Alabama and Kansas.

The following are the preamble and reso-
buttons adopted unanimously by both
branches of the Alabama Legislature on
the l4th inst
Whereas, The people of Alabama, of all political
parties, in their primary assemblies and party con-
ventons as we'll as by the unanimous voice OF their
General Assembly, have heretofore announced the
following as among the fundamental principles of
their political creed:
That Alabama in their Judgement, win and ouph,
to resist, even (as last resort) to a dsrun,iop ~
every tie, which binds her to the Union any action
of Congress, upon the subject of slavery In the
District OF Columbia, or in places sutject 10 the
jurisdiction OF Congress- incompatible With the safe
ty, domestic tranquility the rights aud honor OF the
slave holding States, any act regulating the slave
trade between the salve-hodins States; or any re-
fusal TO admit as State, any Territory hereafter
applying, because Of the existence Of sidpery therein
any act prohibiting the Introduction of slavery
into the Territories OF Utah. or Now Mexico, or any
other act repeating materially modifying the Ia
now in force for the recovery OF fugitive slaves
And whereas, the Federal Constitutions, as well as
the Kansas Nebraska act plainly guaranteed to the
bono fde inhabitants of the Territory of Kansas
when their number was sufficient, the right TO meet
in a convention, composed either OF the people
themselves or of del gates chosen by them, and
wheE thus assembled, TO frame Constitution, With
or without slavery, as TO them might seem proper.
and with Constitution thus framed, TO demand an
unqualified admission into the Union, as a State:
And whereas, Kansas has exercised this plain
constitutional right and is exp eted to ask for ad-
mission into the Union, aud the fusal of Congress
10 receive her, would Do plain violation OF this
great constitutional right and Of the principles here,
In set forth, To the maintenance OF which Alabama
has been 30 often and o solemnly pledged:
Ther tore, while this General Assembly viii not
assume, Ia advance to dictate the course 70 be ta-
ken by the State OF Alabama, In the event Kansas
should be refused admission into the Union, they
nevertheless feel constrained by a high sense OF
duty, in the firm conviction that she will redeem
her pledges, and take no step backwards, to pro-
vile the means by which her people, In conven-
sion assembled, may determine their course OF ae-
ton. Therefore.
