Mr. Upton do you believe that the Secessionist just went to bed one day and woke up the next and decided to succeed? Secession, as I'm sure you may know had been threaten for years. Do you honestly think that they did not splinter the Democratic convention for that very purpose? Do you not think that it verges on the miraculous that men in seven different states would have the same plan to leave the Union so close together without previous correspondence? Secession was not done on a moments notice, surely even you would acknowledge that would you not?

Chase.
