Executed at the shortest notice and ON the most
reasonable terms.
n T. "a IT x S

It is alleged That we desire to adestrov
the Federal Government" We have no
such desire. We wish to withdraw from
it, that is all. Wehave no desire to inter-
fere with the government of the North
And if you wish to extirpate all future Sc
cession, and wipe out all distinction of
States, making your government o central
lied unity, we have no objection. It is
absurd to say that mere loss of territory
" destroys the government" and "ruins
the nation" Thinking men ought not
to countenance such delusion. Such oc-
currences are familiar in history. Nor do
we wish to "overthrow the Constitution"
We have reproduced that Constitution with
some notifications, rendering it more per-
feet. Our Constitution recognizes God in
the forefront, which the old one nowhere
does. 1t restricts the power of the Presi-
dent in appointments, thus throwing an
additional safeguard around the liberties
Of the people, though it is the habit of the
Northern press to represent our institutions
as tending to despotism. And it makes
plain the whole matter of slavery, putting
it on the same ground as the old Constitu-
ton, but so distinctly stated as to be beyond
dispute. We do not desire to overthrow
the Constitution. We are loyal to it. It
is because it has been grossly violated that
We are in arms to assert our rights. Grant
our demands, and we would constitute two
nations, each under the same great Con-
stitution, and each able to maintain its
nationality before the world How would
this result "ovcrthrow the Constitution"
How would it "destroy liberty" or Gin
troduce anarchy ?' -. ....
Brethren, we beseech you, weigh fairly
our testimony. It is very great crime to
endoayour by force of arms to suppress the
liberties Of free people atnd subjugate
them TO government, which they repudi-
ate. History has for such, though they be
part of Republic and wage war in the
name of freedom and the Constitution, tho
same verdict that it pronounces on Great
Britain in its attempts to hold the thirteen
colonies, andon Austria in holding Venetia.
We have not doubt of our ability to
maintain our independence, for we know
that the whole South, and not mere fac
tion, is united in the fixed purpose; and
nine millions of men in such cause can
not be conquered by eighteen millions of
invaders. We do not believe that God,
who stood by our forefathers in their de-
termined resistance Of British aggression,
will desert us in our hour of trial. But
alas! the horrors Of this wicked war! We
beseech you, brethren, make not yourselves
parties to it. Consider whether loyalty to
your government obliges you to sustain
this war. If you were invaded, it might
indeed summon you to the defence of your
homes. But lay it to your consciences, as
you will have to answer for it at the bar of
God, wAether any lao, human or dioine,
obtges you to countenance the sul5ugation
Of the Southern States By the States of the
North.

The South the South the sunny South,
The land where patriot bosoms glow;
The soil where freedom claim its birth,
And down from sire to son doth flow.
This sacred soil the Northern hordes
Doth now poilute with frenzied hate,
To crush with murderous guns and swords,
And lay our country desolate.
To arms to armsl Sons of the Southl
Strike strike for children, hearth and
home;
For all that's dear to man on earth,
Strike now, and for the years to come:
The SOUTH the South, united now
With hearts of valor, backed by steel;
Victorious laurels deck the brow
Of all her warriors in the field;
And never can the northern bands
Usurp the rights to her so dear;
Armed with the sword of truth she stands,
While Yankee minions quake with fear.
To arms! &c.
The Southl the South! Her daughters fair,
Smile their approval, give their aid;
Their lives, and all their jewels rare,
Are on their country's altar laid.
Then let the shock of battle come,
Nerved with the sacred cause Of right
Our cry shall be-"Strike home! Strike home!-
The God of Justice leads the fight"

THE OLD PLATFORM.

Tho following platform of principles, laid
down BY Mr.. Jefferson in his Inaugural
Address, now more than sixty years ago,
is just what we want carried out to-day !:
Equal and exact justice to all men, of
whatever state or persuasion, religious or
political; ~. rs
The support of the State governments in
all their rights as the surest bulwarks
against anti-republican tendencies
A mild and safe corrective of abuses
which are Topped by the sword of revolu-
tion, where peaceful remedies are unpro-
yided a.as s sf
A generous spirit of concession and COM
promise, the vital principle of Republics,
without which thero.nu be an appeal to
