the following platform Of principles: 5S:s.
=. First, We: entirely repudiate and con-
denim thcacoursc Of International Admins
tration, in regard to the admission Of
Kansas into the Union; as a treacherous
abandonment Of true Popular Sovereignty,
sandya base surrender of.freemcns rights,
to the slave aristocracy Of the South. .f:...
J. Second, We. declare ourselves in favor
Of "free soil for free men, and reject all
compromise with the South, and their
bogus democratic allies; which requires
us to surrender Territory now free, to the
blight and usurpation* Of. Slavery *5s9
There, We are in favor of the immcdi
ate admission Of Kansas as State, 50
soon 90 as IS !. she shall make application to
Congress Go g with a Republican. Constitution,
Y, without II regard to her population; believing
as We DO, that if she nc now applies with a
Constitution excluding slavery, she has
the same rights as she had under the.
Lecompton fraud r s5. {. : Sa5.,. I'D. zt:0l

bogus Governor, and political legislative.
demaggouges; who first secured power ~
the most palpable and outrageous fraud;

sentiment, to elect a Lecompton Senator,
to succeed General Shields. Il ss.i %zalgttll
