4. That we hail with joy the recent firm, dignified and patriotic special message of the President of the United States, and heartily endorse his late efforts in defense of the same, and in enforcing the laws of Congress; and that the Union-loving citizens and Representatives of those States who labor with devoted courage and patriotism to withhold them from the vortex of coercion, are entitled to the admiration and gratitude of the whole people.
5. That the Governor be requested to forward copies to the President and the State Governors.
