the pOllcy oil w aShlnStOn, oil Je1icr-
son, of Madison, of Jackson, of IIar-
rison, Of Taylor, of Fillmore, of Scott,
of Webster and of Clay-is the only
sure way to restore prosperity to our
manufacturing interests, and thereby
to benefit also our agricultural inter-
ests, and thus to give good wages and
full days works to all who earn their
living by honest manual labor.
! RESOLVED That we hope the people
of Pennsylvania can not again be
mislcd by any such cry as ''Polk and
the Tariff of 49," inasmuch as James
Buchanan was the right hand man of
James X. Polk in the treachery by
which this nation was robbed of her
beneficent Tariff. The Buchanan party
is pledged, by its Platform and by all
its past acts as party, against the
Protective, and in favor of the Free
Trade, policy.
RESOLVED That all the persistent
efforts Of the Pierce Buchanan party
from the time it violated the Missouri
Compromise unto this day-to force
the wrong and the curse Of Slavery
upon Kansas, against the repeatedly
expressed and almost unanimous will
of her people, proves that the party is
controlled by men who care more for
the propagation of Slavery than for
the Constitution or the Union, right
or justice.
RESOLVED That the Liberty-loving
citizens of Union county hail with joy
the result of the recent Election in
Kansas. wha" ho- intolI;sont people,
by Ten Thousand majority, burst the
shackles which had been so skillfully
forged TO fetter them, and hurled def
ance in the teeth Of an insolent dig
archy and a false Executive. That we
recognize in the mass of the people of
Kansas, worthy Sons of the Sircs of
'76. That they have a right to imme-
diate admission into the Union having
more voters than the average vote of
the Slave States of Delaware and Flo
rida. And that we pledge ourselves
from this time henceforth to aid in
giving Freedom to Kansas as an equal
State, with just as much land as if she
had accepted the English bribe or
been coerced by the Buchanan threat
Of "Pro-Slavery or No-Admission."
RESOLVED, That while we rejoice
in this escape of Kansas, we express
our regret that the Missouri Border
Ruflians who stuffed the ballot boxes
of Kansas Territory at Kickapoo,
Oxford, and niece county, last year,
were numerous enough at their own
homes, to defeat Francis p. Blair and /.
the other Free Soil candidates for /
Congress in that State. Yet we trust
that light is breaking in Missouri, and .
that in 1860 she may be found in the
victorious party pledged to Free La
Dor.
RESOLVED, That we endorse the
of John NJ. Read for
Judge Of the Supreme Court, and VIM.
Il. Frazer for Canal Commissioner,
(trusting that the last named Office
will be abolished by the next Legis-
lature } and that we call upon all
citizens who are opposed to the Ma
tional Administration, to vote for
these gentlemen, as an expression of
the disapprobation Of Pennsylvania
against Free Trade and Slavery Ex-
RESOLVED, That the votes of Hon.
Simon Cameron, our Senator in Con-
gress, and Of Hon. John G.. kunkel,
our Representative, against those
leading measures of the so-called De-
meet our hearty approval,
and accord with the policy of our
State in past days.
RESOLVED, That the nominations
this day made, conceding the offices
to the different portions of the county,
We submit to the favor of the people,
believing the gentlemen selected to
De capable and worthy men, of the
right stripe" throughout, and that
We pledge to them our hearty support.
