The PeOpIe Moving.


There is scarcely county in the State o
Ohio, in which there has not been, or is about
10 he held Conventions OF the People, opposed
to the n ebrsska iniquity, and the repeal Of the
Mis. .ouri Compromise. We might Gil up our
columns every week with proceedings and res
outions expires i've Of the deep feelings touch.
ing this nome tous question.
There ia general uprising Of the freemen o
the State and they are determined that thi'
great and hagra Mt outrage shall be entirely effa'
ced from our National escutcheon. They can.
not submit 10 be the slaves Of the South, anC
we rejoice that they are in earnest, and ar'
united in the support of Free dom and Public
Faith.
The assembling OF the Convention at Colum
bus, yesterday, composed of all who condemn
the reputation by Congress, for the interes
of Slavery, OF so much Of the compact OF 8 20
as vas favorable TO Freedom, will tend to con
centration of efforts which the cause minentl!
needs, and tell nightly the history Of tn,
South. The subjoined remarks from the New
York Tribune, are expressiv OF our own view
as to the duties of our Representatives to the
next Congress-
"lf we are to re-establish the landmark o
Freedom which has been so ruthlessly and per
fidiousy torn down, we must do il through th'
next Congress, and to de so we must lose NJ
single district through cross purposes and doub
10 nominations. A House de eternnedly favor
able to the right can carry il over all oppos
ton. Let a majority Of that House earnestly
determine TO accomplish the restoration of tn,
Missouri line, and it need not wait TO the enc
Of its first session to see the work performed
All il has to do is to attach first, to The Dehcien
cy bill, then to the Civil and Diplomatic ApprO
priaton bill proviso in substance, as follows
"Prorided, That so much Of the act o 1851
establishing the territories of Nebraska ant
Kansas as relates to thu eighth section of tn,
act known as the Missouri Compro Use il
hereby repeaed"-
and just keep it att nched and the job is done.
If the Senate should strike ii out. just re-ennc
it and send back the bill; if the Presiden
should veto the bill on accou Mt of it, get up
new one, and put in the Proviso. If the con
temners of the Peoples Will see fit to cut OF
their own supplies rather than let the Provist
pass, so be il. But they would soon sicken o
this operation and take their money, even witt
the Poviso attached.
"Sha we have House resolved TO act a
become the Repres enstives of high -souled
liberty loving Freemen? To have it, we mus
elect it; and to this end UNION is Indispensable
We trust, therefore, that the obstacles founded
in the absence of County Committees aud loca
organizations generally will be overcome"
SO far as the State Of Ohio is concerned th,
matter now rests with the Peope-not witt
any one political party all Freemen, Of all par
ties, must meet on common ground casting for
mer party predictions TO the winds, and pre-
scribe bounds. over which Slavery can mere
pass; saying, "itus far, and NO FARTHER.
Future generations will hold them responsible,
| il they perform not their duty. Doubly armeC
are they whose cause is just.
