and Resolutions. which were unanimously adontad
WHEREAS, it has pleased the Ruler Of the I'M
verse to remove from amongst us JOIN Exum Eoo
for many years member of this body from H.
County OF Wayne, and who at the time Of his des%
was member elect to this branch Of the Genea
Assembly;
Resotued, That while we bow with resignation ;.
the :decrees of Hin who holds our destinies in Ha
hands, we desire to express our deep regret at h.
death, and to give this feeble testimony Of esteem
The memory OF one who had for a long period oftms
served his country with fidelity and zeal.
ResolOed, That the foregoing Preamble and Resell,
tons be spread on the journals of the Senate, and
the Speaker be requested to cause copy of them ~
be forwarded to the family of the deceased
Mr.. Shepard introduced the following Resoluti u
Resolped, That the Constitution of the J,nn,j
States was a compromise of conflicting interests ~
dained and established by the people of the Sever,
States IN order to form more perfect Union e,I
Esh justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide f.
the common defence, promote the general ice!yar. an
secure the blessings of liberty to all the parties %
that whenever its provisions are so perverted
changed that it fails to secure those objects to II.
weakest member of the confederacy, it ceases h%
the constitution agreed to. and becomes the creai
of the whims and caprice of dominant majority Al
en- in INTEREST," to the oPrressed-the most dangerp
and intoerant of all Governments.
Resolued, That although we love the Union of fl
States and view its destruction as great caamir
we nevertheless regard the right 10 secede from;
as right Of sef-defence and protection, which
people of North Carolina have never surrender
aud never can surrender, with due regard to M
own safety and welfare and that whenever maim
ty of the people of North Carolina shall solepDly
solve that they cannot safely remain in the Union
is not only their right but it is their duty TO Seed
and punish such of her citizens as refuse subns,t
| to her will, rebels and traitors.
| ResoiUed. That when we claim the ri0ht of CO..
a t0 he nd .
dered by the Constitution, we believe it TO be ana
IRENE remedy and one that should not be resorej,
unless all means to preserve the Union. and to pps
the property and insure the welfare of the peoJ
/ have manfestly failed.
! Resolred, That the fugitive slave bill lately pss
by Congress. is in conformity with the provisions
the Constitution and that its repeal any ateraf
tending to impede the owner of slave from retain
his property. will be regarded undoubed andst
cient evidence that majority of Congress are UNI
strained by the express provisions of the CoBd
ton, and that time has arrived when il becomes
duty ofthe people of North Carolina to decide WIZ
er they will submit to an unlimited governmental
sst its entertainments, boldly and effectualIy.
Resoiued, That property in slaves being recogI
! both by the Constitution of North Carolina ana
the United States, it is as much the duty ofthe
Eeral Government to defend and protect Slave pro
ty as IT is its duty to protect and defend any
species of property and that any action of thf
eral Government preventing the emigration of
; property to any territory of the Union is
upon such property, tending ultimately to desh
by the slow but sure process of circumscrbingl
preventing its removal TO territories better adapf
its Profitable occupation than where it now is I'D
A. RESOLVED, That the injustice done to the ~ B
bholdng States by the late admission of CalifonlF
to the Union would never have occurred, had
South been united. We therefore invite the COD
ton of the save-hoding States in demanding
the Government an adequate protection for
slave property as may emigrate to any tPrriO1f
longing to the United States. or should ith #
advisable. an equal division of such territory BET
the slave and the non-saveholding States of thel
