States and Territories where the same may exist Tha
we regard attempts of the abotonsts OF the north

ing Institution or by denial to the people of the States
hostile to the recognised sovereignty of the people
as ePugnant the welfare OF that Union which had
ITS origin in Just consideration and Acknowledgements

Resolved, That there but three modes of terminating
