mously adopted:
Resolced, That we approve the action ot
the Democratic State Central Committee, and
fully endorse the resolutions set forth and
published 10y said Committee.
ReS0lUed, That while we recognize the right
Of the people to change their form of gov
ernment, whenever the same has become op-
pressive or failed to accomplish the end and
object of all governments, to wit--the hap
piness and prosperity of the governed, we en-
tirely repudiate that monstrous politica
heresy called the right Of secession, whereby
it is claimed that any State may peaceablN
dissolve our Federal Union without the con
sent of the remaining States.
Resoiged, That it is duty of every Admin
istration to uphold the Federal Constitution
maintain the integrity of the Union, and a
all hazards enforce the laws in every section
thereof; and that it is the duty Of every cit
izen in these times of impending danger t
popular governments, TO stand firmly 10y th
government, the Constitution and the laws {
his country.
ReSolred, That we deem it our imperatv
duty, during the present great National crisis
to lay aside our distinctive political creed
and party platforms, until our National Gov
ernment is restored to its former unity anC
integrity; and that we cordial invite all true
patriots, and Union-loving men to cooperate
with us in the coming campaign.
ReSolged, That we discOuntenance and re-
| pudiate all efforts on the part Of secessoniss
and political demagogues towards the forma-
tion of Pacific Republic.

Georgia is told by Mr. Howell Cobb to be
at ease and go on planting, for Old Virginia
is to stand the shock and be the barrier.
Louisiana, Alabama, Missippi, have all in
many ways indicated a feeling of immense
relief since they have found that "our broth
