3. -ra, UNION RESOLUTIONS.
Mr.. BANNING of Ramsey, ioffered the
following concurrent resolutions, which
were read first and second time.
RcsoIoeG, by the Legislature of the State
Of Minnesota, that the time has fully come
when men and States, irrespective of Geo
graphical position, should promptly and
firmly decide upon the great questions of
preserving the Union and the adoption Of
such measures as shall insure its preser-
vati0n.
RESOLVED, That we hold the National
Government to be one established by the
people at large of the United States, and
tosthe full extent Of the powers invested in
the Federal Constitution, its laws and au-
thority are to be respected by, and enforc-
ed against, all persons within the United
States; and that all State laws and enact
ments contrary to, or in opposition to, its
authority are null and void and that Sc
cession, on the part Of any of the States, is
revolutionary and rebellious; and any
overt act, of any individual, to carry out
such reasonable design, by resisting the
collection of the revenues, the protection Of
the national forts, and the property of the
United States, or other resistance to the
laws of the Federal Government, is in no
way excused by any such act of sece ssion.
Resolved, That any amendment to the
Constitution, whereby the Union shall be
divided, would destroy all confidence in free
institutions, and place in jeopardy the
wealth, power and liberties of this peo-
pie.
:. Reso1oed, That while we earnestly coun-
sci and advise that no just means be left
unemployed to conciliate and avoid i'm
pending danger, we, at the same time. by
all lawful and just acts, and in accordance
with our eaths, pledge firm and prompt
support to the Constitution of the United
States, and in sustaining the Government
and authorities thereof, in all constitutional
measures necessary for the administration
