power unprecedented in the annals OF congress /

ne deed Is done. IL is done with a e ear pro.
c'ahation by the Administration antiby Gon-
gress, that the principles which it contains ex
tend not only to Kansas and Nebraska but 10
al the other territories now he onging to the
United States and to all which hereafter may be
acquired. 1t has been done unnecessarily and
wantoniy, becaus there was no pressure for the
organization OF governments in Kansas and Ne
braska. neither Of which territories cuntained one
lawful nhabitant who was citizen of The Uni
ted States, and because there was not only no
danger Of disunion apprehended but by this T, ok
less measure the free States have lost all the
guaranty for freedo in the territories contained
in former compromises white the States both
slave and free, nave lost the guarantees of har-
mony and union " hich those compromises afford
ed. 1t seems pain to us, that fatal as the meas
ure is in these respects, it is only cover for fur
ther propagandlsIn of slavery in the future The
object of the Administration, and of the many who
represent he slave States is as We believe, to
prepare the way for anneyng half dozen of the
) aes out of NeXico to b admitted also as slave
States These acquisition are to be made
peacefully, if they can be purchas d at the cos Of
hundreds of millions II they cannot be made
peacefully, then at tn. cost of war with Mexico
and war with Spain, and war with England
and war with France, and at the cost of an al
lance with Russia, scarcely less repugnaut
Unmlsakable indications also appear of purpose
to annex the eastern part of st Domingo, and
so to subjugate the whole island, rcstoring it TO
the dominion of slavery-and this is to be follow
ed up by an lance with Brazil and tn extern
sion Of slavery in the va ley of the Amezon. 1t
is for you to Judge whether, when slavery shall
have made these ad iitions to the United States
it will not demand unconditional submission on the
part of the fee States, and flling in that de
mand. attempt withdrawal of the slave States,
and the organization of separate empire in the
central region ot the continent From an act So
UNJUST and wrong in itself, and fraught with CON
sequences 81 fearful, W. appeal 10 the people

s-ves 1t is no time for rxaggerailun or for mas
sion. and We therefore speak calmly of The past
and warn You in sober seriousness of the future
1t would not become us, nor is il necessary, t.
suggest the measure which ought to be adople
in this great exlgency For ourselves, we ar
ready to do all that shall be in our power to re

STATE CONVENTION,
Postponed to July hS, 1854.

In consequence of the general desire mani
tested by the now aroused and alarmed masses
of all parties, in different parts of the State,
for a Mass CONVENTION Of its People, without
distinction Of Party, to unite for the formation
of more efficient PARTY OF FREEDoM a. ainst
the Pro-Slavery Policy adopted by the Southern
Members of Congress and the present Admins
tration, the Free Democratic State Committee
upon the advice of many of the leading FREQ
Democrats in various sections of the State, hav'
thought best to postpone the State Convention
previously set for the 29th day of June, to thu
18th day Of July ensuing.

NJ, EDITOR Permit me to say word in
reply to friend Stimson- There are something's
contained in his communication which canno,
fully endorse. Although am younger in years,
still am older in Frccdom's cause, than him
self. have always been close adhcrent OF
the principles and candidates put forth by the
Liberty and Free Democratic party. 1t has al
ways been our motto that when man or set OF
men adopted our Platform, by firm resolves and
corresponding action, we were not at liberty to
impugn their motives. Bat the Colonel, see,
is a little in the habit Of taking the field by
storm. But let me say to my good old friend
be COOL candid and charitable. There is nc
time to be lost in disputng about names and
forms. The crisis has come, and let us buckle
on our arnor and 60 forth to meet the common
foe. But my friend has stepped back to stir up
the feeling which has long been slumbering witt,
the dead. Why twit the Wings of passing
anti-slavcry resolutions, and voting for Henry
Clay, John Tyler and others' Have we not
been in the slme fog All the difference is,
the political sun rose little sooner in my mind
than in yours, and II little sooner in yours than
in these Wings When friend Stimson Joined
our ranks, we hailed him with pleasure. Now
with the same pleasure welcome Judge Royce.
Judge Royce stands on quite as favorable plat
form as did Mr.. Van Buren, when We run him
for the Presidency, notwithstanding he once
gave his casting vote for the engrossrnent of a
bill, which had for its object tho breaking open
of the mails, and taking out the anti-slavery
matter and burning it. Still he became sound
on the Slavery question, and would, if he had
been elected on that platform, carried out our
sentiments, fully reser,i ing to himself his own
particular views in regard to banks tariffs, a
hard money currency, &c. So with Mr.. Royce.
have no doubt that he will como up fully to
the resolutions Of the Convention which nom-
mated him, reserving to himself his private views
relative to minor considerations. That privilege
we all enjoy. h.. .ts..a e.4a
! do not fully agree with the Brandon Post,
when he says we are going en- p'dsse for the
Wing Ticket. But do think, if there be two
distinct nti-slavery tickets run in this State,
the minority party will suffer great loss, there
osing such strong increasing feeling for eifec-
y. ae'lon' In the language of Ethan Allen,

TIE CONGRESSIONAL ADDRESS which we lay be-

he members of Congress of the free States both
Democratic and Wing, who voted against the
Nebraska Bill in meeting held for that pur.
pose, it is now conGdentally asserted, the Unior
md other Administration organs to the contrary
notwithstanding. 1t is clear, able and exceed
'ngly moderate in tone, but for all that, has
produced prolisious nuttcrins among the
'aveocrats. We sincerely hope every member
who signed or voted to adopt that Address viii
be returned to Congress, if candidate.

On the 22d Of September, 1858, when the
editor of the Freeman uttered no word OF sylla-

his preferences in regard to which of the old
PARTIES the Free Sellers should cooperate with
OR whether they should cooperate at all with
eithor, but had, as he did tell after the matter
was decided on, four weeks after, maintained
silence and the most strict neutrality-whel
Mr. Barber was writing letters to us, and 9th
ers, declaring himself totally uncommitted, ant
could decide on no bargain till the Legislator,
met, and when Mr.. Field had, as far as hi
friends could learn, expressed no wish for any
bargains, and no preference or leaning cithe
way-when the matter in question stood thus
the Mercucy put forth an editorial, in which tn
following passage occurred

ADDRESS
The eighth section of the act for The admission
of Missouri intu the Unon known as the Mssou i
Compromise Law, by which the introduction of
slavery into the regions now known as Kansas
and Nebraska was inrever pr"hibiled, Las been
repealed. That law which, in 1890, quoted a
Controversy which menaced III" Union, aud upon
which you have so long reposed is ob itelated
from the atutc book We had no reason to en-
pee, any such proposition, when we assembled
here six months ago, nor did Nous expect it. N"
state, no ci,zeu of any state had demanded the
repeal. 1t seems duty We owe to the country
to STATE the grounds upon which we have stead
Easily though Intellectually opposed this alarming
and dangerous act H
You need not be told that the Slavery question
lies at the bottom oft AS it was the Slavehold-
ing mower that demanded the enactment Of the
Missouri compromise, so il is the same p''wer
that has now demanded its abrogation African
slavery was regarded and denounced as great
evil by the American colonies, even before the
Revolution, and those colonies which are now
aveholding States were equally earnest in such
circumstances with those which are now free
States Colonial avs framed TO prevent the in
crease Of slavery, were passed by the king of
Great Britain This exercise of arbitrary power
to enlarge and perpetua,e system UNIVERSAL y re-

lying northwest Of the Ohio by which il was e.
clared that there shall be neither slavery nor in
voluntary seryitude, except for the punishment
Of crime. The great and huurshing States since
