"If cur memory serves us Alright, not more than
six years ago an unusually large Democratic ;
Convention assembled in Springfield. Hon. Ben
Ilamin L. Hallett and the senior editor of the Post,
Col. Charles G. Greene, were among its prominent
members. The first named gentleman offered, and
is presumed to have been author of, q series of
resolutions, which, in a convention numbering
seven hundred, were unanimously adopted, as the
voice Of the Democracy Of Massachusetts. They
are therefore upon the record. endorsed at least by
the silent acquiescence or actual assent of the re-
sponslble editor of the Post. The first resolution,
reads as follows:
tIesolced, That we ~. c. Greene. B.. L. Hallett
&c., are opposed 10 Sluucyy in eocry firm and color,

The second resolution reads as follows:

Perhaps the next time the Post undertakes to ex-
pound constitutional law, as laid down by Judge
Kane, it will take the above resolution, adopted as
sound by it's senior editor, Is its text, to confirm
tho right of the South to force its sectional institu-
tons upon sovereign States, which exclude them
from their borders.
The third resolution is a natural sequitur to
the above. and is as follows:
'Res0toed, Meieto'e, That as Slavery does not ex-
list by any municipal law in the new Territories,
and Congress has no power to Institute it, the
local laws of any State authorizing Slavery can
never be transported there, nor can Slavery exist
there but by a local law oil the Territories, sanction
