recklessness anexampled; t even rn ; its?
wn hitherto most reckless coursey-is
precipitating the Country, upon a roost
threatening and feaful crisis, one, which
in desiring lo break down the institutions'
of ihe SoutB', rniist inevitably aecom-
phsb the dissolution of the Union,rand
the d e&truction of 1 1 hose bright hopes
Which. in years past Were fi'nd!u!gedl
with confidence, that we were destined "
to'continuea great, united, happy people.'5
For if the constitutional .right? affrf peaca
of the South, are to become1 a prey to
that reckless sprrrtwhkh seems-resolved-to
ruTe or ruin," how can it be reason
ably expected, that our' people should
remain attached to that Union, which

Year after year, for - nearly twenty
years, has the spirit of Fanaticism ; con
tinued its work -"of agitation, the press of

hostility, to an instiiittionV which is clearly
interwoven with oar domestic relative;
setking every vopportunity to fix 'upoii
us, an odious discrimination in the Jegts

reconized our equalities with the rest of
the Union, raising all it? energies, with
Venewed and more reckless', zeal, to ac
complish the repeal of those . Jaws,.atid

arid yet more' destraaife to our peace
and nappiness., v ;v rpt

For myself, I believe - it the duty of
our people, a duty which ' they owe to
themselves as freemen, to lh:er children

which they regard as sacred and honor-
