CorespoDdenee Of The N. Y. Tribune.
MoSTRosE, Pa, Tuesday, Aug 81, 1855.
An enthusiastic meeting of the friends of Free
dom convened in our village, Monday August 20,
pursuant to call of the Committee appointed by
the susquebsnna County Republican party. After
the Convention WAS duly organized by the election
of proper ofiicers-Orange Mott, Esq, in the
cbair-I eonard p Hines delivered a short though
puurrnt speech, after which the Convention
addressed by the Hon. David Wilmot, who briefly
stated the position occupied by the Republican
party, clearly showing the futility of further ad
herence to old party issues, and urging the neces
sity of immediate and joint action on the one great
issue he stility to Human Slavery.
At the conclusion of the learned Judges able
address, a series of strong resolutions, from which
We select the following, were passed with unanl'
nous "aye" that shook the old Hall of Justice, in
which the Convention was held to its foundation:

After the adoption Of these Resolutions, the fol-
lowing persons were chosen as Delegates TO the
Pittsburgh Convention:
Hon. Nm. Jessup, Hon. ID. ID. Warner, Robert
GTifiis Cbas +. Read, III. II. Frazier, ). Is. Chase,
John Young, Albert Bushnell, John +. Deans.
The proceedings of the Convention are but an
index Of the state of feeling in this section Of Perm
sylvanie fhe minds Of the people have at last
been awakened to the consideration of their true
interests. They now see the absolute necessity of
active opposition to the encroachments of the
Southern Cligarcby, and although the apathy of
ell parties has been astonishing, considering the
momentous interests az stake, yet that apathy ia
now in great measure thrown of, and we feel
confident that their action in the contest of 1866
will clear their fkrts from the foul stain brought
upon the Keystone State by iss executive officers.
