md perh,ps they would not pass the rcsolu-
ton he had Just reao at this Time. Slavery
has ever been aggrcssi,' e. ana Is so yet.
Things have been done wb rse thun lEe pass
age of the Kansas aud Ncbra, ka StI' The
Convention ought, in his iudgms.1t,j 20 nave
gone still farther, aud proclaimed their 0oS
tiity 10 slavery, and their resolution tu CONF
bat it 5y all constitutional means. We
should take high ground, assume the name OF
Democrats, and with these we would sweep
Ohio as with whirwind.
Judge Spadng (FrecsoD said he wouldre-
ply to the gentleman. We are not h,re to-
day to make Pittsburgh or Columbus
platform. We are here to agree to act with
persons who do not perhaps agree with US in
many Of our views, but who cordially concur
with US in denouncing this last great gu rage.
Shall we drive off by asking too much, or
shall we agree with them on the great issue
of the day! Do we not gain much when we
get the people of Ohio to say there shall be
no more Slave States! &C. lie said he knew
something Of the resolution read by Mr.. Par
dee. He helped to get it up, and it was
written to assist in making Lewis Cass the
President of the United States. 1t was spe-
cially shaped to say something, and at the
same time, to mean nothing! Now, no Demo-
cratic Convention ever dared to look toward
| Washington and to pass such resolutions as
are here proposed. He trusted there would
! be union and harmony, and great victory
was certain.
Mr.. Harris, of Stark, cordially concurred
with the sentiments of the resolutions, and
spoke at some length of the evils of Slavery.
He had ever been u decided Anti-S!avery
man, and he was none the less SO at the pre-
sent time,
Hon. Jacob Brinkerholr Gree soil dem)
said when he was on his way to the Conven-
tion he had a presentiment that it would fail
to unite OH any practical plan Of operations,
and that the members, being composed of
II different political parties would not be able
agree. But, he was happy to say, that
impression had entirely disappeared. He
was satisfied now, that all would be well. He
trelated an anecdode Of franklin. When,
after arduous labors. the fathers of our Re-
putlc had finished the constitution of these
United States Crd, when the members were
gathering ornd the c. air of the great and
good Washington, as ttev we're signing that
instrument Franklin said he had frequently
: coked at the painting of the sun, &C., behind
tie Presidents chair, and had asked himself
f whether it was rising or setting sun. Tc-
day, said lie. that question is settled. IL IL
, tt3 rising sun! and cmbematica of this r.
public. SO We can say Cf Il is Convention,
and the laburs Of tc-day. This new unic is

f This Convention, he said, was composed OF
y lcadirg innentitl men in the three q. eat
= parties OF Ohio. Differing in some things,
tney agree to merge all Cor the time being,
j ana to unite vita others to accomplish il
; great good to the cause of human rights.
Let harmony, union. concession prevail, and
the triumph OF our common cause is just az
t ce;taiL as time. Mr. B;inkerholr is clear,
f vigorous sfeaker and always produces fine
Y impression as he did on this occasion

If made report. Nearly every county had
