was. frat the following resolution, be-
fne one Of the famous Kentucky reso-
buttons Of I79S 9, whose doctrines have
been exploded by the results Of the
four years war, through which the coun-
try has just passed
/. "Resolped, That the several States
composing the United States are not
united on the principle Of unlimited
submission to the General Government,
but that by a compact, under the style
and title Of q Constitution for the
United States, and Of amendments
thereto, they constitute General Gov
eminent for special purposes; delegated
to the Government certain definite
powers, reserVing, each State TO ITSELF
the residuaTy mass of right 10 their self
government; and that whenever the
General Government assumes the dele
gated power, its acts are unauthorita-
tive, void, and Of no force; THAT TO
THIS COMPACT EACH STATE AC-
CEDED AS A STATE, AND is AN IN
TRGRAL PARTY, IT'S co STATES
FORMING, AS TO ITSELF, THE
OTHER PATTY; that the Government
created by this compact was not made
the exclusive or final Judge of, the ex-
tent Of the powers delegated to itself,
since that would have made its discre-
ton, and not the Constitutions he meas
ure of It's powers; but that, as in all
other cases Of compact among Powers
having no common Judge, each party
has an equal right TO judge for itself, as
well Of attractions as Of the mode and
measure of redress
aIf there be religious safety out OF
the church, said they, there is no po-
lirioal salvation for the democracy out
side of this resolution. It is the ark Of
of our political safety--the alp ha and
omega of our creed. II has absolutely
ruled the party for sixty years" They
wished the resolution discussed before
the people for their information, so thai
all sour thinkers" should "becomS
deeply learned, instead of the contrary
in the history and philosophy Of oul
institutions and erase 70 Be AFRAID Of SC
esssion and qualification, Again, ssiC
they;
Nor should we fail to avow our fixed
opinion that white mastery and negr'
slavery is, in the South, the very bes
form of their society, and that an
other is not only undesirable, but il
compatible, with the negTo's existenc =
If half the people of Ohio were negroes
the doubts, which some entertain on tn
subject, would not be felt by any of th'
whites The democracy of the North
ern States have been demoraiized al
over the world by their false position
on The tremendous question of negr
slavery to white masters.
The letter having been read TO tn
Committee by Mr.. Cory, he srhmitte
the following resolution in regard to it
Resolved. That the Executive Con
mittee is in favor of Immediately OF
ganizing the party in the State of 0hi'
for the approaching elections, upon tn
basis Of the letter addressed to us b
Alexander Long ard Others, and tina
we will make q recommendation {
that plan of the campaign 10 the Coz
vention, and 20 the Democracy of on
State, as the true way of rescuing Cd
federal system from destruction, an

The retiring committee men publish

August, choose State ticket of the
own and earnestly support it
We do not wonder at the action
Mr. vallandigham and his colleague
