Mr.. Jetferson's doctrine, embodied in the
declaration of independence, of the Right OF

this right is asserted, and it's exercise prop

to subject all concerned to the woes and
horrors of civil war. In other words, what
one party has right to do, another party
can nave no right to resist And we have
urged that, had the great mass of the Southe
