A Good ..Fusion'' Platform Drafted by Dan.
iet W ebster.

There was a glorious meeting IN old Fan
Gull Hall on Monday evening. A number
of soul stirring speeches were delivered, and
a series of strong resolutions adopted. Among
them was the following. adopted in 1916. by
the convention which nominated Geo. n.
Briggs for Governor. 1t was written by
Daniel Webster:
Resolred, That the people of Massachu
sets will continue TO use all constitutional
measures to restrain the already preponder-
a:inr influence Of the slaveholding interest
in the national legislature, TO defeat all meas
ures calculated to uphold slavery and promote
all constitutional measures for It's overthrow;
and oppose at all times. with compromising
zeal and frmness, any further addition 10
Slaveholding States to this Union, out of
whatever territory formed, and that they will,
in like manner, oppose all further extension
of the slavery Of the African race on this
continent.
''1f. under the government OF Providence,
ii shall happen that portions of this continent
not belong ing to the United States shall be
settled BY the Saxon race, let those settlers
carry with them. wherever they 90. together
with their own free blood, the blessings Of
free government and free institutions to ALL
and chains of slavery to none. Wherever
our language Is hereafter 10 be spoken, our
history remembered. our example quoted, or
our kindred acknowledged. there let universal
freedom and equal laws be proclaimed to
man
We ask, in all seriousness, whether any
sentence is now uttered By any single repub-
lican in the land. more thoroughly republican
or more deserving the epithet of treason"
than this? 1t goes as far any who now
20 the farthest; and vet those who hypocrit
ically assume TO revere the memory of Daniel
Webster denounce as abolition traitors all
who avow. as the basis of their political SC
ton. the doctrines taught them by the great
Expounder Of the Constitution
With Daniel Webster. the Republicans now
say tha. they will use all constitutional meas
ures TO restrain the already preponderating
influence of slaveholding interests in the
national Legislature"
With Daniel Webster. they viii use all con-
stitusional means TO defeat all measures cal
culated TO uphold slavery. and promote all
constitutional measures for lis overthrow
With Daniel Webster. they say (aad for
this republicans are most bitterly denounced)
they will oppose. a. all times. with uncom-
promising zeal and hrmness. any further ad-
dition of slaveholding States to this Union,
out of Whatever territory formed" aud
With Daniel W ebster we advocate, FREE
INSTITUTIONS FOR CHAINS
AND SLAVERY FOR NONE"

RICHMOND PALLADIUM.
NeXa from Congress.

Tie House was called TO order at the usual
hour on Monday BY Forney the old Clerk. the
members presenting credentials sworn in, and
then proceeded to organize by balloting for
Speaker. On the first ballot, Richardson Of
Illinois, received ~ votes. the whole demo
cratic strength, Campbell of Ohio. 53; Pen
nington Of n. Jersey, a; Marshall of Ky. 80;
Banks Of Mass. 81; Henry NJ. Fuller Of
Pennsyly ania, 17-no choice. Great efforts
were made in caucus on Monday evening TO
unite the Hhig. free-soil and know nothing
factions, bu: with little success as it would
appear from the ballo,ings on Tuesday. which
increased richardson's vote on the ninth trial
10 rs; give Campbell only 81 votes. and Mar
shall only 10, increased Banks vote to 81
and Fuller TO 81. Il would be useless TO
speculate on the probable result The pres
ent appearances look most favorable for Banks,
though new man may be taken up before
the contest is ended. II is said that the south
ern members utterly refuse to unite with the
northern republicans or northern know moth
.ngs on any man.

DEMOCRATIC ISCoSsIsrESCY.-Our readers
will remember that the State Rights or Dem
ocrat.c party of North Carolina, South Carroll
ma, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Arkansas,
and Texas, and even the Trousdale party in
this State, in 1850 and 1851, led on by such
men as jefferson Davis and General Quiman,
Of Mississippi, Governor Trousdae of Ten
nessee, Cheves of South Carolina, and Col
quit, Of Georgia, unanimously opposed the
Compromise measures, condemnint them as
unconstitutional, and fraudulent sale Of South
ern rights. They particularly opposed the
0dnaiSso,, of California a free State, urging
the unconsttu;ionaltv of the measure, upon
the ground that foreigners were permitted to
vote IN the election ratifying its constitution,
who were no. citizens Of the United States,
and therefore not entitled to vote. They then
proclaimed loudly against foreign migration,
aud said 1t was un Just TO the South. that hai
spent her blood and treasure in the conquest
of California. 10 lose such large portion of
territory for ever to the institution of slavery,
and especially where i: could have been made
profitable, by unqualified FOREIGN voters
Tie thousands of Europeans, and even the
Chinese " no had been attracted thther by
the glittering sands of the Sierra Nevada, were
not proper judges of SO great and momen-
tious question. involving such vast interests
to the whole South whether Slavery should or
should not exist in California? Our natural-
cation laws were pronounced shockingly i'm
perfect, a disgrace to the nation, and wholly
injurious in their operations to the South
Tennessee Standard.
