THE NEBRASKA pERFIDY AND SLAVERY AG-
GREssIok--NEw YORK STATE CONVENTION,
TO BE HELD AT SARATOGA SPRINGS, AUGUST
l6, 1854.
To The People Of the State Of Neso York:
The undersigned, in pursuance of the pow
ers vested in them by the great Mass Meeting
of the citizens Of New York. assembled in the
Park on the 18th of May last:
In compliance, likewise, with the recon-
mendation contained in the resolution adopted
by the meeting Of the citizens Of Albany held
at the Capitol of the State on the 23d day OF
March last:
Ia view, also, of the repeal Of the Missouri
Compromise by the passage of the Kansas-Ne-
braska Territorial bill, and Of the alarming
aggressions still further contemplated by tho
slave power Of the country, as disclosed in the
recent address of the members of Congress who
voted against the Nebraska bin
Do ianate the voters of the State to meet by
their Delegates in ConUention, at the village Of
Saratoga Springs, on Wednesday, the 10th day
of August next to consider what measures are
necessary and proper
For the protection Of the free States from
Southern aggression and Northern treachcry !;
For the recovery Of the rights Of the free
States az an integral part of the Union; and
For the rescue Of the General Government
from the control Of the Slave Power.
To insure uniformity of representation in the
Convention it ia recommended that five Dele
gates be appointed for each Assembly Dis
trict and that the electors of tho several coun-
ties assemble Immediately, for the appointment
of their representatives.
AS it is desirable that the entire State should
be represented, those only should be selected
as Delegates who will make it duty to at
tend and all Delegates should be furnished
with proper credentials from the appointing
power.
Without aiming or desiring to control the
action of the Convention, the undersigned sug-
gest that the following topics, among others,
may command its attention:
First. The propriety Of cenvening Congress
of Delegates from all the free States and Ter
ritories and from such portions Of the slave
States as sympathize with tho objects proposed
for confederation in the general call of this
Convention.
Second. The necessity of thorough prepara-
ton for the fall elections, that mono may be
sent to the Congress of the United States, ex-
cept those who can be relied on for firm and
croachments Of the slave representation.
Third The best method Of permanently re-
stricting the institution Of Slavery to the limits
prescribed by the Missouri Compromise, and
the absolute and complete release Of the peo-
ple of the free States from any participation
in or responsibility for its longer existence
The present condition Of our national affairs,
growing out Of the persistent and unrelenting
encroachments of the Slave Power, portend no
common perils and should be met with both
wisdom and energy.
That the deliberations of the Convention
may commend themselves to the approval and
support of our llow-citizens, each Assembly
District should be fully represented, and by
men Of firmness and discretion.
