This much we say In regard 10 the alb
ssract right Of the South to seoeis from
the Unian-to Eevelationixs and set up Q
government for themselves, which, ssto
them sAall sesm moss likely to sascs their
safety and hAppiness.a g
The policy Of assuming and exercising
this right BY the South we have doubted,
and still doubt We believe thai re-
farming ssnss Of duty on the part of the
North will Id short time assure 70 them
all the rights which they claim thai the
people Of the North would sooner adops
The Constitution Of the Confederate
States, than 70 have the Union dissolved.
All that prevents fair and honorable
compromise from being made Is the i'm
