- Monarchy, Despotism must be the end of o..
cession, if secession triumph! But It viii not
triumph; that Administration Of the federal
government, nlw coming into power, will save
the South from the destroying despotism which
treason has prepared for it, will bring it back to
the freedom of the Union for which WASHINGTON
fought and which the sages and patriots of the
American Revolution taught, but it will do so
according to the Constitution and Laws of that
Union which those patriots founded, will do 90
by yielding to the South all just demands, but de-
lnanding in turn obedience 70 the Constitution
and laws which . portion has ruthlessly violated.
TIE Basis OF CoNPRon1sz.-Now that We ap.
preach the ''era of good feeling" and the '.com-
missicners of peace have really started upon
their mission, We should look about for . safe and
solid foundation Of compromise, It i obviously
useless to waste time in patching 1p terhs Of
agreement if the right Of any State to seeede al
it, own sovereign will and pleasure. and thereby
break up the Union at any moment, be allowed
We would suggest, therefore, az the first article
of the new compact, that each State should b.
irrevocably pledged to bear true faith and ALE
glance to the Government Of the United States
until the consent Of Vt least three-f0urths of al
the States is obtained TO any change that NIGH
be proposed in its relations to the Confederacy
Otherwise it might happen that before the inl
il dry upon the parchment Of compromise
Rhode Island, Arkansas or Mipnesotl should de
eide to "Iesume their sovereignty" and We bt
shivering slce more on the brink Of dissolution
Before contriviag new agreements. let " at less
