But NJ countrynen, We must remenl-
bsr that there are certain resiraints upon
mems actions in time Of war. We must
never forget that We are oivilissd and
Christian people, and that war must be
prosecuted only for purposes, and in the
mode recognized By christian nations.
Thsre must not be war waged against
the constitutional rights Of any people on
earth, NOR INSIST it Be war against women
and childrsnand innocent parsons. Saw
ages must mot Be let loose. nor the hor-
rors Of indiscriminate destruction encour-
aged. sAy 70 you ! will never sanction
such acts Of warfare upon the rights Of
others but viii beseech and implore my
countrymen never 70 lay down their arma,
until they recognise our. constitutional
rights. Ed
We we're born under the constitutes
Of the United States. Its provisions snd
its guarantees are our birthright. lam
then prepared 70 demand and enforce that
inalienable right to tn iast extremity.
We have peculiar reasons, from our posi-
ton in the centre OF this continent why
Ne csnnot recognise the right Of any
number Of Ssates to secede At their plea
sure and break up our government. When
you admit the right Of ans State 10 -
