THE.ORrGIJIAl. DRAFT PKEPABED BT THOS. JEFFERSOX.
lj Resdted, That the several States composing the
United States of America, are not united on the
principles of the unlimited submission to the general
government ; but that by compact under the style
and (title of a Constitution for the United States, and
of amendments Jthereto, they constituted a. general
govejrnmenf for special purposes, delegated to that
government' certain definite powers, reserving each
State I-to itself the residuary mass of right to their
ownself-government, and that, whensoever the gen
eral government assuriifes undelegated powers, its acts
are Unauthoritative, void, ... and of no force ; that to
this .ompact each State acceded as a State and is an
integral party ; that this government, created by this
compact, was hot made the exclusive or final judge
of "the 'extent of the powers delegated to itself; since
that I would have made its discretions and not the
Constitution, the measure of its powers ;' but, that as
in all other cases of compact, among parties ha vine:
no common judge, each party has an equal right :to
judgt for ilselj at well' as of infractions as of the
mode and measure of 'redress. . . v ' ;
2. Resoleed, That the Constitution of the United
States having delegated to Congress a power to pun
ish treason, counterfeiting the securities and coin of
thej. hired States, piracies and felonies committed on
the high seas, and oflenses against the laws of na
tions, and ho other crimes 'whatever, and it being
true, as a general principle, and one of the amend
ment!! to the Constitution having also declared, t' that
the powers not delegated to the United States by the
Constitution, nor prohibited by .it to the. Stated, are
reserved to the; States respectively, or to the people,. " .
therefore, also, the same act of Congress, passed on
the 1 Ith day of July, 1798, and entitled, " An act in
addition'ito thejact entitled an act for the punishment
of certain crimes against the United States ; " as also,
the act passed by them on the 27th day of June,
1798, entitled, f An act to punish frauds committed
on tlieibanks of the United .States " (and all other of
their Bfts which; assume to create, define or punish"
crimee.'othfers tjan those enumerated in the constitu
tion) are altogether void and of no force, and that the
power to .create, define, and punish such Other crimes
is reserved, arid of right appertains solely "and ex
clusively, to the respective States, each within its own
Territory. , . j ". -A '.' "'
3. Resolved, iThat it is true, as & general principle,
aad i. klso expressly declared by one of the amend
ments jto the Constitution, that " the powers not dele
gated to the United States by the Constitution, nor
prohibited hy it to : the States,, are reserved to the
State, respectively: or to the people ;" arid that no
power' over the freedom of religion, freedom of speech,
or freedom of the 'press being delegated to the United
States by the Constitution, ji unprohibited by it to the
i States, all lawful powefs respecting the same did of
'right remain, and were reserved to the States or pieb-',
.'pie ;: ..nd thus was manifested their determination to
retain to themselves the right of judging how far the
licentiousness pf speech and of the press may be
Abridged without lessening their useful fredom ; and
how fir those' abuses which cannot be separated from
their use should,, .be -tolerated rather than the use be
destvoi'edj.and jthtis also they -guarded, against all
abridgement byjthe United States, "of the freedom -of
religk us principles and exercises, and retained to
.thenitii-lves the right of protecting the same, as. this,
stated by a law passed bu the general demand of its
citizeiis, had already protected them from all human
restraints or 'interference'; and. that, in addition to
this general principle and express declaration, another
I and) iU' ve special provision has been made by one of
s, that " Con-reslPi.011 expressly

best endeavors to procure at the next session bf Con

9. Resolved lastly, That the Governor of this com

communicate the preceding resolutions to the legisla

J - commonwealth considers union for special national
purposes,, ana particularly for those specified m their
late federal compact, t be friendly; to the peace, hap
piness, and prosperity of all the States that faithful
to the compact, according to the! plain intent and.
meaning in which it was understood and acceded to
; by the several parties,! it is sincerely anxious for its
preservation ; that it does also believe, that to take
from the States all tie powers oft self-government,
and transfer them to a general and' consolidated gov
ernment, without regard to the special government,
and Reservations swemhly agreed to j in that corhpact,
is not for the peace, happiness, or prosperity of these
states. . Ana that; thcirciore,, tms common wealth is
determfned, as it doubls not its co-states are, to sub
mit to undelegated antt consequently unlimited powers
; in no man, or aody of nen on earth ; that if the acts
before specified should stand, these conclusions flow
from them; that the general government may place
aqy act they think proper on the list of crimes and
puinish it themselves, - whether enumerated or not enu-
; nictated,- by the constimtion cogniza'
ble by them, that
they may transfer its . (-ognizanee to!

