The preamble and resolutions were adopted with
loud cheers.
Loud calls for " Dow" brought Mr. Augustus f.
Dow to the platform. lie stated that the honor they
had conferred upon him was the highest that could
have been given him. lie had rcjoiccd in this mark
of their lfdence but knowing that there danger
OF returning Lccompton man. h. had gladly offered
to forego the honor It would make certain the cleo
ton Of representative of Free Labor from this Dis
trict. He had accordingly made the o1eg TO Mr.
Briggs that they both withdraw, and LEI the Anti
should tight the baltic of human freedom In what
ever position he occupied. lloud cheers. a, some .
future Gay he would speak at greater length upOu the
subjects in which they all felt an interest.
Mr. Luman Sherwood next addressed the meeting. .
lie alluded FIRST tOihe responsibilities that rested upon
citizens 10 participate in tie political affairs OF the
country. lie denied the frequent assertion that there
was no honesty in politics. and pointed 10 the history
If our Government as furnishing noble examples of .
honesty and the proof Of the ennobing influences of
freedom in molding the character of our citizens.
Their duties were deeper than to hgrrah aud
vote for their candidates. They should discuss
and canvass the principles Of candidates. 1t
not whether Morgan, Parker, Burroughs
or Smith re'electej if principle wore not to be
subscfyed by the election. Tie speaker then exam
med the positions Of the different candidates Though
indorsng GcIrt Smith = OF honesty talent and
patriotism he get regarded him as erratic. lie re-
GREETED to see him opposed to Pablo Schools. He
thought that Of the eight millions OF dollars taxes IN
this city, four millions were spent Tor education III
cad OF one, ii would be cheaper for this city. The
faoricNi Free State rested upon ourPublic Schools,
and he therefore could not consent To support Dir. !
~. q. al pgifey If AZ AMI
selling the canals he also opposed AZ 10 the other
thee CANDIDATES they were all in favor Of the compile
ton of the canals, aud Of the public schools. There
were other questions upon which they did not agree.
Dir. Burroughs believed that the naturalilei citizen
should remain year in State before he could vote.
Upon that point they disagreed with Mr.. Burrows, as
violation of the spirit of our institutions Mr. Parker
had said that he stood on the platform Of Jefferson.
The Administration party believed that Congress had
power TO prevent Slavery from going into the Ter
rtores. LETTERS had drafted the ordinance of 49,
excluding Slavery from the territory north Of the Ohio.
Who then were the Jerari oman Dcmocrats-the Re-
publican party who believed in preventing the extern
sion of Slavery, Judge Parker and the Admins,ra-
ton party who did not believe in it The speaker
then exhibited the results Of Freedom and Slavery
upon the material progress Of the nation, and
tended that was Their policy TO throw the influence
Of this State in the scale Of Freedom. II conclusion
Mr.. Sherwood adyerted in complimentary terms 20
the .eli-sacriiciDg offer of Mr.. Dow.
