JUDGE KANE,s DECISION,

The Worcester Palladium, the ablest
Democratic paper in Massachusetts, and the
only one which advocates democratic princi.
Piles, has the following observations, upon
Kane's recent decision -
According to this Judge, the whole South
may, if it chooses, in defiance of all State
legislation bring its slaves into the free States
aud hold then at its pleasure. The principle
of Kane's decision, if allowed to stand as
valid, subyerts the rights which have given
the States their character as States. It il
another of those aggressions which slavery is
ever making upon freedom; and opens the
way for the establishment of slave marts in
the free States, and for the quiet and legal
possession of as many slaves in the free States
as their owuers may choose to bring with
them. ~
Scarcely week passes in which some new
blow is not struck at the rights of the States
as sovereign and independent communities
up to the full measures Of the powers not ex'
pressly delegated to the federal government
and that government, being entirely d crea.
ture of the States, has no power except those
which are expressly conceded to it by the
States themselves If ithas any otherpow-
crs, they have been usurped, under cover o.
the opinions Of courts, established and paid
by itself to construe the extent or its owr
authority.
Judge Kane ignores the opinion which SC
long had prevalence, that slavery is a local
institution, belonging exclusively to the States
that sustain it. He makes it national and
this idea begins to manifest itself elsewhere
than in Philadelphia court. Let it continue
to be preached as occasion presents itself
let slaves be brought into the free States
until the public eye gets familiar with them
let the Know Nothings 60 on with their pro
scription Of foreigners until emigration of oil
working men and women shall cease, anG
there are no aborers to be found; and then

TzH REFUmLxUAH PARTY I'm MAssA-
ID. CHUsETTS.


The different anti-Nebraska and anti-slayery
elements in Massachusetts have at length sue
,ceeded in resolving themselves into Republic
can party. AT the State Convention at Worces-
csster. last week, after quite sharp contest
about men, not principles, Julius Rockwell late
member in Congress, and formerly free soil
Wing, succeeded in obtaining majority of
votes as candidate for Governor when the mi
nority, gracefully yielding their preference for
Gardner, between whom and Rockwell only was
the contest, the nomination was made nearly
unanimous by the 1000 delegates composing this
mammoth Convention. ............
Gardner forfeited the confidence of the Free
Democracy of Massachusetts, by his veto upon
the Personal Liberty bill, and his refusal to car
~ out the will of the Legislature in the removal
Of Judge Loring; and though he did much
towards redeeming himself ct the American
Convention at Philadelphia, it was not enough
for the determined anti-slavery men OF the Old
Bay State. He had fslered, and they would
trnst no such man in crisis like this.
Iu establishing their platform, they have been
Ahe first to raise the clear and unmixed issue be-
between freedom and slavery. Their resolutions
touch no other subject than slavery and its ag-
gressions. This, as we have scores of times
said, is the issue, and the only issue, which

And we honor old Massachusetts for her cour.

MASSACHUSETTS REPUBLICAN CoNvEN.
TEUN.

The following epitome which we find in the
Burlington Free Press of Monday contains all
the essential details of the great Republican
Convention, held last Thursday, at Worcester,
embracing the resolo tions, &C., to which wa
have referred in another part Of our paper.
Over thousand delegates whose seats were
uncontested, were present from two hundred
and thirty-two towns and cities, the delegates
having been elected by those who are ready to
unite to resist slavery aggression, and in pro-
portion to representation in the General Court.
In five towns delegates had been elected by
Councils The committee on Credentials
Jected them. There were double delegations
from three or four towns. In those cases the
committee decided in favor of those who were
chosen in a fair open meeting, called for men of
all parties, without inquiring what party con-
,rolled the meeting There was considerable
excitement on the subject of that report and
sundry hot speeches made By large maiori-
ty the convention voted that in balloting for
Governor, each delegate should wr1te his DUN
name on his ballot. A committee of twenty
six, R. II. Dana, Jr., Chairman, was appointed
to present resolutions. They reported short
snd weighty address, closing as follows '~
as This party, if it has history, must meet
the great political questions of the day as they
arise, but always in subordination to The ques-
ton of Freedom. 1t is only in the spgit of
concession and tolerance Oh other subjects, that
we can be united on this In the dissentions Of
the Free, is the hope ever Of despotism. Let
US take heed that we lose not the cause Of Free
dom here, as it has been lost the world over, in
all time, by unworthiness to enjoy its blessings,
and inability to unite in its defence.
|. Resolued, That slavery. us a State institu-
ton, is not within our power OR responsibility
but slavery in its relation to the nati;n, is the
concern of every man in the nation in its re-
lation to the free States is the concern of every
man in the free States. u 81.
2. Resolped, That the increase and advance
of slavery, the additions to the number Of slave
States, the successive triumphs of slavery in the
political contests of the last half century, the
control of slavery over all departments Of the
Government, the experience Of the last few
years in the legislative, executive and judicia
departments, and more especially the repeal o.
the Missouri Compromise, have made slavery
in its national relations and in its relations K
the free States, the paramount practical ques
ton in the politics Of the country
8. ResolUed, That Massachusetts, the earliest
battle ground of freedom, gives her heart ant
hand to Kansas, the latest battle-ground of free
dom.
4. Resolved, That the repeal of the Missouri
compromise makes every inch of the nationa
domain battle-g ground between freedom anc
slavery 1t makes tho admission of every new
State conflict between freedom and slavery
The issue thus forced upon US we accept. W.
