then, The right should only be resorted TO. when every
other means OF redress had been unavaiingly tried.
o. Resofced, That the late Proclamation and subse-
quent Message o.. the President of the u. States, touch
ing the proceedings OF South Carolina, is an utter depar-
ture from the principles OF the foregoing resolutions; di-
reetly at war with the Republican doctrines of 1898, and
tend, IN their ultimate consequences, TO the destruction of
every portion oil night and sovereignty on the part OF the
States, aud TO the establishment of one great Consolidated
government, unlimited in its powers, knowing no other
restraint than that OF its own gracious pleasure.
u. ResOfued, That the present is a time, when the doc.
trine OF State rights, Gas tits usually called is in danger of
almost utter humiliation from the powerful influence of a
popular President. and imperatively calls for the spirited
and determined support OF all its friends; aud that those who
can sit passively by and hear those sacred rights denounc-
eu' from however elevated a source that denunciation
may come, without one word in their defence, are totally
unworthy of the confidence of a republican people.

ed by John Tyler, Esq. in the Senate of the United
states IN his speech against the Force Bill as sound aud
constitutional, and that we approve Of his general course
