tension Of Human Slavery. are set forth with
distinctness that leaves no possibility of
misconstruction. For the position thus taken
an opponent may be allowed to speak The
n, Y. Eren'ng Post says:
"The contrast which it forms TO the pusillani-
nous mention of the Nebraska bill in the res.
olutions adopted at the late democratic conven-
ton in this state is sad one for the dcmocra
lc party, and We allude to it with shame.
Had the resentment felt by the people at the
great wrong done to the North been expressed
with half the completeness, half the manly
energy which we find in the wing resolutions.
the triumph of the democratic candidates n,
the approaching election would, in the opinion
of many, have been scarcely doubtful"
Resolutions,
LIST. ReSolred, That the Wings Of New
York cherish now, as they ever have done, a
cordial and immOyeablc attachment to the
Federal Union and to the Constitution ms
having been framed and ordained to establish
justice, ensure domestic tranquility. rromotc
the general welarcand secure the blessings of
liberty to ourselves and posterity, and that
they will resist any attempt from any quarter
to divide the one or to violate the other, or
to divert either from the bcnrfccnt purposes
Tor which they were established
ResoIr'd, That the passage by the trainers
OF the Constitution and the fathers Of the re-
public OF the ordinance OF l7o7 clearly stab
lished as cardinal principle with them that
Slavery should be forever prohibited in the
territories of the United States.
ReSoHcd, That We cordially approve Of the
firm and manly stand Of the " ig Senators of
the State OF New York in the defence of the
rights of the Free States, and maintenance of
the principles and policy Of the Wing party.
and that we tender our grateful thanks to
those members of Congress who resisted with
fixed fidelity the breach Of public saith in
VOWED in the repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
promise.
Resoired, That by the act procuring the
repeal OF the Missouri Compromise we hold
that we are forever discharged from al obi
cations to support any compromises with
slavery, except such ara contained in the
Constitution of the United States and most
especially that we are forever released from
All Obligations to admit into our Union any
STATE which sanctions or permits Slavery.
HfsoWfd, That the recent action of Con-
gress, stimulated and approved by the presi
dent, Whereby the compact commonly known
us the Missouri Compromise is reIudiated.
and the vast Territory known ~, Nebraska
and Kansas opened to Slavery. has already
received the unqualified condemnation of the
W Ilgs oi New York, and we point with Sit
tlsiac;ion and pride TO the fact that not
single W hig member of either House of Con-
Srcss IRON this or any other free State Welded
any sort OF support, countcnance, or favor to
that most UNJUST and unrightoous proceeding.
