststes are for The u
nion; II 10 their interest and their patriotic
desire. They have stood alone in this pa
triotic desire; at last they have had no aid
so far. The administration has ignored
their earnest advice, and the cotton States
have been ergsr for these Border States to
Join them IN the contest. Let us stand alone
re,ouie assinst Coercion and Sseession.-
Let no hostile armies, bent on shedding fra.
tersal blsod, pass over their soil. Let these
two hostile powers ssrnsin on their own
sides of ihe line, We shall not entertain
the idea that this Union cannot be restored.
We may see darker hours than these. but
the object il worth the ~ snd e 10
ali .ek fighting for. ws1 we Cow
