PLATFORM OF TIE MASSACHUSETTS, REPUBLIcAx
PARrY.-The following the resolutions adopt
cd by the Massachusetts Fusion Convention which
met at Worcester on the 2O,h inst, and nominated
JULIUS Rockwell, of PittsGeld, as candidate for
Governor:
Resolved, That the increase and advance of
slavery, the addition to the number of Slave
States, the successive triumph- of slavery in the
political contests of the last half century, the
troll of slavery over all departments of the Gov
ernmcnt, the experience of the last few years in
the Legislative, executive, and judicial depart
mcnts, and more especially the repeal of the Mis-
souri, Compromise, have made slavery in its ma
tional relations and in its relations to the free
States, the paramount practical question in the
politics of the country.
Resolved, That Slavery, as a State institution,
is rot within our power or responsibility but
slavery in it's relations to the nation, is the con-
cern of every man in the nation; in its relations
to the free Staes, is the concern of every man in
the free States.
Resolved, That Massa chu>ctts the earliest bat
tie ground Uf freedom, gives her heart and hanJ
to Kansas, the latest battle ground Of freedom.
Resolved, That the repeal of the Missouri Com
;,romisc makes every inch of the national domain
!, battle. ground between Freedom and Slavery
iict between Freedom and Slavery. The issue
th:.s forced upon Us, we accept. 1t shall be 10y
no fault of ours If another Slave State is added
the Union, any Of its territories left open to
the possibility of slavery.
Resolved, That we tender no geographical or
sectional issue; nor will we be deferred from our
duty by fear of one. The repeal of the Missouri
Compromise has erased the geographical line.-
Our principles are nati"nal and general. Our
spirit is national and liberal. We seek sympa-
thy and cooperation from all parts Of tho land !;
VIC look for members and candidates from South
and North, East and West. Our principles do not
Justly lead to II sectional issue. If the slave pow
raises one, the iault is til. rs, let the victory
he ours.
Resolved, That We require no conformity of
opinion other subjects "f national or State pol
icy. No man surrenderins or qualifying his opin-
ions on those subjects, We all recOgm the duty
of making the question Of Freedom paramount.-
To secure union Of action here, attempt no
unity of opinion elscwh re.
Resolved. That accept the name of the RE-
PUBLICAN PARTY, which has been adopted by
our friends and fellow -aborers in other States.
We unite in that party to assert the great primo.
pes for which We contend, AMI to Garry them to
Il triumphant issue.

Of the Republican candidates for the LegisIa.
ture from the Lower St. Paul District, please

country, as an alder and abettor of the repeal

throwing open our beautiful North West to
Slavery.

THE GAG LAw.-Whic on recent tour up
the Mississippi river, we proposed to speak at
Rice Greek, where resides one Mr.. Banfll. A
room in the large tavern was engaged, when the
landlord was induced to refuse Us to use this
room because Mr.. Bsn6ll objected, alleging that
it was useless to speak on political topics there
as the citizens were all on ons side. We did
speak, however, in another room-had large
and attentive audience, ana told some wholesome
truths, which will have their effect upon the pub
lie misd. The cii<ens Of Rice Creek treated Us
with the utmost respect, and the gentleman who
gave US the use of the room, informed Us that We
could have the room again whenever pleased
and this gentleman, i should be remembered, is
a Rice man. So much for the gag law snd the
one man power in the free Territory Of Mime
seta. No Kansas mob or gag law exists here
God forbid it ever should, and We believe tho
people are determinsd it never shall.

THE GOOD WORK coE. suAvE.v on.

Our friends in various parts of the Territory
are at work, anil they are working with good re-
suits. 1t is the hope on tn: part of the Rice men,
that they can keep the people in ignorance, and if
they can, they will thus secure their votes, but
wherever information is disseminated, there they
lose. Friends! spread the !ight-our opponents
''lovc darkness rather than light. because their
deeds are evil" Tnre off the mask TINT hides the
hidcous form Of corruption, aud let the pco-
pie see it. Circulate the papcrs-talk with your
ncighbors who differ with you-not harshly but
kindly show ,hrm wherein they are wrong, and
when you do this you do good work for Free
dom. Wherever We have addicss the people,
they have been willing to hear, and willing to
learn the relative merits of the two men now be.
fore them for their suffrases. The m,jority Of the
people are disposed to vote right and all that is
necessary to induce them to DO so, is for public
speakers to lay the facts before them.

CO The following extract of letter should
have been published somo time since, but tho
manuscript was mislaid. It shows what our
friends are doing down in Fillmore County, who
are determined not to he bamboozled BY tricksries
and falsehoods. In all parts of the Territory We
advise our friends to he on their guard, for eve
~ appliance which can be brought into requisi-
ton will be, to defeat our candidate and the tri-
umph Of our principles. Republicans do not
stand idle, but keep sharp lookout for our op-
ponents, who skulk behind every bush and riot in
the corruption Of their own making.
CnAIrIELD, Fillmore Co., Sept. ., 1855.
Dr.. Sn.-we are having quite exciting times
in the political world just now. The Democrats
getting up all the false issues that their uni
ted minds can raise. Even the cry of Know Moth
ingism, 10 raised by the Democrats as a means
to elevate them to places of distinction and pow
er. The candidate of their party has been here
and is seeking through misrepresentation and his
smooth, oilytongue, to get the votes of the hardy
pioneers, but We hope to meet them on the 9th of
October, and show them might with right will tri-
umph. We are bound to give Mr.. Marshall
handsome majority in this County.
