it affords us unfeigned pleasure to observe
an increased determination to protect with
fidelity, and guard with fraternity, the con-
stitutional rights of the southern States of
this union.
ResOlOed, That we are deeply impressed
with the duty of sustaining in the South,
without regard to old party distinctions,
those who, in the spirit of national brother
hood, reject and rebuke that sectional in
justice which SO fearfully threatens our
rights as well as the longer continuance of
the Union itself.
.ResOlUed, That in view of the attempted
revival of the exploded doctrines of CONSOLE
dation and federalism, we especially rejoice
at the bold and unequivocal assertion, by the
convention of the Jefersonian doctrines,
N"laid down in the Kentucky and Virginia
resolutions of '98, and in the report of Mr.,
Madison in 49,"
ResOlUed, That, actuated by these feel
tings and motives, and believing the nomi-
Enees, Franklin Pierce and VIM. R. King, of
! the Democratic National Convention, to be
/ the most reliable opponents of the principles
we advocate, we will cheerfully unite in their
support, and we cordially invite the cooper
{ation, in this county, of the friends of the
rights of the South, of democratic equality
among the States, as we'll as individuals, I'M
der the pure conviction that the protection
