Richmond enquirer. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1815-1867, 1855-10-05

bn oi the whole tnOn. t0 the solemn truths which il
cnuncihrs, and which mas: receive the endorsement;
"f tho people o the United States this Union will
be Ut an end.
The New York NrwS, n "liari" Democratic organ,
says ;hnt the Wilmington Journal and the Richmond
Enquirer are mistaken in giving the Soit" Convcl-
tirn "i New ork credit for passing resolution in
winch, although the repeal Of the Missouri Compro-
mise is characterized us unwse and ural,d for MI
open and distinct declaration is male IN invcr of not
disturbing the Nebraska bill. While complaining Of
other irccsol clauses Of TINT platform, We expressed
satisfaction that this specific resolution can iha,
tho "Sutis were determined Ia stand by the Ncbras-
ka bill and to stay The agitation which IS row dis
turbng the counlIy. The following is the resolution
TO which we refer and which We found published in
the official proceedings:
Resolved. That We consider the clause in the Kan
SIS NchrnsEa BILL rci'ca.n. the Missouri Compromise
(which would have expired by lis own Limitation nu
the orSni@htion oi Territories into Statr>) as umwsc
nai umcailcd for, but kh; rt are oyins,i O aMy uyi

iGrc 10 organize their owu Government, under the
laws o congress, according Ia their own Interests
aiI well being VII. dispose OF iEni trust Ia bcs'
secure t!ic:h Ev"! Govern lIc and IL maintain the
pracc oi the Union.
lh" News says that the above resolution was Offer
ct, by Nlr. Cassidy in tae Committee Of Resolutions
aid there rcccol!iiut he Ih,n offered il in CniIvcn
ton, minus the words in Italics which ne iiai srick
cn ont, and thai it again virtually rejected hy be-
ing iai "n the table Ii the News bu ri,,h: in hus
correcting ;he records Of tlc "S"it' Conventions, *
leaves the nclicn of tim; body in worse condition
:Eanwc hsl been il, 10 believe. We did r"prchcmJ
;kcn I'r deliberately resolving in vie" NJ ;irc 'ntrG
s"n OF armed bori-rcr- into Kansas
THAT ail the power of the Federal auI Territorial
Governments should be cX"r;eh r redress these ou:-
rHgcs and 10 yidiru.r ,hc rights of the people there
oi.''
This language, unex xplainei by the resolution quo
Ted above = strongly to be rctrohard. In the words
of tho News, "it invites the marching Of tnitc|
States troop. no tic halls Of the kana"s Legislature
IL calls for tho nterpositl0n d" all tho power ot The
Federal Government. Shorn of nil flourish Of words,
il means intervention and civil war And incfven-
ton in Kansas i. stepping stone TO Intervention i'll
Virginia."
The sluIc paper continues in the following strain:
