RIGHTS OF THE SOUTH.
Mr.. ATHERToN rose and asked leave to submit
the following resolutions:
Resolced, That this Government is Government OF
limited powers and that, by the Constitution OF the
United States Congress has no jurisdiction whatever
the institution of Slavery in the several states Of
the Coniederacy.
Resolred That petitions for the Abolition Of Slavery
in the District of Columbia and the Territories OF the
United States and against the removal OF slaves from
one state to another part OF plan OF operations
set on foot to affect the institution OF Slavery IN the
several states and thus indirectly to destroy that inst
tuition within their limits.
Resolred That Congress has right to do that ndi
rectly which il cannot do directly and that the aga
ton of the subject of Slavery in the District Of Coum
bia or the Territories, means and with the view oil
disturbing or overthrowing that institution IN the sew
eral states is against the true spirit and meaning OF the
Constitution an infringement of the rights OF the states
affected and breach of the public faith upon which
they entered into the Confederacy.
ResOlred That the Constitution rests on the broad
principle Of equality among the Members oil TINS Con
ederacy and that Congress- in the exercise OF ITS &C
cknowledged powers has right TO discriminate be
tween the institutions OF portion OF the states ana
another with view Of abolishing the one and promot-
ing the other.
Resolred therefore, That all attempts on the part OF
Congress TO abolish Slavery in the District OF Column
ba or the Territories or TO prohibit the removal oil
slaves from State to state 10 discriminate between
the institutions of one portion Of the CoRederacy and
another with the views aforesaid, in violation oil
the Constitution, destructive of the fundamental primer
pie on which the Union of these States rests ana be-
yond the jurisdiction of Congress and that every pen
al
ing or relating in any way 10 any extent Whatever 10
slavery aforesaid, or the abolition thereof snail on
the presentation thereof without any farther acton
thereon, be laid upon the table WITHOUT oehs ucoatcu
