Mercer s. b. Ransom of Hudson, b. b. Edsall Of

of Burlington, was appointed to prepare an address
and resolutions.
Col. HOWARD Of Rhode Island was introduced and
made acceptable speech, principally appetaning to
the late election in that State and TO the rapidly grow
ing strength Of the Republican sentiment there.
A letter from Schuyler Coliax Of Indiana was then
read and applauded.
The SECRETARY then read the Address presented by
the Committee. This address naraes briefly the his
tory Of the acts and refers to the influence which has
crowded this sue upon the country and refers to the
Outrages in Kansas.
In every conflict Slavery has succeeded in diverting
the policy of the Government farther and still farther
from that Of it's framers. SO constantly have the
Slavery-extensionists triumphedso constantly have
the defenders Of Freedom and the principles of the
Constitution yielded TO the threats Of the former that
politicians who seek to DO always Oh the strong side
have Of late years adopted 1t as an axiom that poti-
ca asprant in order TO be successful oice-seeker,
must be on the side of Slavery AT the approaching
Presidential election these demagogues fondly hope
that the object for which they have raised the tempest
will be attained. Having forced the Democratic party
and the American party in the South into the support
Of their schemes, they will so0n call on the American
people to crown them with success.
The advocates of the extension Of Slavery are as
fake to their own principles they to those of the
Constitution. They pretended TO be the peculiar
friends Ofthe sovereignty Of the people, when that pre-
tense would them as means OF excluding Free
dom and Freemen from Kansas Bat coon it
would answer that purpose no longer they abandoned
their own doctrine practically denied the right Of the
people of Kansas TO stabsh their own institutions and
make their own lawssustaned invaders from Missou-
II in enforcing their institutions upon the Territory by
Of violence and murder; and now the President
has issued bis proclamation declaring that he will sup
port with all the military force of the Government, if
necessary the tyranny established by the Missouri in
vaders over the people of Kansas. Thus the same
Chief Magistrate who in his Inaugural Address pro-
missed solenny not to reagtate the subject Of Slavery
and afterward pledged himself to the principle of pop
uar sovereignty in Kansas breaks his last pledge rs
wartony as he broke the first. These pledges were
brOk en- for the same for which they made,
namely, to subserve the interests of Slavery. Com
promises make, kept and broken according to the
same rule
The deeds Of the oppressors of Kansas are the best
illustrations ofthe spirit of these enemies of the Con-
stutiOD.
The duty of every American, who desires to
be true to the Constitution and fulfill his obi
cations under that sacred instrument, in this ex-
traOrdnary case, is plain. He has but to follow
the example Of the founders of the Union and to
adhere to their principles They who made the Con
sttuton understood Il best. The example Of Wash
ingon il still light to guide 1t will lead us only
in the old safe course and not into the marsh and me
into which modern demagogues have led the nation.
The judgment Of Madison and Marshall is still wiser
and better than the dangers and interested dogmas Of
Douglas or Sringfelow The citizens OF ansas can,
and they have right to call upon you, feow-citizens,
so to exercise the irresistible moral power of the elect
i've franchise as will protect them in the cnOyments OF
their unquestionable rights and defend them against
these ntOlerable wrongs. AT the approaching election
YOU must defend them, you will encourage their OPP
pressors and nstgate them to further deeds OF yo-
lence and tyranny.
The address was lengthy and ably written.
The Committee reported the subjOned resolutions:
