And ?t(S another reason much stronger: this dbllfirwill not only fix in our minds our uufilterable determination, but it will also show the Government and the North, that we consider their tlireaia^iofcre brtoietn fulmen ; that wo have asserted oar right to secede, apd th'o question as to our.Beparate existence if with theni; we have sunk the mine, laid the train, and given them the match; if it is thought we dare not secede, let them ignite the powder. It has been urged that if we secede now, it will open the eyes of the Northern Abolitionists, and they wilt' forbear the exercise for a time of their vile machinations, and give opportunity to the Government to calm, y favor, and profession our Southern sisters, and perhaps turn them against us, or d&trof their sympathy for us. If this be true,, the otHjrse^ere suggested would have the lama effect on the North, and give no opportunity to our rulers at Washington, in ?ny manner, to use our allies to our injury we would have all >tha .advantages of the wuy, "ivuuuv mo iiijiiritaj ui uie oiuer.
