the "war clouds " are darkening now

were then promised peaceable seces-
sion;" we are now to have peaceable
notification. Under these circum-
stances I feel it to be duty to make
known the reasoning by which [ have

has no motive save the public good.

emergency, for expressing my opinion.

being drawn into the vortex of poll
