very readily The packed Convention which voted rs
out Of the Union last Nay, was all I" cut and dried

being neither consulted before nor since the passage Of
the ordinance Of Secession.

voted against Secession by 90 600 msority and
again in Nav, not only voted against dsunon the

You have heard before this yhat we have made good

oyal and true men to the Federal Congress, who will

Union Iodges which exist in every county IN the
