The Daily Dispatch: November 29, 1860., [Electronic resource], The Secession Movement at the South. (search)
tizens.--Their Negros, in the persons of Seward, Sumner and others, have been fiddling, while the Constitution has been trampled under foot, and a higher law inaugurated in its stead; in accordance with their treasonable advice and teaching, and by the crowning act of electing a Black Republican President to carry out their long cherished designs against the peace and prosperity of the South, they have declared open war against us.*** There is no reasonable doubt but that Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Texas and Arkansas will immediately follow, and that the other Southern States will eventually complete the galaxy. It was not to be expected that they would move before South Carolina; not on account of any want of patriotism and determination to resist aggression and insult — not because they are less informed of their rights, or less prepared to defend them, but on account of the national parties, so lately striving for victory in the Presidential canvass, in whic
The Daily Dispatch: November 29, 1860., [Electronic resource], Conservatism in Alabama. (search)
Conservatism in Alabama. The Mobile Register publishes a letter from "a large slaveholder" of Alabama, opposing dissolution on account of Lincoln's election. The letter contains the following views, so unusual to the latitude in which they are uttered: I am surprised to see that men of the law can conscientiously advocate secession as a constitutional measure. This is equal to saying a man has a right to kill himself. The Constitution has not provided for its own destruction. ItAlabama, opposing dissolution on account of Lincoln's election. The letter contains the following views, so unusual to the latitude in which they are uttered: I am surprised to see that men of the law can conscientiously advocate secession as a constitutional measure. This is equal to saying a man has a right to kill himself. The Constitution has not provided for its own destruction. It was formed by the people of the States in Convention, not by the States as governments, and when formed, it was referred back to the same people in Convention for ratification, and they ratified it. And these United States became one government, with as much power as the people saw fit to give it; and, all that is set down in the Constitution is the supreme law of the land; and secession or forcible opposition to it is treason. Nullification is not so bad. That simply refers to a law, and may
The Daily Dispatch: November 29, 1860., [Electronic resource], Plan of Secession. (search)
Plan of Secession. The Columbus (Ga.) Sun suggests the following plan of settling the Secession question: 1. The eight cotton States--South Carolina' Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas--shall consult together, and their destiny in this crisis shall be the same; all shall act together; all shall either remain together in the Union, or all together shall go out of the Union. 2. It shall be understood that a majority of the people in these States shall control the matter for them all — and in order to carry out this programme-- 3. Let a Convention of the people be called in each State, and let it be understood when the vote is taken in each of those States for delegates, that the first question is, shall those eight States remain in the Union, or shall they together go out? 4. Let there be a Convention or Congress of these eight States; let each appoint a delegation equal to its present representation in Congress--Georgi
The Daily Dispatch: November 29, 1860., [Electronic resource], County meetings in North Carolina. (search)
County meetings in North Carolina. At a meeting of citizens of the counties of Halifax, Martin and Edgecomb, N. C., on the 14th instant, resolutions were adopted for the formation of military companies, and urging the secession of North Carolina, if Alabama and Mississippi shall join South Carolina in seceding from the Federal Union. One of the speakers advocated an alliance of the Southern Confederacy--when it shall be formed — with France. After the meeting adjourned, a number of volunteers were enlisted.
