Resolrsd, That We view with deep con
cern the present crisis of affairs. Some
of the most valuable and dearest right ol
our citizens, that have been upheld and
supported by the most eminent and patri
otic sagcs Of this country ever since the
Declaration Of our Independence, have
been destroyed by the highest judicial
tribunal of our country, and the landmarks
have been prostrated.
Resoired, That we feel alarmed at the
present situation Of affairs in Kansas, not.
withstanding the mauy promises and pre-.
dictions Of the friends of Mr.. Buchanan,
before the last election. 1t appears, tha.
by the course pursued by the Administra.
tion, every obstacle is thrown in the way
Of the free State men, and every facility
given to the pro.slavery party, aud that a
State Constitution will be formed in q
short time with slavery attached to it.
Resolred, That We believe it to be the
duty of all lovers of freedom, let them be-
long to whatever political party they may:
to unite in one solid column, and vote for
men for Office who are opposed to the
misrule of the present Administration Of
the U. S. Government, and consequently
to vote against VIM. +. Packer for Cover
nor of this State, and all others who may
be placed on the same ticket with him.
Resolced, That We approve Of the pro-
ceedings of the American Republican
State Convention, assembled at Harris.
burg on the 25th of March last, as the
most efficient mode to unite and harmo.
rize all the elements Of the great National
Wing Party, together with all others op-
posed to the extension of slavery into free
territory, into one solid phalanx against
the principles of the present National Ad-
ministration, and therefore recommend
union and harmony in the support of the
candidates nominated by said Convention.
Resolred, That we will most cordially
support the State ticket, formed at Harris.
burg en- the 25th day of March last, at
the head of which stands the name of
