I maintain on the principles of 1776 that Abraham Lincoln has no right to a soldier in Fort Sumter. These are the words of Wendell Phillips. Can language be more plainer or more forcible in support of the belief and action of the people who united in establishing the Confederate States? So as to the right of secession, the New York Tribune of November 9th, 1860, said: If the Cotton States shall decide that they can do better out of the Union than they can in it, we insist upon letting them go on in peace.

[Loud cheers.] He would read a telegraphic dispatch which had just been received. The dispatch was as follows: Richmond, Nov. 9, 1860. F. G. Drake--Southern students — welcome Richmond. South Carolina has seceded.--[Cheers.] Now, then, is the time to go. [Renewed cheers] A Voice — That dispatch is not reliable.--[Voices--"It is."] When are these resolutions to be carried into effect?