of the inhabitants of tleseStates, being y this pre
cedent reduced as out-laws to absolute dominion of
one man, and , the : barriers of the constitution thus
swept from us all; no rampart noWj remains against
the passions and the power of a majority -of Congress
to protect from a like exportation or rather gi ievous
punishment the minorily of the same body, theiegis
latiires, judges, goyen ors, and counsellors of the
States, nor their other peaceable inhabitants who may
venture to reclaim the constitutional; rights and liber

good or bad, may be .obnoxious to the view or marked
by the suspicions of th . President,; !or to be thought
dangerous to his or the ;r, elections or other interest, 1

if the constitution has ii
it been wise in fixing limits
to the governments it civated, and Whether we should
be wise, iii destroying th
the government is, if it
nien of our choice ; have
se limits? ! Let him say what
be not a tyranny; which the.
conferred bu the President,
choice has ' assented to and
and the President of bu
accented ever the frieiidlv stramrfrs, to whom the
mild spirit of our counttv and its laws have pledged
i hospitality and protection; that the men oi ourcnoice
hnve more respected the bare suspicions of the Presi
dent than the solid rights of innocftice, the claims of
biftitieation, the sacred brce of truth, and the forms
and substance of law and justice. J
In questions of power then let rio more be said of
contidence in man, but bind him doivn from mischief
by the chains of the Cm stitiition. That this common
wealth does therefore call on its co-fStatcs for an ex-
nression ol their sentiments on the acts concerning
aliens, and for the punishment of certain crimes here
inbefore specified, plainly declaring whereby these acts
.-a r or ar not iiuthorizeil bv the federal compact. And
it doubts' not tti at their tense will be so announced as
to prove their attachricnt to limited government, ing to its Qwn judgiheut, exclusively, is essential to
whether general or part cular, and that the rights and the balance of ppwej-on which the perfection and en
liberties "of their co-Stat .-s will be exposed to no dan- durance of her polltici! faith depends."- Antiwe de
crors Viv rpiT.an.inr emb irked on a' common bottom nonnce the lawless I invasion by .ui armed force from
" with their.'owri. But tllev will concur with this com-
monwealth in considering tne saia acts as so paipaoiy
against, the, Constitutidn as to amount to an undis
guised declaration, thatjthe compact is not meant to
be the measure of the pbwer of the General Govern
ment, but that it will proceed in the exercise oyer
these States of all poweiis whatsoever, that they will
view'this as seizin" the Hs.hts' of the States and consol-
idatiug them in the hands of the GeiieraP Government,
with a power assumed tp bind the States (not' merely
. in aases made federal) but in all cases whatsoever,: by
laws made, not with t
heir consebt, but . by others
against their consent; arjd this would be to surrender,
the form of government we have chosen, and live-un
der one deriving its pbwers from its will," and not from
our authority; and that the co-States recurring to their
natural rights not made federal, wiH concur in declar
ing these void and of no
force, and will each unite wit
s
this commonwealth in requesting their repeal at th
next session of Congress
Virginia esdlutions, 1798-'99.
l.: Resolved, That the
General Assembly of Virginia

. lain ana ueieim xne vA.iisniuiioii 01 iiie uimts oiutcD,
aud tiie Constitution of this State, against every ag
arestifon. either foreign or domestic, and that thev wil
bimrxwt the Government of the United States in all the
measures warranted bv ihe former.
2. The General Assembly most jsolemnlr declares a
warm attachment to the Union of the States, to main
tain which, it pledges all its powers'; and that, for this
-end-.it is their duty to watch ovejr and oppose every
infraction of those principles, which constitute the
only basis of that Union, because a jfaithful observance
ot"tliem alone can secure its existence and the public
happiness
j S. That this assembly does explicitly and peremp
torily declare, that it vieWs the powers uf the Federal
Government, as resulting
from the. compact. 10 which

