Whsrvas, 1t is runiored that North
ern brethren and fellow-citizens are
apprehensive that the assembly OF
the Southern States Convention is
the commencement OF series Of
sectional movements to ALLEVIATE our
selves from the great body OF our
race in the states not named In
the call under which said COnven-
ton is now in session.
RESOLVED, That we disclaim any
such intention or motive, and that
we would brand with eternal infamy
any person or persons WHO would
attempt to sever our interests OF
sympathies from our Northern breth-
rem, who in war shed their blood
and sacrificed their lives for our citi-
zenship and reimbursement.
Resolued, That we are fully appri-
zed of the fact that the interests and
destiny of our race are one and IN
separable throughout the length an !
breadth of the American Continent,

met to adjust local causes.

sentative men of our race assembled

party, based as it is upon the prin-
ciples of perfect civil and political

undivided support.

dep!oring The loss of the good aud
loyal men who have fallen victims

opinions, and calling upon the
Righteous Judge OF the Cuiverst
for protection, we pledge ourselves
and our constituents to stand as one
man for the National Republican
party, so long as it maintains its
present principles.

the pledges OF the Conservative
Democratic New Departure move
ment and no amount of lawlessuess
