Eesomd, That the General Assembly Of Wiz

Arm exercise of their reserved powers, 70 protect
the rights and liberties Of the people and TO pre-.
serve the federal union. For this purpose We
earnestly desire the concerted action Of the
Southern States, but the General Assembly res
pectfnlly submit to the consideration Of South

Deputies to the Conference proposed by South
Carolina.
Resolred, That the Governor Of the Common.
