United States.
Whereas, The U. States are waging
war against the Confederate States, with
the avowed purpose of compelling the
latter to reunte with them, under the
same Constitution and Government; and
whereas the waging Of war with such an
object is in direct opposition to the sound
republican maxim, that call govern
ment rests upon the consent of the gov
erned, and can only tend to the consol-
idation in the General Government, and
the consequent destruction of the rights
Of the States; and whereas, this result
being attained, the two sections can only
exist together in the relation of the op-
pressor aud the oppressed, because Of the
great preponderanco of power in the
Northern section, coupled with dissimi-
larity of interests; and whereas we, the
representatives of the people of the Con-
federate States, in Congress assembled
may be presumed to know the sentiments
of said people, having just been elected
by them; therefore
