Daily national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1854, 1854-06-06

The same time has been proposed by number
of papers in different parts OF the State /; and
we presume all will concur in that time. More
definite notice may be expected in our next
weeks paper"
This movement in Ohio meets with great fa-
vor in the other Northwestern States, formed
out Of the great Territory consecrated to Free
dom by the Ordinance Of 1887. That Ordl-
nance was passed on the 18th Of July, and it Is
fit that il should be commemorated by move
ment intended to redeem the country from the
rule Of Slavery.
The Sentinel of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, an
Old Line Democratic paper says Of the Ohio
Convention:
at is proposed that the Convention come
from tho People, and men Of all parties are in
vited to attend and take part in the proceed
ingr. The object is u good one, and the time
ftly chosen. Why should not q similar con-
yeltion, for similar objects, be held in each
one Of the free States, organized under that
great charter Of Freedom, whose birthday
would DO thus appropriately celebrated"
This suggestion meets with a prompt and
warm response from tho Free Democrat, Of
NlHWauKie, WHICH says
1--WE heartily second the proposition for a
State Convention of all the friends Of Freedom,
irrespective Of party, at Madison, on tho 18th
Of July, to organize for the repeal Of the Ne
braska bill, aud of all laws enacted for the
special benefit Of Slavery. We trust that all
the presses of the State, in favor Of such a
Convention will respond to tho proposition
promptly Such movement, inaugurated
kha int ha rit Of
muster to its standard an overwhelming ma
jority of the voters of the State and secure the
return Of three members to Congress-, State
Legislature and United States Senator,
pledged to Freedom and repeal. Shall such
contamination be effected? What say the
press and the people?"
Independent Democracy in Connecticut, says
"There are but two courses for us to pursue
now Either tho North must band together
in defence Of our liberties, or it must consent
to wear the cruel yoke of the Southern Power.
If tho Wing Party at this juncture will con-
sent to plunge mere Whiggery out Of sight,
and iesue q call for large Convention Of all
men opposed to the cnoroachments Of Slavery
OF all men who are willing to demand the re
peal of the Douglas bill, to construct now
Party Of Freedom-then the North will tri-
umph. Such Party would include almost
the entire body Of Northern Wings, the whole
Free Soil force, and large number Of Demo
cratic voters, 40 that, with but one or two cx-
ceptions, the free States would be carried for
Freedom
Meantime
"Thc duty Of Free Democrats is plain. Let
,ls continue to perfect our organization-let us
add to our strength; and whenever our friends
in the old parties will nnitc with us upon a
satisfactory platform, let us show them our
capacities for work. Until the time arrives
for u thorough organization Of our forces, we
can cooperate with the enemies of the Admin
istration whenever we can certainly advance
the interests of Freedom by 80 doing: and
when we cannot, we can alone, as often here
tofore, with courage and perseverance,, main
tam the right"
Everywhere the tone of the Independent
Democrats is at once firm, liberal, and concil-
iatory. They are willing to iorego their own
organization, for the sake of uniting the masses
Of the People in a great Party of Freedom.
re either Of the other Parties evince the Same
spirit, the work can be done. But, if both the
old Parties bIindly and stubbornly persist in
maintaining their compromising organizations
they must fight their own battles, and not call
upon Independent Democrats to help them,
Our friends will adhere to their own organiza-
ton, proceed earnestly to mature il, maintain
absolute independence of tho old Parties, pa
ticntly waiting for the time, when further out
ragcs by the Slave Power may snap asunder
all Party bands, and compel union of all
who would save the country from ruin.
The indications in Ohio ssen to point clearly
to the formation Of such union in that State
no,c. Other States may follow her example.
The New York Tribune is welding its infu-
ence to promote the policy. II says:
"The Pittsburgh GaSetie, very able and
influential Anti-Slavery Wing journal, advo-
Gates the nomination Of candidates for Con-
gress on the simple ground of opposition to
the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and
without regard to old party distinctions Such
IL the spirit Of the Cleveland Herald, conser.
vative Wing paper, and, indeed, of the great
mass OF free souled newspapers throughout the
North and West The Hartford Courant, alao
one Of the oldest and most powerful papers in
New England, calls for New Party the on
sego Democrat New York Barnburner paper,
for Northern Party; while the Troy Wing
Silver Cray goes for uniting the whole People
Of the free States in mn Anti Slavery League.
One common sentiment pcrvades the Northern
press in view Of the great danger of the coun.
try and Of Freedom. That sentiment is one
of union to resist and beat back tho encroach-
ments Of the Slave Power. In this they only
initiate the example Of the South There we
zee Democrats, Union men, Secessionsts, and
Wings, all combining, with few honorable
exceptions, to push forward the crusade Of SIa-
very against FREQ Soil and Free institutions.
1t is only by initiating this example, hinging
overheard all former distinctions Of party, and
organizing the forces OF the North and Vt Lib
erty in one compact phalanx, that the great
contest of the ago can be won. And we re-
ioice to SEQ that this truth is partly appreci-
ated by journals of power and respectabilty,
which have hitherto battlod under opposing
political banners
