OF Congress, commonly called the ;ugtve save la"
is in exact accordance with the constitution Just and
fair in each and all Of its PROVISIONS ana eney con-
sistent with the usages OF law ~ othei VASES y
like kind and therefore is liable TO no ooection
which does not lie against the Constitution itself that
to renea n or materially alter its provisions, would be
an act oF ininsce and bad faith, well calculated to
alarm the whole ofthe avehoidlng States to destroy
their confidence in the honesty and fair purposes of
the neonle of the States concurrng in such repeal
aItaraton and produce snch alienation and distrus
&C would render the further maintenance of the Union
very difficult, if not utterly impossible.
s. Resolred That the faithful execution of the fu-
gitive slave law, in the flee States, is necessary to
the preservation of The Union-isa plain duty bind
ing on the government and people of the United
States demanded by every consideration of Justice
and fair dealing-and cannot be denied or evaded
without manifest violation of fundamental condi-
ton of Constitutional nion worthy the Amer
lean character and not to be patiently borne by Amer
lean freemen. But con6ding in the Justice and pat
riosm of the great body of the people of the free
States, this GENERAL Assembly will not anticipate
sad and unwecome event as the repeal, essent-
al modification, or non-execution of this Law nd
therefore declines to declare what measures
should, or would in that event, be taken by the peo
pie OF North Carollna--such declaration being
lily Interpreted into premature menace upon a con-
tngency which may never happen, and likely to aid
in producing the very state of things to which il
would refer, and which all good and patriotic men
sincerely desire to prevent.
8. RESOLVED, That in any event which may happen,
this General Assembly does not doubt that the people
OF North Carolina Will be found prepared to adopt,
with GOODNESS and wisdom, and maintain with steady
frmness and perseverance, such measures as the
