and prevent the %effusion Of blood in domestic
strIf,.
Resolred, That we regard the Union Of the
States on The principles Of the national consti,u.
tion, az the only ark of our satety-that in the
language of the farewell address of the Father of
his country, we will frown indignantly on eve.

dnu w tbtS Sp'tt NV utSuppioNC VI tUS pbOtCVu@
ings Of the majority Of Sunth Carolina in their

violate the majesty Of the laws.
ResaiCed, That the Union party Of South Ca.
rollna, by their high and heroic devotion to the
interests of their country at this perilous crisis,
deserve the heartfelt gratitude . every Q io'.-
The people Of Louisiana have APP ecia I'd with
hIch regard their determined stand against ar.
blirary and Oppressive ~regula,i ms Which in the
shape OF Test LaDs, and the ~privafion Of trial by
jury, are more odious than the tyranny of the
Sruarts. more vindictive than the measures Of
that British ministry, whose conduct is go eio.
quenily delineated in our declaration Of indepen.
dence.
Resoiued, That the citizens OF Louisiana res.
pund o the patriotic call Of he President Of the U.
SAFES 10 his fellow citizens, and we pledge

express To him the high sense We feel Of the mer-
~itor,ous e~xertions he has made to arrest the pre-
sent crisis. and TO request him to communicate
these resolutions to the g Union Party" Of South
ollna.
"A New-Orleans paper. giving an account Of
the above meeting, adds:
The resolutions were read, one by one, and
unanimously adopted. One little '.no!' seemed
to issue from Inc mouth of some \ulli6rr, who
had slowed himself away in a corner 1f the room
but when voices were heard saving, "kick him
out-nuil,fv biIn-hans h'm,'' It seemed that he
became gifted with the pnwers Of asmodeus: for
he vanished, and no track or trace Of him could
be discovered"
As to Van Burenism, just at this moment, We
have nothing 20 say-not knowing what ii is. But
there is a difference, wide as the poles asunder,
the Jacksonism which prevailed down
10 the 10th Of December, and the Jacksonism
speaks forth in the Proclamation. and is
in the present Message. We care not
what the principles Of the Proclamation and pre-
'ent message are called. They are the sound
OF the Constitution;-:hey were anti.
principles down TO the ioth December;
are the principles Of the National Repub.
lean party;-they are orR PRINCIPLES
