The election was the, signal for the movc~ mcnt of secession. It was no excuse for the guilt of disunion. The insincerity and bad faith of the leaders in the movement is demon- strated by the fact that in both Houses of Con press there was a safe mnjority against the Republican party. But the truth is that the apostles of secession were traitors at heart, in- dependent of the election; and that they want- ed and used the election only . As a lever to precipitate the south from its allegiance. T...hey duped the south into the belief that the entire people of the north were infected with tlic leprosy of abolition. As it was, wc fully believe that the tnnjoritj' of the whole southern people stood loyal lo the Union, and that in no seceding state, except South Carolina, was the ordinance of secession fairly carried before the people. The election of Mr. Lincoln, though effected by a minority of votes, was cii'ried in all the forms of the Constitution, was obligatory upon all the states and the people thereof, was no palliation for the unhallowed act of secession.
