the seeded States for the purpose of compelling
obedience and submission to Federal authority.
ResoiUed. That we are in favor ofthe prcserva-
ton of the Union upon Constitutional guarantees
which will be acceptable to both sections of the
Confederucy: but if that desirable consummation
be impossible, then we are in favor of the re-

them and the United States Government. as the
only alternative which will terminate the hor-
rors of civil war and bring back peace and hap

California, as a member of the Union, to yield
obedience to al constitutional Act of Congress,
