Just that His justice cannot rest forever
that considering numbers, nature and ma
tional means only, Il revolution of the wheel
OF fortune, an exchange Of situation is among
possible events; that it may become probable

has no attributes which can take sides with
us in such contest ' Aud as TO which
another eminent patriot in Virginia, on the
close Of the Revolution also exclaimed clad
we turned our eyes inwardly when we sup
plcated the Father Of Mercies to aid the in
iured and oppressed, when we invoked the
Author Of Righteousness to attest the purity
of our motives and the Justice Of orr cause,
and implored the God Of hattlcs to aid our
exertions in its deicnse, should we not have
stood more self convicted than the contrite
publican -
Pcsolccd, That the history of the Consti-
tuition, and particularly the enactment Of the
ordinance, July 3, 1857, prohibiting Slavery
north of the Ohio. abundantly shows it to
have been the purpose of our fathers not to
promote but prevent the spread of Slavery
and. that the Constitution Of the United
States gives 70 Congress full power for the
municipal government of the Territories
thereof, Il power which from its nature can
not be either aliyntted or abdicated without
yielding up to the Territory an absolute poll
teal independence, which involves an absur
! dity.
Reso1ocd, That the repeal of the al Mis-
| souri, Compromise, contained in the recent
act of Congress for the creation of the Terri
tories Nebraska and Kansas, thus admitting
Slavery into region. till then scaled against
| it by law, equal in extent to the thirteen old
States, is destructive of mutual confidence be-
tween Che States Of this union-exposing the
Union itself to imminent dangor-is lmcon-
| sistt,t V.iIl, bu iupllInunt,,l mimi ,Ia Of
natural Justice, and destructive of all conf
dence in the integrity, good faith and honor
of the National and state Governments favor
| ing such repeal.
Resolrcd, That in voting for this bill,
every member of Congress from the free
States has betrayed the rights of the North,
proved recrernt to humanity and freedom,
violated the will and outraged and feelings of
his constituents, and richly deserves the con-
domination of mankind that in approving
and signing it the President has eaten Ills
own words and violated the principles repeat
eddy ayowed in his public speeches, on the
subject of slavery, delivered in 1915, 40 and
81 and that all who aided in it's passage
have violated the pledges of both political
parties, and the President himself promising
to discountcnance and frown upon every eli
fort to revive the Slavery agitation.
Pesoircd, That the passaga Of this bill. in
connection with other measures now earnest
