Title continues, " ... together with a preamble and resolutions adopted by the Legislature accompanying the same." Printed on the first page is a letter introducing this proclamation by John Reynolds, Governor of Illinois, dated 24 December 1832 directed to the "fellow citizens of the Senate and House of Representatives." Jackson's proclamation attacks South Carolina's Nullification Ordinance (mandating statewide noncompliance with the protective tariffs of 1828 and 1832) of November 24, 1832. Jackson states that the Ordinance " ... prescribes to the people of South Carolina a course of conduct in direct violation of their duty as citizens of the United States, contrary to the laws of their country, subversive of its constitution, and having for its object the destruction of the Union ... " Jackson urges the Illinois assembly to support the preservation of the Union. Ends with the resolutions of the assembly pledging to support the laws and constitution of the country by Jesse B. Thomas, Secretary of State.
