We Protest Solemnly In The Face Of

A Question Settled By Violence, Or In Disregard Of Law, Must Remain Unsettled Forever.

Governments Rest On The Consent Of The Governed, And That It Is The Right Of The People To Alter Or Abolish Them At Will Whenever They Become Destructive Of The Ends For Which They Were Established.

Let Men Not Ask What The Law Requires, But Give Whatever Freedom Demands.

A Government, To Afford The Needful Protection And Exercise Proper Care For The Welfare Of A People, Must Have Homogeneity In Its Constituents. It Is This Necessity Which Has Divided The Human Race Into Separate Nations, And Finally Has Defeated The Grandest Efforts Which Conquerors Have Made To Give Unlimited Extent To Their Domain.

We Protest Solemnly In The Face Of Mankind, That We Desire Peace At Any Sacrifice, Save That Of Honor.
