of Mr.. Dame. The Manchester american
says that about one hundred delegates we're
IN attendance /; that the meeting was harm
onious and that the odths and bans Of secre-
cy icere removed.
The second and third resolution passed at
the convention. show the position OF the par
~ upon the national questions which now
agitate the country:
Resoired, That freedom being national
and slavery sectional. while the latter is left
IN the exercise Of all us strictly constitution
al rights, IN the States where 1t now exists.
Its further extension and longer connection
with the general government should be I'M
comoromsingly opposed and resisted, and
the laws for the execution Of It's existing
privileges be made 10 conform to the Dict
ates Of justice and humanity.
Resolred, That the question of the ex-
tension of slavery, as now presented to fhe
country by the repeal OF the Missouri, Pro-
hibltlon, by the outrages pract:sed in Kan
sas under the sanction Of the administration,
and the decision Of an arbitrary and tyran-
nical Federal Judge, which, If adopted as
the judicial doctrine OF the government, will
make every Free State IN the Union slave
territory, Is the paramount question now be-
fore the nation. aud that we believe the time
has arrived when all who oppose the further
eucroachnents of slavery, and would restore
the policy OF the Fathers of the Republic,
should unite their efforts and cooperate for
that purpose

The London Times has a noticeable edi.
torial respecting American expulsion. The
Times says-"rhe English Government is
emitting no opportunity of reinforcing the
West India squadron and thus imposing
powerful barrier between Britain and the
North American continent. Al this moment
North America IL in profound peace with the
whole world, yet ii is not the less true that
in her ports are fitting out, at this moment,
piraucaI nlibustcring expeditions, destined
to carry war and bloodshed into the domin
ions Of an inotfe nding neighbor. We cans
not believe that those who are now engaged
in enrolling unhappy men for these desperate
and criminal enterprises, fully contemplate
the success Of a descent upon Ireland, for
instance, as probable, or even possible. If
we can prevent the expedition from sailing,
or intercept them mid-ocean, we shall have
doue much towards ayerting the dangers
which must arise, should they be carried out
to their natural development"

R,soiuiion.-By Mr. Edmunds, joint re-
solution, appointing the committee already

Mr. Grandey explained that this committee
had been appointed by direction of the
House, and in accordance with all former
precedents and in ulluson to an intimation
that the House might wish TO supervise the
report of this committee, he expressed the
opinion that the committee is not bound to
report, and that the House cannot controlits
action. Messrs Field and Powers Of w. dis
sented from this opinion, and opposed the
resolution, os a meihed Of legaliziog the acts
Of the committee, which. they believed, are
unjust to some of the counties. Mr.. Ed
munds supported the resolution as being ne
cessary to get a legal list, upon which the
state taxes are TO be made else there may
be no tax, and the wheels Of government
may be stopped until started again by ar
extra session of the Legislature Mr. Marsh
objected 20 asking the Senate to ratify ar
unlawful act Of the House AMI Mr. Powers
Of W. suggested that all difficulty could be
obvn'ed by Joint resolution or act, dcclar-
ing that the grand list, as returned by the
eQualizinr committees Of the counties, shall
be the list for state taxes. This, said Mr. Ed
munds, would be lantamount to allowing eve
ry county to fix the state tax for itself As
well might every town, and every individual
indeed be left to say just what the list shall
be--and thus ths state tax would became
really contribution, limited by the will o.
each contributor. Laid on the table.
The committee under the 4ih JOINT Rule
was discharged from the lroquoIs claim, and
it was referred to committee on claims.
