Mr. Edwards, 6 90 90
On the second ballot the names Of
Mcssrs Cattcll, Wheeler, Baldwin, Rod
man and Edwards were withdrawn; and
on the last ballot all but three names were
Withdrawn. #....
On motion, the nomination Of MIR.
Favillc, was confirmed BY unanimous
vote.
The Convention then took recess IN
til clock p n.
7o,clock, p. NJ.
The convention again assembled, Col.
Saunders in the Chair.
On motion it was resolved to contin-
ne the present State Central Committee
the present year.
United in . common resolve to main-
tain Right against Wrong and believing
in the determination Of virtuous and
intelligent people, to sustain justice We
declare.
l. That Governments are instituted
among men to secure the inalieuable right
Of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit Of
Happiness.
z. That the mission of the Repub
lican party, is to maintain the Liberties
of the people, the Sovereignty Of Of the
States, and the Perpetuity Of the 1!!...ion.
3. That under the Constitution, and
by right, Freedom alone is National.
4. That the FEDERAL Government be-
ing one Of Finite. powers derived wholly
from tae Constitution, its agents should
cop:.:.rue those powers strictly, and never
exercise doubtful authority--always In
expedient and dangerous.
! 5. That if this plain Jetfersonian and
, and carly policy was carried cut, the
Federal Government would relieve itself
of all responsibility for the existence Of
. Slavery, which Republicanism insists it
[. should, and means it shall do, and that
regarding Slavery in the State as local
!. institution, beyond our reach, and above
!, our authority, but recognizing it as OF
J, vital concern to every citizen, in its rela-
!. ton to the Nation, we still oppose its
spread and demand that oil national Ter
I. ritory shaH be free.
, 6. That the Repeal of the Missouri
3 Compromise, and the refusal Of the Slave
Power to abide by the principle on which
= that repeal was professedly based, make
the National Dominion the battle ground
r, between Freedom and Slavery, and while
Republicans stand on a national basis,
l. and will ever manifest and maintain
national spirit they will shrink from N
n conflict, and shirk no responsibility OF
=, this issue
r 7. That the Slave Power, the presen
National Administration and itsadherent
having violated this policy, and the prin
ciples on which it is based, by disre
I gard of law and its own professions, b,
} the invasion Of the state and persona
r rights, and by breaking solemn covcn' is
n has forced upon the country the Issue
whether Freedom shall be limited to tn
IA Free States, or slavery to the Slav
States, and made that issue aborbne an
permanent.
/. Rendered That the recent opinion @
the Supreme Court of the IT, States, i
r, the bred Scott case, is the last and mos
alarming of those bold innovations upo
{ the rights of the Free States, which hav
3 marked the Administration of the Coy
ernment for years past, as sectional an
disaloyal to the spirit of our Free Inst
K tutions. We regard it as virtually revt
Il lutionizing the judicial action Of the Gro,
eminent, if tolerated; by giving to 81:
3D. very q National instead of Loo;
character opening Free States and Ere
W Territory for its diffusion; reducing I
Is, the condition Of chattles, those who q,
las recognized by the Constitution as men
los bclying the sentiments Of the Declaratio
Of Independence and of casting reproac
upon the actions Of thos- who, amid to
and peril, laid deep the foundations
the Union.
s Rcsolred, That the National Admir-
1T, istration has brought reproach upon itse
and the country, by so long tolerating II
ID; , acmoralizln. ana Heaven ae.ying pra
tees of Brig CHAM Young and M: follow
ers in Utah. The embarrassment exp,
'y- rienced by the present Administration
reaching and correcting the evil,
mainly attributable to the doctrine en-
10 bodied in the Kansas Nebraska Bill; an
the retention of U. s. Soldiery in ka
, S sas to overawe unofending men, instea
Of sending them to Utah, where the a,
the thority Of the General Government
ent brazenly defed, is humiliating eviden,
be Of the pervcrsion of the powers Of Il
to National Government
It'll Resoived, That We invite the afiliatis
and cooperation of freemcn of all partie

Rcsolued, That we congratulate Il
Of people Of Iowa, upon the adoption of d

ion most of all in view of the fact that it e
