A GOOD SIGN.

$. Resolced, That the measures PASSED BY Congress
ia 1850, for the settlement of highly exciting Sec
tionai questions, were adopted upon the principle OF
mutual concession and compromise, and :hat they
ought therefore to be maintained nviolate, and
ried out ia good fath ai sections Of the county,
This is the first Resolution Of the sort, passed by
any Wz,g Convention in the free States and we have
pubshed ltas matter ofjustice to Southern Wings.
This 10 good sgn,as 4aras it goes. Ali the Democrat
;e Conventions held thus far in the free States, have
taken even stronger ground; fdt the Democrats ol
those States do not hesitate to single ont the fugitive
slave law from the compromise. :" and to pledge
themselves to it in the most decided manner. -,
We hope the example Of the Connection. Wings
may be generally followed by their brethren Of the
free States. .-"t.:..'' 2s.. 80 %". .
