priation for the army of the United
States if the lawful government OF
South Carolina is maintained by mill
tary force. The submission to such
coercion makes the degeneracy OF the
political party or people which endures
it. A government worthy the name,
a political party fit to WELD power,
never before blanched at such !!
threat.
But the edict has gone forth. NO
aronment or considerations which
your friends could present have SUI
feed to avert the disaster. NO eHec-

wholly unaffected by the action OF the
President. No court Of the State has
Jurisdiction to pass upon the title to

be convened except upon my call, II

success to our cause should not
shrink from any sacrifices which
might confront me. 1t is cause In
which, by right of reason and con-
science, man might we'll lay down
