Americans (search for this): article 2
secession unless the power of the Washington Government could be made so resistless and overshadowing as to check it.--They threw off all disguise. Their President, elected without a solitary vote in the Southern States, holdly expounded their constitutional dogma by declaring that States were no more to the Federal Government than counties were to the States! He wanted to ignore the States altogether — to cease calling men Virginians, South Carolinians, Georgians, etc., and to call them Americans! The system of Government established by our Revolutionary Fathers — that system which contemplated the independence and sovereignty of the municipalities — the States--as indispensable to public and personal liberty — was discarded and contemned as idle and ridiculous. The Federal Government was everything — the States nothing. To have submitted to his election, his inauguration, and his rule, would have been to accept the Northern political dogma, and to have surrendered the whole

Indeed, slavery the Northern leaders know to be indispensable to the production of the very staples which yielded the great profits to Northern commerce and build up all their wealth. They had no idea of its ultimate extinction. But as a means to agitate the public mind and establish the sectional power they scrupled not to use it.

It is not "lamentable." Association with an unscrupulous race, who hesitated not to employ the vil

Finally, when the people of the North found that they had at last, through their numbers of voters, the power to carry all the branches of the Government, they hesitated not to usurp them all. They employed the most atrocious means, agitating the most dangerous issues with a duplicity characteristic of them. Drawing that sectional line that General Washington had foretold would dissolve the Union--because he knew that his people never would submit to the tyranny and ignominious rule of a sectional majority — they were ready to follow it up with the assertion of the supreme authority of the Federal Government over all the States as necessary to hold them together — to bind them to the Union. They knew their usurpations would lead to secession unless the power of the Washington Government could be made so resistless and overshadowing as to c
