A Restitution Of The Union Has Been

To One Who Loves His Country In All Its Parts, It Is Natural To Rejoice In Whatever Contributes To The Prosperity And Honor And Marks The Stability And Progress Of Any Portion Of Its People.

The Principle For Which We Contend Is Bound To Reassert Itself, Though It May Be At Another Time And In Another Form.

All We Ask Is To Be Let Alone.

A Government, To Afford The Needful Protection And Exercise Proper Care For The Welfare Of A People, Must Have Homogeneity In Its Constituents. It Is This Necessity Which Has Divided The Human Race Into Separate Nations, And Finally Has Defeated The Grandest Efforts Which Conquerors Have Made To Give Unlimited Extent To Their Domain.

The Time For Compromise Has Now Passed, And The South Is Determined To Maintain Her Position, And Make All Who Oppose Her Smell Southern Powder And Feel Southern Steel.
