Let our southern friends follow this example, even at this late day, and all may be yet saved. Better counsels will prevail in such a body than in Congress. Men will come fresh from the people, unembarrassed by party politics and party platforms. This refused by the North, and then, and not till then; could violent remedies with any show of justice be invoked. The Con- stitution was intended to meet just such exigencies as now surround us; and hence, no provision was made for the separation of ...the States, and none for the coercion of States into obedience to the fundamental law of the Union. The men who made the Constitution were in the practice of that peaceful remedy at the time, and doubtless intended to leave the same remedy and none other to posterity. This remedy should still be embraced, unless Congress should promptly submit to the States some measure of pacification and reunion. No one pretends that the right of secession is given in the Constitution ; and no one can seriously pretend that, if practiced by a State, the act is not, to some ex- tent, a violent one, and in derogation of the rights and interests of the other States.
