Which is TO dcnlonslratc C liberty regulated by

vindicate those clcments OF National Indc-

now deficient. Aud, whilst the Constitution
OF the Confederate States forbitls tile General
Government to organize and operate enter
pnses of nature calculated to attain these
results, tho projectors will consider it their
du,y TO urge upon the States the dcvctop-

aggregate ability Of the separate States, tho
power OF the Confederate States will llbcmnde

sectional intcrcst and the oppression of a
cannon h6sstR will be avoided.
