Zzzfederal coercion.

Some of the Washington correspondents telegraph that Mr. Buchanan is attempting to map out a middle course in which to steer his bark during the tempest which now howls about him. He is to condemn the asserted right of secession, but to assert in the same breath that he is opposed to keeping a State in the Union by what he calls Federal coercion. Now, we have no desire to prevent secession [37] by coercion, but we hold this position to be utterly unsupported by law or reason.

I will also quote an article from the New York Daily Tribune, Friday, November 30, 1860:
