Suppose this system of operation waiin the bands

2. That hile, as". citizens of Connecticut, we
assert oyr devotion- to Uhe Constitution and the

3. That, while we deaounce the heresy of se
cession, as undefended and unwarranted by the

ever may have been the opinion of our country
men, the time has noW arrived when all. true lov
ers of the Constitution! are ready to abandon "the

4. That the democracy of Connecticut, sympa

actiog under and by authority of the laws of the
State; and any and al acts or tne Uongress oi

less of the great lessons of the past, the National

recorded,- on: the entire Railroad of- the-Company,
with all its macMhery and . lands,' and franchise, and
other appurtenances. - The road commences at ' the
City of Selma, where it connects " with- the Alabama
'and Tentiessee River Railroad (completed 135 miles,)
Confederate Government, to Rome, Georgia and with
a daily lin&'of steamboats, plylns between Selma and
.Montgomery,' and extends West, through a well culti

of the Northeast and Southwest Alabama ; Railroad,
with the Mobile and Ohio, and .Southern" (Mississippi)

Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi, and the
Northern, and Eastern, portions of the Confederacy,

Vicksburg and all intermediate places to the Capitol
of the. Confederacy, and the South Atlantic cities.
Although the route through from Selma to Meridian
has been opened only within the last few weeks, ; and
is not yet working as regularly-as it will, so soon as
the arrangements in"4 progress are completed, the in

beueved, that no better securities than those bonds,
