The Rising Of Dough.

The great Buchanan Meeting in favor o
the Extension of Slavery, held at Philadel
plIia on Friday evening, was presided over
by Charles Brown, (eX-M. G. who dived deep
or into -Slaverysm and came up nas-
tier than any other man in the last Congress,
aud addressed by John Cadwalader, Col
Page, Robert Tyler, Vincent !. Bradford, B
;. Brewster and Dau'l Doughcrty. Among
the Resolutions adopted were the following
certainly the most abject ever passed by
any meeting held in Free State:
| Resolved, That the Constitution Of the Uni
ted States vests in Congress no power to make
laws for the people of the Territories acquired
by or annexed to the Union, but only to dispose
oil and make nccdlul rules and regulations res
posting the territory or ether property belonging
to the United States.
Nc.olvcd, That, by virtue Of natural and
inalionablc right OF sclf-govclnmcnt, the people
OF the separate Territories. when politically or
ganizcd, have Tic power OF making their own
laws, and of executing them so far as they do
not conflict with the Constitution and laws OF
the United States and therefore have then cX-
elusively the right to prohibit or allow Slavery
in such Territories.
Resolved, That the principle Of the Wilmot
Proviso is not harmless political speculation or
abstraction, excused if erroneous, by its alleged
philanthropic intent, but Is the same ancient,
aristocraiic, pcrnicious and pestilcnt political
hcrcsy, (cvcr rcpudiotcd and denounced by tho
Democratic party Of the Union) which seeks,
by means OF an implication OF power Of Con-
gross, gradually 70 undermine State sovereign
~, destroy legislation in the respective States,
consolidate the Union, and establish on the
ruins OF State Rights a central sovereignty,
easily controlled or managed by tho fcw at the
expense OF the many.
licsolycd, That it Is contrary TO the spirit in
which the Constitution OF the Union was fran.
cd, mld by which alone it can be pcrpctuatcd,
to abolish, by act of Congress, the institution
Of Slavery in the District OF Columbia, Without
he consent OF tic people thereof and the con-
sent oil the States which coded tho District for
the use Of the Government of the United
States.
Resolved, That VIC call uron our State Lc-
gis,aturo 10 repeal all laws conflicting with that
section OF tho Constitution Of the United States
IN regard to the restitution of runaway slaves,
50 that tho fundamental obligation binding upon
every citizen OF the Union, and the law OF Con-
gross passed to carry it into effect, may no log-
er be set at defiance, and the rights OF our
southern brethren tramplcd under foot.
Resolved That VIC rejoice at the votes in the
National House Of Representatives, laying the
Nhmot Proviso upon the table. ns an appropr-
ate disposition of measure which did so much
to procrastinatc tho War with Mexico, and to
emborrass the late illustrous Administration
and which events have sufficiently proved TO be
without any practical importance, except for
purposes of irritation and insult: and we rejoice
also that hicssrs. Gilmore, Mann, Robbins.
McLanahan, Ross and Dmnitk. six of the
eight Democrats from this State in Congress,
voted to cNtinguish the iirebrand winch has
becn productive of so much disaster and disscn-
ton.
Resolved, That we heartily approve and en-
dorse the votes of such OF the Democratic
members from this county in the Legislature as
voted against the consideration Of certain Abo-
lition mstructing resolutions, of.crcd by Whig
member from Crawford; and that VIC earnestly
invoke them and their political associates in
both branches TO adopt such measures as may
be worthy Of the key that binds the noble urch
and to resist nD attempts to give aid and COM
fort TO the agitators who would undermine this
glorious fabric of Freedom.

injecting in Michigan that will put the face
of the North down so deep in the gravel us
