Lortune. you are not prelpared for

3e sure, before you move, that you

-ou are induced to favor secession by

lamorous for that measure hold out to
'ou- that you would be caressed
ud coaxed by kindness ard con
essions, to return to the Unicn, I
ntreat you to discard the vain and
nworthy hope. Secession for such
purpose, would be a paltry. and a
iiserable trilling w ith the gravest
nestion of the century. I would
corn with as proud a disdain as you
ould feel, any unmanly ap"1 cal to
our fears. I make no such appeal.
only conjure you to tring home to
our own consciousness, the realities
f this great issue, bef.re the sword

rawn, can never be sheathed without
ishono'r. Ietreat inl such a contest,
