DAILY NATIONAL ERA.

Abolition Independents 5-ss
In INDIANA, the State Journal of the 10th
contains the following call
A majority of the recent Democratic Con-
vention having adopted resolutions setting forth
q platform Of principles to which we believe q
majority Of the people Of this State are opposed,
we therefore call upon all such opponents, OF
whatever party, to meet at Indianapolis on the
18th day Of July next ut 10 o'clock A. NJ, to
adopt such measures in relation thereto as they
may deem proper"
This notice is subscribed by the names Of
some sixty or seventy citizens including large
number OF Democratic Of the counties of Floyd,
Parke, Ripley, and Dearborn, The Journal
says that letters from both Democrats and
Wings have been received from every part Of
the State, urging the call Of this Convention,
and that there il determination on the part
Of the people to forget all former party dis
tinctons in their effort to put the seal Of their
disapprobation on the principles promulgated
by the Pierce State Convention.
The People seem to think it. of more impor-
tance to sustain the great Principle Of Civil
and Religious Liberty, than Franklin Pierce
and Jesse D. Bright
The call for State Mass Convention in
Wisconsin has been issued but short time,
but the quick response indicates the temper Of
the People. The Free Democrat Of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, says:
"All the Free Democratic presses-three
dailies and seven weeklies; all the Wing pa
pers but two-two dailies and eight weeklies !;
and two Democratic papers-the Watert0wn
Register and Monroe Sentinel-have responded
to the call for Mass State Convention of the
People, of Madison, on the 18th of July. The
remaining two Wing papers-the Lancaster
Herald and the Kenosha I,ibune--we doubt
not will do 60 but we have not received their
issues since the call was published. We think
We may say that the desire for such C0nven-
tion and union Of the people in a great Free
dom Party, is cordial and earnest among the
Wings and Free Democrats, and large por-
ton Of those who have formerly acted with the
old Democratic party"
We are not aware that the arrangements in
ILLINOIS for such Convention have yet been
perfected. No time should be lost. From the
State Of Douglas especially let voice 60 forth
in stern reprobation of his apostacy from the
original policy Of the Government.
The Mass Convention, called to meet at Kala-
mazoo, Mich, on the 2lst inst, by the Independ-
emit Democratic Central Committee has been
held, and its proceedings are before us. The
most earnest and liberal spirit pervaded at it's
counsels. While asserting the true principles
Of Anti-Slavery action, it generously pledged
the Party to surrender its name, and its candi-
dates, provided the People, without distinction
Of Party would take the right ground, and or
ganize for efficient operations The liberal
press Of the State, not connected with the In
dependent Democratic organizations speaks in
praise Of it's wise and conciliating policy.
We copy the following from the series of reso-
lutions adopted:
Resolved, That in the recent passage Of the
bill for the organization of the Territories Of
Nebraska and Kansas, we see the browning
act Of series Of aggressions, by which the Sec
tionsl and exceptional character of Slavery
he's been gradually changed, until it has be-
come the great national interest of the coun.
try for the protection of which every other in
terest must be sacrificed and its power has
become 80 potent, that from the President to
the Postmaster, all the functionaries of the Ex-
ecutive Government and majority in Con-
gress, are twisted and corrupted by it into alb
soIute subsection to its insulting demands.
Resolved, That evils 30 great as these de-
mand remedy; and that if that remedy can
not be found in the virtue of the people, peo-
pie who are yet true to the instincts of liberty,
to the immortal principles promulgated by the
fathers of the Constitution-a people who en-
Joy the blessings of Government they estab-
lished, and people who are yet willing to
display something Of the energy and persever-
ance, and if need be sacrifice, which moved
the patriots Of '76 to the accomplishment Of
their great work, then the days Of the Repub-
lie are numbered, and il must soon become
what its laws will make il, nation Of slaves.
/" Resolved, That we do not and will not de-
SPAR; that we believe the people of this State
are ready to respond to the call Of their country
in this emergency; that they are ready ire
spectiye of ell past political preferences, to de-
clare in an unmstakable tone their will and
that will is, that Slavery aggression upon their
rights shall 20 no further-that there shall be no
compromise with Slayery-that there shall DO
no more slave States-that there shall be no
slave Territory-that the Fugitive Slave Law
shall DO repealed-that the abominations of Sla-
very shall no further be perpetrated under the
sanctions Of the Federal Constitution-and that
they will make their will effective by driving
from every place Of official power the public
servants who have so shamelcssly betrayed
their trust and by putting in their places men
who are honest and capable men who will be
faithful to tho Constitution and the great
claims of humanity.
Resolved, That the Free Democracy Of Mich
igan rejoice to behold tho indications Of popu-
lar sentiments furnished by this Convention
they are confident that the deeply aroused
feeling Of the masses of this State will seek q
suitable expression in Convention springing
from themselves, irrespective Of every existing
political organization and that If such move
ment shall be animated and guided by the
principles expressed in the resolutions Of this
Convention, and shall contemplate an efficient
organisation TO give effect to our own principles
in this State, we shall willingly surrender our
distinctive organisation and with il thStickct
for State officers nominated at Jackson, on the
cad Of February last, and that we commit the
