Why, Sir. I do not hesitate TO say here
mot distinctly Tor myself that ] dissent en-
tircly from the conclusions OF the honorable
Senator from Massachusetts,, Ne stated In bis
resolutions. I do not look upon the States

fundamental idea upon which we started IN
this contest wa-. that no State could take
itself out o' the Union, no State could dee
triy it, existence ne q State. or change lis
relations To tho Union. We have consider.

INV poor remarks-will b. remembered hy
