the tenure Of Slave property were BY fscogniton
of this kind secured that part South Of 30 30,
the South part would in a snort time open into
one or more slavehoding States 70 swell the NAM
t-r an6 power Of those already in existence.
ResolreS That it IS too plain Tor argument that
the SlaveboldiDg States would iose and the non
holding greatly gain by the surrender 10 the latter
Of the half Of Texas and that the payment 70

the most Of the money would come oui o. their own

El.eIred. That the s'ave-ho'ding States by be-
conf ing uuit as respects political or party o-gani
zstou separate from tie nonsaveholdlng : ates,
would place themselves in position oi great adgan
faee in 20 least three particulars First q ensoe

By quitting il into their power 70 throw undivided
might into the scale OF whichever parry tlen

Second IL would enable them o turn O. account

by the North, out Of their desire 70 terminate the

the worst came 10 the worst, 70 defend themselves
90 the best a0valtaPe and therefore 70 would ha,
the best sentiments q fraternity between The peo-
pie Of the North ana OF those OF the South
ReSolUed, Therefore, that the people Of the South
ought to drop old party distinctions In organization,
ana for the future let the test Of merit IN the DIFF
ferent candidates for office be this Ony-whch OF
them is likely TO DO the most good, IN friendly aud
fraternal part, by the South, and to this end the
Conventions both for the nomination OF State oih-
GERS and President and Vice President ought here
after IN he held UithOut r,,ereIca 10 their past
party relations.
Resolred That we therefore invite a Convention
Of the people Of the SlavehodBg States, on the 4th
Of June, for the purpose OF determining when
among the various aspirants for the Presidency and
Vice-Presidency ought to receive the sutrages OF
the Sonth.
Pesolred. That unless the Non-Slsveholdng
States at the ne xt session Of their respective Leg
istures repeal the laws which they have passed
obst1ucting the recovery Of fugitive slaves and also
take efectual, steps for the practical observance
by their citizens of the Constitutional stipulation
for the surrender of such Slaves, the Saveholdtng
States ought without delay to adopt measures OF
retaliation and non-intercourse.
Resolred, Tbst we have little confidence in the
efficacy ofany law which Congress may pass to Sc
cure the Observance OF this clause OF the Constltu
ton because public opinion at the Northis so much
onnosed 10 such laws that It could not be enforced.
WE look chiefly to the States themselves, who are
partes TO the stipulation, for the observance bat
any law passed by Congress- which gave to the fu-
gtve trial by Jury in the State to which he fed,
would, as a remedy, be mere mockery.
Res0lred, That in case a majority, negligent OF
the rights Of the South, pass any law which should
deprive her Of the part of California situated south
of 36o or cut off from Texas any part OF the Terri
tory lying within the boundary which she claims
as her own, or interfere with Slavery or the trade
in slaves in the District of Columbia then this Con-
vention on the - Monday after the passage of
such law should redssemble at -, for the pur-
pose of considering the remedy to be adopted for
redress Of the wrongs thus perpetrated.
