vital Importance, upon which all southern men
should unite:

patriotic men who have boldly maintained the
compro misses of the constitution in the midst
j of the nfuriated fanaticsm of the North.
Resolved, That this State is determined to
resist any further encroachments upon her con
stitutonal rights.
Resolved, That in the event the federal gov

provisions of the fugitive slave law. or refuse OF
enforce its execution in good faith, it will a.
mount to a virtual dissolution of the Union I;
and that it will become the duty Of this State to
