would inquire, either into the extent ot or4 precision, or the object to which the nioeey. was intended to be applied, for the purpose of . deciding upon it's consttutionalty!

 This General Assembly, therefore. places no reliance upon the Courts of the United States, or the Statesf far the protection of the citizens of Alabl ana. from the operation of such acts of Congress.

 They have, therefore, no other reliance I T d redress Cf grievances of this sort, except upon aretu,nng sense of justice and compro- mise, on that paivof Congress, upon the States themselves, rup@n the people, whose rights are violated. l

 Relying with implicit confidence, upon the correctness of the principles by Mir JefTersnn, and the Republican party in '98, this Ge- neral Assembly now, as d:d then the com monwcalth of Kentucky, Resoipes, that the several states composing the United States of America, are not united on the principle of unlimited submission to the General Govern mcnt, in it's unauthorized acts; but that by compact, under the style and title of a Consti- tuition for the United States, and amendments thereto, they constituted General Govern ment for specified purposes, delegated to that ! IGover.imCnt, certain definite powers, reserT- inS to each State the resduary mass of right to their own self governments; and that when soever the General Government assumes to

 itself powers not delegated, its acts are with out authority, void and of no torce. That to this compact each State accedcd as sose~. reign and independent and integral compact party; it's co-states forming as to itself the hlnef parry; tHit t,Ie Government formed by this compact was not made the exclusive and final judge of the extent of powers delegated toitself, since that would have made it's dis erection, and not the Constitution, the measure of it's powers.

 ReSoiucd, Mercf5re, 6y Me Senate and House of ReEreSentatipes of the State of A{a6amd fn General .4s8em6iy convened, hat by the Constitution of the United States, Congress has no right, either directly or in- directly, to collect taxes for any other purpose than the payment of the public debt and the payment of the ordinaty and incidental ex- penses of the several departments of Govern meht which have been expressly created by the Constitution, ResoiUed further, That the revenue arising to the Government by thu several Tariff acts previous to the Tariff of 1928, was sufficient for the payment of the Ipublic debt and the ordinary and incidental expenses of the Government; and that the Ta- rlff oi 1928. greatly increasing the amount of our taxes, was in direct violation of the Con stitnton of the United States.

 ResoiUed. further, That in the reduction of duties, Congress should commence with such articles as arc of the first necessity, and most commonly used by the majority of people; among. which we beg leave to epumerate, salt, iron, the coarser woolens and cotton goods, and the article of cotton bagging.
