THE SARATOGA CONVENTION

AYTI-NEBRAsKA CoNyENTIoS.-Our contemporaries
discussing with considerable warmth, the subject OF
State Convention of of al parties opposed to the Ne
braska outrage TO meet at Saratoga the 10th Of August
pexi to agree upon in the words of the call,
" for the protection of the free States from southern
so and northern treachery for the recovery of the
of the free States integral part OF the Union,
and for the OF the General Government from the
control of the slave power urged by the friends
of this Convention the call for which signed by many
of the most influential Wings throughout the state and by
number of distinguished Democrats that five delegates
be sent from each Assembly District in the usual manner,
as Il large attendance is desirable.
We believe that the purpose of this call Is good one,
and recommend al opponents OF the Nebraska fraud
oin in the Convention to the extent OF connecting any
measures short of the formation OF new party, winch
may help efficiently and well, in the struggle be-
against the monsous encrOachmens OF the slave
power. There has not been foul Oifense to free
dom-a reekng treachery and betrayal OF sacred
trusts since this Republic began, than the black fraud
which has been sprsg upon the country by the present
Administration in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
We ready for any action which shall not disturb .he
integrity Of the Wing party the North, which may offer
hope of restoring that great compact to its original nvi-
oaby and Furnishing the traitors through whose base
and corruption has been rudely violated But We
believe that in this emergency the Wing party is alone
able 10 provide the required remedy and shall not
sent TO cripple it by any i'll starred analgamation. What
ever retnfOrcemeBts may TO from other parties
need not be sought through any formal codescence with
those parties We the stronger side, and they will
naturally act with if they cherish real desire to restore
the Missouri Restriction and punish its volaors II r
zeal is only pretended the ess have TO do with them
the better However, the Convention at Saratoga may
result in much good any rate, wish the most abund
ant succe its deliberations 50 FAR as they snail goo
secure the purposes announced in the call

Tur r,ry CoSVESTIoS We publish 20 day the call
shaken of last week for Convention OF delegates from
ali opposed to the Nebraska abomnaton, to meet at Sara
toea Springs on the 10th Of August next and also few Of
the names appended TO a call for Convention in Albany
to appoint delegates to the State Convention IL Will be
seen that the names of Of the most eminent men Of
the Wing and Democratic parties appear on these cas
! We sincerely hope that this movement viii be the
means of uniting ali the friends of the reestaoshment oil

The power do this now lies with The AntlN eoraska
Whies and Democrats; and if they fail to improve tke
onnounity the world viii doubtless Judge correctly a. 10
the honesty or by pocrsy OF THEN professions IL IS now
the easiest thing the world for them 10 RAISE par.

wicked desire of the leaders 10 stick To old party or,

! Chance for party bonOrs if they enter INTO new AZ
liances. And So for mess OF pottage IN Pso'PeV n
| they are willing to sacrifice freedom anu an

speak of the leaders because know the masses are
right Suppose, for instance that all the leaders OF Ine
Wing patty should 90 in for TINS Saratoga Convention
how many of the rank and file of the party would no'
heartily support the movement Not one IN hundred
and these would join the black forces Of slavery
where they belong BIT the masses will not lead, ano
there danger that thousands may be lead asy by cor
rupon and fraud One thing they may and ought to do
They should meet at once in the Counties and
speak their will in thunder This would straighten
crooked leaders mighty quick And this would urge
upon the people of ell the counties. Let calls for County
Conven iion be issued Immediately where they have
already been issued and let the people together in
their strength and declare their determination and leaders
will turn leap their head, and swear they have never
been out of the straight line of freedom Perhaps We
should not speak thus of all leaders for many OF their best
men are already leading il the right direction. But
generally leaders the most corrupt Of the party anc
In their course regard nothing but personal benefits
Hence we counsel the masses watch the leaders closely
and never follow unless they lead in the right direction
In this emergency of country the duty OF every man
| plain; LET each do that duty fer himself
