union so often u:ade by Democratic
members, without rcbukc, and with up.
plause from their political associates; ana
we denounce those threats OF d'sunion'
in case of IA popular overthrow OF thcir
ascendency as denying the vital pr'nci-
pies of free government, and as ah
avowal of contemplated reason, when IL
is the imperative duty of an indignant
People sternly to rebuke and forever 81
lence.
/ That the maintenance inviolate
of the Rights of the States, and espec,,
ially the right of each State to order ana
and control its own domestic institutions
according to it's own judgment exclusive
", is essential to that balance OF power
on which the perfection ahd euduracce OF
our political fabric depends and We dc,
nounce the lawless invasion by armed
force of the soil Of any State or Terrific
ry, no matter under what pretext, as
among the gravest of crimes.
/ s. That the present Democratic Ad-
ministration has far exceeded our worst
apprehenslons, in Its measureless subscr-
! yiepcy to the exactions of a sectional IN
terest, as especially evinccd in its dcsper'
ote exertions to force the infamous Lee
compton Constitution upon the protesting
people of Kansas in constituting the per-
sonul relation of master and servant to
involve an unqualified property in per
son :: in its attempted enforcement, every
where, on land and sea, through the IN
PREVENTION of Congress aud the Federal
/ Courts, of the extreme pretensions OF
purely local interest; and in its general
and unvarying abuse of the power entrus-
ted to it by confding people. =,
! 6. That the people justly view with
alarm the reckless extravaganza when
pervades every department of the Federal
/ Government that return to rigid econ
omy and accountability is indispensable
to arrest the systematic pluuder OF the
public treasury by favored part'sans !;
while the recent startling developments
Of frauds and corruptions Of the Federal
Mctropolis, show that an entire change
of administration is imperatlvely dcman-
ded.
:, That the new dogma that the Con,
stitution. of its own force, carries slavery
into any or all of the Territories OF Uni
ted States. is dangerous political here
sv. at variance with the explicit proyls'
ions of that instrument itself, with CO
temporancous exposition. and with ieg's'
lative and judicial precedent; Is revolu-
tionary in its tendency, and subverslve OF
the peace and harmony ofthe country. -.
s. That the normal condition Of all!
the territory of the United Statee is that
of freedom: That as our Republican
fathers, when they had abolished slavery
in all our national territory, ordained that
"no person should be deprived of life,
/ liberty, or property, without due process
af law. ;" it becomes our duty, by legisla
ton, whenever such legislation is neces
sary, to maintain this provision OF the
! Constitution against all att mpts to VIC
| late it; and we deny the authority o
! Congress, of Il territorial legislature, CT o
any individuals, to give legal existence
to Slavery in any Territory Of the unite'
States.
, 9. That We brand the recent reopen
ing of the African Slave Trade, under tn
co:er of our National Flag, aided by PEI
versions of judicial power, as cTim
against Humanity and burning sham
to our Country and Age (; aud we call nl
on Congress to take prompt and eii'c'en
measures for the total ana final surpre'
sion of that execrablc traffic.
10 That in the recent vetocs, /
their Federal Governors, of the acts
the acts of the Legislatures of kansi
and Nebraska, prohibiting Slavery
those Territories, we find a practIcle lin
! tration of the boosted Democratic prime
nle of non intervention aud Popular SO
ereient, embodied in the Kansas -N,bra
ka bill aud a demonstration OF the dcce
ton and fraud involved therein.
IL. That Kansas should. of right,
be admittcc as a State under the Cons,
tuition recently formed and adopted |
her people, and accepted ly the llou
re of Representatives.
Of Il. That, while providing revcn
N for the support Of the general COVER
III meut bp duties upon imports, sound 20
he cy requires such an adjustment Of the
y imports as to encourage the devcopmc
to of the industrial interests of the wht
Se country and we commend that policy
TX of national exchanges, which secure
es the working man liberal wages, to ag
C, culture remunerating prices, to mech;
lis les aud manufacturers an adequate
ey ward for their skill, labor, aud cntcpri
is and to the nation commercial prosper
and independence
Is. That VIC protest aCains, any $
It or alienation to others of the Public al
I'D held by actual settlers, and against !
al view of the Free Homestead policy VIII
he regards the settlers as paupcrs Or SUPP
nd cauts for public bounty and VIC den'a
m the passage by Congress Of the compl
ice and satisfactory Homestead meas
which has slready passed the House.
II. That the National Republican |
ty is opposed to auy change in our \
uralzation laws, or any State legislat
49,. by which the rights of citizenship hi
'n' erto accorded to imm grants from fore
~ lands shall be abridged or impaired
w. in favor Of giving a full and efficient !
49, lection to the rights of all classes Of {
~, zcns, whether native or naturalized,b
~, at home and abroad.
toa 81 That appropriations by Cong
~ for River aud Harbor improvements
;( National character, required for the
~. commodaticn and security of an exist
Wy commerce, are authorized by the Con
