X\nd you must allow me to say, with equal frankness and deep regret, that unless this war should cease — unless the rights secured to us by the Constitution shall be respected; unless our property can be secured from robbery and confiscation ; unless our honors and our feelings shall be respected ; unless we are permitted to hold our places in the Union on the terms of equality as prescribed by the Constitution — without degradation ; unless we can live together in peace and quiet, as did our f...athers — if these things cannot be accorded to us, then the sooner we separate the better. We can never consent to retain these political relationships at the expense of honor or the surrender of our rights. To hold it, at such a price would cover us with a mantle of infamy ; and the spirits of our fathers would rise up in judgment to condemn the degeneracy of their sons. Can we lend ourselves to such prostitution ? Never, never, never I Some may suppose I have drawn this picture too strongly — that it is not so dark as I present it.
