armed preparations have already been
made by the dis;: pies aud advocates OF
secession, TO follow he example of the
5 nth. and sever the West from the
Federal Union,
The success Of the Chicago progran
me in November will be the signal for
carving these designs into execution,

new Western C.nfedc1acy, aiming at
Independence, defy ing the power OF the
national arms, and co operating with

We call upon The people to crush all
these schemes, and TO brand their an

baton. We call upon them TO support
the Governm, nt. to qnell the rebellion,
to defend and preserve the Union. We
call upon them to stand by the Presi

paraleled difficulty, has welded the
power Of the nation with untal,e,ing
courage and fidelity. with intcgri,,
