Whereas, more than at any other, precee-

Of the Union and the Constitution should de-
clare their sentiments, and seeing no reme-
dy for existing evils in the disruption of
the National Union, and believing that no
more perfect uDion can be formed than the
one under which we and cur fathers have
lived FOR more than seventy years, and hol-
ding as We DO that il is better to defend
our sovereign rights as one of the States of
the Union, even at the point Of the bayonet
mourning the consequences Of civil war if
need be rather than seek our rsmedy in dis
solution Of the Union; therefore,
RcSolrs9, That the preservation OF the T.
MON and the Constitution, intact, are with
