Resolutions adopted by the Great Peace
5s' "a Meeting in New York 1859
Resolued, That the electors and people OF
the State ofNew York who have hitherto
protested the name and held to the ptinci-
pies known as democratic, desire to- declare
! their unalterable attachm ent as we'll to those
truths as to the Constitution and the amend
meuts thereto forming the supreme law OF
the land; that they regard obedienee to the
Constitution as alike the duty of the citizen
and the magistrate. and regaFd such obedi-
ence as the only means of pepetuating the
Union and by it the only hopesof restoring
the same. .iIIt r Fi sifssR ihe5 1aE esR 20 e,
ResoZved. That the sovereignty of the
States and the sovereignty of the people, as
H laid down in the Virginia aud Kentucky
resolutions, Of which j effsrson and Madison
were the authors, are the fuadamentalprln-
ciples of the Democratic party; that they
are the vital essence of the Constitution,
pervading every line and provision Of that
instrument, and to deny them would reduce
our political federative system to anarchy
or despotisui. (Cheers.)
Res9zved, That, under the Constitution,
there is no power in the Federal Govern
m ent to coerce the States, or any number of
them, by military force. If power of coer-
cion exists at all, it is a legal power and not
military. That the Democratic party, if
true to its own time -honored principles, can
not sustain a war against sovereign States;
that we believe it to be the duty of the party
to proclaim, these sentiments boldly, that
the people, may feel that there is at least
one political organization which will deal
honestly, Independently and truthfully with
them. s.. 49, ~. r-
Resozuea, That the war in. its inception
and furthes continuance, being contrary to
the Constitution. must necessarily fast con-
sumo all the elements of union; and hence,
that our duty as citizeps, our obllga tlpns as
men, and cur relations to our common father,
alike demand that an end should be put to
what is repugnant to the law, abhorrent to
the humanity and civilization OF TINS en-
lightened era, and inconsistent with the be-
nignant spirit of morality and religion
i (Cheers.) .it ,,ss+4,y .tff res,. s ~ -..-..
Resolusd, That the. attempt to do away
with the provisions of the Constitution,
which point out the mode in which all
crimes are to be punished. or higb-handed
violation of the sworn duties of our rulers,
and that the,partipants in such policy, are
guilty of aiming a parricidal blow at the
very life of the supreme law. .rsf.-
81 Resolve9, That the claim of dictatorlal and
unlimited power, under the pretext of mill
lary necessity and the trial of citizens not
in the land or naval forces or in the militia
in actual service, by. Court-martial, are
monstrous in theory and execrable in prac-
tice. (Applause.) That it is equivalent to
an entire abrogation Of the Constitution and
the erection in its place of amllitary despot'
ism. ---------------
Resolved. That the dogma of unlimited
submission. to the will OF the executive
branch of the Government is unworthy an
American citizen, and, inconsistent with
the principles of constitutional liberty
Icheersl-that such concession is rather
suited to the dark and sullen era of feudal
rdespotism than to time when the rights
of man are regarded even by monarchs' and
we attribute this exhibition ofabject servil-
i.v as dictated by spirit of fauaticism bent
on effe citing its object even, at the sacrlhce
of personal liberty. "Hurrahn'
Resozged, That we should be unworthy
of the name of American citizens OF this
free and independents State, claiming the
first rank hong the sovereign ponents
of the Am etican Cpnfederacy, if we did not
protest against the ,cowardly, despotic, iuhu-
man and accursed act which has consigned
tn banishrnent the noble tribune of the peo-
ple-the Hon. Clement L. Vallandigham.
Icheers,l the audience. again rising IN, the
utmost enthusiasm "Three cheers for
Vallaudigham,"l We protest against 1t In
the name of liberty, in the name OF. ihu-
manity and the name of Washington. We
hope the people of Ohio will have the op-
portunity of passing condemnation of this
act by the election of r.Vallandigham as
the next Governor Of the State. cheers.
Resulued, That thus believing there can
be no reliable security to persons or prop
J erty pendiug this war. and that BY its COP
} tinuance the Governme ent itself will be ut
terlv andr irrevocably subverted, and that
the South as we'll as the North must. alike
crumble into general ruin and devastation
we recommend, re in thu name OF the people
that there be suspension of beStilities be-
+, tween the coutending armies of the divided
} sections of our country, and that conven-
. Etion Of the States composing the Confeder-
ate States. and seperate convention OF the
States still adhering to the Union, be be ID
