The Convention of The German Liber-

this organization to organize a German

can party Of progress, which is to be
formed 10 counteract blind parlizanship,
and to free the Germans from the cluch>
es of united old Hunkerism and Jesui'i>m.
Resolved, That we consider The Nebras-
ka bill to be treacherous outrage against
the Republic and liberty, and that, should
it pass the House, we will never cease TO
agitate till it be repealed.
Resolved, That we hereby express our
feeling of deep gratitude to the Associa-
ton of Freemen, and 10 the Ladies AS
