the remedy ? / answer secession-unite,
secession OF the slaveholding States or
large number OF them.
Nothing else will be wise-notLing els,
will be practicable. The Rubicon is pass
ed. The Union IS already dissoiped. In
stead Of wishing the perpetuity Of any
government over such vast boundaries
the rational lover of liberty should
wish for its speedy dissolution. as dan
gerous to all just aud free rule.
Is not all this exemplified in our own
caseg In nine months, in one session sI
Congress by great coup d. etat. our Con-
stitution has been completely and forever
subverted. Instead :, ola well balanced
government, ali pc wer is vested in one
section Of the country, which is in bitter
hostility with the other, And this is the
glorious Union which We are to support,
for whose eternal duration we are to pray.

Another: "Under the operation of caus-

approaching great and important crisis
in our history. The shadow Of the sun
has gone back upon the dial OF American
liberty, and we are rapidly fastening to-

held out by the spoilsman (alluding TO Hen

More might be added if we b ad space. bu
enough has bsen given to show the spiri
that prevails, and the extraordinary an,
unjustifable means used by the disuniol
leaders to mislead and exasperate the peo
pie.
Disunion was their object IN 1923, the
