yictions OF tho i'm policy of the war now psi
waged by the North against the South, t. entel
our solemn protest against the arbitrary, lille
gal and oppressive action OF the AdMinistra
ticn towards orr fellow citizens; we therefor
proclaim the following as the principles upsI
which we act:
1. Resolued, That the Union of the States
which was founded by consent, cannot h,
main tanned by force, and war upon her people
cannot restore the loyalty of a State.
2. That war is dtsunion ard ruin, not restor
alton; that its commencement has Glread,
paralyzed the energies Of this State and {.
prosecution will bankru pit and impovorish hel
people
8. That the liberty of tho citizen is of 10 f.
nitely greater value than the Union of the
States. and that the Consti'u ton and Union
formed under It ara valuable oaly as it af
fords protection to the lives and liberties of
the people, and that we cannot uphold, but
most earnestly condemn, any course which
leads TO the Sacrifices of the one for the preser
walton of the other.

bitrary power, we dsIounce the unia wtui ar.
