[underline] 3 2 Resolved. That the Supreme Court of the United States should, by peaceful and constitutional measures, be so reconstituted as to relieve it from the domination of a sectional faction, and make it a tribunal, whose decisions shall be in harmony with the Constitution of the United States and the Spirit of our institutions, and, at whose hands all classes of persons in the United States, without regard to race or locality, shall receive even and exact justice.

                                                                      opinion

3 Resolved. That until this extra-judicial [stricken] decree of the Supreme Court, establishing Slavery in all the territories of the United States, and placing it beyond the reach of Congress or the people, is reversed and set aside, and, until the advance of our national flag ceases to be the advance of Slavery, it will be the paramount duty of the supporters of justice and liberty to resist any further acquisition of territory, which may be attempted, under whatever disguise, with the purpose of enlarging the area of an institution which is the scandal of this country and age.
