|. Whereas, The Central C mmittec of the OPP
position party Of Virginia having selected the l4th
Of December 1852 and the city of Richmond, as
the time and place for IL State Convention, we, a
portion of the Opposition party OF Nelson, dcening
it expedient that our county should be fully repre-
sened therein, hereby resolve that the President
of this meeting appoint ten delegates from each
magsteria district Of the county to represent it
the snid Convention.
. Resolved, That we will continue have
done, to advocate an economical administration II
the government. State and Federal and To oppose
any and all entertainments of any Department
thereof upon the constitutional authority Of ano-
ther. and especially any interference ON the pa;t
Of the Executive with the war or treaty making
power
g. And be it further resolved, that we scornfnl-
" reject and wage Il double war against the Will
Int Prorisoism of Seward, and the scarcely less
dangerous heresy of Squat,er Sovereignty of Doug
las, and are not willing to bow the knee to either
Baal that while we will maintain the constitu-
ional rights of the South yet We deprecate all un-
n'cessary sectional agitation, and look to the pre-
servation of our constitutional union rs the best
preservative of our republican institutions.
4. Resolved that the delegates appointed are
hereby instructed to oppose any and every eiluft
Which may be made to express n preference for
d. IL.
the Richmond Convention, believing rs we de-
that the time # its meeting is too curly to form Il
pNper judgement tn suitable candidates, and
such expression would tend needlessy. to distract
the harmony Of the party.
