were passed with but five dissenting votes iu

Ger of 27th
The State of Georgia, in solemn convention,
having firmly fixed herself upon the principles
OF the compromise measures of 1850, relating
to the subject Of slavery in the Territories Of
the United States as final settlement Of the
agitation of the question, its withdrawal from
the halls Of Congress and the political arena,
and its reference to the people of the Terrific
ries interested therein and distinctly recognis-
ing in those compromise measures the doctrine
that it is not competent for Congress to impose
any restrictions as to the existence of slavery
among them upon the citizens moving into
and settling upon the territories of the Union
acquired or to be hereafter acquired; but
that the question whether slavery shall or
shall not form part of their domestic insti-
tutions is for them alone to determine for
themselves; and her present executive having
reiterated and affirmed the same fixed policy
in his inaugural address
Be 1t resolred By the Senate and House of
Representatives of the State of Georgia IN ge,,-
crat assembly met, That the legislature of
Georgia, as the representatives of the people,
speaking their will and expressiong their feel
ings, have had their confidence strengthened
in the settled determination of the great body
of the northern people to carry out in good
faith those principles, in the practical applica-
ton of them to the bills reported by Mr.. Doug
las, from the Committee on Territories, in the
United States Senate, at the present session,
proposing the organization of a territorial gov
ernment for the Territory of Nebraska.
And be II further resolDed, Thatour Senators
in Congress be and they are hereby instructed,
and our representatives requested, to vote for
and support those principles, and to use all
proper means in their power for carrying them
out, either as applied to the government Of ;e
Territory of Nebraska or in any other bill Tor
territorial government which may come before
them.
Resolred further, That his excellency the
governor be requested to transmit copy of
these resolutions to each of our senators and
in Congress.
