1t may be in the power of the Post to show
that the Sound tolls are moderate in amount.

We have the frat days proceedings Of the democratic

Statesman Nothing done iu that body on the 6rst
day beyond the adoption OF the following admirable
lutions:
al. Resored That slavery (beng the creature OF posi-
tive law exist without i) domestic institution
aud that Congress has neither the power egae II into
any Territory State, TO exclude It tborerom, but to
leave the people thereof perfectly free form and regulate
their domestic institutions In their own way, subject only
the constitution Of the United States. a..
a. Rcoiced That the right of the people Of each par
cular State and Territory establish their constitution

waged the Of the revoluona right lying at the
very foundation Of all free Institutions, recognised in the
Declaration o. independence and established by the copsttu-
ton o the United States and hereby endorse and
firm this disputed principle.
Resorcd That the introduction OF moral and religious
questions into the political controversies and OF the day
wide departure from the ancient principles and sound
policy Of the country with the interests OF
people, corruptng alike moras religion and politics. and
Of a most pcrnicous and dangerous tendency

principle freedom Of conscience, without distinction reig
faith, the political equality Of all whom the Law recog-
nises American citizens without reference the accident
~ BIRTH relies for upon open discussion and the

the know nothing organization called inoleran in its
warfare upon the freedom Of religious belief and the sacred
rights Of conscience unjusy exclusive In ita
OF birth and blood ccrup'ng denoraizng in m oath and
oonceaent and anti republican and dangerous ts secret
