boldly and defantly. We cannot doubt his plans
and purposes he againsspeaks of secession as fol-

1t follows from these views that no State. upon
lts own mere notion, can lawfully 90 out of the
Union, that resolves and ordinances to that effect
are legally void, and that acts of violence within
any state or States against the authority of the
United States, are insurreetonary or revolutionary
according to circumstances"
In relation to the coerciYe power of the Federal
Government he talks as follows:
