MAJORITY REPoRT.-The 81 Committee, by vote
of II to IA, have reported as follows:
Res0lpe0, That the American party, having arisen
upon the ruins and in spite of opposition of the
Wing and Democratic parties, cannot be held in any
manner responsible for the obnoxious acts OF viola
ted pledges of either that the systematic agitation
of the slavery question by those parties has elevated
sectional hostility into positive clement OF political
power, and brought our institutions into peril. 1t
has therefore become the imperative duty OF the
American party to nerp Sc, for the purpose OF CIV
ing peace to the country and perpetulty to the
Union. That experience has shown it is mpos-
sble 10 reconcile opinions so extreme as those which
separate the dsputants, and as their can be no dis
honor in submitting to the laws, the National Coun-
Gil has deemed it the best guarantee of common JUS
ticc and of future peace to abide by and MAINTAIN
the existing laws upon the subject of slavery, as
final and conclusive settlement of that subject in
spirit and in substance.
Hes0lred That regarding it the highest duty to
avow these opinions upon subject important, in
distinct and unequivocal TERMS it hereby declared
that as the of This National Council that Con-
egsiate upon the sub OF slavery in the States,
to exclude any State from admission into the Union
because her Constitution does does not recognize
the institution of slavery part Of her social syS
TEN and expressly pretermtting any expressions of
opinion upon the power of Congress to establish or
prohibit Slavery in any Territory. 1t is the sense
of this National Council that Congress ought not to
egslate upon the subject of Slavery within the Ter
rtories of the United States and that any Interior
ence Of Congress with Slavery as it exists in the
District of Columbia would be a violation of the
spirit and intention of the compact by which the
State of Maryland coded the District to the United
States, and branch ofthe National Faith.
The following gentlemen voted for this Report:

went with New York, also the District of Column
bia and these with the united South carried the
majority report in Committee.
ALNoRITY REPoRT.-The minority resolution
as follows:
hesolred, That the repeal of the Missouri Com
promise was infraction Of the plighted faith of
the Nation, and that it should be restored, and if
efforts to that effect shall fail, Congress should
fuse to admit any State toerating Slavery which
shall be formed out Of any portion OF the territory
from which that institution excluded by that
Compromise.
their ultraisms thus kill poor "Sam," who appears
to have little or nothing to do in the Convention.
The minority report was signed by
Ex-Gov. Johnston, Pa. N. ID. Spe,ry, Conn.,
Thos. A. Ford Ohio Ex-Gov. A. Colby, N. H.,
A. Green, T. l., Joseph Ii. Barrett, VT,

Twelve in ALL Richard B. Clement of Del, and
c. D. Deshler, of N j., went for the first clause OF
the Minority Report, disappearing of the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise.
Congress elect, and tile aid Webster and clay Wigs
IN tie North, aOent against the majority platform.
There has been no souuder man In the Northern
States than Mr.. Foster, of Mass.
ID the General Council, when the Resolutions
were reported Gov Gardner, OF Mass, took up the
gauntlet, and declared that neither he nor his State,
nor majority of the Free States would abide by the
Resolutions first reported The party could not
carry village in Massachusetts, upon them.
The union of the North has little alarmed peo-
ple-and hence it is now proposed to dilute the
majority resolutions little, and then put them
through.
The Council will thus be broken in two pieces
North and South The two 'Sambos'-Southern
and Northern-will have ousted "Sam," who will
have to muster his clans again. exclusive of Sambo
The spectacle here is curious The Sewardtes of
the North have got into the Council three OF four
ultra Abolition men, on purpose to make mischief
and as outsiders of the Council, they have in pay
two three from New York-but especially one
(not Mr.. Lyons so proslavery, that he is repuda-
ted everywhere South out of South Carolina and
Alabama, for earning his pay.
Thus Sam is assaulted by double Seward tactics
the ultra Southern "Sambo' South and New York
and the ultra ''Sambo" of Massachusetts, in part,
Maine, and the Lake shore of Ohio and Indiana.
Poor Sam! The Democracy will now cut him
all up, as .'the Sambos' North and South have cut
him to pieces, and lay him out in Northern and
Southern slices. The "negro is the death of every
party that touches him.
