the capital; that in this national emergency, Con

tain the Constitution and all laws made in pur-
suance thereof, to preserve the Union with all
the dignity, equality and rights Of the several
States uninpaired; that as soon as these objects

And whereas, these resolutions, though not joint
or concurrent in form, are substantially identical,

main and constitute an integral part Of the United
States; (.

United States are made equals, and placed upon a
like footing as to political rights, immunities. dig
