p E AIDRdu, of Barre, . member of the recent fu
convention, expressed to day. and hoped that IL tho
other party did not to the whigs there would
at j. at be contrntion between them MANY wh,rs
bad come to tho conclusion that on fai urc OF thi,
convention to como fully up to the mark tn. party
would be smaller than ever but With the action of the
convention they had fault to end and he could con-
ctivc of why the friends the recent c,nyen
ton should not act with this.
Ors loHD, late Speaker Of .ths-.p~ran- naorung
hs vas opposed to denaticnalizing the whig party
fraught with great evil TO the country 1t
the democratic party that passed the Nebraska ILL.,
and that party alone friendly TO slave extension
and by the destruction Of the whg party the hope Of
preventing further slave extension would be swept
away Mr. Lord referred to tho course of many demo.
cratic members of Congress the North as rec cant

Nebrask, bill H. had however, No fcs- 10 the coaic
Of freedom over slavery, and he believed teat the
triumph the friends of slavery extension would be
triuu ph with barren sceptre Nebraska AMI Kansas
he believed were destined I, be fIee despite of all the
efforts OF the enemies of freedom.
Mr. BRASscoSp, Of Holyoke, recently from Nebraska,
was called upon to speak the resolution relative to
Nebraska emigration. After uttering string of anti
slavery sentiments, snd euogziug tho Nebraska and
Kansas country he said the question rested with the
North whether the Territory should be free dov ,ei
TO slavery Already did slavery exist in those Terrific
ries for he had IL, and unless the Indifference OF
The North should be the institution Of slavery
would bo established.
W. CHAsDtRH, of Boston, was no friend Of extreme
measures either side, and made strongly sarcastic
spec on the character Of those who claim be the
representatives of chivalry and yet violate TO the full
est extent its principles.
The resolutions then unanimously adopted, and
the Convention adjourned.
The afternoon session thin in numbers in compaIi
son with the forenoon meeting None OF the pro-
minent men expected, such Winkoop, Choste, Eve
rett spd Lawrence, were present at any tina There
was very little enthusiasm infested during the whole
proceedings.
