for or obedience to the Constitution or laws of
the Federal or State Governments violated
all their pledges to the people, by usurping
powers neither vested in them nor delegated to
the Federal Government; therefore,
Resolred, That it is the duty of all friends
of the Constitution and laws to demand
change in the administrative policy of the
Federal Government, if they would secure
rights, and re-establish the Union on the only
basis upon which it can permanently rest for
ages to come, to wit fraternal sentiment and
feeling.
/ Resolred, That we have no hope of our
country but in the People, who when their
will was properly expressed, have always been
J for the Constitution and the Unicn that we
have lost confidence in the President and his
advisers, as they have trodden under foot the
Constitution and laws Of the laud-arrested
| citizens in free government, without war
rant and without constitutional authority-in-
carcerated them in prisons without trial by
! jury, without the benefit of counsel, and with
ont the right of being heard in their own
defense.
/ Resolred That if the Union of the States is
to be preserved, land most earnestly do We all
hope that it may be perpetual) it can only be
/ done by sustaining the Constitution in its full
vigor, and holding the Judicial jurisdiction, as
the Constitution holds it, co extensive with the
Legislative authority if, by our adherence to
some false and glossy theories Of the day, we
yield up its powers, as victims on the altar Of
public favor or public g necessity" the Consti-
tuition will sink into premature aud hopeless
decline, and our liberties will be lost forever
Resolrea That it is the duty of Democrats
to discouutenance every attempt made by any
party to produce difficulties among the people
of the State; but that they will fearessly en-
deavor, by constitutional means, to redeem the
State from the contro of demagogues and
/ fanatics.

I pose eighteen additional names were affixed
