obiect-the dissolution Of the Union?
From the Daily Globe Of The gth August
aR. MAYrs aEg0LUTI0S.
Aa an incorrect report of MIR. Mays
resolutions, offered in Ehe House OF Rep
rasentaaives On the 5th inst, was made at
the time, we nov repahlish them from the
official report;
Whereas, the Government Of the Unit
ed States Of America was created by it's
written Constitution, and derived its pow
ars alone from the consent of the people,
as contained in that instrument, aud it
has no other powers, and force and arms
can neither preserve nor rightfally be
permitted to violate the Constitution I'M
der any authority whatsoever, and where
as Washington and other great sages and
patriots, who founded our General Gov
ernmant, solemnly warning their country
men, predicted its destruction from the
establishment of sectional political par
ty ; and they also entreated spirit of
compromise whenever necessary 10 pre-
serve the Union and whereas civil war
Bow exists among the States which have
been united, and which. having already
prosperity and happiness Of the people,
and destroyed many valuable citizens,
now threatens their destruction in count
less numbers, and by It's Inevitable ten
deney, il not necessity, the hnal overthrow
Of free constitutional government: There
fore,
l. Be ii resolged, That the success Of
the Republican party, founded, as 10 is,
on a sectional, social and political ques-
ton, is justly responsible For the origin
Of our present national misfortunes.
2. That the incorporating spirit
hitherto manifested By the representative s
Of that party has prevented a peaceful
compromise and adjustment Of our unhap-
py difficulties when the same Is praotica-
bic.
3. That il the present war continues,
the only safety and refuge of constitution
al government and civil liberty will be
fonnd in the constitutions and sovereign
ty of she several States, and afterwards,
through them, the only hope of future
and more harmonious reconstruction OF
the Union.
! 4. Thss it IL impossible BY arms to
subjugate the people Of the seeded States
united as they are in such numbers, sc
/ fully prepared and resolved, and actuatsd
| BY motives which represent the Just pride
and dignity OF equals, of freemen, Of
American citizens and also believing, g.
/ they do to a man, that State, home, wife,
children, property, all and every security
aud benefit OF Government Is at stak, aud
that the most cruel and mcgeiless means,
forced by the necessities OF an exhaustlng
and desolasing war, are to be employed
against them.
5. That IN view of all these public Ca
lamitiss, aud to avoid them, recognising
the necessities which control human
affairs, Is our fathers of the revolution
did, il becomes the duty of Congress, be-
fore it closes its present session, to pro-
vide for the appointment of commission
eES 10 procure an aEmissiCe between the
contending armies, and restore peace q;
all events and who shall be empowered
TO arrange compromise to preserve tbs
Union IL possible; but If not, then q
