on the 18th day Of July, 1854 and also the prin.
ciPles promulgated by the resolutions of the Re-
publican National Convention held at Philadelphia,
on the 18th day of June, 1856; and that in the
maintenance of these principles is to be found a
sure guaranty for the preservation of the liberties
of the people, the reserved rights of the States,
and the integrity Of the Federal Union.

erosion of the slave power upon the rights of free
labor, and the true principles of the Constitution
as exhibited in the att ociOus doctrines of the Bred
Scott decision-in the arrogant demand for tho re-
opening of the African slave trade-and in the
clamor for the enactment, by Congress, of slave
code tor the Territories, force upon u.s. in common
with the people of the Free States the necessity of
renewed, united, and unremitting efforts in behalf
OF Freedom, Free Labor, and Free Soil
ReS0lUed, That the corruption and extrayapanc
OF the present National Administration as eyinced
in the bribery of Members of Congress to vote TO-
the LeeomPton Constitution, and to betray the
people, as shown in the contracts for the army and
navy, and in the Willetts Point and Fort Snellino
frauds and as proven by bankrupt treasury de-
mand at the hands Of the people change Of rulers

whether native or adopted, from whom we exact al.

united condemnation ~ W
ResoIved, That the intolerant aud proseriptive
spirit OF sham Democracy, which in some OF the
so called Democratic States, makes zroxertz in
stead of manhood the basis of suffrage and yyhicb
in the leading Democratic State of South Carolina

Resolved, That we cordially approve of and an
dorse the course Of Senators and
