assembled at Vieksburg, by Col. C. \Y. I i tCiU
J hnlley. of ibis place 1 thev
Resolved, Tliat the deiiinnds of the; ,.?^C.
Soutb, in 1850, for lerriforia' expansion,
are not fairly reconcilable with the idea ' XV|" ^
now inculcated, that mere is too much | own
land for the laborers, when in point of! :l."
fact, no additional territory has been no- I l,ve 1
quired by the South since 1860. i State
2nd. That in the formation of the Fed i r'r>"1
la C institution, the Southern Stales eon- . "PP01
reded to Congress the right to prohibit j "PP*"
the importation of Afiican slaves, after the PrCU'
year 1808, and that the laws since passed ,
to that effect, with the approbation ofeni- j s,,on
inent Southern Statesmen, and endorsed i P
by the acquiescence of the people for no i 111 tin
many years, are obligatory upon the peo s,,dilt
pie of the Southern States, so long as (hey i n,!,n.
may choose to remain in tlie Union. i l>ro
3rd, That the apprenticeship system is j c t
but an evasion of these laws, for it cannot j |^r
be disguise^, that tcontraets, for survitude, | <.n|,
made hy the intelligi-nt while inan widi i ,
'.lie cannibals and insect eaters of Africa, -p
are too much dignified by such a title, | -j"
and are intended to place a noose around i i ggq
the neck of the victim, that can be tight
ened at pleasure. J pr^j
4th, That the re opening of the African i
. slave trade, would diminish the value of j
those we already have?invite their bru ]
tai instincts to acts of insubordination, j .
and by diminishing the demand for the c,'nl
labor of the non&laveholder, would pre- a *

have been increased also, particularly in r,,sne,
feeding, clothing and contingencies of the r,i.tU8
additional laborers. So that in the end, ' j
the nett profits of the planter upon his ^0j,.n
investment in land and negroes, would be | for OI
diminished rather than increased. I refl??c
Gtli, That the high pricss of negr. es, '
are not owing alone to the scarcity of I stahli
them, hut rather to the relation they have ! re,.jifl
in times past borne, to the value of the j a8 g0
staples they cultivated, and these in their I Kven
lurn, have always fiuctuated with the I ,|lrt (*
monetary condition of the country, and I x% hil?i
the spii it of speculation prevailing amongst j -ntj0i
the buyers. j men<]
7th, That tie Constitutions of these;- J to he
t rs .
erai states, providing lor the election and ' Cirnu
appointment of judges, were intended to
secure for the citizens a medium through j
which juries, etnpannelled to try the farts ' ^|A|.,
of the cases, might he instructed upon le I j.xlrei

that there could no greater calamity he. i j

atively, by any citizen who chanced to arrHn
be drawn upon tbe jury. dilioi
8tli, That it is right to inculcate upon I Hdjoii
the people those doctrines of morality, j rieSot
upon which alone can rest any hope for a I .}u, ^
real prosperity, and that in all their rela- J shinii
tions, whether public or private, they ev- I j>
er keep in view the value of a gt>od prin ' over ,
ciplc, rather than what might be glined I
at the moment, hy following the exam I l(,,| j,

"Higher law" therefor. * * 4

event, the little levees thrown up by the ! and t
hand of man, can ever obstruct the I t ng 1
mighty rush of a just cause, always sua ; propo

10th, That in the opinion of this Con ! *arioi
