But, hiiwe\ er greal the inconsistency of secession-Democrats may be, it appears in- significanl when compared with the self-contradiction of their confreres, the anti-secession Democrats. These men. Variously Btyled as anti-war-Democrats, Conservatives, late mem- bers of the Union party, hold thai State authority i- inferior to the Federal ; thai no State has the righl to secede al pleasure : consequently, thai Rebellion was a crime : thai the war for the supremacy of the Constitution and the ...maintenance of the Union was istitutional to the full extent: yet, thej also admit thai the rights of States in the Union are perpetual and unconditional. The war, therefore, to its full extent, in defense of the Government, was in their opinion constitutional ; yet, the logical, inevitable results of both the crime of rebellion and ol the war.
