THE PEOPLE IN CoUYCIL-TBE CONVENTION OF YEs-
TERDAY.-Thc Convention which assembled yesterday in
all lis appointments and dongs came fully mp to the expec-
atOns OF the people Ii was without exception oneo the
largest and most respectable delegate conventions that
have ever witnessed in Ohio 1t composed of the in
eligen of the State, drawn from all the old organi
cations, Wings Democrats and Free Soers-leaders, too
in their several counties representing the opinions and
feelings of the masses. II emphatcay, strong
vention that will tell the political action of the
State in all its interests.
We draw our estimate of the results to be anticipated
from this Convention from full and free interchange o.
opinion with large number OF the delegates attend
ance. The people thoroughly reused the subject
of Slavery and The agessons of the Slave power There
was extravaganza manested-no fanaticism, bit.
teIness and empty vaporlng; but serious and solemn
approach to the subject with fixed determination of TAX
ing stand upon the Constitution i'll defense of the rights
of the free States and in resistance of the farther
croachmens Of the Slave power There of the Con-
venton old men, who have all their lives done service in
the ranks Of what they believed to be the Democratic
party" They were here for the purpose of laying down
their attachments to party what they believe the
altar of their countrys liberty, and doing battle against
the enemies of Republican institutions. 1t was
visionary idea that moved them; it was no sudden i'm
pulse; but deep conviction forced upon their minds
from calm review Of the events of the last few years,
crowned by the last great outrage the repeal OF the Mis-
souri, Compromise This was the sentiment that moved
the old Wings and mpeled them to approach their Free
Soil brethren with cordialy. There no strife for
party preferences prominence many direction The
object was union on great PRINCIPLE-aRd Effected
The result viii be the second Tuesday of October.
We predct the election of the ticket put in nomination
Yesterday by triumphant majority, which many OF tho
best informed in the Convention estimated as high as
thirty thousand!

MuToy Monday June 70, 1854.
GENTLEMEN: Your letter of the 27th ut with accom-
panync nterrogatores has been received To your first
question reply, that regarding the passage OF the Ne
rasko hin as reckless and advsedas wanton breach
of national honor and plghted fah-and open and
undguised attempt extend the institution OF Slavery to
territories free, am " in favor oi recnactng that
norton of the Missouri Compromise which prohibits
" slavery in the territories of Kansas and Nebraska
To your second qseson say that the reenactmen OF
the provision referred to, would necessarily exclude
Slavery from these Territories; and the unconditional
mapamisson of all slaves then there could not be re-
garded as a moral legal wrong TO any party For
Slavery have no legal existence IN those Ierri-
tories either bv act of Congress- under the false pre-
tense of popular sovereignty The power 10 establsh
Slavery can only exist in cypress grant or as an incident
of absolute sovereignty and the Government OF the
limited States is not absolute but limited constitutional
sovereignty and the Constitution contains no grant ol
tbis power expressed implied it follows that Congress
has no power establish directly or indirectly posi-
five act OF by permission under the plea of nonnter-
"yention Slavery i'll any free Territories OF the United
States IT, therefore, Slavery enters those Territories
will bo there not only without authority of constitutional
law hut in rotation Of all law. Under these clrcum
Stances the restoration and preservation TO freedom
those Territories would be sustained by every princpie
of law and justified by every consideration OF national
