: SENATE.-Jan. 18th. Mr.. Grover offered
the following preamble and resolutions; and
said he offered them after consideration and
ad visemeut with various members of the
General Assembly, whose opinions they en-
f braced, as we'll as his own, upon the mo-
mentous issues involved. -st.- -. g.
d He moved that they be printed, aud re-
ferred to the Committee on Federal Re

Fl Which motion was adopted. The reso-
r iutions are as follows:
i In times of war, as in peace, the Constitu
4 tion of the United States is the supreme Law
I of the land 1t prescribes the powers of tht
{ Government in its executive. no less than il

C. restrictions under any pretence Whatever.
g. The maxim that Governments deriV

a governed" is one which we ought never
a. forget. 1t involves fundamental princip
of freedom-one asserted by our ancestor
tn and for whieh they fought and won our il
