Printup The following excellent resolutions
were adopted:
RcsolUcd, That the aggresSions Of slavery
in our government, and the powerful eilort
now being made by the south, sustained by
the entire power and patronage OF the ma
tonal administration, to extend slavery in
to the territories of the United States, and
thus secure forever the preponderance OF the
slave power in our national government, are
matters of such vital Importance to our
country as to over5hadow all other political
questions now before the American people,
and imperatively demand the union of the
entire people of the free states, on the prin
ciple of uncOmpromiSing hostility to the &c
tension Of SlaUery, and domination Of the
SLdUG poUGr.
Resol0ed, That the south, by the violation
of a compromise of thirty years standing, by
which the question of slavery extension had
once been amicably settled, have shown con-
clusiYely their utter want of good faith and
having again forced the question upon us,
against our urgent remOnstrances, they alone
are responsible for the consequences of our
position, when we proclaim our calm deter
mlnation TO have no more compromises with
slavery, and no more slave states.
RGS0lued, That. inasmuch as the entire Of
fetal patronage of the general administration
at the north is devoted to subSidizing the
public press, and rewarding traitors for be-
traying the interests of their constituents;
and as the reproach is Justly cast upon us by
the south, that northern men originated and
assisted in enacting the Kansas Nebraska act
and the repeal of the Missouri compromise,
it becomes us to secure first the integrity OF
our own organization on this subject-there-
fore, we will support no man for any office,
either state or county, who is not perfectly
reliable on this question
ResoIucd, That the present naturalization
laws, if honestly administered, are all that
we require. We are opposed to the proscrip-
tion of any man on account of his birth
place or religious belief; and the only tests
OF fitness for office that we recognize, are
honesty, capacity, and uncompromising hos
tility to the extension of slavery.
Re8olued, That the enormous increase in
our state and county expenses, and conse-
quent oppressive taxation, demand thor
ough reform in the state and county admin
istrations.
RESOLVED, That we approve Of and endorse
the course of Hon. Salmon p. Chase and B.
F. Wade in congress- in resisting the Kansas
Nebraska outrage; and that we will use ev-
cry honorable means in our power to show
our gratitude for their acts, by placing one
in the gubematorial chair, and re-electing
the other to the senate of the United States.
Coal IN UTAH-Brigham Young, during
his tour among the Southern settlements, dis
covered bed of coal in the mountain range
between Sanpete and Juab counties. 1t is,
he says, of excellent quality, and inexhaust-
ible in quantity. The bed is about five miles
distant from Fort Ephraim, and he designs,
if possible. to have mining operations com.
Great Salt Lake City may be supplied with
coal before the coming winter.
