to our constitutional system is the only pro-
lection for either: therefore
"Resolced, That the original basis Of our
whole political structure is the consent in
every part thereof OF the people of each
States voluntarily formed union, and each
State provided by itS written constitution
for everything, as IA State should do for the
protection of life. liberty, and property with
in, aud each State jointly with others, pro-
vide federal union for Interstate relations.
= T." Resolrcd, That all governmental powers.
whether State or Federal, are trust powers,
coming from the people Of each State, and
that they are limited to the written letter of
the Constitution and the laws passed in pur-
sunnce of It; which powers must be eXcr.
| cised in the utmost good faith, the Coustitu-
tion itself providing in what manner they
may be altered or amended.

TO paramount consideration. ... e....

cohesion to 1imc-honored principles which
they will never surrender In exchange for all
the offices which presidents can confer. The
plngs of the mnoriticS nre doubtless eXcrll'
tating, but we welcome eternal minority
under the banner inscribed with our princi'
pies rather than I'M almighty and everlasting
minority purchased by their abandonment.

at Balluuurr into false creed AMI tnl>e

rrpudiate both, and appeal to the people to
