Secession, is not intended to break up the present government, but to perpetuate it. We do not propose to go out by way of breaking up or destroying the Union as our fathers gave it to us, but we go out for the purpose of getting further guarantees and security for our rights
If the Southern States secede, we have no doubt they will speedily be anxious to return

Anyways, it's interesting that they are saying that the southern states will be ready to re-join immediately.
