They do not believe Accession to be the
proper remedy for the nggressivn dotnon
trtjon of the Abolitior.ised parly. The
los;tion of tho Democracy on this ques
tion was so cloitly defined by Senator fli.;.
in his great speech in the Senate on

give it in his own lancuage:

forms prescribed iu I Ii j Constitution. The
southern ftatt-s should have petitioned Con
gress for a convent on of flutes to revise the
C'oui'tituUon and remove the piieianres of which
they complain. In this way .hey could have
ascertained the reul sentiments and intentions of
the northern people tuwards ilium, and (lit great
alternatives of coiitiiiui'd Union or peaceful sep
eration could havo been determined upon.
This was the courso of our fathers in reference
to the old confederal;, n. which wns intended
io be perpetual, but was changed because it did
not auswor the purpose for nlii. li it was reu

and not till then, could violent remedies with

ai now surround us ; and bonce no provision wras

tive man, every patriot, and every
wisher of his country, knows that this
calamity can only bo averted by a concil -
iatory course on tho part of tho present
administration ; that an attempt tr co
erce the seceded Stales cither by Llovka

collect the revenue, will not only fail, hut
drive out the border State, nnd plunge
the country into civil war, and utterly
destroy all hopes of a ro-eonsrrue.tion of

From thete declaration it was evident
that scmcbtkfy would have to "back down,"
or else that the dreadful ncourge of civil
war would be inaugurated. Happily. '

the Federal government; i-or hat any
tempt been made to "collect the duties

been repeatedly announced, 1:3 if by autli-

would be given up, anil that every effort
would be mado to avert a collision.

is, taut tho naval force is to tie immedi
