Events have shown a settled determination on the part of the con- spirators to effect a permanent division of the country. I see that the material interests of the nation demand 31 tlie preservation of tlie integrity of the national domain. These Southern States are geographically and politically necessary to us as a nation. Those most necessary to round out and complete the national area are ours l)y every claim. "VVe have bought them, and paid for them, and fought for them, and bled for them.... What with purchase money paid — what with fortifications and defences built — what with driving the natives out and the war waged with Mexico, they have cost us mil- lions of treasure and thousands of lives. If the " rio-ht of secession " for any of the original thirteen members of the Union be (as it is) an absurd claim, it is for these newer States too monstrously absurd to deserve a moment's regard. They belong to us by every title. They are ours of right — om's as a necessary possession — and we must keep them.
