More from Lewis Tappan

In the place of your present contempt, and degradation, and misery, honor, and wealth, and happiness court your acceptance.

He is terrified by the echo of his own threats, and the very proposal to dissolve the Union and leave him to his fate, throws him into paroxysms.

You will be cheered by the approbation of your own consciences, and by the plaudits of mankind.
