The FREEMEN OF MICHIGAN IN COUNCIL
On the 9th inst. Mass State Convention Of
the people of Michigan, opposed to the Ne
braska bill, was held at Jackson, without dis
tinction of party. Many of the most eminent
and influential men in the State, representing
all partses, were present, and took part in the
proceedings.
The resolutions adopted take the strongest
ground of opposition to the encroachments of
the slave power, and advocate union of all
parties to oppose them. Among the resolu-
tons are the following:
Resolved, That notice without dismsy certain pop
ular indications Of Shareholders the frontiers OF said
territories OF purpose their part prevent by Vio
lenc the settlement Of the country by Notwithstanding
men To the latter say Be Of good cheer persevere
In the rights remember the republican motto TAs North
1sin defend you"
Resotped That, postponing and suspending all differ
ences With regard to political economy, administrative
policy in view OF the imminent danger that Kansas and
Nebraska viii be grasped by Slavery, and thousand
miles Of Slavery and thousand miles Of slave soil be thus
interposed between the free States Of the Atlantic and
those Of the Pacific will cordially and faithfully in
unison, to avert and repeal this gigantic wrong and
shame
Resolved That In view Of the necessity Of battling for
the first principles Of Republican Government and against
the schemes of arstOcacy the revolving oppres
sye with which the earth was ever cursed or man de-
based will cooperate, and be known as RgPUpIIcASs
until the contest be terminated.
The Republican ticket for State officers,
which was nominated by the Convention.
contains the names of five Wings, three Free
Democrats, and two old line Cass Democrats.
The Detroit papers speak Of the ticket as
being the best ever nominated in the State,
and say that the opponents of the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise will carry tlsy State
by large majority.
This is certainly good beginning for
Michigan, and we trust that the Freemen Of
Massachusetts, will not be backward in emu
lating so good an example.
NEW York ON THE MovE.-The call for a
peoples convention in New York, without
distinction of party. for the purpose of taking
. united stand against the usurpations of tn.
slave power, appears to meet with great fayol
in all parts of the State. The LockpOrt Dali,
Journal says "the names attached to the cal
are a. prestige of success" The Wayne Co
Wing hopes that the convention will not only
embrace full representation on the quadruple
basis, but that it may be composed of intelli-
gent, prudent, and sagacious men, who will
have a far higher regard for the cause than fol-
themselves or for party considerations. The
Syracuse Daily Journal says. g We hail the
call with gladness, and trust that immediate
measures viii be taken, in this city and in
every tewn in this county, to carry out the
Recommendation Of the last paragraph of the
above call" and secure full attendance Of
eli parties. The OtssgO Republican WHO calls
on Democrats. Wings, Abolitionists, Softs.
