favor of the Fugitive Slave Act, of regarding
the legislation of 1850 as finality, or of main
tanning Slavery within the Jurisdiction of the
Federal Government. In view of making a
Party of Freedom, let US begin right-take and
maintain the whole ground we are entitled to
under the Constitution.
The Pittsburgh Gazstte, in favor of union
of the friends of liberty, after remarking that
the several parties in Pennsylvania have made
their nominations for the Office of Governor,
urges union in the Congressional districts
GAS the different parties have selected their
candidates for Governor, We suppose there is
now no hope of the Anti Nebraska sentiment
of the State being concentrated ON one man.
The nominations are yet to be made In the
Congressional districts, and here it is not too
late to secure united action. What we propose,
and should rejoice to see is, that in every Con-
gressional district convention of AnttNebras-
ks men shall be held, composed of voters of all
parties opposed to the repeal of the Missouri
Compromise, which convention shall nominate
candidate for Congress"
The Albany Evening Journal seconds this
motion.
"Such union is practicable, and may be
rendered efficient. Those who have been true,
whether Wings or Democrats, should be sus-
tanned, while no man, not known to the dis
trict as in sympathy with Freedom, and willing
to pledge himself to the Repeal of the infa-
nous measure Just enacted, and of all others Of
a kindred character, should receive the sufrages
of the People.
"Such a union for such q purpose, honestly
formed and faithfully adhered to, would result
in the election to Congress of a majority who
would stay the tide of injustice and oppres-
sion--efficiently begin the work of Repeal, and
prevent the new encroachments already ipitia-
ted by the Propagandists."
In Indiana, late proceedings in the District
represented by Daniel Mace, show that the
People have already begun to execute their
policy. An immense meeting in the court
house at Lafayette, of men Of all parties, was
addressed by MIR. Price, in speech, severely
denunciatory of the Nebraska Bill and its sup
porters, after which the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
" RESOLVED, That we heartily approve of the
conduct of the Hon. Daniel Mace our Repre-
sentative in Congress- in the discharge of his
duty in voting against the Nebraska bill, and
tender him cur cordial thanks for his manly
course.
" ReSolUed, That when great moral questions
are at issue, we will not suffer our consciences
to be bound down to party creeds or party
nominations, but we pledge ourselves on all
such occasions to vote for such measures and
such men only as we believe will illustrate and
enforce our principles, regardless of party or
CARNATIONS or consequences.
ReS0lUed, That we utterly repudiate and
Al Il
resolutions upon the Nebraska bill, adopted by
the so-called Democratic State Convention,
held at indianapolis on the oath inst, over
which the Hon. Jesse D. Bright presided, and
a majority of which he evidently controlled,
and that we sympathize with the large and
respectable minority, who were overruled and
misrepresented in that Convention
