11.-Senator Douglas's last letter.
Chicago, May 10.
My dear sir: Being deprived of the use of my arms for the present by a severe attack of rheumatism, I am compelled to avail myself of the services of an amanuensis, in reply to your two letters.
It seems that some of my friends are unable to comprehend the difference between arguments used in favor of an equitable compromise, with the hope of averting the horrors of war, and those urged in support of the government and the flag of our country, when war is being waged against the United States, with the avowed purpose pose of producing a permanent disruption of the Union and a total destruction of its government.
All hope of compromise with the cotton states was abandoned when they assumed the position that the separation of the Union was complete and final, and that they would never consent to a reconstruction in any contingency--not even if we would furnish them with a blank sheet of paper and permit them to i

Letters of J. L. Orr and Amos Kendall.
Ex-speaker Orb to Hon. Amos Kendall.
Anderson, S. C., Aug. 16, 1860.
My dear sir:--I have received your favor of the ninth inst. Your age, experience, and ability entitle your opinions to great weight on every reflecting mind, and I regret to learn from your letter that your dissent from my recommendation that the honor and safety of the South require its prompt secession from the Union, in the event of the election of a black republican to the presidency.
You say your mind is equally clear that the South has long had a peaceful remedy within her own reach, and has it still, though impaired by the recent conduct of some of her sons, You would greatly oblige me by a full exposition of your opinions upon that point, as well as the remedy to be resorted to by us, should the Government, in November, pass into the hands of a party whose declared purpose is to destroy our property, amounting in value at th

13.-speech of Reverdy Johnson, at Baltimore, Jan. 10, 1861.
from the author's copy.
Mr. President and gentlemen of Baltimore:--For this cordial and warm salutation, you have my most sincere and grateful thanks.
Although willing to refer it in some measure to feelings of personal kindness to myself, I prize it the more, infinitely the more, from the assurance it gives me that you believe I am, as I know you are, attached, devotedly attached, to the Union our fathers bequeathed to us as the crowning work of all their trials, struggles, perils, in the mighty war which, ending in our independence, animated and strengthened the hopes of human liberty in the bosoms of its votaries in all the nations of the earth.
As long as they were spared to us, that work, under their superintending vigilance and patriotic wisdom, was preserved in its perfect integrity.
No false local ambition was suffered to mar it; no unfounded, heretical doctrine of State rights was permitted to overtu

Doc. 15.-John Ross's proclamation.
I, John Ross, principal Chief, hereby issue this my proclamation to the people of the Cherokee Nation, reminding them of the obligations arising under their treaties with the United States, and urging them to the faithful observance of said treaties, and peace and friendship toward the people of all the States.
The better to attain these important ends, I earnestly impress on all my fellow-citizens the propriety of attending to their ordinary avocations, and to abstain from political discussions of the events transpiring in the States, and from partisan demonstrations in regard to the same.
They should not be alarmed with false reports, thrown into circulation by designing men, but cultivate harmony among themselves, and observe good faith and strict neutrality between the States threatened with civil war. With these means alone can the Cherokee people hope to maintain their own rights unimpaired, and have their own soil and firesides spared

19.-letters of John Adams.
New York, May 26, 1789.
Dear sir :--I am this evening favored with yours of the 18.
In answer to your question, I ask another.
Where is the Sovereignty of the Nation lodged?
Is it in the National Government, or in the State Governments?
Are there more Sovereignties than one?
if there is more than one there are eleven; if there are eleven there is no General Government, for there cannot be eleven sovereignties against one.
Are not the Constitution and Laws of the United States, the supreme law of the Land?
if so, the supreme Magistrate of the United States is the supreme Magistrate of the Land.
This would be enough to determine your question.
But if practice is consulted, the clergy here, of all denominations, pray for the President, V.-President, Senate and Rep's of the National Government, first: then for the Governors, Lt.-Governors, Senators and Rep's of the State Governments.
This is a grave example, indeed, considering it is ad

21.-Senator Johnson's speech, at Cincinnati, Ohio, June 19.
Fellow-citizens:--In reply to the cordial welcome which has just been tendered to me, through your chosen organ — in reply to what has been said by the gentleman chosen by you to bid me welcome to Cincinnati — I have not language adequate to express my feelings of gratitude.
I cannot find language to thank you for the tender of good fellowship which has been made to me on the present occasion.
I came here without any expectation that such a reception was in store for me. I had no expectation of being received and welcomed in the language, I may say the eloquent and forcible language of your chosen organ.
I am deserving of no such tender.
I might conclude what little I am going to say by merely responding to, and endorsing every single sentence uttered on this occasion in welcoming me in your midst.
(Applause.)
For myself, I feel that while I am a citizen of a Southern State--a citizen of the South and of
