How shall we of the North satisfy a slaveholding South, unless we not only surrender the dearest of a freeman's rights, but also either violate the Constitution, or else amend it 60 that free thought and free speech shall be among past and forgotten things? But these outspoken sentiments are not our only oflfense. "We are accused of having elected a President " whose opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery ;" and who believes that " slavery is in the course of ultimate extinction. " Becaus...e of the election of such a President, the slaveholders of the South secede. They do not wait to see what he will do. They secede before he is inaugurated. They secede, then, not because of his acts, but because of his opinions. His opinions on the subject of slavery ; the same opinions which, for a century past, have been spreading and swelling into action throughout the civilized world ; the same opinions which have taken practical form and shape — which have become law — till not a Christian nation in Europe, Spain alone ex- cepted, stands out against them.
