committees TO the policy Of Slavery restriction.
Resoirtd, That, in the crimee ADD outra1es recent
~ conn lit. by the upbolders of the Slave Power in
hamas AZ Missouri, We have renewed evidence that
squatter soveregnty u delusion and fraud: tn At
Slavery u qualy INSCRIPTIONS in acquiring contested
bs III Using onced.d power and that the on'y s.fe-
guard against its universal diffusion and dominion
10 De found IN its rigorous confinement within the lin
ITS OF tue states which coDstitutionally cherish it.
Resolred, That to the noble band OF pioneers who
have gene forth from among US TO plant the standard
OF Ere edom and Equal Laws in Kansas we tender the
assurar OF fervent admir- for their devoted
ness nclgna'ion for their wrongs and sympathy for
their suferngs and we pledge ourselves to intermit
no effort and relax e1ertioDs until their rights shall
have been vndicated and their oppressors brought
justice.
"Resolred, That the orphan children Of our brethren
who for their devotion to the Free-Sse cause have
been or shall be put to death by Missounan or
Other Southern rufiiaDs now devastating Kansas, are
Justly entitled to subsistence and education at the
hands Of their comparios in the Free States and we
recommend that committees be organized and collec-
tons for this purpose promptly made in every city and
township Of our State.
&" Resolved That we iptreat all who concur with us
in DE- string and demanding that Freedom shall be
national and Slavery sectional to forget postpone
their differences on other points, and unite with US in
securing Freedom TO Kansas and excluding Slavery
from all the Territories Of the Union.
Resotped That in the recent and fragrant ontrages
at the Federal Metropolis, by one Of which Senator
Of the United States was brutey beaten and stricken
picious Of danger we zee new evidence Of the AFRO
gance Of the Slave power and its determn alton TO
cOncede Io nights to their adversaries but such as
their night arms shall vindicate and uphold; and we
eIbort our Senators and Representatives TO stand
firmly by their principles and their convictions, aud
realize that the disgrace of acts of barbarian rests
those who perpetuate, and not on those who suffer by
them.
"Resolred That the rights OF the States, aud Of the
people located In the Territories just objects of
hcitude and support, and we condemn the efots
making in day to fuse all political power into
indiscriminate and overwhelming natiOnalsm,
trary to the faith Of fathers and perous to Repub
lean institutions.
"Resolred, That we AK those who passed them to
live up to the following resolution adopted by the
Soft Democratic Convt ntion which met last Septem-
Der in this city to nominate State officers, viz:
:" ResolDed That while the Democracy Of this State
will faithfully adhere to all the compromises of the
Constitution and maintain all the reserved rights of
the States, they deem this appropriate Oscason to
DE- clare their fixed hostility to the extension Of Slavery
into free territory.
Resolred, That we regard the organization of
bands Of armed bOrdeers and their intrusion into the
Territory Of Kansas, not bona ds settlers, but for
the forcbe subversies Of the rights Of its legal cleo
tors not only violation of the peace of the Onion
and the rights of the community asseied, but aads-
timely subverve of the intent of Congress declared
in the bill organizing the said Territories to leave the
people free TO regulate their domestic institutions
in their own way subject only to the Constitution OF
eral and Territorial Governments should be extended
to redress these ourages and vindcate tie rights of
the people thereof"

County Committees be a Committee to correspond

mittee exists the delegates in this Convention name

On motion Of Mr.. Dayton of New. York it was
Resolrsd, That the rejection Of resolution by the
House of Representatives Dquiring whether Philip A.
Herbert was justified in dischargng revolver with
fatal aim at Thomas Heating, defenseess domestic,
evinetd laxity of sentiment and immunity for crime
calculated TO excite apprebensops that Law and Just

our only guarantee Of personal security and public
order.
On motion Of Mr. Riddle of New York, it was
Resolred That the wanton and rufianly assault OF
Albert Rust Member Congress from Arkansas, upon
Horace Greeley, Editor of The NEw- YORK TRIBUNE,
evinced esign of the Slavery e1tensionsts s,nce
confirmed by the more brutal outrage in the senate
Chamber upon Charles Sumner to suppress the hoerty
of the press and the freedom of debate and that these
kindred violations of law demand united and hrm
determination by freemen to uphold and defead tdl-
tors and Representatives in the discharge OF their
duties-peaceably if we can-foreiby II we must.
