lon Thursday the goth ult., by Alr ScorT,
tof Fauquier, and which, When taken up in
the House of Delegates on the following day,
after an. animated debate, were referred, by
a vote of 81 to 81, to a select committee of
thirteen:
''Whereas, the States of New Hampshire,
Maryland and Indiana, through their con-
yentiops, and the State of Illinois through
her Legislature, have expressed their appro-
baton Of the series Of acts Of the late Con-
gress. commonly known as the COMPROMISE
measures, and declared their determination
to support the same as a final adjustment Of
the sectional controversy that has SO long
agitated the Union; and whereas the State
of South Carolina has expressed opposition
to those measures, and through her Legisla-
tare taken steps to send deputies to the
Congress of the southern States proposed BY |
t&e late Nashville convention, and in con
nexion Herewith, has provided for the as
sembling of a State convention to take into
consideration the proceedings and recommen- I
dation of the said Congress; and for the +
further purpose of taking into consideration T
theagcueral welfare Of that State in view of
her relations to the laws and Government of
been formally communicated to this General I
Assembly, it is deemed proper that this
State should make known to hersister States I
her sentiments respecting the same:
ssBe II Hei'efoa,e resolaed, BY the General
1ssemblY Of Erginid, That regarding the
said acts of the Congress of the Z . S.
as final adjustment of the exciting ques-
tons to which they relate, this State is will
ing to acquiesce in the same, and eherishes /,
the hope that, if fairly executed, they will
restore to the country that harmony and
confidence between its parts which of late
have been 50 unhappily disturbed
- That while this State sincerely SYM
pathizes with South Carolina in the feelings
excited by the unwarrantable interference of i
the people of some of the States with our
domestic Institutions; and whilst she cannot
approve of all the legislation of Congress-
touching the same, yet she perceives in the
present condition Of the country nothing to
Justify any action calculated to endanger the
integrity of the Federal Union. -
%. That in the language of the Farewell
Address Of the Eather of our Country, she
regards the unity of Government which
Constitutes US one people as q main pillar i
our real independence; the support of our !
at home, our peace abroad, of our
safety, of our prosperity, of that very liberty
which We 50 highly prize; and, watching
or Its safety with jealous anxiety, this State {
teems it duty to declare that she cannot !
mite insthe southern congress, nor in any !,
yay commit herself to the evident coise-
luences of such a measure; and she is con-
trained, respectfully but earnestly, to rel
with her sister State against any s.
ncditated secession on her part, which can II
lot but tend to the destruction of the Union, 81
nd the loss Of all the countless blessings :
hat spring from it. I
That the legislation of Vermont and P
ther non-slayeholding States, designed to34y
eprIYe the South of the only measure Off
he Compromise conceded for its protection, i
eserFes the se9erest reprobation, as pecH-t.L
ariy offensive to the southern States, as de- 4
ogatory to their rights, and fraught with s.
danger to tho Union. Il
.. That the Governor be requested to1tl
copies of these. resolutions to the =
executives of each of the other States, with 8
request that they be laid before their res 9 :.
