RrprBIICAS CONVENTIONAL convention of
dolpcates representing the city of Philadelphia
and many of the counties of this Common
wealth, assembled at Herr's Hotel, Harrisburg
On Monday the 22d ult.
The Convention was organized by appoint
;Or JOHN ADAMS FISHER, ESQ.,, of Dauphin
coTnty, as Chairman, and GEORGE S. KING,
Esq, of Cambria county, as Secretary
After such organization, and full and free
interchange of opinions among the delegates,
the following preamble and resolutions were
introduced, read, fully discussed, adopt
ID and ordered to be published
WHEREAS 1t is desirable that all those op-
nosed to the misrue of the National Admins
ttrston. and especially to its atrocious attempt
to force Slavery upon Kansas against the will
of the people, should unite at the ensuing elec-
ton on the State and County tickets, without
regard to the mode or form of effecting said
object therefore
Resolred, That the State Committee, of
which Lemuel Todd, Esq, is Chairman, be re-
ouested to call Convention of all those will
linz to unite to effect the above object, to be
held at Harrisburg on some day not earlier
than the first of July next
Resolred, That such call should distinctly
state that in thus inviting, no individual or
party is expected to sacrifice any principle,
nor to approve of any principle of those with
whom he acts, saring only earnest and practi-
cathosflity to political despotism and the erten-
acn Of human slarery over the free territories
Of this Republic.
