The Northern Know Nothing Manifesto

We publish the following, from the
seeding members ofthe National Council
of Know Nothings which recently termi-

phia.
This we may assume to be the position
of the entire American organization of the
North; and it is manly, dignifed and lib

freedom not to be trodden under foot, nor
to be scoffed at by the snecring Oligarchs

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES.
The undersigned, citizens of various
States, assembled at Philadelphia on the
18th day of June, 1855, feel constained
under the existing state Of affairs, to affirm
the following principles.
lst.. The unconditional restoration of
that time koaered Compromise, known as
the Missouri Prohibition, which was des-
troyed in utter disregard Of the popular
villa wrong which no lapse Of time can
palliate, and no plea for its continuance
can justify. And thatwe will use all con-
stitutional means to maintain the positive
guarantee of that compact, until the OBJ
ject for which it was enacted has been con-
summated by the admission Of Kansas and
Nebraska as Free States. .sar
End. That the rights Of the settlers in
Territories to the free and undisturbed ex-
ercise 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-
