UNION FOR LIBERTY.

Union for Liberty il the great duty of the
crisis, and one Party at least, has demonstra-
ted its Willingness to meet this responsibility.
The Convention Of the Independent Democ-
racy in Massachusetts at its late meeting
aResolved, That in this crisis, when Liberty
seems doomed to utter destruction, unless the
whole North is rallied to her defence. the Free
Democracy are willing TO ,elingush all party
considerations, to forget all past Possibilities, TO
disregard all minor differences 10 sacrifice epery-
thing but their principles, IN order 10 secure an
efectuai union Of true men against The mighiy
conspiracy of Shareholders and DoUGHFAcEs
that nOio threatens 10 operihr0io the peace the
honor, and the free institutions Of The country
The spirit Of this resolution glowcd in all
tho speeches that were made
At meeting Of the State FREQ Democratic
Association, held at Indianapolis Indiana on
the 25th, being attended by the leading men
of the party, after re-aifrmation Of its prin-
ciples and denunciation of the bill to repeal
the Missouri Compromise, the following reso-
buttons were adopted unanimously:
aResolped That we have no idolatrous at
tachment for mere party names, but seek the
triumph of principles, and that VIC recommend
in the present crisis cooperation OF oil per-
SONS who are opposed to said measures, with q
view to it's repeal
Resolped, Therefore, that we recommend
the calling Of State Convention, to be held
at such time and place hereafter rs may DO
deemed expedient for the purpose of combining
all the elements Of opposition to said measure
and we also respectfully recommend the call
/ nf Ill a.. -
said measure in the whole Union, in order to
demonstrate to the Slave Power our dctermi-
nation no longer To be it's white slaves.
Resolved, That we do not think it expedi-
emit Mt this time to nominate FREQ Democratic
ticket for State officers.
The policy thus indicated is wiso and liberal.
An able editorial in tho Free Democrat, the
organ Of the Association, strongly urges the
duty Of union. 1t Gays
eve think the Convention acted wisely in
holding on to their organization, but at the
same time inviting the active cooperation Of
the independent men of all parties, in seeking
| tho repeal Of the Infamous conspiracy to de-
fraud the people Of the FREQ States of their po-
litical birthright"
II says it Is willing to give up its organiza-
ton, and unite with all when they adopt sound
principles on the subject Of Slavery, but not be-
fore.
aThee principles do NOT stop ,oith The oper-
hro,p of me Nebraska piiiang }. they contemplate
The complete sepering If The Federal Goyernmeat
from all responsibility for TIE institution of Sia-
yery by ats prohibition and abolition wherever
The Federal Gopernu,ent has jurisdietion, and b,
fke repeal of all national laos recognising o.
sustaining it."
But If the old parties reject the policy Of
Union for Liberty, the Free Democrat is still
willing to adopt the policy of cooperation.
0Whiie them zoe should adhere tenaeiousiy 10
our own organisation, zoe think ii cur duty also
10 cooperate pith other parties ,ohen, By doing
so, zoe can secure triumph tcifhoh a sacrifice Of
principle We think The present crisis peculiar
ly appropriate for such a movement"
We now learn from photographic despatch
published in the Now York Tribune, that a
State Convention, composed Of representatives
Of all parties in the State, will be held in July,
to take proper steps for the restoration Of tho
Anti Slavery restriction repealed by the Me-
braska Bill, and, we presume, other measures
against the Slave Power. We hope the move
ment may be wisely planned and executed
Preparations are everywhere on foot in Ohio
for the great State Convention, proposed BY
Wing, Democratic, and Independent Demo
cratic papers. The Ohio Colombian says:
eve learn that Our Representatives in Con-
gress, who have taken an active part against
the Nebraska swindIc will issue an address
recommending a State Convention Of men Of
all parties, who will contiuno 10 oppose the o.
tabishment &c slavery in Kansas and Nebras-
! Ia, to be held on the 18th Of July, tho anniver-
