The Bangor (Maine) Daily editorializes:
[The Union] depends for its continuance on the free consent and will of the sovereign people of each State, and when consent and will is withdrawn on either part, their Union is gone. … A state coerced to remain in the Union is a subject province and can never be a co-equal member of the American Union.

Any violation of the constitution by the general [federal] government. Deliberately persisted in would relive the states injured by such violation from all legal and moral obligations to remain in the union or yield obedience to the federal government … let them [the Southern states] go.
