to invoke the blessing Of Providence upon oaT

As consequence Of our new condition,
and with 4 view to meet anticipated wants, it
will be necessary to provide speedy and eff.
cient organization of branches of the Exsou.
tive Department having special charge Of fos.
eign intercourse. finance, military affairs, and
postal service. For purposes Of desncs, the
Confederate States may, under ordinary cir,
cums.ances, rely mainly upon their militia,

NO much of homopeniety that the welfare Of
every portion should be the aim Of the whole.
Without this sntagonisms are engeudered,
which must and should result in separation.
Actuated solely by the desire to preserve
our own rights aud promote our own welfare,
the separation Of the Confederate States hes
been marked by no aggression upon others,
