Whereas, A large portion of the people of the non-slaveholding States, have tor many years past, shown in many ways, a fanatical Preamble spirit bitterly hostile to the Southern States, and have, through the instrumentality of incendiary publications, the pulpit, and the newspaper press, finally organized a political party for Ihe avowed purpose of destroying the institution of slavery, and consequently spreading ruin and desolation among the people in every portion of the country where it exists. And, RESOLUTIONS. 239 Response to the State of Mississippi. Whereas, This spirit of fanaticism has allied itself with a design, long entertained by leading politicians of the North, to wield the taxing power of the Government for the purpose of protecting ami r ,, fostering the interests of that section of the Union, and also to appropriate the common Territories of the United Stales td the ex- elusive use of Northern emigration, for the purpose of extending, consolidating, and rendering that power irreversible. And, Wherejas, These designs and movements have attained such ascendency, as to combine a large majority of the Northern people in this sectional party, which has elected to the Presidency and Vice-Presidency of the United States, candidates who are pledged in the most solemn form, and by the plainest, repeated declara- tions, to wield all the influence and power of the Federal Govern- ment to accomplish the objects and purposes of the party by which they have been elected.
