(( t' all the States is necessary to the per
petuity of the Union. At present eleven
Slates are excluded from the national
council; For seven long months the
present Congress has persistently denied
any right of representation to the people
of these States. Laws affocting their
]ji„hest and dearest interests have been
passed without their consent and in dis
regard of the fundamental principle of
free government. This denial of repre
sentation has been made to all the mem
bers from a State, although the State, in
the language of the President, presents
itself not only in an attitude of loyalty
and harmony,' but in the persons of rep
resentatives whose loyalty cannot be
questioned under any existing constitu
tional or legal test. The representatives
of nearly one-third of the States have
not been consulted with reference to the
great questions of the day. There has
been no nationality surrounding the pres
ent Congress. There has been no inter
course between the representatives of the
two sections producing mutual confidence
and respect. In the language of the dis
tinguished Liet. General: “ It is to be re
gretted that at this time there cannot be
a greater commingling between the citi
zens of the two sections, and particularly
of those entrusted with the law making
power. This state of things should be
removed at once and forever. Therefore
to preserve the National Union, lo vindi
cate the sufficiency of our admirable
Constitution, to guard the States from
covert attempts to deprive them of their
true position in the Union, and to bring
together those who are unnaturally sever
ed, and for th^se great national purposes
only, we cordially approve the call for a
National Union Convention, to be held
at the city of Philadelphia, on the second
Tuesday, fourteenth day of August next,
and endorse the principles therein set
forth.
We therefore respectfully but earnestly
urge upon our fellow citizens iu each
State and Territory and Congressional
District in the United States, in the in
terest of union and in a spirit of harmony,
and with direct reference to the principles
contained in said call, to act promptly in
the selection of wise, moderate arid con
servative men to represent them in said
Convention, to the end that all the States
shall at. once be restored to their practical
relations to the Union, the Constitution
maintained, and peace bless the whole
country.
servative men, constitutional salvation
may be possible. In no other way is it
possible. The South sought to save the
Constitution out of the Union. She fail
ed. Let her now bring her diminished
and shattered, but united and earnest
counsels and energies to save the Consti
tution in the Union. Such I always
thought was her duty and her safety.
The Union must remain. So it is set
tled. Shall this Union be without the
Constitution ? Shall it be with a new Con
stitution formed by a section and founded
in force ? Shall it be bread to one section
and stone to another section of the same
nominal whole ? Shall the eagle protect
with one wing and oppress with the other ?
I understand the Philadelphia move
ment is for a Union of Equals according
to a Constitution made by all and admin
istered by and for all, and, therefore, T
approve it.

Yet I said I would sureiy stay:

Forrest's Own Account of the Pursuit

Late one afternoon, long after this, at
tlic moment when the entire Confederacy
was ringing with his pursuit and capture
of Col. Streight, Forrest came into the
