htbe late war was decisive " an thina, II Ger
tsin;y settled in the negative tho qies,ion OF II,
limited State Rights. II was the difference q
opinion upon that question which rcuera.ci uG'
nncsuon In South Carolina thirty .thrcc years q fl,
and which then threatened tic stability Of the
Union. II was the same dispute VIII b, aacr th'r-
" years OF agitation, ulmipAlci in civil war, and
II was upon shat issue that tho rebellion wa,
brought 10 Close. Therefore, the question no.
ought N be irrvvocally settled. /. ou,t 10 be
dearly UNDERWOOD by the people Of every section
and Of every political hue, that the slses rue not
unlimited rights and thu, they arc not shsolutely
sovereign. Yet there Is very large proportion Of

The right 70 withdraw At pleasure. II was upon
this ground that s,ulh Carolina justified the ac,
Of secession; II was the same shat Undue d the
other States 70 follow in its wake, AMI II is the
probable plss that Mr.. DAVIS viii Introduce
