Mr. Hammond introduced the follow
ing resolutions, which were referred to
the Committee on Ordinances and Reso
lutions:
Inasmuch as a fundamental difference
of opinion in reference to the character,
powers and policy of the Government of
the United States and of the State Gov
ernments, which existed in the Conven
tion which framed the Constitution, and,
after more than three-quarters of a cen
tury of political contest, resulted in a
bloody and exhausting war; and, where
as, when a people draw the sword, ap
pealing to the last and highest tribunal
known to man, they should abide by its
decisions in good faith; and, whereas, it
is neither wise nor politic in the people
of the South to continue any longer a
contest in which they have been twice
defeated—once by political majorities
and once by the sword; therefore, we,
the people of South Carolina, in Con
vention assembled, accept as the results
of the war, the principles embraced in
the following resolutions, and will sus
tain them fully and faithfully as a nation
al policy:
1. Resolved, That the Union is the first
and paramount consideration of the
American people.
2. Resolved, That sovereignty, a unit
absolute and indivisible, which, in all
nations, must exist somewhere, resides
in the American people, and its authoriz
ed representative within the limits of
the organic law—the Constitution—is
the Federal Government.
3. Resolved, That it is an incontrover
tible fact that slavery has ceased to exist
through the exercise of the military pow
er of the Federal Government, and that
any attempt by us to revive it would be
impolitic, unwise, and not only futile,
but disastrous.
4. Resolved, That it is the true policy
of the American people to confine the
General Government strictly within the
limits of the Constitution, and to ac
knowledge'the inalienable right of each
state to regulate its own affairs in its
own way,.
5. Resolved, That the late war was not
one of an oppressed people against ty
ranny, but arose from an apprehension,
on the part of the weaker section, of op
pression and tyranny in the future, and
Was carried on under an honest oonvio-
, img fitetfinnifin in everj
part of the country, with adoption
of the Constitution itself, that a State
had the reserved right to revoke the pow
ers it had delegated to the General Gov
ernment, whenever in the judgment of
such State, there might be danger tljat
those powers would be used to its disad
vantage. The war, therefore, not having
been strictly in the nature of rebellion
or insurrection, we most respectfully
suggest to bis Excellency the President,
the justice and wisdom of not enforcing
the pains and penalties affixed to those
crimes by the’laws of the United States.
6. Resolved, That we endorse the acts
of {President Johnson’s Administration,
and will cordially support its wise and
parriotie efforts to restore to the whole
country the blessings of peace.

Amendments to the Constitution, made
