A meeting was held at Columbus, Bartholo-
new county, on the 9Th July, 1854, at which
Walter G. Prather presided, and S. w. Kelly
and c. Stebbins were Secretaries.
The resolutions were to the effect that the
Douglas Nebraska bill is warfare upon free
dom, and that its abettors have dishonored the
American name; that it has impaired the good
neighborhood Of American citizens, hazardcd
the peaceful settlement Of our Territories, and
endangered tho paramount interests Of the
American Republic; that they will steadfastly
oppose the reelection Of any and every member
Of Congress who voted for the repeal Of the
Missouri Compromise; that tie war upon Free
dom by the Slave Power calls upon us, in self
defence, to resist that power, and they therefore
pledge their unqualified, sieadfast, and unyicld-
ing resistance, in all lawful and upright ways,
against the encroachmonts and extension Of
said power, even unto the end; that those
noble men in Congress who 50 resolutely OPP
posed the Kansas and Nebraska bill to tho end,
have deserved and shall receive their most cor-
dial appreciation and regard that they will
waive all former party predictions, and in
concert by all lawful means, seek to place
every branch of the Federal Government in
the hands of men who will assert the rights Of
Freedom, restore tho Missouri Compromise, and
refuse, under all circumstances, to tolerate the
extension Of territory secured to Freedom BY
that Compromise.

The guilty scenes of the capture OF Burns were
set forth ia appropriate language and solemn
warning. So fofcible was the rebnke that
some Of those in cffcc were understood to have
been unwilling to have it printed, but their
unwillingness was oyerruled and il is TO ap-
pear in due season. In many other. places
similar orations have been delivered in some
cases by the ministers of the parish. There Is
coming at last state Of things in which the
term Abolition will be no distinction or badge

The State of Maine has proved herself wor-
thy Of her beautiful cognizance, the north star,

her has emanated discovery in legislation

ties for the attainmentiof glorious object ;
and what she did for Temperance once she will

Vansant was able, clear, and well-informed, in
laying down and applying the principles of

We say, then, lot the people Of the South act
upon the advice Of the Richmond Enquirer and
others, and cease to patronize Northern jour-

to promote healthy Anti-Slavery sentiment

1t is said that the Know NothiDgs are SAN

the Richmond Enquirer denounccs tho new

ia evidently pleased at their successes, and dis.

pendent Democratic journal OF the ultra

Judging from tho gusto with which the editor
records their recent SUCCESSES
We are at loss to understand what there
is in Virginia, TO awaken 50 much zeal in the
Know Nothing cause, as they have only a hand

SAINT ANTHONY, MINNESOTA.

A Convention Of those opposed to the domi-
nation Of the Sectional Slaveholding Interest
in the Federal Government was held on the
4th Of July, 1854, in the Congregational
church at st. Anthony. The Hon. Drummond
Farnsworth was chosen Chairman.
The resolutions, adopted unanimously, are
as follows: that, while the repeal Of the Mis-
souri, Compromise gives abundant evidence
that no reliance is to be placed on the good
faith Of the Slave Power, it also affords q pre-
cedent for the repeal of all Compromises with
Slavery, which they trust the North will not be
slow to follow; that while they loathe the per-
fdy Of those Northern Congressman who sold
themselves to commit the Nebraska Iniquity,
they feel that the applause Of the whole human
race is due TO those faithful men who resisted
to the last, from principle, the corrupt power
of the Administration, and the tyranny of the
majority; that the time has come when the
people Of the free States should unite with
the friends Of Liberty throughout the land, in
forming holy League Of Freedom; y = to
sacrifice party predictions whenever and
wherever they interfere with humanity, or the
honor and welfare Of the country, and to de-
liver the nation as speedily as possible from
the foul crime and ignominy Of being q slave
holding people.
A Freedom Provisional Committee" was
appointed, with instructions to mature . plan
for the organization Of the friends Of Freedom
throughout the Territory, and call Conventions
at their discretion.

CHIC FOR FREEDOM.

A correspondent Of the National Era wrj-
ting from Columbus under date Of July i4th,
furnishes us with the following ell-condensed
sketch:
aAn immense meeting Of the freemen Of
Ohio convened here yesterday About 1000
delegates were in attendance, from nearly every
county in the State. Hon. B. +. Letter, Of
Stark, formerly Democratic Speaker of the
House of Representatives, was chosen Chair
man. assisted by twenty-onc Vice Presidents
A committee on resolutions was appointed,
of which Judge Spalding, Of Cleveland, was
Chairman. Hon. j. M. Root, Hon. N. s.
Townshend, and Hon. 4. r. Eckley, late Wing
candidate for United States Senator, were also
prominent members Of the committee A re-
port was unanimously presented by the COM
mittee, declaring against the Nebraska swindle,
demanding it's repeal, and declaring against all
further encroachments Of the Slave Power,
against all future slave territory, and the adj
mission Of all Slave States, which was unani-
mously adopted with great applause by the
Convention. Hon. p. r. Swan, Of Columbus,
one Of the ableet lawyers and most popular
men Of Ohio, was unanimously nominated for
Supreme Judge. Hon. Jacob Blickensdeffer, OF
Tuscarawas formerly q member OF the Board
of Public Works, and one Of the most upright
and able men who has ever been in the public
service in Ohio, was unanimously nominated
for the Board Of Public Works. Wings, Free
Democrats, and Old Line Democrats, acted in
cordial harmony, and they predict majority
Of fifty thousand for the ticket this fall
The Convention embraced more talent than
any other Convention, probably, which ever
assembled in Ohio. Among the prominent
speakers were the following ex members of
Congress: Hon. A. NJ. Root, Hon. N. 5. Towns
bend, Hon. B. S. Cowan, Hon. Jacob Brinker-
hoff, Hon. Rufus p. Spalding late Supreme
Judge Judge Probssco Of Lebanon, General
Eckley, &c.
After the platform was adopted, despatch
was teegraphed to the Indiana State Conven-
ton, stating the result Of their action. reply
was received, that Indiana had that day unan.
imously repudiated the Nebraska swindle, and
had organized for freedom. This was received
with desfening applause.
Yesterdays proceedings mark new Era
in Ohio.
Yours for the right, +.
