Mr. Noble learn from friend that they can't

Gerritt Smith urged in several speeches that the time
had when il necessary to physical force To

Gov Reeder replied that be was not in favor Of waiting
because they had received wrongs enough but thought
il right to wait until they could strike effective blow
II remained with him TO use the power Of the govern
ment he would have waited thus long but the oppres
before this would have been into heaps
dead the fields Of Missouri But he willing
wait till tomorrow, two to-morrows. When the
trail of the enemy against whom he bad deadly hate

willing to wait until they had the power be would thus

their Intentions by marching armed into the Terrific
ry The dragons could go In voters or to cultivate
the SOIL and strike when the right time arrived When
the right time came strike he wanted South have
the FIRST notice of the blow in the blow ITSELF The free
State party take the ground that they will exhaust all
peaceful remedies and that DONE they win resist to the
DEATH and pile the soil the constitution longer protects
with heaps OF their oppressors. #E
Gerritt Smith thought If this chain OF reasoning was

and pass resolutions raise 100000 month. The
South would be silly they did know this money
to be raised for the purpose Of doing something with IT.
The convention then agreed TO plan for efficient
gasizaon and the Daily Advertiser Of this city hopes
that brisk and eectual concert of movement through
all the northern and States may result from
this meeting
According Gov Reeder the policy adopted is for this
organization Uait until strike c6eeire boV y until
probably organization completed in all the northwestern
and western States The resolutions therefore OF
preliminary character.
Such are the purposes ayowed by A. H. Reeder, for
which subscriptions be solicited all the north
States such the purposes to which the money of
the merchants Of Boston TO be applied Win such
proceedings open the eyes Of thousands the character

step towards rebellion and anarchy Expose II fully be-
fore the people These the original resolutions Of the
Big Springs convention, and have another nHa-
