Resolsed, That the times imperatiyely damand
the re organization of parties, and regulating
u! previous party attachments, names and pre-
objections, We unite ourselves together in de-
tence Of the liberty and Constitution of the
country, and will hereafter co operate as the
1etpt6tseaa party, pledged TO the accomplish
ment Of the following purposes: To bring he

Aansas to the position Of Tree Territories: TINT

IN the States, aud not in Congress, the power to
iegts'a1e LOT the e1tradition Of tueitives from
labor, TO REPEAL AND ENTIRELY ABaooA1E TUE
FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW; to restrict slavery to those
states in which it exists; TO PROHIBIT TIE Ap-
MISSION or AMI MORE SLAVE STATES INTO TIE
ijs1oS; to abolish slavery in the District Of Co
lunbla; to exclude slavery from all the Terri.
torres over which the general Government has
exclusive jurisdiction; and to arrest the &C.
qnirement OF any more Territories unless the
practice Of slarery therein forever shall hare
been prohibited. '-''

which is as follows:

not at the meeting and never heard Of it until.
