following resolutions introduced in the South Carroll

principle of non intervention contained in the Kansas bill

the introduction Of domestic slavery in that Territory and
enforcing his views by argument thus abandoning
the very outset Of his administration, the rectude and
impartaty which beftted his station, and upon which
every section OF the Union had right insist throw
ing the weight of his official influence against the rights
derakng to serve the cause of reeso which he had thus
officially espoused by procamng that the constitution Of
Kansas being adopted should be submitted for rah
cation and by prescribing the class OF voters whom
only should be submitted, when the people OF Kansas,
acting through their legally appointed Convention alone had
the right 10 settle these questions for themselves Thirdly

the returns of the late election and thus bya naked
patton, changing its results and giving ascendency in
both legislative houses TO the party Of fanac over
the party Of the constituton-that for these unustna
BILE and iagtous acts Robert j. Walker deserves and re.
ceves the unqualified condemnation Of the State Of South
Carolina.

foundy regreltHg the failure eff the administration
Gov. Walker, and being wholly unable reconcile
such failure with the fidelity to the principle Of noniner
vention embraced in the Kansas bill and compelled

the best interests Of the South and the harmony Of the
confederated States.

maintain to the last extremity the right OF the people Of
Kansas acting through their legally appointed Convention
