in this State when the resolution was
passed taking the State out OF the Union
and resolving to give South Carolina all
the aid and help at our command.
There was a large element In the State,
more especially in North Alabama, good
men and true, who were opposed to the
States going out of the Union, not be-
cause of any lack of patriotism or South
ern sympathies. but they loved the Union
and wanted to settle the differences and
the principles at issue peaceably and
without resort to arms. There were many
able and learned men in the Convention
who represented the anti-secession feel
ing and they made an able and splendid
fight to prevent secession, but they we're
in the minority, though they have always
doubted, as they did then. whether or not
the action Of the Convention would have
been ratified IL it had been submitted
to the people, but when the State went
out they gave their unfaltering allegiance
to the cause and many of them went to
the front while others in that convention
filled many important places in the gov
eminent of the Confederacy and did
splendid service to the young republic.
The debates in the Secession Conven-
ton are always read with interest and
as said before are attracting some atten-
ton lust now, and the scenes of the
adoption of the resolutions taking the
state out of the Union will always bear

eracy" and Smiths "reminiscences. in re-

to aid In resisting any attempt upon the
mart of the United States to coercc

in the belief that the increased inlporta-

upon the domestic product. There ara
several reasons for their conf ience
The cheapening of the Havana product
would supply a better grade OF flier for

their sale. On these, and the moro ex-
