The Kansas herald of freedom., 1855-08-11

that the repeal of said Compromise was
an unealled for, most gross and wanton
outrage upon the rights, feelings and
sentiments ofihe people of the free States.
and should be condemned by every citi-
zen of every State of this Union, as a
most peridious and treacherous violation
of the public faith and national honor.
Resolved, That the people of New
Hampshire demand, as right, the resto-
ration of said Compromise and the
amendment of the Kansas and Nebraska
bill, so-called, so as to exclude slavery
from said Territories, and will never con-
sent to the admission into the Union of
any State formed out of said Territory
with a Constitution tolerating slavery
Resolved, That, while the people of
New Hampshire are ardently and affec-
tionately attached to the Union, and win
do all in their power to preserve it, con-
sistently with their honor and their rights,
they will not, TO avoid any crisis, submit
to the introduction of slavery into Kan
sas and Nebraska, consecrated and set
apart to free labor as those Territories
lave been for more than thirty years, by
the consent ofall the States of the Union.
Resolved, That threats Of dissolu-
ton of the Union, coming from the slave
States, unless they are permitted to reg
ulate the policy of the General Govern
ment en the subject of slavery, have lost
all their terrors, with the people of New
Hampshire, and they are resolved to de-
mand and. enforce their rights IN every
crisis. and at any sacrifice consistent
with honor and the Constitution.
Resolved, That it viii be time for the
General Assembly of Arkansas to CON-
plain of the legislation of the free States
respecting slavery, when the slave States
shall have corrected their own, and when
thc lives, liberty and property of the
people of the free States shall be made
safe therein
Resolved, That the question whether
It's the duty and the interest of Llie, peo-
pie of Arkansas to discontinue all social
and commercial relations with the people
of Ohio in consequence of conduct which
they disapprove, is one upon which the
people of New Hampshire are not, at this
time, called to act, and one which they
are willing the peopleof Arkansas should
settle for themselves, upon their own re-
sponsibility, having no fears that the peo
pie of Ohio will be frightened from what
they deem their duty or interest, by any
threats of the kind coming from the State
of Arkansas, or any other slave State,
and that tie people of New Hampshire
hereby pledge themselves to the people
of Ohio that they wili-unite with and sus-
tain them in all Constitutional efforts to
resist the further aggressions of the slave
power.
Resolved, That His Excelleney the
Governor be, and he hereby is, requested
to transmit copies of these resolutions to
the Governors of the several States and
Territories of the Union, to be laid be-
fore the Legislative authorities thereof;
and to our Senators aud Representatives

and House of Representatives of the
United States.
