ER4TE STATES.

ERATE STATES.
In closing the labors of the First Permanent
Congress, your Representatives deem it a fit
occasion to give some account of their stew
a.dship; to reviow briefly what, under such
embarrassment and adverse circumstances,
has hsen accomplished to invite attention to
the prospect before us and the duties incum-
bent on every citizen in this crisis; and to cd
dress such words Of counsel and encourage
men: as tho times demand. -,
Compelled by d long series Of oppressive
and tyranuical acts, eliminating at last in the
selection of a President and ce-Prosident
By o party confessedly sectional and hostile to
the South and her institutions, these States
withdrew from the former Union, and formed
q new Confederate alliance, as an indepen-
dent Government. based on tue proper rela-
tions of labor and capital. This step was ia
Ken reluctantly, by constraint, aud after the
exhaustion of every measure that was likely
10 secure US from interference with. our prop.
erty, equality in the Union, or exemption from
submission to an alien Government. The
Southern States claimed only the unrestricted
enjoyment of the rights guaranteed by the
Constitution. Finding; by painful and pro-
tracted experience, that this was persistently
denied, we determined to separate from those
enemies, who had manifested the inclination
and ability to impoverish and destroy us, we
fell back upon the right for which the colonies
maintained the war Of the revolution, and
vhish our heroic forefathers asserted to be
siese and inalienable. The 'unanimity and
zeal with which the separation was .undcrta-
ken and perfected, finds no parallel in history. |
The people rose en- masss to assert thoir liber-
Ties and protect their monacod rights. There
neyer was before such universality Of convic.
tion, among any people, On any question in
yolyine 30 serious and so thorough q change
of ~political and international relations. THE
crew out of the olearness Of the right so to
act. and tho certainty Of the perils of far
ther association with the North. The change
was 30 wonderful, so rapid, so contrary to
universal history, that many fail to. sec that
all has been done in the logical sequence Of
principles, which are the highest testimony
70 tho wisdom Of our fathers. aud tho best
Illustration Of the correctness Of those princi"
ples. This Government ia a child of law
instead OF sedition, Of right instead of vio-
Ience, of elaboration instead of insurreo-
tion. It's early life was attended by 40 an-
arshy, no rebellion, no suspension of Tuthori-
ty, no social disorders, no lawless disturb
ances, SoyeHignty was not for one moment
in allegiance. The utmost conservation
marked every proceeding and public act. The
object was 'to do what was necessary, and no
more: and to do that with the utmost tenpe-
rance and prudence" St. just, in his report
o tho Convention Of France, in 1913, said

attempts at negotiation do not comprise all
that has been done. In every form in which
expression could be given to the sentimont-in

be hailed with 10Y. Our desire for it has new

war, forced on US as it was by the lust of con-
quest and the insane passions Of our foes, are
