The resolutions oppose a consolidation of
all power in the hands of the Federal Gov
ornment; maintain the doctrine of State
Rights as laid down in the Virginia and
Kentucky resolutions of 1898; declare that
the ordinance of secession being passed, the
Southern States are still in the Union as
States and entitled to all State rights and
their representatives in Congress; denouncc
all efforts to confer the right of suffrage
upon the negroes discourage negro emigra-
ton into the State; compliment the soldiers
for their yalor and fortituic; regard. the
national debt as q national curse, and de-
mand exercise of the most rigid economy,
and recommend that the national taxes be
collected by county treasurers, as far as
possible, and that the militia commutation
tax be repealed; denounce the arrest of cit
liens by military authority in the States
where civil tribunals are unmolested de-
corpus, since the termination of the war,
and denial of the right Of trial by jury,
and interference in elections by the militia
ry power, as in recent instances in Ken
lucky and Tennessee, as revolutionary vio-
lations of the Constitution.
The last resolution declares that whilo VIC
will resolutely condemn all infractions of
the Constitution, and while we regret that
the terms Of pacification agreed to by Gen.
Sherman in April last were not at once rat
flied by the Federal Executive, we will,
nevertheless, stand by President Johnson
in all constitutional efforts to restore to
the States the exercise of their rights and
power within the United States.
