ultra abolition, which insisted that slavery
should be excluded from all national territory and assert
ing the notorious fasehood that "proscpon account

ing principles The convention had the honesty to vote
down this latter proposition thus acknowledging the fact
that such prescription of birth creed is all
right according to the know-nohing standard OF excel
lence Tie minority report Of Spooner CO. in favor
of dispensing with Secrecy but the majority knowing
that without that feature the organization would go
pieces would consent to it. 1t could not exist with
out the aoaths' and the secrecy Several leading Trim
BILE men, such Mr.. Ware OF this city, and Judge Fish
back, of Clermont participated in the convention which
adopted the above platform Their south
