adjustment of existing difficulties, and the restoration of harmony among the several States, in their relations to each other and the Federal Government, adopt the following: Resolved, That we respectfully request the President of the United States to abstain from the exercise of all powers calculated to jeopard the public tranquility, and render abortive any effort to restore the Union, being satisfied that the slaveholding States will adopt no measures except those of a defensive charnitions to the South and of abstaining from all acts of hostility or menace to that section of the country. Resolved, That the foregoing preamble and resolution be communicated by the Governor of this Commonwealth to the President of the United States.

ar. It keeps up the banks, it keep up the ships, it keeps up the works, shops, and does more than that — it puts Europe under bonds to keep the peace with the United States. Yet, with all these lights before them, they have advanced and laid their hands upon this institution of God Almighty, and said "stand back — we are holier t the North, and they stigmatized and vilified the Administration. The insidious serpent of abolitionism crept into the council chamber of the President of the United States. He would gladly pass over this phase in the history of the country if he could.

re in no better position unless acting strictly on the defensive. The insurance on slaves would seem to be forfeited in any event, for in the utter chaos that would overwhelm. The Southern States in the event of a civil contest, no claim for life insurance upon such policies could probably be collected. It is sale, therefore to suppose, that the first blast of actual war between the South and the Federal Government would sweep away nearly $12,000,000 of Southern capital. There is a difference in the provisions of the policies of American Life insurance Companies and British companies. In the former the insured forfeit the policy in consequence of treason to, or for making war upon, the United States.
