aud N. J. llawIcy, we're appointed
committee to report resolutions; aud tn,
following we're adopted:
Res. ]. We adhere faithfully to tn,
Republican platform, ~ adopted ut Phil
adeIphia, June Goth, 1856, Us founded
on the u. s. Constitution aud laws since
enacted.
Res. 2. We denounce tha. portion
Of the Democratic platform adopted y,
Cincinnati, relsting to slavery aud its ex.
tension-tor its doub::e reading and its
studied ambiguity to defraud aud deceive
the honest and coniding people. Dem
ocrats, Doctors, and Judges, disagree IS
to its interpretations.
Res. 3. We believe slavery, a local
institution 10 this Government. wrong in
practice and principle, and so considered
by nine-tcuths Of all Ch,istendom, aud
should enjoy no tolcrstion farther than is
clearly expressed for it by the U. S.
Constitution aud laws, that states alone
are permitted to establish and sustain it,
and Congress alone to make all needful
rules and regulations for the territories,
us per the L ). Constitution.
Res. 4. We believe squatter sovc.
reignty cheat, as shown by the course
pursued BY the party making it in Kan.
sas to their free state br -thren-by the
Lecompton constitution--by the rejection
Of Kansas with the Wyandotte constitu.
tion--as also by the veto Of the presi-
dents tool, called Gov. Of Kansas, Of the
bill Of the Kansas Legislature abolshing
slavery therein, as also the new Demo.
cratic doctrine that the U. s. consti,u.
lion carries slavery into all the territory
Of this Government aud Congress j,
Oou' to keep it there.
Res. 5. We believe, the treasonsblc
recently made by Congress
that il Republican speaker of the
House OF Representatives should be
elected he should not be permitted to
take his seat; and, also, If u Republican
President should be consti' utiunall,
elected, they would not permit hi.
inauguration, show conclusively that rule
'r ruin, is their aim, and therefore
lnsafe, aud wholly unworthy Of the suf.
rage aud support Of the American
'eople. whose principles are ready sub.
mission 70 the majority.
Res. 6. We believe the Wholesale
charge by the Democratic pspers. north.
:outh. cast and west, that the Rcpubli.
"a" part1 Was party to, and ch.rv-sbIe
= It'll John Browns raid, ut Harper's
Ferry, il false aud without the lea.,
shadow Of foundation, and the time spen,
BY the Democratic Senate and their com
nittcc in secret conclave, violating the
lights Of citizens to effect the shove
charge, and tightening the peoples
treasury (Which they have bankrupted)
% the tune OF sloO, 900, wont begin to
'ustain i.
Res. We learn al! political parties
'dhercd to the fundamental principles
'nd laws OF this government on the sub
Get OF slavery till 1852, and had agreed
'evcr more to agitate it. in or out OF i
congress. The Democratic party have
every department Of govern
ent since-;he Legislative, ex cutive
md jud'c'al-and are the projectors un..
xecu'ors Of every pro slavery net, siuce
he above date, and We think Ill will
gree with w, that their infringement, on
ur liberties. freedom Of speech, and cor.
upton ana extravaeant expenditures
ave been just cause Of alarm, aud they
'ehly merit tickets, as high priya,es.
Res. .. Ia the Compendium Of the
impending Crisis, by H II. Helper, there
re many facts and figures on the eff. ct If
Atrica" slavery in this government, and
's think deserve the careful attention
I all The tables showing the blight
nd unproduct'veness, decentralization
nd thurman effects OF slavery, are taken
rom the census report Of our govern.
aent in ls5O-we have compared many
nd found them correct; and the senti
tents expressed on the above subject
re from Washington, Franklin, J:iT,r.
o"' aud very many persons Of marked
'eflt ana distinction: no less entitled to
red't thar the figures and table; aud the
hort OF Clark, Of Missouri, and other
'en'"crat'c members Of Congress, to pro.
'r'be Republican members, for certify {

nth is what they fear, aud would sup.

Res. Q. We charge upon the Admin

ancy, III the African slave trade, and
Their efforts, or the ef. .
rts Of the Democratic party, to legally
v've the trade and establish slavery in .
.caragua, and their sympathy for Capt. !
slker also, lead US to suspect the latter. $
Res. 10. Believing as We do, the
peal Of the Missouri Compromise was . .
o.ation Of rights and good faith be. n
'een freedom and slavery IN this gov
