tions of the federal goyernment-to
maintain them it is the sense of this Con-
vertion that the territories should be di-
vided and treated as property, and divi-
ded between the sections of the Union as
the rights of both sections, and be ade-
quately secured in their respective shares;
that we are aware, this course is open to
great objections, but we are ready to ac-
quiesce in the adoption of the line SO 80
North latitude, extending to the Pacific
ocean. all extreme concession upon the
considerations of what is due to the sta
bility of our institutions.
Twelfth. Resolved, That is the opin-
ion of this convention this controversy
should be ended, either by the recogni-
ton of the constitutional rights of the
Southern people, or by an equitable par
tition of the territories; that the specta-
Gle of a confedarcy of the States involved
in quarrels over the fruits of war in
which the American arms were crowned
with glory is humiliating; that the incor-
poration of the Wilmot Proviso in the
offer of settlement is a proposition
which the Southern States regard as dis
paraging and dishonorable, is degrading
to this country; the termination of this
controversy by the destruction of the
confederacy would be climax to the
shame which attaches to the controversy,
which it is the paramount duty of Con-
gress to avert.
Thirteenth. RESOLVED That this Con-
venton willnot concede that congress vii
adjourn without making an adjustment of
this controversy.
