The Committee on Resolutions reported
series in effect, as follows:
ReSolrek, st. That the watchworl which
should animate the democracy in the de-
/ fence of our imperilled country. is the
sentiment of Jackson, that the Union
must be preserved
I'd. That the claim to relinquish the
| State allegiance is unwarranted by the
/ Constitution, and at war with it III letter
and spirit and incompatible with good
government; and the Democracy ever
| maintained, and still do, that secession is
revolution.
3D. Through the seizure OF the forts and
property OF the Government. followed by
the authorization Of privateers, precipith-
ted the country into war.
.lth. 1t is the duty Of Goveroment to
prosecute this WARMTH all its power and re-
sources, and the duty Of the people to rally
to its support until the struggle ends with
the triumph of the Constitution and laws,
and the restoration of the Union.
5th. That we hold next in guilt to the
faction .iu arms, the Northern agitators.
9th That it was the duty of Congress to
have encouraged the loyal citizens of the
South by ample guarantees of their rights
and by just and honorable concessions,
and we believe it to he the duty OF the
Government while putting down the re-
bellion to offer To the loyal Fe 'plrl OF the
dSaGected States the remedy which the
Constitution itselfprOviGcS, viz: c"nvcn-
tiUn of all the States tor the revision and
amendment of that instrument.
It'll. The Democracy Of this State regar!
any attempt to pervert this conflict into a
war for the emancipation of slavery as
fatal to all hopes for the restoration of the
Union.
Sth. That we protest against the doc
trine that any power except the rcpreScn-
tatives of the people can suspend the writ
Of hahcas corpus, and protest against tn"
passport system, against the Government
establishing State police, against the as
sumption Of the Government to rcpreSS the
discussion OF its policy by free press, by
the refusal to afford it the proper mail fn-
cilitics, and finally protest against the Pre-
sidents doctrine that the States derive
their authority from the Federal Govern
mcnt.
The last resolution concludes MS follows :
That Il Democratic victory in this State
will be hardly less auspicions to the cause
of the Union than the triumph of the Fed
eral arms in the field therefore we hold
tho C who are trying To create discussions
in the ranks of the Democracy, as not only
trcacherous to its principles but disloyal to
their country.
