lignuriag the principles and objects Of the

Union, 10 wanton disposition to iusuli
iss flag aad TO dessros the government Of
shfch il 10 the embien. Botn opinions
are wong. TIE old Union Vas an or
ganixafIon Of States. But Il was more;
e was such "a organisation, founded up
on great psinciPtes, in order to give the
most eaicians security Tor the inaiaseaaRSs
Of shose very same principles. These
principles are the sovereignty OF the
States the right OF tie people 10 govern
themselves; the right Of each State TO
regulate It's own domestic affairs, to es-
tahiish It's own domestic institutions, 10
organise It's own system Of labor, and to
pafsue iss own career OF enterprise, sub
| ices 10 no restrictions except such a. are
expressed Ia fhe Federal Consultation
Ga thess the Union vas based aud eonsIi-
taeed tie soIemn guaaDsee OF all, that
each State snou..d be protected In their
| undissarbed saioymsnt. When il failed
to do shis, or what 10 worse, VIXEN the
government passed into sue admiuissFa-
sion Of those whose avowed policy and
measures must lead 10 the overthrow OF
these principles, is was virtually st an
end, and, IN their opinioa, ceased TO be
valuable 10 the people of the Confederate
States. Hence secession was aos resort
ed 10 merely TO throw OF the Union. On
people loved the Unien, and hoaosed its
oaea glorious hag for the rich memories
that classered axound is. They left IL
/ with reluctance and regres 10 which
