ton--Uho declare that 1t Is neither aeise,
sqts or constitutional y to return to the Union
under The present acts Of Congress. They have
singled us out for q target; let US see how

held us up as an enemy to the State;i let us
see who they are, and what they have been
doing. The names are of record. We have
copied them all, SO as to have them in our
files when they may be called for. If the
State does notlget back to the Union under
the present acts, punishment for continued
treason will be certain to fall somewhere.
