I got done a little early tonight, so I listened to your recording. You will note that on many of the notes I have put 'about' because I don't have Audacity to work with and without it it is hard to get the exact time. But I think they are close.
Another good reading, but some corrections, many of which are where you put in 'succession' for secession.
About 14:00 on the first day of its session I heard secession.
15:58 hostile to the secession movement. I heard succession
About 16:40 hostile to the secession movement. I heard succession
About 17:35 of these seceding States I heard succeeding
About 17:40 not to pass any act of secession I heard succession
About 20:47 the boiling elements of secession. I heard succession
About 22:10 the pro-slavery extensionists would have, even at the hazard of war. I heard exclusionists.
About 33:27 no accident or 'row' occurred. You pronounced “row” to rhyme with ‘know’. In this context is should rhyme with ‘now’, meaning a fight or something like that.
About 34:57 and anarchy of secessionI heard succession
I know, too many 's' words that sound a lot alike.

Brandon,
Your corrections were great. However, when checking them, I found a few more that should be corrected:
25.5 Secession you saidsuccession
4:54 a just cause for secessionSuccession
6:27.5 before the spirit of secession in South CarolinaSuccession
13:09 The Legislature of South Carolina initiated the secession movement, when, Succession
13:33.5 the determination of South Carolina to secedesucceed
14:37 the first State to pass an ordinance of secession. Succession
14:43.5 secession was not the mushroom growth of an hour or a night, Succession
15:01 prove clearly that the whole secession movement was in the hands of a few conspirators Succession
15:29 it was decided that each Southern State should secede from the Union as soon as possibleSucceed
15:35 that a convention of seceding States should be held at Montgomery, Alabama, Succeeding
16:41 Mississippi passed an ordinance of secession,Succession
I 'think' these are all of them. Sorry I didn't catch them before, but the listening conditions were not ideal.

Thanks for going back to double-check this! Here's an updated version of chapter 8 (49:48):
3:56.5 and appealed to his fellow-citizens in most earnest language, You added 'then' between 'and' and 'appealed' This is really a minor thing, the antecedent to this phrase is “In this proclamation….”. The word 'then', kind of gives the impression that it happened later, rather than in his 'proclamation'. This is really your call.
7:27 was in tho same spirit in which General Beauregard, again.
7:56 This was the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus. If the way you pronounced it is the way it is said in your neck of the woods, that is fine, but usually habeas corpus is pronounced hay-be-ess core-pus. Your call.
8:41 That the writ habeas corpusSame as above.

Excellent - a new version has been uploaded (16:36):
And the final section is ready (21:48). I'm definitely a bit sad to be done, but also excited to have the project finalized! I'll look forward to your feedback as always.
Another good reading. A few things you may want to look at:
:48.5 seemed an unpropitious opening of the new year. “ unpropitious is 'usually' prounced :ŭn′prə-pĭsh′əs, with the 't' silent. Again, if this is the way it is regionally pronounced in your area, then, of course, you can leave it. Your call.
:53 The rebels next invaded Maryland and Pennsylvania, again you said Penn-sla-vania.
3:13 that from these honored dead we take increased devotion You added the word 'may' between 'we' and 'take'.
9:59.5 The following exceptions only were made You said exemptions
10:04.5 The persons exceptedExemptions again.
One small comment. One thing that many people don't realize is that all the 'speeches' etc. of Lincoln's we read, he wrote, as opposed to the Presidents of our day who have teams of speech writers who still can't match the work of Lincoln's own mind. Many years ago I read a book "Lincoln in His Own Words". I was a collection of many of his writings and showed how eloquent this back-woods Kentucky 'hick' became. A great read.