spective limits, the authorities, rights and liberties ap
pertaining to them.
4. T"hat the General Assembly doth also express its
deep regret, that a' spirit has in sundry instances, been
manifested by the Federal Government, to enlarge its
powers by forced construction of the constitutional char
ter which grant defines thjem; and that indications have
;ppared of a design to expound certain general phrases
fc: - .' . - - '- - - -.--.'.
(which have been copied from the very limited power
in the former articles of confederation, were the less
liable to be misconstrued,) so as to desroy the mean
mg and effect of the particular etnimeration which
necessarily explains and limits the general phrases,
arid so as to consolidate the States by degrees,! Oto oue
sovereignty,' tliesbbviotis tendency, aud inevitable re-"
suit of which wquld be to transform the present He
publican qrstetu pf the United States into an absolute,
or at best, a mixexj monarchy. - i '
5. That the i General Assemljly doth particularly
protest against the palpable and alarming infraction of
the constitution; jiu the two late ca.ses of the " Alien
and tSetlition act," passed- at the last session of Con
gress ;; the firstbtf: which exercises a power no where
delegated to the federal government; and which by
uniting legislative! and judicial powers to those of the
executive, subverts the general principles of free gov
ernment, as well! as the particular organization and
positive provision ipf the federal constitution, and the
other of which acts exercises, in like manner, a power
not delegated by the constitution, but on the contrary
expressly and fcjsitivcly forbidden by one of the
amendments thereto ; a power more than any other,
ought to produce' universal alarm ; because it is level
led against the right of freely examining public char .
acters ; and meaure, and of free communication
among the people jthereon, which has ever been justly
deemed the only effectual guardian of, every other
right. . . I j ' - ' .-.
6 . That this ; Stite having by its convention, which
ratified the federal constitution, expressly declared,
that among other, essential rights, "the liberty" of con--science
and of the ipress.'cannot be canceled, abridged,
restrained, or modified, by any authority of the United
States," and fron itsextremtt jmxiety to guard these
rights from every possible attack of sophistry and am
bition, havfngi ith - other States recommended an
amendment for that purpose, which amendment was
in due time anneked to the Constitution, it would mark
a. reproachful inconsistency, and criminal degeneracy,
if ai indifference' were not shown to the most palpa
ble violation of bn6 of the rights thus declared and se
cured; 7 and to the; establishment of a precedent, which
may be fatal to the other. . 1 j
7.; Tliat the ood- people of this commonwealth
having ever feltiiid continuing to feel, the most sin
cere iatfection for itheii brethren of the other States,
the truest anxiety bri establishing and' perpetuating
the union of all; jabd the most scrupulous fidelity to
that! Constitution, j which is the pledge of mutual
frietfdsdip, and the; instrument of mutual happiness,
the General Assembly doth solemnly appeal to the like
dispositions in other bStates in confidence that" they
will concur withthis cbmmonwealth in declaring, as
it does hereby declare, that the acts aforesaid are un
constitutional; and that the necessary and proper
measures will be. takin by each for cooperating with
this State in maintaining unimpaired, the authorities,
rights and liberties reserved to the States respectively,
or to: the people.il- .
8.1 That the Gov einor be desired ,to transmit a copy
of the foregoing; resolutions to; the executive authority
of the other States, wth a request that the same be
communicated to thei Legislature thereof, and that a
cojiy be furnished to 'each of the Senators and Repre
sentatives, represeriting this State' in the Congress of
the United States, i r b .
' Blacfc Republican Platform.
Resolved, Thai we'! the delegated representatives of
the Republican electors, of the United States, in con
vention assembled, in the dischorgc of the duty we
owe to our coiistitueixts and our country, unite in the
Mkbving deelaratiojt; ,
' 1. 1 That.the-Hfetqryl bf the -nation during the last
four years has esbllished' the propriety? and necessi
ty of the. brganibtipn and perpetuation of the Repub-

2. j That the hfaiiienahee of the Federal Gmstitu
tion ps essential o th'- preserva tion of our republican
institutions, andjlshall le-. preserved"; that we solemn
ly re;-assert the llVcy ident-mif hs that all are endowed
bv their Creator kith certain inalienable rights, among
winch are those jf jlife liberty, and the puasuit- of.
happiness that governments are instituted among
men to secure tlee enyments of these rights.
3. That to the Lmon of the States tms nation owes
its unj)recedenttll increase in, population,- its surpri
sing development of 'inate.ri.al resources, its rapid aug
mentation -of wealth,! its'happiness at home and its
honor abroad, afidiwb hold in abhorrence ail schemes
for disunioii, coitieironi whatever source toey may;
and ke congratulate the country that no Kopublicaii
member of Congress has uttered or . countenanced a
threat of disunion, m often made by the Democratic
members of Conlrre'ss without Rebuke, and with ap-
plause from theiii political! associates. ; ana e de
nounce those threa ts ; of disunion in ease of a popular
overthrow of their ascendency, as del sy ing . The vital
principle of a free governmebt, and as an avowal ot

of an iinhgnant people ht.-oi-giy to reuuneanci lorever.

