The CALL FOR THE STATE CONVENTION, which
we last week copied from the Free Press as it
first appeared, is we perceive, inserted by sew
eral of our contemporaries with the name of L.
Brainerd, Chairman of the Republican State
Committee, placed first, and that of the Chair
man of the old Wing State Committee, placed
second. This is not as we found it, but as it
should be, if any other name than that of the
Chairman of the Republican State Committee
was signed at all, and we ore to call it, as we
suppose it was intended. a Republican Conven-
ton. We had supposed it was understood that
both the Wing and Free Democratic parties were
last year merged in the Republican party. And
if SO, why mot let the Republican Committee
alone call the Convention ! Or if the old Com
mittce Of the Wing party were to unite in the
the call, why not the old Committee of the Free
Democrats, which is still as much in existence
as the old Committee of the Wings!
We trust this was unintentional; but we
think call for % Republican, or anti-slayery
Convention, as we suggested, by the Republican
Committee, would have been more satisfactory,
and ensure greater attendance from the Free
Democrats, some of whom may doubt whether
they have been represented as party in call
SO signed. If we are to unite in the coming
campaign, the less the preliminaries are coupled
with old party names the greater will be likely
to be the harmony of action.

UNDERGROUND RAILRoED. Cincinnati
Columbian, of late date, gives tho following
intelligence of the business operations of this
road:
"The case Of slave who came through from
Mississippi by land, and here was aided by
merchant, who once took an active part in favor
Of suppressing abolition agitation, and who is
now largely interested in Southern trade. is the
fourth slave item that has been reported to
us very recently. In this latter case the mer-
chant received letter from one of his cores
pondents in the South, stating the escape of the
slave and his probable course northward, and also
describing him very infinitely, SO that he might
be caught. On the very next day the negro.
who, from long travel, was half furnished, an
piled at the merchants house for something to
eat, and was at once recognized as the runaway.
He was fed and charged with being fugi.
tive. He acknowledged it, but pleaded III
usage, and begged 80 hard not to be sent back,
that the merchant put him away for safe keep
ing while he went to his counting room to think
about the matter. His previous convictions
his opinions Of his constitutional obligations
and interests, oil led him to send the negro back,
but his feelings finally overcame him, and re-
yealing the case to some of the conductors on
the underground railroad, he.handed the negro
over to them, at ahe same time presenting him
ten dollars TO- help him along"

For the Green Mountain Freeman
TO THE COUNCIL OF CENsORs,

GENTLEMEN In my communication of the
4th instant, suggested that in future num-
Der might address you on other topics But
in that art Gle, | had neither time nor room for
an extended analysis Of our judicial system All
properly trained and educated minds will read
lily think they understand the meaning of the
term Judicial legislation" But it requires
intensity as well as expansion of thought, to
trace causes to their effect, and to see whether
our courts err from weakness, or from choice, in
assuming the perogative that belongs only to the
law-making power. If from weakness, we may
blame them when they are not blaue-worthy.
No man is to be blamed for, his Judgment how
ever weak, fallacious Or unsatisfactory it may
'be, if he honestly gives us the best he has
Hence stability in Judicial decisions, for the Sc
curity of tho rights of the citizen, is of almost
as much Importance as wisdom, not to say that
stare dessis is the essence of true wisdom, in our
courts of justice. 1t is, perhaps, of far less
consequence what the law u.s. than that it shouN
be enduring and well known. In the infancy of
our Commonwealth, ." when all the broad and
-boundless niain land lay surrounded by the in
terminable woods" our wants as people, judi
cially as well as physically, were few and sim
pie. Whine the hardy pioneer had cleared his
little iset in the vast forest, and had taught the
smiling green of timothy ana clover to expand
itself thereon, and had reared up his first hefer
to the rendition of the DEMONSTRATING milk for
his children, it required little judicial reading
or research to decide that, without law or right
his all.grasping and dis onest neighbor should
not wrest that heifer from him by the more SUI
perior power of his own arm. The umpire con-
science, 50 wisely implanted by bencfccnt Gre.
ator in every human breast, would be jury, adj
vocate and court sufficient for such cause. But
have said that humanity is progressive, the
dictum of the President of Dartmouth Colleoe
TO the contrary notwithstanding. The fact is
.demonstrable. and no where is it more visible
than in our courts of justice. Agriculture.
commerce and manufactures IRE the three great
divisions of human labor in civilized life. and
whoever can trace the laws of meun and fuu,,
through the almost infinite relations which
trade, wealth and progress bring into juxtaposi-
ton, AMI the wonderfully close variety in the
catenation OF facts, is alone capable of grasping
the difficulties which surround the enlightened
and impartial jurist. If there is g nothing now
under the sun " in the laws of physical nature,
every day brings something new in the judicial
forum and if the Romish priest could not pray

things, or Anti-Slavery breach of the Ameri-
can party met in convention here to-day.
Every Free State is fully represented, also

chusctts. Chas. w. Slack was chosen tempo
rary chairman. The Convention permanently
organized by stccting Hon. Mr.. Stebbins, Of
Rochester, as President, With three Vice Pres
idents and three Secretaries. A committee

of the General Government 4th, protection
to American industry The question Of Tenn
perance will be left to the action of the indi-
vidual States.
Senator Wilson and large number of the
Philadelphia delegates are hourly expected.
CLEVELAND, june 1.-THE Committee on
Resolutions of the Know Something Conyen-
ton, consisting of one from each State, have
made the following report. They were revised,
slightly modified, and passed to-day. The
preamble asserts that the serviity of the slave
power, characteristic Of existing political par
ties, is injurious to manhood, to the best inter-
ests Of the North, and to the liberties of the
Republic
The LIST resolution declares that the true
issue before the American Republic, is whether
freedom is to be limited to free States, or
slavery to slave States.
The I'd, that the issue has been forced upon
the country by slave power aggression.
Sd. That these aggressions, especially the
Nebraska outrages, and the assaults upon the
elective franchise Of Kansas, have aroused
the freemen of the Republic, and that they
will maintain their rights aud resist the addi-
tions of slave territory.
4th. That they will maintain the NATIONAL
ity of freedom.
9th. That the friends OF freedom should
make "principle, not birthplace" the test Of
admission to citizenship.
9th. That VIC will repe every ecclesiastical
interference in political affairs by Foreign
Potentate, Pontiff, or Priest, as destructive
of the right to worship God, according to the
dictates Of conscience and liberty.
7th. Recommends action in the several
States for the promotion of temperance.
9Th. Agreeing to support free schools, free
labor, and harbor improvements.
9th. To strive tor the election of men of
integrity and with nerve to resist aggression
of any kind. .... .-.
10th. For these objects. I'VE are ready to
unite with all men, under any name or organ
ization, to aid in carrying into operation these
principles.
The Convention is in session this evening,
and will probably finish and adjourn to-
morrow.
