A man who encourages and advocates thf
right Of secession, Is without doubt traitor
This proposition no one win deny, unless be
denies rebellion 10 be treason.
The buiiernuis are in for 1be CoDstitutior
90 If is,' and yet their leader 'Val' introduced
into CorgfeFs amendments TO the Constitution
He proposed to divide :be United States into
four disiinci sectioBs-ihe North the West,
tbe Pacific; The South This was, be said
10 regulate secession. This proposed amend
ment will be found on pages SO, e9 and 80 OF
the Record Article 1 3. on page SO, gives
The Siates included in each Of those Sections
On page 90. Article Il, you win 6nd proVi-
sion made that any Stale can secede With the
consent of The Legislatures of the Section TO
which she belongs. In the South be had in-
e.uded all the Souttern and Border States
Now if South Carolina desired to leave the
Union, the Southern States would say Way
ward sister depart in peace" Alabama de-
Eires TO secede and Join her, The South as
semble together and say, depart in peace" :"
She goes and locks arms with South Carroll
ua. And then another. and another, until the
whole South have left the Union and formed
the Confederate States of America" as VAL
calls them already. Had he been able to have
passed and adopted this amendment, he would
have "let the cat out of the bag" and peacea-
bly, accomplished dixnnion in less than six
months, and ret some Of bis friends claim that
be is a union man. He is a very smart man
= very subtitle mana very cunning mana
very desperate mana very bypOcritical, de-
ceiViDg, tfeacherous, wicked man.
Record, page 81, be attempts to argue the
right of secession. And among other things
brings up the American Revolution. This is
different dissolution altogether. The Colo
nies we're oppressed; they were not allowed re-
presentation with taxation, and tyrannies were
heaped upon them, making them almost abject
slaves These wrongs are enumerated in the
Declaration of Independence. And they were
bitter, burning wrongs. But the South desire
to secede for the purpose Of establishing the
bloodiest tyranny Of the world, and they don't
claim that this Government has wrenged them
only the right Of secession.
Record, page 68. Does not desire TO pro-
hibit secession for fear of revolution, and that
resistance to established authorities is not as
bad as the cost Of civil war.
Record, page 81. Says secession has been
tried; proved speedy and terrible success; its
prscticability and way has been established;
that the experiment will be repeated; and
that il is madness and folly to call back the
seeded States by adjustment, &c.
Record page 81. Attempts to make out
that all that is left OF the Union is a paper
parchment nf a Union" / suppose he thinks
such Union il not worth much, and conse-
quenlIy he viii! not give it any of bis support,
not even single dollar or single drop OF
any kind Of American blood.
Record, page T6. He says States can se-
cedc-i, amounts to nothing to condemn it.
By such language he endeavors to worry seces-
sion down the throat Of the people and put it
successfully through, if he can.
He incItes the people to mObs, insurrection,
rebellion, murder, arson, trenson-by telling
them this Government is tyranuical; usurpa-
tion of power; should resist it as a burglar;
desecration OF the citizen. &c.
Record, page IO2. He says the acts Of
the Administration are glaring usurpaiion
Of power, paIpabIe and dangerous violation
OF the Constitution. Thia is calculated t.
arouse aud nflame the minds of the people TO
rebellion. Freemen are always jealous of their
liberties The fact is, there never was a mild
er government during war or rebellion since
tie foundation of the world down to the pres
ent time Was that good old Democrat, Gen
Jackson, now iB power, VAL and many o.
bis accomplices would have stretched hemp
and gone down to that house of i'll fame to SET
their old friend Z1icofer.
Record page 1876. He endeavors to a
rouse the Democracy Of Indiana TO riot, re
sistance, bIOndshed, rebellion-by telling then
ten thousand stand of arms have been ordered
to that State to put down the Democratic

wos liar and traitor. He knew he could d.
more harm in the North creating dssatisfac
tion and rebellion, than by a commission il
the rebel army. And by putting on the cloal
Of loyalty, by which be hides a multitude 0
sins, he thought no doubt, be would be safer
Record, page 1872. He asks whether A
mericans will stfeI themselves a servile sacri
fee upon the altar of arbitrary power An,
then thinks the spirit in the land will speak il
thunder tones against the strong arm of des
polic yower. Ibis language conveys tw
ideas; 1st. Arbitrary power; I'd, Resistance.

so the sensation goes ON, with all its horror
calculated to arouse the sympathy and despe

After he Ess thus cunDingly wrought up the
minds TO the highest pitch, he then advises RI

Our fathers 600 years ago by rising in arm
obtained their ffeedom; under james I an
Charles l and james II suffered loss Of life an
other privaiions rather than submit to or
