only three or four voting against them;
Whereas, recent events have directed the atten-
ton of our fellow citizens TO the relation of divine
10 human laws, and the duties of Christians in cases
where conflicts arise between them, therefore
HeSolued That to God a Supreme Lawgyer our
unconditional obedience is due and that no law con-
trary TO this is binding upon us.
ResolUed That human government is ordained of
God, and is designed to be the expression of His
will and therefore, a general rule, binds the con-
science of the citizen TO obedience.
RESOLVED, That, in those cases where, through hu
man ignorance or wckedness, the law of man con-
lcts with the law of God the latter is to be obeyed
and that each individual must decide for himself
whether not there is such conflict, his own con-
science being the supreme and final arbiter,

ORIGIN THE CRY "DIssOLvE THE UNION ~
Our attention. says the ~ Y Euening Post, has been
called to very curious piece of history relating to
the threat of the dissolution of the Union. An ac-
count of il is found in the Anti Compromise speech
of Senator Chase, delivered on the Goth of March,
1850. 1t seems that the expedient of extorng an
advantage from the fears of Congress- by declarations
OF an Intention to dissolve the conederacy il the de-
Inand is not complied with, is by no means a new
one Its success in one two instances has en-
couraged its repetition. MIR. Chase says of it in his
speech:
SIT is an old cry, not without profit TO those who
have used il. 1t first heard in the Congress of

Ireland, or the West Indies, with this remarkable
qualification, except rice, to Europe How came
this exception there Why, sir, the staple of South
Carolina was rice, and the delegates of South Caro-.
lima in that first Congress, when the struggle with
Great Britain was impending and union was all-im-
porant to its successful issue, threatened TO with
draw from the Congress and break up the Associa-
ton, unless South Carolina could he permitted to ex
