Philadelphia, June IA. Is.

In view Of the action Of the national
Council Of the Know-Nothing organization,
last night, In repudiatiug the proposed
platform Of the Free States for The restora-
sion Of the Missouri Compromise, and
adopting an ultra Pro-Slavery platform, a
meeting Of Northern Delegates was held
this forenoon.
HENRY WILSON Of Massachusetts,
was appointed Chirman, and H. NJ Nc
AsEx Of Ohio chosen Secretary.
Great unanimity of feeling was express
pressed and determination manifested to
appeal from the Council to the people in
behalf Of right principles.
The following Address was submitted,
signed By the delegates present and order
published to the nation:
APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
To tke People of the Uliited States:
The undersigned. citizens of various
States. assembled at Philadelphia on the
l4th day Of June, 1855, feel constrained
under the existing state of affairs to affirm
the following principles:
First-The unconditional restoration OF
that time honored compromise, known as
the Missouri Prohibition, which was de-
stroyed IN utter disregard of the popular
villa wrong which no lapse of time can
palliate, and no plea for its continuance can
Justify. And that we will use all consiitu-
tional means to maintain the positive guar
antee Of that compact, until the object for
which Il was enacted, has been consumma-
ted BY the admission Of Kansas and Ne
bFaska as Free States.
Seeond-That the rights of the settlers
in territories 10 the free and undisturbed
exercise of the elective franchise guaranteed
to them by the laws under which they are
organized. should be promptly protected by
the National Executive whenever violated
or threatened. And that we cannot con-
scienciously act with those who will not aid
as IN the correction ofthese National wrongs
and who will not even permit their fair con-
sideration and their full discussion.
Third-We further declare our contin-
ued and unalterable determination to use
all honorable efforts TO secure such a modi-
6cation Of the Naturalization laws aided BY
such su elevation of public sentimen as will
preserve the true interests Of the Nation,
and will guarantee the three vital principles
Of Republican government: SPIRITUAL
FREEDOM, FREE BIBLE and FREE
SCH00LS-thereby promoting the great
work Of Americanizing America.
FoWrtk-That we invoke the arm Of leg
islation TO arrest that growing evil. the de-
portstion by foreign authorities Of paupers
and convicts to our shores; and that as our
National Constitution requires the Chief Ex-
ecuiive Of our country 10 be Of native birth.
we deem it equally necessary and impor-
tsnt that our Diplomatic Representatives
abroad should also possess no foreign pref
udices to bias their judgment or to influence
their official action.
