prefer that the principle of good hith, fair dealing, and
fraternal obligation, again and again reiterated by the
democracy of the city Of New York we rejoice to say
has 10y the decisions of the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States ceased to bc the mere principle of party
and has become the established principle of the govern
mcnt
Rssoyred That the democratic party devoted to the
growth and expansion of the conedeacy, and believing
that local best administered by those whom
they most affect halls with Joy the advent of the period
when OF the Territories Is entitled by the advance
of its population and 10 bc introduced into the
great motherhood of States and enter upon the of
self government and in the opinion of the democracy,
every Territory is thus entitled TO admission upon pre-
sentng to Congress constitution which shall be repub
can in FORM, and with without slavery, the peo
pie Of each Territory shall determine.
Rsotcd That the people of Kansas entitled to i'm
mediate admission into the Union upon their constitu
ton before Congress for the following reasons
Because the constitution is ''repubisan in form, and
thus fulfs the only condition to admission required by
the constitution Of the United States
Because IL framed by convention sanctioned by
Congress, and elected by majority of the people.
Because it adopted by majority Of the people I'm
the mode authorized by the convention, in whom, by
delegation of the people invested supreme authority
Because the mode thus authorized fairly and substan-
TALLY submitted to the popular will the only question
which really divide the people Of the Territory.
Because the allegation that large body of the people,
known the free State party supporters of another
vention, and in actual rebellion to the constituted
thotcs, did vote upon the constitution, and ii they
had voted would have shown majority of the people to
bc opposed to it, allegation under the circumstances
of the case, entitled TO consideration those who
fuse to to the polls have right to complain of the
result of election.
Because the constitution thus adopted being regular
upon the record Congress should seize the opportunity
of incorporating Kansas State under its provisions
thereby investing its people with sovereign power to
alter amend it at their pleasure securing to distract
ed Territory peace and quiet and driving from the halls
of Congress dangerous and useless agitation.
Because the industrial interests OF the country,
suffering extraordinary depression, imperously require
repose from the dangers OF sectional agitation and that
intestine divisions which threaten the peace of the com
federacy shall longer be permitted to depress enter
prise and TO cast their baleful influence upon the credit
and commerce of the people,
Because James Buchanan, the President Of the United
States recommends it, Elevated to position which en-
alos him most accurately to ascertain the exact truth
amid the conflicting statements coming from heated par
sans in that distant frontier OF the Union gifted with
rare sagacty and long experience oresce and appre
ciate the dangers which threaten us surrounded by
wise and able cabinet and animated by patriotism
which will question: he has advised Congress to
meet the existing crisis by admitting Kansas into the
Union with her present constitution Admirng his
courage and decision and fully impressed with the con
vction that James buchanan has mo other object OF
earthly ambition than to leave his country In peaceful
and prosperous condition. and to live in the respect and
confidence of his countrymen, request represent
atyes in Congress to follow his wise cosnsels, and we
pledge to him and to them undinching support.
