i. Resolyed. That the aggressive measures Of
| the Federal Government, in connection with va
rious exhibitions Of public sentiment by the people
Of the North, through their State Governments
and otherwise, for series of years, indicate, in our
opinion deep rooted hostility to the interests OF
he South, and a settled purpose TO deprive the
Southern States on account Of their peculiar inst.
u ions, of their original rank as Soveregns and
equals in this Confederacy; and that the lnevl!a-
be result of such proceedings, If allowed to nike
heir course, must be ultimately the entire aboli-
ton Of negro slavery IN the South, and the cree
iion, in place OF our Federal Union, OF Console
da,ed Government, alike despolic and irrespon-
sible.
