The Legislature of North Carolina, then ami

suit of that mission, undertaken for purposes of an
honorable and satisfactory settlement of difficulties
with the North how impossible it was for the South
longer to live in amty and honor in Governmental
union with the North, he returned to his home at Will
mngon and bade his countrymen prepare for the strug
gle which he saw at hand and not to be averted,
except by savish abandonment of all lights. In
like spirit of an abandonment of old party predec.