4i That the naainienance inviolate ol the rights ot
the' States', aridlpN.-iafly; therights of 'each State to
order and control iits own domestic institutions accord-
any iState or Tetritory, no matter under what pretext
as among tne gfavei i crimes..
5; That the presebl Democratic Administration has
far exceeded ouf worst apprehensions in its measure
less subserviency- foj the exactions of a sectional inter
est, as is especially eyident in its desperate exertions
to force the infamous ,Lecomptou constitution upon
the protesting: people of Kansas, m construing the

eral courts, ot the extreme pretentions, oi a pmviy
local interest ; l:ind' in its general and unvarying abuse
of the power intrbsted to it by a confiding, poeple.
6t That the people justly view with alarm the reck
less extravagance which pervades every department
of the federal government; that a return to rigid,
economy and accountability is -indispensable, arrest
the svstem of plunder of the public treasury by fa
vored partisans:; .while the present startling develop
ments of fraud land corruption at the federal metrop
olis!4how that an entire chango of the administration
is imperatively'demanded.
7;. That the hew;1 dogma, that the Constitution of its
own force, carries slavery into any or all of the Ter-ritoj-ies
of the Xmihd States, is a dangerous political"
heresy, at vartance with the explicit provisions of
that instrumeui itself, with the contemporaneous ex
position; and wHtli legislative and judicial precedent, ,
is revolutionary in; its tendencies, -'-aud subversive ot
the 'peace and harmony of the country.
8t That the normal" condition of all the Territory of
the United States'ijs that of freedom. That as our re
publican fatheA, . when they had abolished slavery in
all our national territory, ordained that no person
should he deprived ofjife, liberty or property, without
due process of law-j itLecoinesour duty, by legislation

of a territorial (egislaiure, or of any individuals, to
give legal existence tcj slavery in any territory of the
United States. I i ! : ' ' ,f.-... b ." -. - -
9. That we brand the recent re-opening of the Af
rican Slave trade under the color of our national flag,
aided by perversions) of judicial power, as a crime
against "humanity, a burning shame to our country and
a. ; and we call upon Congress to take prompt and
efficient measures for the total and final suppression
of that execrable! traffic. , ,
lf. That in the recent, vetoes by their Y ederal gov
ernors of the actiof 'the Legislatures of Kansas and
Nebraska, prohibiting slavery in those Territories, we
find a practical illustration of the boasted Democratic
principle of non-interyeiition and popular sovereignty,
embodied in the Kansas and Nebraska bill, and a de-
nunciation of the deception' and fraud involved
therein. . , ' j - - 1. 1 - i .-.. : . .-. . '
. u' Tj1 Kansas should, of right, be immediately
admitted as a State, under the constitution recently
formed and adopted by her people; and accepted by
the House o 1 Representatives. i ; . : ;;f '
.,12. That while; providing revemie fbr the support
of the general ' gpN-ernment, bv dutiesc; upon imposts,
sound policy requires; such an adju-ment' of these
impost as to encourage the development of the in
dustrial interest of ihe whole country ; and we com
mend the policy of , national exchanges which secures
to the working nien liberal wages, to agriculture re
munerating prices, to ! mechanics and manufacturers
au adequate reward for their skill, labor and enterprise,
and to the riationebmmercial prosperity and mdepend-'
euce. .- . -. - .-;-
i .13. That we protest against; any sale or alienation
to others of the public lands held by actual settlers,
and . against any view' of the free, homestead policv
which regards the settlers, as paupers or supplicants
for pubUc bountys; and we demand the passage by
Congress of the complete and satisfactory homestead
measure which fca$ already passed the House.
14. That the- epubUcan party i3 opposed to
any change in (ur naturalization laws, or any
State degislation by which the rights of; citizenship
hitherto accorded jto emigrants from foreign lands
shall be abridged or impaired, and in favor of giving
a. full and' efficient protection to the rights to all
classes of citizens whether native or naturalized
at home or abroad; ."' ' ; '.; ; i '..
15'. That appropriations by Congress for river and
harbor improvements of f national character required
for the accommodation ancl securitv of an existing
commerce, are authorize by j ihe: Constitution and
justified by an obligation of the government to pro
tect the lives and -property of its citizens:
16. That a railroad to the Pacific Ocean isimpera
tively demanded by the interests of the whole coun
try 5 tbat the federal government ought to render ifii
mediate and efficient aid hi its consti iietion, and that,
as a preliminary thereto, a daily overland mail should
be promptly established, j i
17. Finally, haying thus set forth our distinctive
principles nnd views -we invite the co-operation of
all citizens, however difl'ering on other questions, who
substantially agree; with! us in their affirmance and
support. ! i J 1 '
