State to order and consfel ~ own domestic IN
Etitrtions according 10 Its own judgment exclu-
sively, 10 essential to that balance OF powers on
which the perfection and endurance OF our po
liticsl fabric depends; and We denounce the law
less invasion by armed force OF the soil OF sny
State or Territory, no matter under what prc'ext
~ among the gravest OF crimes
5. That the present Democratic Adm'pistra-
ton has for exceeded our worst apprehens,ohs
In its measureless subserviency TO the exactions
Of a sectional interest, as especially evinced IN
its desperate exertions to force the infamous
Lecompton Constitution upon the protesting
people of Kansas; constructing the personal
relation between master and servant to Involve
ali unqualified property in persons; IN its AZ
tempted enforcement everywhere, on Iahd ana
SEES, through the Intervention OF Ionsress anu
Of the Federal Courts of the extreme pfetensl"ns
Of a purely loo interest; and In its general ana
unyarying abuse OF the power entrusted to u ny
a ccn:iding people.
6. That the people justly view with alarm the
reckless extravaganza which pervAdes every
department of the Federal Government; thar
return TO rigid economy and accountability Is
indispensable to arrest the systematic p'under
of the public treasury Ivy favored Pa'tisans;
while the recent startling Developments VI
frauds and corruptions at the Federal metropo'
lis, show that an entire change Of administration
IL imperatiyely demanded.
Z. That the new dogma that the Constitute y:
of lis own force, carries slavery into any or all
Of the Territories Of the United States. is dan
gerOus political heresy, at variance with the
explicit provisions oftha. instrument itse.t with
cotemporaneops exposition, and with legislative
and judicial precedent; 10 revolutionary IN III
tendency, and sutvcrsive of the peace and har'
mony of the country.
8. That the normal condition Of all the terri
tory Of the United States s that OF freedom: mat
as our Republican fathers, when they had aboi-
ished slavery in all our national territory, or.
.t.s.. La lnV
life, liberty. or property, without due process OF
law" 1t becomes our duty, by Legislation, When
ever such legislation il necessary, to maintain
this provision Of the Constitution against all
attempts to violate it; and We deny the authority
of Congress- Of territorial legislature, or of any
individuals to give legal existence to slavery IN
any Territory Of the United States.
8. That We brand the recent reopentng OF the
African slave trade, under the cover OF our ma
tional nag aided by perversions ofjudiciaI pow
er, as a crime against humanity and a burning
shame to our country and age; and We call upon
Congress to take prompt and efficient measures
for the total and final suppression OF that exc
cradle traffic.
TO- That in the recent yetoes, by their Federal
Governors, of the acts Of the Legislatures OF
Kansas and Nebraska, prohibiting Slavery IN
those Territories we find practical Illustration
of the boosted Democratic principle of Non.ln-
tervention and Popular Sovereignty embodied in
the Kansas. Nebraska bill, and q demonstration
of the deception and fraud involved therein,
II. That X .nsas Should, Of right, be immedi-
ately admitted as a State under the Constitu.
ton recently formed and adopted by her people,
and accepted by The House of Representative.
IL. That, while providing revenue for the sup
port Of the general government BY duties upon
imports, sound policy requires such an adjust.
ment Of these imports Is to encourage the deve.
opmcnt OF the industrial interests Of the whole
country; and we commend that policy of nation.
al exchanges. which secures to the working me n
liberal wages to agriculture remunerating prices,
to mechanics and manufactures an adequate re.
ward for their skill, labor and enterprise, and
to the n:tion commercial prosperity and indie
pendencc.
Is. That We protest against any sale or aisna-
ton to others Of the Public Lands held by ac..,
settlers, and against arr view Of the ..ree Home
stead po'"" which Regards the settlers as pam
.ers suppliants for public bounty; and we de-
mand the passage ~ Congress of the complete
and satisfactory Homestead mt asure which has
already passed the House.
II. That the Republican party il opposed 10
any change in our Naturalization Laws or any
State legislation by which the rights Of citizen
ship hitherto accorded to emigrants from foreig 81
lands shall be abridged or impaired: and in favo
OF giving full aud efficient protection to tn
rights OF all classes ofcitizens, whether native o
naturalzed, both at home and abroad.
Is. That appropriations by Congress for Rive
! anu Oh y NatlOnal cNafAt
ter. required for the accommodation and re u
| ity Of an existing commerce, are authorized b
the Constitution. and justified by the obiigatio
| OF Government to project the lives aud propert
Of its citizens.
Ii. That Railroad to the Pacific Ocean i
.mperatiseiy demanded by the Interests OF tn
! whole country, that the Federal Govcrnmcn
! ought to render immediate and efficient aid i
its construction; and that, rs preliminary there
to. daily Overland Mail should be prompt.
established.
II. Finally. having thus set forth our distinct
I've principle and views, we invite the tO.opsra
tien of all citizens however differing on othe
questions, who substantially agree with US il
their onirmaacc and support.
Resolred That We deeply sympathze with
those men who have been driven, some from
heir native States and others from the States OF
their adoption. and are now cxiled from the ia
homes on account OF their opinions; and We
hold the Democratic party responhle for this
gross violation Of that clause Of the Constitution
which declares that the citizens Of each State
shall be entitled to all the privileges and inmun,
tiles of citizens in the ST, rra States.
