That II the opinion o. this Conventian that

the proper authorities depends The preservation oil eur
,~b,reas il is the fundamental principle of the
Democratic party that each State is sovereign, and
therefore entitled to the Obedience OF all It's citizens
when 1t announces It's Will And whereas 'hs party
is now satisfied that the will OF Georgia, as an
noupced by her Convention IN December 1850, is
also the will of the other Southern States, generally
and that any future attempt on the part OF any party

These Resolves were opposed by Mr.. Borio'
| (Union) as calculated to produce disorder and in
terrupt the harmony of the House, in the trans
action of their legitimate business. AT the prope
time and occasion, he was always willing ant
ready, he said, to unite with his associates to pro
mote the political interests Of the State, but h
was sure that the present time was not prope
for this purpose. The Yeas and Nays ben
