The resolutions were drawn up by member
hitherto of the Wing Party, and appeared 10
give general satisfaction. The necessity of q
new organisation, to meet the responsibilities Of
the crisis, was fully recognised. The cunning
suggestion of the Albany Evening Journal,
that the Wings might join temporarily in a
popular Anti Slavery movement, and yet main
tain their old organization, name, &C., doubt
less with view to future utilization with the
Badgers and Claytons Of the South, was utter
! ly disregarded, as was also the recommends
ton made in some quarters to aim at nothing
but the restoration of the Missouri Compro-
mise. Wings, Democrats, and Independent
Democrats, met each other frankly and cor
daily agreed to surrender old organizations old
preiudices and unite upon one platform in sup
port of one ticket, under the name, Repubh-
cans.

Rescued, That after this gross breach of
faith and wanton afront to us as Northern
men, we hold ourselves absolved from all "com-
promises" except those expressed in the Con-
stitution for the protection of Slavery and
| Slave-owners; that we now demand measures
of protection and immunity for ourselves, and
among them we demand the REPEAL OF THE
FUGITIVE SLAVE Law, an act to abolish Slavery
in the District of Columbia.
RESOLVED, That we notice without dismay
certain popular indications OF shareholders on
the frontier OF said Territories, of a purpose on
their part to prevent by violence the settlement
of the country by non-slaveholding men. To
the latter we say, be of good cheer, persevere
in the right; remember the republican motto,
"THE NORTH WILL DEFEND You"
Resolved, That postponing and suspending
all differences with regard to political economy
or administrative policy, in view of the immi-
! nent danger that Kansas and Nebraska will be
grasped by Slavery, and thousand miles OF
| slave soil be thus interposed between the tree
States of the Atlantic and those OF the Pacific,
we will act cordially and faithfully in unison
to avert and repeal this gigantic wrong and
shame.
