In 1860, when the secession leaders in conjunc.
ton with the Northern abolitonists, were taking
steps todissolve the Union, they were great stick
lers for separate State action. Gov. Ellis recon-
mended that our Legislature should consult tho
cotton States the subject Of secession before our
own people were consulted Special ambassadors
were sent to this State from the cotton States to
excite our people, and prepare them for the fatal
plunge. But nop the idea of the Intervention of
the States, or any action Of the States to obtain
peace is brandedas treason by these very politicians,
and Gov. Vance agrees with them. Treason say
these politicians, and treason says Gov. Vance,
The people could be FIRST inaamed and then trusted
in 1860, but they cannot be trusted now. They
could be trusted when it was proposed to involve
them snd their children-in war, but when it is pro-
posed to close the apd make peace, it would be
dangerous say these politicians to trust the people
They might dishonor themselves, say these politi-
clans with Gov. Vance at their head and therefore
they pop the lash over them to keep them in the
traces, and seek to alarm them by calling them
traitors. The right Of the people to- rule is our
motto. We are not afraid 10 trust the people. No
true Conservative is.

"Perhaps it might be little refreshing to the
