ands ought to be sacredly applied to the
RATIONAL objects specified in the Constitution;
nd that We are opposed to the law lately
.dopted, and to any law for the distribution 3
# such proceeds among the States, as alike
nexpedient in policy and repugnant to the
Constitutions
Resolced, That we are decidedly opposed
o taking from the President the qualified
leto power by which he is enabled, UNDER
restrictions and responsibilities, amply sufi-
,ient to guard the public interest, to suspend
he passage of bill, whose merits cannot
secure the approval oftwo-thirds of the Sem
tie and House of Representatives, until the
of the people can be obtained there
on, and which has thrice saved the Amcri
can people from the corrupt and tyrannical
domination of the Bank of the u States
Resolccd, That this Convention reports
and declares. Its full and firm adherence to
the kentucky resolutions of 1898, and the
Virginia Resolutions of 1893, as containing
and setting forth the fundamental principles
of Democracy, and that said resolutions be
published as part Of the proceedings Of this
FIRST OF KENTUCKY RESOLUTIONS or 1893.

]. Resolccd, That the several States COM
posing the United States of America, are not
united on the principle of unlimited submis-
sion to their General Government but that,
by compact, under the style and title Of
Constitution fer the United States, and of
amendments thereto, they constituted Cen
cral Government for special purposes, dele
gated to that Government certain definite
powers, reserving, each State to itself, the
reSiduary mass Of right to their own self
government and that, whatsoever the Gen
teral Government assumes undclegatcd pow
crs, its acts are unauthoritative, void, and
of no farce that to this compact each State
laceeded as Il State, aud Us an integral party !;
that this Government created by this com
pact, was not ntade the exclusive or final
Judge Of the extent of the powers delegated
| to itself; since that would have made It's
discretion. and not the Constitution, the
measure of its powers but. that, as in all
luther cases Of compact, among parties having
no common judge, EACH PARTY HAS
! AN EQUAL RIGHT TO JUDGE FOR
ITSELF, AS WE'LL OF ATTRACTIONS
AS OF TUE MODE AND MEASURE
