K Reso2ped, That the late Camprolrise lnesl-
Aures of Congrcs are now the law Of the land
and. demand inlperatiyely the acquicscence Of
all friends Of peace and of tho union; and
while we do not entirely approve Of the same
IN all respects, we are yet willing, for the
sake Of harmony and the common veal of all
the states to abide By those measures as a
permanent adj justmcnt of allsectional contro-
Eersies or issues growing out of the slavery
question.
Resolred, Thatino judgment, the State
of Mississippi will and ought to resist, casa
las resort even at the hazard of reVolu-
ton, any future act of Congress abolishing
slavery in the District of Columbia, or any
act abolishing slavery in places within the
states, purchased by the United
States for the erection of forts, dock yards,
arsenals, magazines, navy yards, and other
purposes; or any act to suppress the slave
trade within or between the slave holding
states; or any refusal to admit as a state any
territory, hereafter applying, because Of the
existence of slavery therein or any act to
prohibit the Introduction of slaves into the
territories of Utah and New Mexico; or any
act to repeal, materially modify, or in any
wise weaken the present fugitive slave law;
and alsothe failure Of the general govern.
ment to carry out, in good faith, any of the
late Compromise measures.
Resotoed, That holding the union of these
States secondary in Importance only to the.
rights and principles it was designed to per-
petrlate, so long as Congress shall forbear to-
trespass on the rights of the Southern States
in any of the cases above mentioned, and
shall leave the late Compromise bills undis-
turbed in any material features, we cordially
deprecate and disapprove of any future agi-
tation, and of any and all modes of resistance
open or covert, directed against said Com
promise Bills.
IPeso1ued, That whilst, under present cir
eumstances, we disapprove the action of the
Legislature in calling convention OF the
people of this State, yet such call having
now been made, we shall endeayor, in the
spirit of law abiding citizens, to promote its
proper asscmblage, and so far as in our power
Shall lay, to fill the same with delegates at
tached to the preservation of the Union and
Constitution as they are, and pledged to a
course of acquiescence in the recent plan of
adopted by Congress.
Resolpca, That We regard the present cri-
Sis and momentous questions now at issue, as
fully justifying the obliteration of all pre-
vious party differences and animosities, and
that we will unite, heart and hand, as a I'm
ion party, that we may thus endeayor more
efectually to preserve the glorious fabric of
government and of union left to US by our
fathers
Reso7ced, That we concur heartily in the
Of the Union State Con-
vention, assembled at jackson on the 18th of
November last, as to the necessity of a full
and active organization Of the Union men of
Mississippi, to the end that all n1ischievous|
agitation may be suppressed, and that the su-
premacy of the laws and constitution may
be fully vindicated and upheld.

mendation of candidates for election as del
egates to the approaching Convention of the
