THE VIEWS OF THE GENERAL COMMITTEE.
We publish below the strong resolutions adopted ON
Tuesday evening by the Democratic Republican Gene
raj Committee in relation to the Abolition question:
they were designed to express the views Of the Party

resolutions a% upon Che whole are excellent weltimed,

" AT special meeting of the Democratic Republican
General Committee Of the city aud county of N. York,
ming of the 2hh day of September 1895 the following
preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted.
whereas the People ofthe United States in order 10
FORM more perfect UniOn-estabsh Justice ENSURE
domestic tranquilltyprovdcf for the common defence
promote The general welfare and the blessings Of
nery 10 themselves and their posirrty-did ordan and
establish the Constitution OF the United States in which
aiicr solemn, deliberate and full discussion provision,
was made coguisin the right of those States on which
WINE tney were Colonies, slavery had been imposed by
Great britain, and securing Iem respectively re-
presentation in the Federal Government persons held
10 service IN such Sates-cstabshing also the right of
individuals to reclaim such persons chit escape in
20 another State--any law regulation therein the
contrary notwithstanding:
And, whereas, Associations have oeen formed amonp
u.s. presses established, and publications circulated for
'se asowed purpose OF ehecting the immediate abolition
OF slavery IN the United States in direct violation OF
these provisions of the Constitution thereby putting in
jeopardy The peace prosperity and safety OF the nhabi
etude and disorder among the oexasperanp one
section OF the Union against another and thus creating
Sisahection jealousy and dstrust dangerous the well
oeing and nimica to the stability of National Con-
federation
And whereas the Democratic party has been equal
Y nrm and consistent in advocating and supporting the
rghts OF The People aud in defending the rights OF the
States believing both be essential to the happiness and
prosperity OF our common country:
Resoieed, That each State on becoming party to tie
Federal Compact reserved to itself all The powers and
attributes OF sovereignty expressly delegated by the
Constiluonand that in respect TO all powers not so
delegated, they are fee, sovereign and independent
Statcstha the relation of Master and Slave being eT
cusvey within the Jurisdiction and subject only To- the
Laws OF those States in which that relation xsts the
eherai Government cannot alter affect that rela
uon. And therefore, deem it only unconstitu-
tional but highly improper and eminentiy dangerous
70 The webeng and stability of the Oie that citizens
OIL one State should ntermeddle with internal regula
IONS wiiich are exclusively under the cognizance and
within the jurisdiction of sister State. Jealous of our
own rights we would view with indignation any inter-
,e'ence in our domestic concerns, that would have
tendency, even the most remote to introduce dscord
ana confusion, lead to instruction, unnge our pot-
cal reiatons, and subject thousands of fellow-c
Gems To ruthless violence and ndiscriminae slaughter
fesof1ed That the right of free discussion and the
freedom Of the press are and, o1etf to be regardeJ
cRED-yet like all other rights in civilized nations po,
ucuiary among sister States, and above ALL among mem
bers OF the same political familythese rights should be
exercised I'm conformity with the great the paramount
tne universal law Of scpreservaton-that we especial
~ dePrecaie their exercise in relation the exciting
question OF saverythat is aggravated violation Of
te great fundamental prccep do others yo
would that they should do YOU for citizens Of one
S'ae 10 FORM regular organized body, and ystemaca
pursue series OF incendlary directly calcu
lated to produce excitement and TO servie insurrec
ton, with It's consequent horrors in any OF our sister
Staes-tha the authors and abeors of such ant-socia
ana unchrlstan conduct, are, far as their nisouded
zeal Tor the abolition of slavery carries them hostile TO
the safety and happiness the peace md prosperity of the
Union-and II successful in their plans would ruin both
the master and the slave.
eSoiced That the Federal Constitution binding ON
all the States and that will oppose and resist every
attempt to nuliy any of its parts whether emanatiny
from The North OF the So.th the East or the West
that we cherish and viii guard it the palladium Of
our national greatness and glory of our security and
ProsPerty-he shield of domestic comforts and en-
eearnens the safeguard of peaceful 6rcsides and
haPPy homes And that regard every attempt to Sc
yer or to weaken the sacred bond of our Unon as Trea
son against the People
KeSOfced, That viii cooperate with our fellow ci-
tzens throughout the State Union in all corIstt,,-
tona and lawful measures and prevent the
evils threatened by the inflaton of few ianatca in
diyduas and to avert the fearful consequences of their
mischcvons medding and misguided zeal.
Resoiced That the foregoing preamble and resolution.
