among other tanatical resolutions:
That the time has arrived when the Amer can
party of the United States called upon to take
open, fearless. and unreserved ground upon the
great question of Slavery. that is now agitatng

that the intense eXcit, ment and agitation which
at the present time are dlstracting our country

the peal of the Missouri Compromise.

The reverend agitator, Henry Ward Beecher, is
out for Fremont in a late numhtr of his hde-
p,ndent He is probably, next to Garrison and
Phil ps. the most prof gate caumniator OF the
Const tuition aud the Union. On the 1tth of Jan
uary, 1855, Beecher said, in lecture in New
York. on the subject of cutting the North from
the South:
'.Al att, mpts at evasion. at adourning. at con
craling an compromising. are in vain. The rea-
son OF our long agitation is not that restless Alb

RIFLES BEFORE BIBIEs.-Ata public meeting
held in his church to promote emigration to
Kansas. the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher made the
following remarks. as we find them in the report
of the New York Evening Post:
''He believed that the Sharp rifle was truly
mortal agency, and there more moral power
in Of those Instruments so far as the slave
hold rs of Kansas was concerned, than in hun
drod Bibles"
In this paper the Independently this fanati-
cal supporter and lend OF Fremont says:
1T long since this paper took the ground that
the first thing, though by no means the only thing,
needtul, was the formation of Sectional parties
OF parties distinctly Northern and Southern. and,
of necessity. Slavery and Anti Slavery. We re-
joice that our eyes behold the day of that begin
ming of the end
I'VE need hardly say that we do not look upon
this new party as one that should supercede the
anti. Slavery movement. 1t has sprung rom that
movement, and whatever of strength and hope it
has, lies in the anti Slavery feeling OF the North
ern mind. 1t is vain that strvile men pleasures
seek to parate this effect from its anti-Slavery
origin. The Shareholders stamp it with its real
characters, and describe it better than it likes
to do itself"
A few more extracts and we have done.
.On the action Of this Convention depends the
fate of the country, if the Republicans fall at the
ballot box we will be forced to drive back the
