Chicago has Spoken!

The citizens of Chicago, without distinction o
party, held meeting on Thursday evening Of las
week to express their sentiments against the ex
tension Of slavery. Mayor Woodwork presided
assisted by regiment of vice presidents and sec
retaries. The meeting adopted a series of resolu
tons maintaining the free soil ground in reference
to slavery extension, and strongly adverse to com
promise" We copy the following resolution ii
reference TO Senator Douglass:
Resolred, That the proposition recently present;
ed by Hon. S. A. Douglass to the Senate of the
United States for the creation of new State O
the as yet, unsettled portions Of the territory o
Texas, TO be admitted into tho Union concurrcDty
with California, and also to provide territorial ~
vernmcnts for New Mexico and Deseret. which shnl
leave them open for the introduction Of slavery
as the basis of Compromise" with the Sl.v,
States invoivcss principle especially obnoxious +.
the Free states subversiys Of the is;le principle
Of the Constitution. An. violation Of the wiiLe
u sae nope oi ms state, aud the instructions
tic Legislature, whose expressed will it is his du
~ to obey, or resign.
We say it in all candor and with none but tht
most friendly feelings towards Judge Douglass
that in our opinion, thi, resolution expresses til,
sentiments OF the great mass of the people Of Hi
nois, without regard to party; and that he ha
made grand mistake if he supposes that the res
olutions Of the legislature Of our state agains
slavery extension were the mere result Of politi
cal f"tsse' and are no, heartily aequicsced in b,
three-fourths of our population. That there shal
be no more slave states admitted is as firmly fix
ed principle in the minds Of the people of Iii
nois, as that there shall be no slavery in thi
state. And Judge D. must get on this platform
and quit all bargaining with the slave power tha
looks to the possibility Of the creation of NOR
slave territory. or he will be greeted with new
set Of instructions from home Of such characte
that will preclude o. possibility ofevadinso or dod

pecially to exchange views and feelings with the
citizens OF Aurora and the owners of the Auroru

Msssrs. Cushman, Reddick, Hoes, and L. Leland
who were yesterday We undcrstand, at Aurora. We
shall doubtless have something to say in reference
to the result Of their conferences in our next.
meeting on the subject of this road was to be
