Preamble and Resolutions adopted by the South
eyn Rights Convention.
The preamble to the Constitution of the United
States declares the objects for which the govern
ment of the United States was formed Those OBJ
jects were ''to form a more perfect Union, csta-
blish Justice, domestic tranquility, provide
for the common defence, promote the general well
fare and secure the blessings of liberty TO ourselves
and our poSteTity''
Those objects in our opinion, have been wilfully
disregarded in the administration of the govern
ment-commencingw with the law admitting Missou-
ri into the Union, and closing with the late system
of measures, mscalled the compromise.
The pretence upon which this system of hostile
Legislation has been based, is that slavery is mo-
raj and political evil-its end and aim the emanci-
patton of every slave in the United States.
The government is in the hands of a sectional
majority, and political interests and Conscientious
convictions of duty alike urge them to the success
