The following resolutions, offered by
Gen. G. M. Price, we're adopted
1. Resolred BY the democracy Of Kinds
county, in convention assembled, That the
measure introduced by Gent Briscoe, at
the called session Of the Legislature in
July, lS43, commonly called The Brscoe
bill, is measure sanctioned by the Con.
stitution Of this State; that it is merely
declaratory Of the law as solemnly settled
by an uninterrupted series Of judicial de-
cisions for centuries past, and that justice,
honesty, and equal rights require its enact
ment by the legislature, and its enforce
mcnt by the courts.
Resolped, That the contracts made by
our felow-citizens with the banks, have.
been vigorously enforced; that the Bank
attorneys and others, favoring the intc-
rests Of the banks, have been clamorous
for the last six years for the law; that they
have, for the whole Of that time, strenus
ously insisted that the law should take its
course, no matter what were The embar-
easements or misforlunes of Bank debtors,
produced mainly by the false currency cre-
ated by the Banks themselves; and now,
that the Banks are on trial ON their con.
tracts with the government, the people
have a right 10 demand, and as portion
Of the people we do demand, the same ap-
pication Of the law Of their contracts with
the banks which has been made in their
behalf against their debtors.
Resolred, That the law is part of eyc-
ry contract, and if the law, as ii existed
when the Banks obtained their charters,
were now permitted to take its course,
without the interference o. tampering OIL
the legislature, the courts, upon forfeiture
established, would be bound to pronounce
according to law, all debts to the banks Ut
terly extiuguished their personal proper
~ 70 be vested in the State, and their
lands 20 revert 10 their grantors.
Resolrcd, That the principles Of law
declared in the foregoing resolutions, have
been unanimously upheld and sustained
by the High Court Of Errors and Appeals
Of this State.
Resolred, That the amendment 10 the
Briscoe bill is unconstitutional, null, and
void that il changes the law Of contracts
annuls the legal consequences Of judy
ment at law; compels A to pay debt to
B which he had contracted TO pay TO @;
diyests property out Of the State which
