Our present ccmditjonwas-aehievdd in a man
ia r unprecedented *among # nations —the illus
trious American id'ea that all Ciovenfrrfcut rests
upon tUe eo/iseut of the •■ovefued—-that it is
the right of the people to alter and abolish

®f the gtnis fr.r which they* w re ®estaldiwlfe(b
‘1 he declared purpose pf the goufpact of

lish jusfice, ensurb *domesrip t tranquility, pro
vide for the cpintmfn defence, prtnnote *tjie ge
neral w'eliare, and secure The blessings of lib
erty®to otyselves anvl our posterity” and when,
in the judgment of the sovereigq States now*
composing the Confederacy, it had been per
verted from the purpose* for which it was or*
.hutted, and ceased # to*auswcr®thc ends for
it \vas established, and a peaceful*itppeal to the
ballot box has.declared that, so far as they are
co/icernqd, the government * created by tlyit®
£OTpact should (®case to .oxist, m this they
. merely asserted t"lie right which the Declara
tion of Indepcndenca in 177 G defined t<s be
itiTilieiiable. Os the tifne and occasion of its”
exercise', they, as Sovereign States, wefe the
• final judges, each for*ifself.
J The imptirtial, enlightcsed verdiet®of man

*ltjet, and JI c who knows t?ie hearts of men
willyudge the* sinwrit.y with which® we® have
labored to preserve the governnfcfit of oar fa-
thevs, in its spirit. . ®
The right solemnly prsclaimed at the Ifirth
of the States, and which lt%s been affirmed and
re-tfffinned, # in the. Dills of Right* of th<jf
States subsequently admitted into tjyj union of*
1789, undeniably recogpikes in the people the
powej- tii.re.'Uipe she irtithority delegated to*
the purpose of the Government. ®
It was thus that the sovereign States herj
represented to secede from that® Confederacy,
and it* i\by an abuse of language that this act
has*been denominated revolution. 1 hey have
formed anew, # but witliin o each
State* its givvernnteut has remained, rights

, The agent through which they cotn
munifate v ith foreign nations is changed, but
this does*not neces yi ily interrupt inteitia
’ .tioo&i relations. by \he CQ®scie
tiousness that the traffsition from the ff.Ymer
Union toVne present ('onfiedTtracy has not pro*
’ ceeVfeu from a disregard part of just ob
ltgatibus* ur°atiy failure* to perform Con
stitutional dijty; moved by no interest or pass
ion to invade*the rights of (Jthcfi-s; anxious to
° cultivate peace and commerce with all nations;
if we may mu hope to,avoid waiy wc # mivp at
least expect that posterity # wi[l acquit us of ha
ving* needlessly engaged* in it. o* ®
o l>oub!y justified b) the absence of wrong oy
our part, :flid wanton aggreasfon on the partof
others, there eanjbe no cause to that the
courage and patriotism of the people of the j
Tjonfederale States will be found equal to any i
measures for defence which their security may j
require. An agricultural people, whose chief]
interest is in thep production of a° commodity j
► required in every manufacturing country; our j
true policy is peace and the® freest prade which
our 1 asitu a will pcnsit It is alike our in- j
terest, and that?of all those to whom we would !
sell and from w|om we would ty.iy, that there i
shi'uld b>- the fewest practicable restrictions yp-°
jon the interchange of commodities. There can j
be but little rivalry between us and any man- i
ufacturing or navigating community, such as
the 2s<prth Eastern States of the American L n
ion. It must follow, therefore, iliat mutual in
terest would invite good will and kind offices.
4f, however, passi&u or fust of dominion, should
cloud the judgment or inflame the ambition of
i those States ; w e must prepare to meet the emer-
O

of
sumedamong the nations of The earth.
We have gntcredupo* a T-areer of,

Throuth many yciirs of # controversy with our

vainly endeavored to seeureriranajuility, and bb- # *

and luneeforth oyr energies must be directed
