Reasons for Secession.

From William r. Smiths History and
Debates of the Convention of Ala
bama," PIP. 113-114
(Extract from the address of William L.
fancey in the secession convention of
Alabama, January Il, 1861
Some have been disposed to think that
this is movement of the politicians, and
not of the people. This is a great error.
Who, on calm review of the past and
reflection upon what is daily occurring,
can reasonably suppose that the people
OF South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala
oama, Mississippi and Louisiana who
have already elected conventions favora-
BILE to dissolution, and the people OF Ar
kansas, Tennessee, North Carolina and
Virginia who are contemplating an assem-
bling in their several conventions, have
been mere puppets in the hands of poll
ticlans! Who can for a moment thus
deliberately determine that all these peo-
pie, in these various states, who are so
attached to their government, have so
little intelligence that they can be thus
blindly driven into revolution, without
cause, by designing and eviI-mnded men,
against the remonStrances of conserVa-
tive men? No, sir. This is a great popu-
lar movement, based upon widespread,
deep-seated conviction that the forms OF
government have fallen into the hands Of
sectional majority. determined to use
them for the destruction of the rights of
the people of the south. This mighty
hoodlide has been flowing from the popu-
lar heart for years. You, gentlemen of
the minority, have not been able to re-
press it, We of the majority have not
been able to add a particle to its momen-
tum. We are each and all driven for
ward upon this irresistible tide. The rod
that has smitten the rock from which
this flood flows has not been in southern
hands. The rod has been northern and
sectional aggression and wrong, and that
hoodtide has grown stronger and strong
er as days and years have passed away,
in proportion the people have lost all
hope of constitutional and satisfactory
solution of these veXed questions.

And speaking of flags reminds us that
the moment the first gun was fired We by

Alabama in 1861.

From the Weekly Post, Montgomery,
January %, 1861.
The Independent American concludes
a well written article upon the present
position of Alabama In the following
style;
Aamaba! May the Lone Star which she
has hoisted flash it's cheering beams
throughout the entire south; and may the
waves of that secession banner float ex-
ultantly before the gate of every south
erner, and fire their hearts with an I'M
quenchably patriotic devotion.
Alabama! May its name be beacon
light to guide her sons onward to VIC
tory, end may every gale that sweeps
from the north bear on its wings the
healing balm of Gliard for southern
wrongs May we stand shoulder to
shoulder in defense of those rights which
our forefathers handed down to us, I'M
trammeled by compromises and unfetter-
ed by false constructions.
Alabama. Posterity will enroll its
name on the brightest page of our coun-
try's history, and pagans of exultant
praise will swell the threats of her chill
dren yet unborn for her present glorious
position!
Such is our position and such our SEN
tments. crudely and imperfecty ex-
pressed though they may be. We are
for the south and with the SOUTH under
all circumstances and in all contingencies.

Last night our city was beautifully
Illuminated, fireworks were displayed and
a grand demonstration made in token OF
