Excerpt from The Main Object of the Rebellion: From the Original Manuscript of the Late Gov; A. W. Bradford; Written in Eighteen Hundred and Sixty-One Here, for the first time in the history of the world, we witness the attempt instigated by a few disappointed and desperate politi eiaus to excite the pe0p1e into a rebellion, not against an established dynasty, not against governmental oppression, but entirely against themselves, - against a Constitution which establishes in the pe0p1e themselves the right to say who shall be their ruler, and against a government which Mr. Stevens, the Vice Pres ident of the so-called Southern Confederacy, even as late as last November designated as Coming nearer the object of all good govern ment than any other on the face of the earth.
