Whereup_on, Messrs. Watson, Gemmill, and Fisher were appointed saicl com­ mittee. Nathaniel B. Smithers, Esq., Secretary of State, being admitted, presentecl a special message from His Excellency, the Governor, with accompanying resolutions from the States of Kentucky and Missouri, Which,. On motion of Mr. Bewley, Were read, as follows : MESSAGE. To the Senate and House of Rep1·esentatives of the State of Dela· wa1·e: · In compliance with the request therein contained, I have the honor to lay before you resolutions of the Legislature of Kentucky, and also. resolutions of. the Legislature of Missouri, with the Special Message of his Excellency, Governor Gamble, the latter resolutiollS and message being in response to certain resolves of the Legislature 1 of Delaware trallsmittecl to that body. · · . It is unnecessary to accompany these papers by any extended re- marks acldressed to you. · " My views upon the subjects of which they treat are too well · known to you to require elucidation. It is obvious that the prospect of a convention or armistice is as . , visionary as its realization would be disastrous. The rebels have .· always declared with a persistency admitting no change and a direct- 5 ness defying misunderstanding, that the separation is filial and ir­ remediable. They will listen to no proposition but disunion, and ac­ cept no termination of the contest, except a full aud complete recog­ nition of their absolute independence. To this end they have taken up arms against the Government, and from the beginning, lrn,vc proclaimed their determination with un­ wavering constancy. In this vie,v the proposal of an armistice is a mere subterfuge ; the plea for a Convention, a bitter mockery. · The practical result could only be to distract the people of the Loyal States, and give to the enemy time for preparation and in: creased capacity to sustain the conflict. It would be au admission either of the l"ightfulness of their cause or of the inability of the government to cope with the rebellion. J!'oreign intervention, now dead, would be revived, and dangerous complications, perhaps foreign war, would ensue. There is but one admisible basis of settlement-the restoration of the authority of the National Government over the whole land. There is but one mode of adjustment-the employment of the whole military power of the Republic in the utter suppression of rebellion. For this purpose all incidental questions should be postponed, and all issues tending to divide the loyal people of tlie United States should be avoided. Their discussion has already clone more to pro­ tract the conflict 11,nd procrastinate the resumption of authority by the civil magistracy, than the armed power of the rebels. Dissen­ sion among the people of the Loyal States is their only hope of suc­ cess. Had men who profess loyalty, been united in a firm support of the government and a vigorous prosecution of the war, the supre­ macy of the laws would long ago have been re-established. Upon the Southern rebels rests the guilt of the commencement of the contest; upon the Northern peace-men the tenible responsibility of its protraction; upon both the necessity for the .sacrifice of heca­ tombs of hp.man lives t.o preserve .the Union. Posterity will judge be.tween. us .. WILLIAM CANNON. DOVER, June 9th, i863. COMMONWEALTH OF KENTUCKY, ExE.cu•r1vE DEPARTMENT,} FRANKFORT, .March 11th,. 1863. To His JiJxcellenay, the Governor of Delaware : · Sm: I am instructed by the General Assembly to transmit you the enclosed resolutions, with the request that you lay the same be­ fore the Legislature of your State. · . Very respectfully; . J. F. ROBINSON. 6 RESOLUTIONS ON. FEDERAL RELA'l'IONS ADOP'l'ED BY 'rl-IE LEGISLATURE OF KENTUCKY. l. Resolved, 'l'hat our institutions arc assailed by au armed rebel­ lion on· one side which can only be met by the sword; and on the other by unconstitutional acts of Congress, and startling· usurpations of power by the Executive, which we have seen by experiment can be corrected by tho ballot-box. Policy, as well as principle, requires that Kentucky shall await tho process of reform, which is slow but sure, and refrain from all nnlawfnl and unconstitutional acts which have already broug·ht tel'l'ible calamities upon the country, whilst we invoke the aid of all patriotic men, to avert the evils that threaten our free iustitntions. · 2. Resolved, That this G\}ncral Assembly declares, as before it has often times declared, that t;hc State of Kentecky hath cvcrheen, and is, loyal to the Government of the United States of America, ancl is determined to maintain tlrnt 1oyaHy against both domestic and foreign foes. 3. Resolved, Thut this General Assembly recognizes a manifest difference between any administration of the Government <and' the Government itself. 'l'he one is transitory, limited iii duration only to that period of time for which the ollicers elected by the people arc charg·ccl with ,the conduct of the same ; the other is permanent, in­ tended by its founders to endnrc forever. 4. Rcsoll!ed, 'l'hat this General Assembly now, in the exercise of its right to differ in opinion with the National Exccuti ve, enters its solemn protest against the Proclamation of tho President of the United States, dated 1st of Junuury, 1863, hywhich he assumes ~o cm::rncipate all .slaves within certain States--'holding the same to be unwise, unconstitutional, and void: · 5 .. Resolved, 'l'hat this Ge1ieral Assembly declares that the power · which has recently been assumed by the President of the United·· States, whereby, under. the g·uise of military necessity, he has pro­ cluimec1 11ml extended martial law over States where war did not exist, and has suspended the writ of habeas corpus, is unwarranted by the Constitution, and its tendency is to subordinate civil to military authority, and to subvert constitutional and free government. 6. Resolved,.That this General Assembly declines to accept the President's proposition for Emancipation, ·us contained in his J;>rocla- mation of the lllth May, 1862. 'T. Resol·ved, That this General Assembly deems it proper further to declare, thut it; together with all ·the loyal people of the State, would hail with pleasure and delight any munit'estation of a desire on the part of the Seceded States to return to their .allegience to .the Government of the Union, and would, in such event, .cordially and earnestly co-operate with them in the restoration of peace, and the procurement of such guarantees as would give security to, all their interests and right~. 7 8. Resolved, That Kentucky will adhere to the Constitution and the Union as the best-it may be the last-hope of popular freedom; and for all wrongs which may have been committed, or evils which may exist, ·will seek redress under the Constitution and within the Union, by the peaceful but powerful and irresistible agencies of the suffrages of a free people.

  • Arc, and They Must Be, Under out Form of Government Especially, the Very Foundation of Social and Public Chilracter and Political Prosperity
    112 arc, and they must be, under out form of government especially, the very foundation of social and public chilracter and political prosperity. The matter of inquiry intrusted to your committee ,is specific, and limi­ ted to the subject suggested in the resolution under which they were ap­ pointed. But were their duty more general, it would be impossible upon the pr.esent occasion, to point out the defects in the present system of free schools, and the errors. and imbecility in its administration-or to propose any. particular or partial changes 01• modification. To advance merely theoretical opinions as to a reformation, either in the principles or opera· tion of the system, would conduce to no beneficial or practical result. The subject is too vast to be grasped by the mind, without adequate and labo­ rious investigation. It would require the ptttient exercise of much research and reflection, to obtain a thorough 1,md available mastery of it, without which all suggestions must necessarily be but the crude theories of imper­ fect knowledge. That many arrors and imperfections exist, is almost uni. versally acknowledged;-and all men .will admit, that there is much room for improvement, if ngt an absolute necessity for entire and radical refor­ mation. Your committee believe that the matter of most pressing importance, is to institute a careful and comprehensive investigation into the actual and practical results of the present school system, since the period of its adop· tion. Without this, neither its real value, nor its evils and abu~es can be properly ascertained; and as the object of any change would be strict uti­ lity and the most economical mode of improvement, it is indispensably pre-requisite to begin in the proper ma,nner, and to.understand precisely what is the· disease which is to be remedied.
