Resofred, That the Democrats of Beaufort county
are strongly attached to the Union it was esab-
lished by fathers that have with regret
the efforts made by the Abolitionsts and others at
the North to weaken it by extending the powers OF
the Federal Government to subjects never committed
toit We believe the only way to preserve the Union
Is by scrupulous orbeaance to extend the exercise
of federal powers to objects not clearly within the
Jurisdiction Of the Federal Government, and by a
strict regard for the rights of the States.
Resolued, That we approve the holding of the pro-
posed convention in Baltimore, and while we deem
it unnecessary to give any instructions the dele
gate be there from this district it is because
of our confidence that he will pledge support
man whose views on the powers of the Federal
Government are not fully known, tand who will not
certainly maintain Constitutional rights.
ResoLued, That we authorize the Chairman to ap-
point Delegates to represent in the State Conven-
ton, proposed to be held Raleigh, and also in the
