THE AMERICAN PARTY in NEW
HAMPSHIRE.

The delegates of the American party in New
Hampshire, met in State Council at Nashua,
Nov. 5th, elected ex-G Governor Anthony Colby,
president, and passed the following resolutions,
which we commend 10 the consideration Of all
our readers -
RESOLVED, That we cordially approve the
course Of The delegates from this State, who at
tended the National Council at Philadelphia, in
June last, and most heartily sustain their action
IN severing their connection with the present
national organization.
RESOLVED, That freedom being national and
slavery sectional, while the latter is len in the
exercise Of all its strictly constitutional rights,
in the States where inow exists, It's further ex-
tension and longer connection with the general
government should be uncompromisingly oppos-
ed and resisted, and the laws for the execution
Of its existing privileges, be made 10 conform
TO the dictates Of justice and humanity.
Resolred, That the question of the extension
Of slavery, as now presented 10 the country by
the repeal of the Missouri Prohibition, by the
ou,rages p~ractised in Kansas, under the sane
lion Of the administration, and by the decision
Of an arbitrary and tyrannical Federal Judge,
which. if adopted as The Judicial doctrine Of
the government, will make every Free State in
the Union, slave territory, is the paramount
question now before the nation, and that we be-
lieve the time has arrived when all who oppose
the further encroachments Of slavery, and would
restore The policy Of the Fathers of the Repub-
lie, should unite their efforts and cooperate fr
that purpose.
Resolved, That in the judgement ofthis State
Council, all ceremonies Of initiation into the
American party, and all obligations, except
such regulations as the councils or clubs in
their respective towns shall think proper to
adopt for their own government, be disconiin-
ued and removed.
Resoiped, That this State Council fully and
unequivocally reafirms the sentiments and prin-
ciples Of the American party, and adheres to
the great fundamental doctrine, that American.
should rule America.
Resolued, That these resolutions be published
in the various newspapers of the State.
