follows, viz:
Resolued That the repeated ard long continued
en- croachments of the SiaUe Potcer, eliminating
at last in the repeal of the law of freedom in all
hitherto unorganized territory of the Union, forces
upon the conviction that there is no escape
from the alternative of Freedom, Siauery, as a
political issue which is to determine whether
the future administration of the government shall
be devoted to the one or the other
ResolUed, That accept this issue, forced upon
Us by the slave power and in the defense of free
dom will cooperate and be known Republicans

purposes:
To bring the administration of the government
back to the control of first principles
Torestore Nebraska and Kansas to the position

solutions, 10 unite with in carrying them into

Resolved That the present State Administration
for reckless DISCARD OF the Constitution, for
wasteiul extravaganza, and utter CONTEMPT of the

States, and the tax payers of Wisconsin, without
distinction OF party owe it to themselves to place
the destinIes OF our young and growing State in
different and more trustworthy hands.
