al and that instead of being discouraged, SO
far as Slavery is concerned, we hail with de-
light every event which occasions thep eople to
examine the nature and consequences of Sla-
very.
Z. Resolced, That in the late riot we see an
other manifestation of the spirit of Slavery,
which is the spirit of force-not of reason or
Justice; and that we give ourselves with re-
doubled zeal to the extirpation from our land OF
that monster sin, Slavery, which has not inapt-
ly been called, "the sum of all villanies."
8. ResoIred, That our appeal shall be to the
civil law of the land for redress Of grievan-
ces and that we call upon all good citizens,
that as they desire the protection of their own,
they should secure to us the free exercise OF
those rights guaranteed to US by the God of Ma
ture, of Revelation, and the Constitution of the
land.
Mr. browns then arose and offered the follow
ing:
Resolred, That as Slavery is now a loathsome
beast of fourteen heads, lin fourteen States,
disregarding right and the liberties of all, we,
having armed ourselves with the helmet of Lib
erty, the breastpate of Justice, and the sword OF
Truth, will wage against it an unceasing war;
Resolped, That we request the publication OF
the above resolutions in the kentucky Necs,
Richmond Messenger, and National Era.
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1855-05-10

of some provision for the amicable settlement
of difficulties by a resort to decisive arbitra-
ton.
20. That the Free Democratic party is not
organized to aid either the Wing or Democratic
wing of the great Slave Compromise party of
the nation, but to defeat them both and that
repudiating and renouncing both, as hopelessly
corrupt and utterly unworthy of confidence,
the purpose of the Free Democracy is to take
possession of the Federal Government, and adj
minister it for the better protection of the rights
and interests of the whole people.
81. That we inscribe on our banner, FREE
Soil, FREE SPEECH, FREE LABOR, and FREE
MEN, and under it viii fight on and fight ever,
until triumphant victory shall reward our

For the National Era
FREE DISCUSSION IN KENTUCKY.

At meeting of the citizens in the vicinity of
Glade meeting house, Madison co., KY, called
to consider the resolutions and conduct of the
late Crab Orchard mob, who in an adjoining
county struck down liberty of speech in the
person of John G. Fee, on motion, Harrison
Buman was appointed Chairman, and p. Ii.
West, Secretary.
After an address from j. G.. Fee, showing the
nature and corrupting tendency of Slavery, its
many evils in pecuniary, intellectual, social,
and moral point of view, on motion of Hamil-
ton Raulings, the following resolutions were
read and adopted:
l. Resolced, That the conduct of DR.. Mont
gomery, VIM. Owsley, and other citizens of Lin
coin and Garrard counties in forcibly dragging
the person of John G. Fee from the place ap-
pointed for preaching and debate, was not only
an open violation of law, but of decency and
good order, and as such should be discounte.
nanced by all good citizens.
z. Resotred, That if Mr.. Fee was teaching err
ror, then some one of the many preachers, law
yers, and doctors, of the land, ought to have
exposed the error before the people, in open de.
bate; especially as Mr. Fee then, and so often
previous, invited discussion.
3. Resotred, That the unwillingness to de-
bate, and the resort to brute force, betrays q
conscious weakness and guilt on the part OF
| those who thus act. When deeds are evil, men
hate the light.
4. RESOLVED, That if John G.. Fee had in any
wise violated law, then the duty of that mob
was, not themselves to violate law, by taking
from said Fee liberty of speech and person, but
to have, by regular process, brought him before
the law tribunals, and thus have demeaned
themselves, not as outlaws, but as lovers of law
and order.
5. Resolred, That if mob violence shall BIZ
sanctioned, then no man can have protection O
person, family, or property, and that anarchy
and misrule must reign.
6. RESOLVED, That as storms purify the natura
atmosphere, so, often, does agitation the NOR

From the Cleveland (O.) Leader.

IGNORING SLAVERY AT PAINESvHI.E
The ignoring process is going on lively in
the Know Nothing lodge at gainesville. The
brethren will find themselves ignored by the
People, next.
We derive the following information from
the Telegraph, published in that place. On
Thursday night lately the members met, and
ordered ballot for delegate to the Grand
State Council of the Order which is to meet in
June, at Cleveland, for the purpose of nomi
mating State ticket for the fall election. The
result Of the ballot was the election of WELL
known Anti-Slavery man. The gentleman &C
cepted the office, with few remarks, expressing
the pleasure with which he should represent his
brethren on the occasion, and pledging his best
exertions for the furtherance of all measures
tending to strengthen the Grand American
ideas of personal, civil, and religious liberty.
AT the next meeting of the Council a resolu-
ton was introduced, iustructing the delegate
how to vote on the Slavery question. 1t was
introduced by A. J. Williams, a bitter Nebras.
ka Locofoco who was defeated last fall for
Prosecuting Attorney on the Slavery issue, by
A. l.. Tinker, the Anti-Slavery candidate. Find
ing that nothing could be done for Locofocoism
or Slavery out of doors, this notorious servile
Williams joined the Know Nothings, to see
what could be accomplished underground.
Well, on the night in question, this A. j. Will
hams rises in Council, and moves the passage
of a resolution instructing the delegate to the
State Council to take no action there that shall
IN any possible manner commit the Council to
either an Anti-Slavery or Pro-Slavery position !;
to ignore the question entirely in all its ramifi-
cations. The resolution was laid on the table,
and made the order for the next Thursday
night.
When the time came, Williams sustained his
resolution with trade against the Anti-Slavery
men, and was followed and sustained by Tinker,
who owes his election specially to his pretended
AntSlavery sentiments.
Here Benjamin Bissell followed Tinker in
the support of Mr.. Williams and his resolu-
ton, and for the crushing out" of this Anti
Slavery sentiment.
The resolution was carried. The newly elect
ed delegate, upon the passage of the resolution,
resigned the Office thus made ignoble A new
ballot was ordered, and Mr.. Tinker was elected !;
! gagged delegate, a dumb man, on the only
political question thatw should suppose a man
OF Tinker's spirit and sense would care at this
time to have an opinion.
The Telegraph we'll remarks that these cen-
tlemen may play their hand at ignoring, but
the question will not stay ignored. In the face
| of these facts we have creatures in this CITY.
protesting to be editors, who curse and swear
as bitterly as did Peter, when DENYING his
Master, that the Know Nothing Order does not
ignore the Slavery question, that it is an Anti
Slavery organization, &c. But here the cloven
foot sticks out rather palpably, for such at
tempts at deception to prove successful.
