miuistration has far exceeded our worst ap-
prehensions in its measnreless subserviency
to the exactions Of sentionai interest, as is
especially evident in its desperate exertions
to force the infamous Lecompton constitu-
ton upon the protesting people of Kansas
in constituting the personal relation between
master and servant to involve an enquallh-
ed property in persons in its attempted
enforcement everywhere, on land and sea.
through the Intervention Of Congress and
the Federal Courts, of the extreme preten.
tensions of a purely local interest, and IN
its general and unyarying abuse OF the pow.
er intrusted to il by a conhding people.
Ssxih-That the people justly view with
alarm the reckless extrayagance which per.
yades every department OF the Federal Gov.
eminent. that return to rigid economy and
accountability is indispensable to arrest the
system Of plumber Of the public treasury BY
favored partizans; while the recent start
ling developments Of fraud and corruption at
the Federal Metropolis show that an entire
change Of Administration imperstisr'y de.
manded.
sspeaM That the new dogma that the
Constitution of its own force carries Slave.
nv into any %. all Territories OF the United
States is a dangerous pnlitical heresy, at va.
rance with the explicit provisions Of that
instrument ITSELF with contemporaneous ex.
position. and with Legislative and judicial
, precedent, is revolutionary in its tendency,
: and subversiye Of the peace and harmony OF
/ the country,
! Eighfh-1hat the normal condition OF all
! the territory of the United States 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 proper.
! " without due process Of law, it becomes
, our duty, by legislation whenever such leg
islation j. necessary, 70 maintain this prov,-
sion of the Constitution against all attempt
!. to violate il, and we deny the authority Of
I Congress, Of a Territorial Legislature or Of
I any individuals, to give legal existence to
E Slavery in any Territory Of the United
E States.
RI Ninfh-That we brand the reopening Of
! the African Slave trade, under the cover "
e our national flag. aided by peryersions Of
: judicial power. as crime against humanity,
e a burning shame 10 our country AMI age. aud
) we call upon Congress 20 take prompt and
Z efficient measures for the total and final sup.
: preston Of that exccrable traffic.
Isntt-That in the recent yeioes by their
Federal Governors Of the acts Of the Legs
I latures OF Kansas aud Nebraska, prohibiting
! Slavery in those Territories. we find prac.
E tical illustration of the boosted Democratic
' principle Of non.intersentinr and Popular
Sovereignty. embodied 10 the Kansas and
