The Republicans Of Cortland County met
yesterday in Convention at Cortlandvile, for the
purpose Of appointing delegates to the State
Convention 10 be held at Syracuse. The nun
Der in stteLdsnee ives ls-ge, considering thar
farmers are IN the micst Of hsying and harvest
ing.
The Convention was organized by calling
Dora Grass to the Chair, and appointing Arthur
Holmes and W BabcOck Secretaries. A series
Of resolutions were reported and unanimously
adopted, which affirm that we will consent 90
no further compromise with Slavery, that We
demand the immediate and unconditional repeal of
the Fugitive Slave Law, that viii resist to the
last extremity the admission into the Union of
another Slave State, and the spread of Slavery
over another foot of American soil that the free
men Of all parties are called upon TO lay aside old
political predictions and unite in one solid phs-
lanx against the aggressOns Of the Slave Oil
gsrcby-that Freedom is national and those
WHO rally for its defense are not sectional
lists or disunionists, but they guard the cor
ner@tOnt on which set the prosperity aud
very existence Of our country-that while
We strike for freedom from physical bondage
we would not be uDmiDdfal of the vile and de-
grading ser,itude of the intoxicating cup-that we
bid God speed to every effort advance the inter-
est Of the Temperance cause that while we de-
clare ouI full confidence in our present Prohbtory
Liquor. Law we will affirm it at the ballot-bOx
The issue is presented; with a calm, resolute
and determined spirit the freemen Of the North
are preparing to meet it. Men from all parties
are ready for the work, believing that the forma.
tion of great national organization is necessary
as medium of expression for Northern sentiment
and OF bringing the proper influence to bear upon
the National Government. Especially is it the
duty of the citizens of our commonwealth the
Empire State, proud in its position, great in its
wealth, commanding in Its infu' nee, to establish
it at once and forever openly and distinctly on the
side Of Freedom. Al.
