In each Of the two following years, successive
New-liampshre Legislatures, still strongly Demo
cratic passed similar resolves, SIS did those oil all

In 1e47 oct. s., Wing State Convention was
held at Syracuse in our State, whereof JG"ts
Brooks. Editor Of tn. n. \. Express, was mem-
Der; and to him was confded the duty OF drafting
the Address to the People Of our State. In that
Address Mr.. Brooks, with the hearty assent Of the
entire Convention, speaks OF Slavery -E1tension as
follows:
eve protest, in the name of the Rights OF Man and
of Liberty against the further extension OF slavery IN
North America. The curse which our mothef country
inflicted upon us in spite of our fathers circumstances
we demand shall never blight the VIRGIN sou oil the
North Pacific. We feel thst II would be horrible

bnghted region of Asintic despotisD with Africans

have desire to inriI &c upon any one OF the copro
misses Of the Constitution. The Constitution as Is

Wings Of the North conservatives OF the Consttu

The fell and mischievous results of Abolltionlsm are
nowhere better understood more condemned than III
New Yoik. But We will not pour out the blood OF our
countrymen, if we help it, to turn Free into a
Slave FOIL. We will not spend from fifty TO hundred
millions of delars per year to make asayemarket Tor
ally portion Of our counhyIDen. We VIII never, for
such purpose consent to run up an untold Natonai
Debt and saddle our posterity with fund mon gers,
bOkers tax gaherers, laying an excise or an I'M
post OH every thing they taste, touch or live by. The

Now this same James Brooks is one ofthe nois-
est advocates of acquescence in Slavery Extension
and nightly sits up with the Union for fear that
the "Black Republicans will destroy it BY keep
ing Slavery out of Kansas and Nebraska He has
turned against the great body of his old political
associates ON this very question, and now assslls
them as Abolitionists, DisunioIists, &c, for main
tanning the identical doctrine proclaimed BY him in
the Wing State Address of le47.
Josiah Randall of Philadelphia il another ex-
Wing who is now busily denouncing the Republican
party as sectional and dangerous to the Union, and
therefore Che says) he supports Buchanan. Yet
nearly forty years ago lin 1870 this same Mr. Ran
dali, then member of the Pennsylvania House,
himself called the Yeas and Nays upon aud voted for
a preamble which forcibly denounced the contem-
plated admission of Missouri as a Slave STATE,
stigmatizing it IA measure
which has palpable tendency to impair the political
relations of the several States which ia calculated to
mar the social happiness Of the present and future gene
ratons which, If adopted, would impede the march OF
humanity and Freedom through the world and would
II ansfer from misguided ancestry an odous stain and
fix il indeliby upon the present race-d measure In
brief which proposes to spread the crimes and cruel
ties of Slavery from the banks of the Mississippi to the
shores of the Pacific
Mr. Randall and his associates proceed to say
that
" it cannot be pretended that the rights of any of
the States are at all to be affected by refusing to ex-
tend the nschies of human bondage over the bound
less regions of the Wet
and conclude by adopting, as the unanimous sentl-
ment of Pennsy lyania, the following:
"RCsolred, By the Senate and House Of Rewe'eata-
tires of The Commonwealth IF PcRHsylraaia, That the
Senators of this State IN the Congress of the United
States be- snd they are hereby instructed, and that the
Representatives Of this State III the Congress Of the
United States be- and they hereby requested, TO
,,te against the admission of any Territory as State
into the Union uness said Territory shall stpulate and
sgree that the further introduction of Slavery or in.
voluntary seryitude, except for the punishment OF
crimes whereof the party shall have been duly con-
yicied ,hall be prohibited and that all children born
within the said Territory, after its admission into the
Union a. State. shall be free, but may be held TO

Wilmot Proviso was before the Senate, protested
