That we approve the resolutions, upoi
the state of the country, passed By th'
House Of Representatives of this Common
wealth on the 18th day of April last, an'
in addition thereto, and as further ex
preston of our views upon public affairs
do resolve, as follows:
Resobea, That we again renew ou
VOWS of fidelity to the Constitution of th
United States, the great charter for whicl
our fathers struggled and fought, ant
which was established, as they themselve
expressed It, "to form more perfect Uniol
establish justice, ensure domestic tranquil
ty, provide for the common defense, pro

blessings of liberty to ourselves and pos

ResolUed, That inasmuch as the Consti

have for public liberty and private right
as without it we can have no hope OF pro

deficient in the first element OF patriotism
and any officer of the State or Fedora
Government who swoars to support thC
Constitution, and afterwards, with tina
oath on his conscience, wllfully violates
it, is wholly unworthy ofpublic confidence
ReSoived, That among the rights whicl
the Constitution provides to every citizen
is that of being secure in his life, libert!
and properly, so that he cannot be deprived
OF either without due process of law, fai
trial by competent judge and jury o
his neighbors, with witnesses to confron
him and counsel 10 defend him. This il
so lust in ITSELF so necessary to the happi
ness of the people for whom all govern
ment is made, and SO plainly written down
in the Federal Constitution, aud in all tho
State Constitutions, any person who cal
misunderstood it has not, in our opinion
the mental capacity which fits him fol
public station.
Resobed, That we have heard with in-
tense alarm and deep indignation that some
