strongly the chains, and extending more widely the

vote of 20 to 80 and yet de Free States, having lfo
electoral votes a anst 100 from the Slave States gave
but eht votes IN its favor. IL was earned oy the
South-on them will rest the responsibility OF Its con-
sequences. "
And now in this platform the South ask to abide
by and maintain the existing laws upon the subject
"of Slavery as a final and conclusive settlement Of
that SUI itct in spIit and in substance. We well
remember when the compromises of 1850 became na-
ii, nal laws, the same request was made OF u.s. We
complied though we then deemed, as we DO now, that
sope Of their provisions unjust aud wrong Yet
the great BODY % Northern meu accepted them as 9
hnality. No sooner however did the progagandsts OF
Slavery obtain power in the nation under the dlsunct
and positive pledge of acqueecence IN good faith to
the existing laws than and most outrageous IN

by restoring violated national compact
One fortunate psult has been in great degree al
ready attained by this peridy of the National Admin
istraiion The race OF Northern men with Southern
prnciples has become nearly extinct Doughfaces ex-
lit now fy in history. Men cannot be found here,
after who dare brave the disgust and loethlng OF
n united public sentiment for any office, however ele-
waited. or any emolument, however courted. Our
Southern brethren NAV continue to hold their black
slaves under their own municipal laws, but they have
forever lost their Northern white ones as obsequous
and more valuable tben even the blacks.
Tie State Council of Massachusetts, with pride and
entire unaninty ndorse the action of her delegates 10
the Convention at Philadelphia, and in so doing but
reflect the public sentiment OF our citizens We accept
the platform promulgated by those delegates and their
associates on the l4h OF June expressive of our SEN
timents and declaring undated attachment to
American principles and our determination TO do all
