The stockton and Rayner Boilers.


The following infamous resolutions were unani-
mously adopted by the seceders from the Northern
K. N. Convention who nominated Commodore Stock
ton and Kenneth Rayner:
"ResolUed That freedom of speech in the person of
Senator of the United States by ruian attack which
would disgrace the mnons of depotc uhority has been
assaled spot where liberty and the pro-
tect it, and that if eemen cannot speak and egsate
less with their pesoIs time that they shonld
arm in defense of their rights
Resolued That the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
perperated for the purpose continuing in the
the people, North South that a breach of the
tonal faith and violation of the national HONOR and was
other that it is aggression upon eemen and free terri
tory and that it cannot aud will not be as haV
ing valid authority but that Notwithstanding the abroga-
on by law of that Compromise it must and shall be for
ever subsistn and the territory
by it to free labor must and shall forever remain
Sotued That the efforts of the present Administration
and party to force by outrage and violence and
armed intervention the institution Of slavery upon Kansas
free governments and whether they may temporarily
coed or not the people of the North all pa
tros at the South who feel bound by the honorable
should be free.
Resolved That we have entire confidence in the princi
pies and heroic character of Commodore F. Stockton of
New jersey and that him to the people of the
the Presidency who WILL if elected, respect the consttu
tlona rights Of all sections, while he the intrepid
will and the moral courage which will enable him, when
necessary to arrest violation by either section of the
rights of the other.
Resoiced That in Kenneth Rayner, our candidate for
Vice President, have American the principles
OF our party, who is opposed to the ncon of the
tiona faith esnlan, wlse bod and patriotic, who
all circumstances will maintain the obligations of the
Union the Constitution and the rights Of the whole and
every part of our common country"
What says Mr.. Rayner?
The following resolution was also adopted by
these abolitionsts They cordially hgree it will be
seen, with their Southern brothers in denouncing
President PIERCE
Resotned That Americans in all sections country
without distinction Ut do rebuke and op
posed to the Infamous and corrupt which
characterized the Course OF the present Administrations
The above is quite as strong the language used
by Mr.. Gilmer towards the President achose great
ault in the estimation Of a6olnionists u.s. that he
has been true to the Constitutional rights Of the
South. What says Mr. Gilmer? His Know Moth
ing brethren in the free States denoance the repeal
of the Missouri line " an atrocious breach of the
national faith "-he speaks of it as breach oi
faith, and " a reckless and unwise measure" That
is the difference between them. Who sees it? Shame
on Southern men, who, for party ends, or from ha
tired towards Democ, ats, thus unite with the vile
and God.forsaken abolitionsts in denouncing g
measure which restored the Constitution in this re
spect to its former vgor, and which was intended
to benefit, and has benefited their own section =
Well may these abolition Know Nothings take i
for granted that certain of their Southern brethren
agree with them-well may they declare tha
"Americans in all sections of the country, withou
distinction Of organization" unite with them il
their hatred of President Pierce, who is all thing
considered, the soundcst Constitutional Executiv
this country has ever had.
But achat says Mr.. Rayner?
