Resolved, That The Constitution 0f The

by The people Of The several States in or.
der 10 form : more perfect Union. esfab-
ish justice, ensure domestic tranquility.

agreed 70. and becomes the creature of

joriiy, alien in interest 10 the oppressed;
the most dangerous and inlolerant Of all
Governments.
Resoired, That although we lore The
Union Of the States and view ils deslruc
ton as q great calamity. we nevertheless
regard the right TO secede from il, NJ
right of self defnce and protection. which
The people Of North Carolina have never
surrendered. aud never can surrender.
with due regard to their own safety and
welfare, and that whenever maloriiv Of
people Of Nortli Carolina shall solemnly
resolve that they cannot safely remain in
the Union. il Is not only their right but II
is their ,lnry to secedc and punish such
Of her citizens as refuse Submission 10
| her will. as rebels and traitors.
| Resolued, That when we claim The
right d secession as a right reserved 10
the people and not surrendered BY The
/ Constitution. we believe il In be an ex.
IRENE remedy, and one that should not be
resorted to unless all means 10 preserve
The Union. and 10 protect the property
and insure the welfare Of The people, have
manifesllv failed.
Resoiued, That the fugitive slave bill
lately passed by Congress is in conformi-
Is with The provisions Of The Constitution.
and thai its repeal or any alteration tend
ing 10 impede The owner of slave from
rciakine his property. will be regarded as
undoubied and sufficient evidence that a
majority Of Congress are unreslrained by
the express provisions Of the Constitution.
and that time has arrived when il be-
comes the snly Of the people Of North
Carolina to decide whether they will sub
nit to an unlimited government or resist
its encroachmenls, boldly and effeclual.
Is.
!. Resolced, Tha, properly in slaves be.
ing recognised both by The Constitution
of North Carolina and Of the United
States, il 10 as much the duty Of the Fede-
raj Government 10 defend and protect
Slave properly as !, is lis duty TO protect

:. and thar any aciinn of the General Gov
