No— his hope was in ' the people, to WhoM in such a case he would.appealfroM the law makers. M.

L ung arid consulting-together hoW we may pest perform-our CsOrigressionali dirties in the present' great. and ! periloirA crisis of Our country's fate, and .we }Ave cone to', the:following conclusions, ons viz: i . , 1 1. That the. Constitatiory the' tnion -4114- the laws, must be preaeived: and • .... -. ... maintained in all their:proper and- right ! fat supremacy, and that dm rebellion now in anus against•theni.muit be . sap pressed and pirdorrii ; And that it - is! bur duty_ to . ‘yote for all'ineasurewneeessary,and prop ,;cr to that end, - - t . . • • 2: That 'the true interests of the coun try, as well as the dictates of hum:inky, ' require that no More war or acts or war should be prosecuted or done than 'are necessary and proper for the prompt 'and complete suppression of the rebellion. ' 3. That the States are component.and essential parts of the- Union, bound getlior inseparably by 'the Constitution - of the Unitefl States; that none, of them can cease to' exist as such, ,so long as that Contitution survives, and that it-is the excl sive sphere and duty of the States to order and direct 'their own domestiis aft lairs. While the rebellion, therefore; has not annulled the Constitutional relations -of the-so-called "'Seceding states" to the Federal government, neither has it dives ted those states of any rights 'or poweri, municipal - or otherwise, properly . belong- - ingto them a 8 members of the Federal Union. The actual exercise of those rights and powers may for a time be in terrupted or obstruCted by the rebellion, and Po me authority may be substitutedin its place, but ris-that rebel lion is suppressed these states will be en titled of .right to .resume the exercise of all the 'rights and powers; dignities ands immunities, which properly belong to them as States of the Union. 4. That the present war, as avowed by the President and Congress,. and under goodly the people, was commenced and proadcutedlor the purpose of suppressing the rebellion and preserving Ind vindica ting the Constitution, the Union and - the Laws, and for that,purpose only." It was a great and noble purpose ; higb above any inure sectional or party objects, and at once it inspired and united in its stip 'port all royal men of every creed, - narty - and section. At- the vall..of the-.govern ment a . miglity Army, the noblest. and most :patriotic ever known, sprung at once into -the field and is bleeding and.conquer- Mg in defence 'of its government: *Under these circumstances it would„ in our opin ion, be moat Unjust and ungenerous to give any new character or direction to the war for . the accomplishment of any other than its first great purpose; and especially for. the accomplishment of any Mere party or sectional scheme.. 5.- That the many and great- victories lately iacquired by our armies and navies whilst they ought to 4on Once :the rest of the world of the vast )military powei'of our goVernment, give' us the 'pleasing as surance that our deplorable' civil.war will soon 'be brought 'to a, close, - should the proper objects of the war, as hereinbefOre defined, be kept steadily in view.. When that IS done, and when such punishitient is inflicted on-such of the guilty leaders. as will satisfy public justice, and-upon such others as have-made themselves eriispieu ous for crimes cOmmitted in the prosem tion of the rebellion, it is our opinion that Our goVernment should adopt such wise 'measures of clemency as will tend to bring back a cordial reconciliation and peace to the whole country. .". 8. That 'the: doctrines of the seeession ists and the abolitionists, as the latter are now represented in Congress, are alike. false to the Constitution and irreconcila ble With the peace and unity of- the court-. . try. The first have already involved us in a cruel civil war, and the ,others, the abolitionists . , Will leave to the country but little hope: of_ the speedy restoration ,of - the Union or peace it the schemes of con fiscation, emancipation, and other 'uncon stitutional measures, which they have lately carried and attempted . tocarry thro' the House of Representatises, shall be en- - acted into the form . of laws. and remain • unrebuked by the- people. - 1.. That Congress has no power to de prive any person of property- for any criminal offence, unless that person has been first ditly'convicted of the offence by a' verdidt of a jury- 7 -and that all acts like these lately passed by the House of Rep resentatives, which assume to forfeit or confiscate the estates of men, for offences of which they bevel - 10, been convicted up on due' trial by jury are-unconstitutional and lead' to oppression and tyranny. It is no justification for such acts that the crimes committed in the prosecution of this rebellion are of nnexampled atrocity, nor is there any such justification as State necessity. known to our government or' laws. , . . 0. The fbregoing resolutions are in ex, planation and reatlirmance - of the resole. tion passed at the extra session of the present Congress, linown.as: the 0 Critten den resolution," and which declared othat this war is not waged for anypurpese of conquest or subjugation , nor for the pur- - pose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights of. these ; States, brit to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Con stitutidn, and to preserve the Union with all the dignity, equality and, rights of ,the several States unimpaired, and that as . soon as these objects are accomplished the war ought to cease."
