Whereas the people Of the Untrd States, in order to
E,rr,a more ,crtcct nion-estnblist usccand ensure
domestic acknowledgements fr the common defence
promote the general welfare and secure the blessings OF
berty themselves and their pnstcrny-did orda'n ana
establish the Constitution Of the United States in which,
after solemn dciibproton and full dscussinn provision
was made recognizing the right of those States on which,
while they COLONIES: slavery had been imposed oy
Great Brtaia ad securing to them, respectively, re-
in the Federal Government, for persons held
to service in such Statcs-stabishing also, the right OF
dri,luals to reclaim sci persons who might escape
into another Sate-any law or regulation therein 10 Tie
! contrary notwithstanding:
1 A nd whereas Associations have been formed among
u.s. presses established, and publications Circulated TOR
the avowrd purpose of eccng the immediate abolition
Of slavery in the United States in direct violation OF
these provisions of the Constitution thereby putting in
;copardy peace, prosperity and safety of the nhabit
ants of the Southern Statcscndng to excite disquct
ude and disorder among the sares-cxaSperatlng one
section of the Union against another and thus creating
disarcun jealousy and d:strus dangerous 10 the we'll
being, and iica to the stability Of our National Con.
federation
And whereas, the Democratic party has been equally
firm and consistent in advocating and supporting the
rights of the People, and in defending the rights OF the
States believing both to be essential 10 the happiness and
prosperity of our common country:
Resocrd That each State on becoming party to the
Federal Compact reserved to itself all the powers and
attributes of sovereignty not expressly delegated by the
Consttulion-and that in respect to all powers not so
deeratcd they are free, sovereign, and independent
States-tat the relation Of Master and Slave, being
clusrely thin the jurisdiction, and subject only 10 the
Laws Of those States in which that relation exists the
General Goverucn alter affect that relation
Aud therefore, deem it not only unconstitutional but
highly improper aud cn!nently dangerous to the we'll
being and stability of the whole that citizens of one
State should inermeddc with internal regulations which
exclusively under the cognizauCe and within the
rsdction of a sister State. Jealous Of rights
would view with Indignation any interference in our
domestic that would have tendency the
remote introduce dscord and confusion, lead to
Instruction, and unhngc our political relations and
subject thousands OF towcitizenS TO ruthless rio
lence and indIScrinnate slaughter
Rsso:rcd That tho right of free discussion, and the
no
sacReD-yet, like all other rights in civilized nations
particularly among States, and above all. among mem
bers of the political amiy-thesc rights should be
exercised ia coaormywith the great the paramount,

deprccatc their exercise relation to the exciting ques-
ton Of saverythat 1t Is aggravated violation oil the

that they should do unto YOU Tor citizens OF one State
to form, regularly organzcd body, and systematically

ton with its consequent horrors III any OF our sister
Sta,rs-tat The authors and abcttors of such an anti
social and unchrslian conduct are. SO far as their mis-
pudcd zeal for tho abolition of slavery carries them hos
tile to the safety and kcrfness the peace and prosperity
of the Union-and if successful in their plans, woad
| ruin both the master ana The slave.
i;csaired That the Federal Constitution is binding
on all The States. and that will oppose and resist
ny attempt nuIiiy any Of its parts, whether
ting from the North the South the East or the West
that cherish and will guard it as the palladium OF
national greatness and glory, of secnrity-thc

And that regard every attempt to weaken
the sacred bond of Uaion Treason against the
People.
Resoired, That we will corporate with our fellow
