on every question that could divide fellow men, to

Seven States If this mon chose 10 declare that they
will 10 longer obey the behes, OF tlo United States,
that they will withdraw from the Government es'ab-
sLed bv our fa,hers that they will dissolye, without
onr consent the bonds that have united us together.
Bot not content with that they proceed to invade and
obstruct our dearest and most inaenable nights sc
cured hy the Constitution. One OF their inst acts is
TO establish battery of cannon upon the banks OF the
M.sissipr on the dividing line between the States of
Mississippi and Tennessee, an require every steamer
that pssos down the river TO come to under gun, TO
receive custou-house officer on board, TO prescribe
where the boat may land and upon what terms 1t may
mt out "A barrel OF iOHr cask Of bacon-upon the
liver and upon the borders Of these States to cut of
our freedom Of trade.
We are called upon to sanction this policy. Before
cousennc to their night to commit such acts, impore
Won TO consider tha. the principle which viii al
low the Cotton States exclude from the ports OF
the Gulf would authorize the New-Engand States
and Newly Ork and Pennsy lyanla TO exclude VA from
The Atlantic and tie Pacific States TO exclude from
the ports of that Whenever you sanction TINS
doctrine of Secession you authorize the States border
inc mon the Atlantic and Pacific 10 withdraw
from ns form alliances among thenselyes and exclude
us from tho markets OF the world and from oOmmun
cation with all the res Of Chrisendom Not only this
but there follows tariff on imports, levylng OF taxes
uton every pound oi tea, and coffee and sugar, and
every ward OF cloth that may import for our con-
.umrtion; the levyinr too OF an export du'y upon
every bnrho If ana every pound oi meat we may
choose to scnd to the markets OF the world 10 pay for
oar imports.
Bear in mind tta, these very Cotton States, who in |
former times have been bol-terons IN thcr demands
for free trade have among thor hrst acts established
nn export duty cotton for The Inst tine IN American
history.
Ii II historical fact, well known TO every who |
has read the debate Of the Convention which framed
the Constitution, that the southern States refused 10
become parties TO the Constitution unless there was an
express provision in the Constitution prohibiting Con-
gress to levy an export duty on any product OF the |
equh. No soOner have these Cotton States seeded 4
than an export duty levied and II they Will levy
on their cotton, do you not think they viii levy on
our pork and our beef, aud corn, and wheat,
and our manufactured articles and all have 10 sell
Then what is the proposition II is enable the tier
Of States bordering the Atlantic and the facic, and
on the Gulf surrounding OH all sides, to withdraw
from our Union-fom alliance among themselves and
then levy taxes on withou, consent and collect
revenue without giving any just proportion or part
of all the amount collected. Can submit 70 taxa

citizens of Illinois ask every citizen IN the great

! warn you, my countrymen, whenever yon permit
this 10 be done In the Southern States, New-lorh VIII |
very follow their example. Acw-lork, that
great port, where two-hrds OF all our revenue IL
collected and whence two-thirds of onr goods are
exported will no, long be able TO ess the temptation
Of taxing fifteen millions OF people In the great West

own people thereby from any taxation wias@rer.
Hence i say TO yOu, my cOuntrymen, from the best
