The following resolutions were unsni-
InOuSly adopted BY the Democratic mem.
beFS OF the LegisIature Of New Hampshire
IN caucus assembled, July Sd, 1851:
ResOJced, That the people having found
the Democracy always faithful TO the
Union and the Consultation, and alone OF
ell the parties which have arisen In the
country, capable Of administering success
fully the g6vernment-in view Of the pres
ent and impending calamities, and in view
Of the inc0mpetsncy Of the party now in
power TO avert these calamities-must
necessarily rally around the Democratic
standard as the only means by which the
blessings Of peace can be obtained. the
Union be restored, and free institutions
preserved.
RcsOIred, That we will uphold and
maintain the Government and sustain its
present administration in ell Of its lawful
efforts to uphold and maintain the same
but that We cannot approve Of illegal or
unconstitutional acts Of the Executive,
however laudable may have been his mo-
tives; because we regard those acts as
subversive Of constitutional liberty, OH
the one hand, and on the other, Is i'm.
pairing the moral power which he, in the
exercise Of lawful authority. possesses for
the suppression Of treason and rebellion.
Res0Lved, That war alone cannot re-
store the Union, snd preserve our free IN.
stituti0ns that, at most, It can be only
an auxiliary thereto, and an auxiliary Ol
doubtful efficacy that until Congress has
assembled and all means Of peaceful ad-
justInent have been exhausted, the wal
should be limited to war Of defence.
Re'OLUed, That in our judgment the
deep-seated discomfort of the slavehoId.
ing States, consequent upon the slavery
agitation and the result Of the last Presi
dental election might have been quieted
by Cancellation, and by Q compromise
alike honorable to both sections, and thai
the Republican leaders and press mus

less course. In refusing to cOnciliate, and
rejecting all compromise, and In prefer
ring the preservation Of worthless party
platform to the salvation Of great aut
prosperous people from civil war and ma
tional ruin. -.
ResOlced, That VIC are unalterably op
posed to waging war Of conquest anC
subjugation upon the revolted States, fol
the purpose, or involving in its results
national consolidation and the extinguish
ment Of State s0vereiKntics.
ResOIced, That our Government, crea
ted by compromise, and by tho sam,
means repeatedly saved from impending
dissolution, by rejecting compromise. ha
caused itself to be rejected by larg
section Of the country that negotiation
and compromise must work the Festora
tion Of such government, and that il |
q palpable absurdity and an utter impol

To tie Hoa. Mr. Pennington, Speaker fhs H,pse

SIR: Having received official infor.
nation that the State Of Alabama,
a Convention representing
her sovereignty, has adopted and sign.
ed an ordinance resumiug the powers
heretofore delegated by her to the
Federal Government, therefore it is
proper, with her withdrawal from the
Union, that we withdraw our connec.
tion MS members Of this House, Il is
evident that Onr duty re.
qulres, ir obedience to her, that we
return to our homes and onr State.
The Georgia Senators and Repre-.

mom5ers left for home tonight.
Mr.. Corwin's harrangue. like that
of the Senator Of New York. did rot
come mp to expectation. Whenever lie
alluded TO coercion there was a sound
of dissent in the galleries, and many
did not understand him when he said
that he did not believe State, even a
seeding State, could be marched upon
by an armed force for the purpose Of
enforcing the laws, when doing so
would endanger the public peace. If
this is the belief OF the Republican
party, the sooner it becomes known
the better for the country.
