Re8olUed, lst. That the will Of the people
Is the foundation Of all free government
that to give effect to this viii, free speech and
a free press are absolutely Indispensable.
Without free discussion, there is no certainty
for sound judgments without sound judgment
there can be no wise government.

al right of the people to discuss all measures
of their government, and to approve or disap-
prove as TO their best Judgment seems right

advocate that policy which, in their judgment,
Is best, and to argue and vote against what
ever policy seems to violate the Constitution,
to impair their liberties, OF to be detrimental
to their welfare.
Sd. That these, and all other rights guar
anteed to them by their constitutions, are
their rights in time ofwar as we'll as in times
of peace, and offar more value and necessity
in war than in peace for in peace, liberty
and security and property are seldom endan-
gered--~ln war they are ever in peril.
4th. That we now say to all whom it may
not by way Of threat, but calmly
and friendly, that we will not surrender these
rights, or submit to their forcible violation.
We will obey the laws ourselves and all others
must obey them.

ton and the Union as the bes-, it may be the

the peaceful agency Of the SURFACES of free
people.
