sentatives here assembled, does this
day reaffirm its political creed in the
decisive language adopted by the ma

Resolved, That the course of James
Buchanan. IN his opposition to the adj
mission of Kansas to the Union, mark
ed as it.has beenby corruption, bribery
and falsehood, is, in the opinion of this
Convention, far more characteristic. OF
a despot than the chief executive of a
great Republic; and that the conduct
of his administration and its supporters
thus far, in connection with this op-
pressed territory, has not only exposed
them to the righteous Indignation OF
every pure minded patriot, but brought
open disgrace upon our free institu-
tons throughout the world. -

the. interests of the people they repre-
sent, reflected honor upon the State,

stituents; and they are hereby urged

and vote, every unconstitutional claim
or encroachment of the, Slave power,
and to do. their utmost u,aconapronais-
isgly and speedily, TO. install en- the
Union, under Free Constitution, the
noble and patriotic people Of Kansas.
We believe them as deservedly entitled
to the privileges of the Union, as were
the n-of re, and may God speed
them in their manly and patriotic strug-
gle for the right
Resolred, That in view of the late
annexation of the Old World to the
New, it is high time that our Govern
ment adopt such measures as will bring
into nearer relations, the people of the
Pacific slope with their brethren of the
East, and with this in view, the men,
bers Of this Convention do. hereby en-
dorce the resolutions of our State Leg
islature of January 3Oth, by which,<it
was declared to be the dutysof the
Government of the United States to
construct a line of Railroad to the Pa
cifc, and on the retite therein indicated,
at the earliest practicable. period.
HzS6zced, That the Administration OF
our State affairs during the last four
years, has in our. opinion, been eminent
ly honest, and promotive of the happi-
ness of the people, conservative. of the
interests of the Republican party, best
encouraging to the friends of freedom,
and highly creditable to the wisdom, in
tegrity and patriotism of Z those into
whose hands the.people have seen fit to
