mittee believe that, in view of these princi-
pies, the people of the State of Mississippi |
should not and wiH not sanction doctrine
so subversive of public honesty and good |
iaith,-so oppressive and unjust to the inno-
cent and confding creditors of the State
That, in the opinion Of the committee, the
honor and good faith Of the State should be
preserved, regardless OF all pecuniary conse-
quences: That, the State is bound in good
faith to pay the amount of the bonds sold on
account of the Planters and Union banks
That, all acts having tendency TO repudiate
them, are not only in violation Of, and re-
pugnant to, the constitution and laws Of the
land and the faith Of contracts, but will re-
fleet disgrace and dishonor on this State, its
citizens, and our common country.

nominate an entire Wing ticket for all State
Offices.

effect by the Legislature.
3. Reaolred, That, if the Legislature, a
IFS approaching called Session, should la,
of The State into congressional districts, il

i miuee Of Nomination, whose duty il shall
n to present to the convention full and con

6 5. ResOEUed, That, the State Of Mss
u slppl has the power, under her constitution
5; to contract debts, and pledge the faith
Is the State for their payment, and that in Il
Pl exercise of that power, the State created Il
D. bonds sold for the use of the Planters an
= Union banks of Mississippi, and pledged h
II faith for their redemption.

le bonds notU by the State, would be repu
10 nant 10 law, and would cover the State wi
a lnfamy and disgrace.
", Z. ResOIDed, That, the doctrine of Rep
'e diation is Infamous in its origin unjust al
ID dishonest in IFS practice-and oppressi
le and impoltic in its promulgation, and shou
!" therefore be discountenanced by every he
IS est man, and especially by every wing.
All of which is respectfully recommends
