Res0tUed, That we pledge ourselves TO use
our utmost exertions to free our National Ter
ritory from the curse of Slavery, and that we
will never consent, under any circumstances,
to the admission of another slave State to
this Union.-ResOlutiOl Of the KilOso Nothing
Council Of Maine.
Resolved, That with the domestic institu-
tons Of the several States of the Union, we
claim to have no right 10 meddle. What
ever is peculiar to the people of each State
now in existence, is of their own creation and
subject to their own immediate control and
while we deprecate the existence Of human
bondage in any portion of this confederacy,
as national party we leave it, as we find it.
under its own local restrictions, to be regu-
lated bv the enactments of those responsible
for its continuance, but while disavowing thus
explicitly any and all intention of interfering
with il as il is, we must IN duty TO our sense
of right; to our consciences and to our coun-
trv, declare and demand that the general gov
eminent has the power and night to act and
exclude slavery outside of the State limits,
the spirit of the Constitution, which is that OF
freedom, shall be regarded, and the influence
thereof shall be so used that there shall
henceforth and forever be no more slave ter
ritory and no more slave States.-Resolution
of the Ohio State Council at Cleveland
"No more slave &ates'' These words in
dictate the great struggle which is bound to
come.
Kansas, we hope, will come intothe Union
a free State. We look with interest and anx-
iety to its condition. Every act which ha:
been done by violence or even threats of vio-
lence, should be set aside. But the voice OF
the people, when fairly expressed, must he
obeyed. Whatever may have been the tempo
rary effectof Missouri Compromise nquiet-
ing dissension, it was great error; it surren-
dered for temporary purposes the principles
of the Constitution. 1t was passed in an
hour of infatuation.
But the Compromise is a thing of the past
and the Freesol party, we apprehend care
nothing about it. Its repeal has been used
as a means ofthrowing odium on the DemOc-
racy; but as it has become fixed fact, they
take bolder grounds and express their poll
cy in the words, Z" No more !Slare Sates."-
Now, unless the African race cease to increase
or the earth to turn on its axis, one of three
things must happen. There will be, in the
Union, or out Of the Union, more slave States;
or the South will relapse into total barbarism;
OF the African, like the Indian race, will be
exterminated in America.
We anticipate state of things like that in

relapse into barbarism. The North may ac-
complish its diabolical purposes, it may girdle
the South with a circle of free States sur
round it by wall of fire, within which all
its fair civilization must perish amid social
commissions; and vet the Union an name may
still exist But it will be Union of force !;
it viii be subjugation.
The phoenix may rise from its ashes, but
the South can never recover from the COM
p,llsory liberation of the African race in its
midst 1t may bid long farewell to all its
greatness. The land which now blooms as
the rose, will be converted into dreary
waste, "where the dead and sickening uni
formity of the scene will be broken at inter-
walls by volcanic irruptions of anarchy and
crime.
The cold-blooded cruelty of Abolition, CRU
city to tie slave as well as the master, is one
of its remarkable features. 1t proposes no
benefcent:: scheme of amelioration no wise
and cautious policy of colonization and grad
nal emancipation combined {; offers no assist
aRce to the South which has the wolf by
the ears; but elcloses the oombaiants within
narrow and yet narrowing limits, ami exults
in the prospect of the bloody fight and mu-
tual destruction of both.
