Drawn together after dark days and severe trials, solemnly pledged to each other by the people whom the Union raised to a full citizenship in the Republic, bound by a compact designed to be without limitation of time, lifted by their consolidation to a place and fame and prosperity which they would never else have reached, mutually necessary to each other's thrift and protection, making a nation adapted by its organic constitution to the region of the earth which it occupies, and now, by previous memories and traditions, by millions of social and domestic alliances, knit by heart-strings the sundering of which will be followed by a flow of the life-blood till all is spent, these terms are but a feeble setting forth of the relations of these States to each other and to the Union.
