13 That this convention disappro,e of the late
congressional Legislation, by some called the COM
promise, and declare their strong and unequivoca
condemnation of the three following acts, namely;
the admission of California as State the division
of the State of Texas; and the law usurping to
congress the power to abolish slavery in the Dis
tries of Columbia under the fraudulent pretence OF
regulating the slave trade therein. These are re-
garded by US as an evidence of the determination
of the nor.h to trample upon the political rights OF
the southern States destroy The tr equality in the
Union, and place the government for all time to
come under the control of a fanatic and sectional
maior Y.
IA. That we can find no adequate excuse to JUS
tfy the majority in congress for forcing these
urcs upon US, and wanting in language to
express our condemnation of the southern Senator
or Representative, who voted for the admission oi
California, the division of Texas and the antiSla-
very act in the District of Columbia; while we as
emphatically approve the course of the Represen-
tatves who opposed their adoption and now
confidently appeal to the people of the State OF
Mississippi, Tor their verdict and judgment in the
premises.
Is. ResolUed, That the advocates of State Rights
the true friends of the South, and of the Union
and that no rlg hit can be clear or more essen
tlsl to the protection of the minority, than the
right of State peaceably to withdraw from the
Union, without denial or obstruction from anv
quarter whatever but whilst we assert the right,
We consider 1t the last remedy, the final al:erna-
tive; and also declare that the exercise Of it by
the State of Mississippi, under existing circunl-
stances, would be ineXpedient, and is proposition
which does not meet the appreciation OF this con-
vention.
Is. ReSotUed That it is source of heartfelt
graduation that the true friends of the const
tu ion and of the rights and honor of the south of
whatever party name, are now united IN common
cause and act together with cordiaity and sin
cerity.
