 a The undefsigned.e delegafes from tbt. State of Texas, would respectfully protest against the aie actioii 5i this Convention, in refusing to adopt ihe report of the ma iority of the Committee on Resolutions. which operates as the virtual adoption of principles affirming doctrines n opposition to the decision oi the Supreme. Court in the Dred Scott case, aud in conflict with the Federal Constitution, as especially opposed to the platform of the Democratic party of Texas, which declares 19s
 l. That the Democratic party of the State of Texas reafirnl and concur in the principles contained in the platform of the National Demociauc Convention he'd at Cincinnati in June, 1856, and true ex- prsssion of political faith aud opinion, aud herein reassert and set forth the Principles therein contained, as embracing the only doctrine which can preserve the integrity of the Union and the equal rights of the States, :" expressly rejecting any tntapre- tafion Mereof fauoring the doctrinc known as Squatssr Sopereig,lty," and Una, we will continue to adhere to and abide by the principles and doctrines. of ihe Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of l79S- -99, and MT. MadIson's report thereto. p That it Is the right of every citizen to take his property Of every kind, includ- Ing slaves, into the common territory, be- longing equally to all the States oi' the Confederacy, and to nave it's protecnon there under the Federal Constitution. Neither Congress nor a Territorial Legis- iature, nor any human power, has any authority, either directly Or indirectly, 10 impair these sacred rights; aud they hav- ing been affirmed by the decision of the Supreme Court in tie Dred Scott case, we declare ina, il IS the duty of the Federal Government, ,he common agent of all the States, to establish such Territories, and so change the. same from lime to time, as may be necessasy to insure protection and preservation of tilese rights, and prevent, every lnfaihgment of the same The amrmaion Of this princlple Of the duty of Congress 10 simply. protect the rights of property, IS nowisel Tn conflict with the heretoiote estahIist4d and well organized priuciptes oi tue Democratic party, that Congress does not possess the power to leglsla'e slavery intolhe Territories, or 10 exclude Il lhereirom.sat wsf8RW RI
