IL. That Kansas should, of right. be
Immediately admitted as State under the
Constitution recently formed and adopted
by her people, and accepted by the House
of Representatives.
II. That, while providing revenue for
the support Of the general government by
duties upon imports, sound policy requires
such an adjustment of these imports as to
encourage the development OF the indus
trial interests of the whole country and
we commend that policy of national ex-
changes, which secures to the working
men liberal wages, TO agriculture remune-
rating prices, TO mechanics and manutac-
turers an adequate reward for their skill,
labor, and enterprise, and to the nation
commercial prosperity and independence.
l3. That we protest against any sale or
alienation 10 others OF tie Public Lands
held BY actual settlers. and against any
view of the Free Homestead policy which
regards the settlers as paupers or suppl
ants for public bounty and we demand
The passage by Congress of the complete
aud sfactory Homestead measure which
has already passed the House.
ID That The Republican party is OPP
posed to any change in our Naturalization
Laws or any State legislation by which
the rights Of citizenship hitherto accorded
to immigrants from foreign lands shall be
abridged or impaired and in favor of
giving full and efficient protection TO the
| rights Of all classes Of citizens, whether ma
tive or naturaized, both at home and
abroad.
10. That appropriations by Congress
for River and Harbor Improvements of q
National character, required for the ac-
commodatlon and security of an existing
commerce, are authorized by the Consh-
tuition, and justified by the obligation of
Government to protect the lives and prop
erty of its citizens.
is. That a Railroad to the Pacific Ocean
is imperatively demanded by the interests
Of the whole country that the Federal
Government ought to render immediate
and efficient aid in its construction and
that, as preliminary thereto. daily Over
land Mail should be promptly established
IT Finally, having thus set forth our
distinctive principles and views, we invite
\ the cooperation of all citizens, however
differing on other questions, who substan-
TALLY agree with us in their affirmance and
support.
SUPPLEMENTARY RESOLUTION.
Resolved. That we deeply sympathize
with those men who have been driven
some Of them from their native States and
others from the State of their adoption
and are now exiled from their homes or
account of their opinions; and we hold
the Democratic party responsible for this
gross violation OF that clause of the Consti
tuition which declares that the citizens o.
each State shall be entitled to all the priv.
ileges and immunities of citizens in the sew
eral States.

suppositiou that the bond would OF course be

contained clause 1nauumitting the children,
which Curtis refused to sign. Why this refu-
sal, our readers n,ay judge for themselves. A

A Fugitive Slave attempts to XIII ono
OF his CnptorAs

The fugitive slave, Edgar Canton, who lett
this city TOR st. Louis On Monday morning, nc.
1companied by Deputy United states Marshal
Grafton. and three Or four men who were deeply
interested in his safe transfer from Illinois to
Missouri, made III attempt 10 kill one Of the
party that had him in charge. Dy sunle means
not generally known, he was furnished with q
razor in this c1ty-tise supposttion being that
the weapon was placed in his hands about the
time he wa, stepping on board the train. When
near rirdcn, he made m attempt to cut the
throat Of man named Eckfer, 4 resident Of THIS
city, WHO helped to arrest him on Thursday !;
hut he ouly succeeded in an1cting three rather
severe wounds upon Ecklers left urn and shoul-
der. lie was disurmed Immediately, and then
lie made handsome apology to Ecker, and
said lie did not intend to jurc him. 1t seems
that he designed to "get even" with jackson,
formerly Of this city, who also assisted in his
arrest; but the light was rather obscure in the
car, and he uistook his man. We are informed
that Eckler's wounds are not OF & dangerous
character.
The run1or Of tie town Is that the fugitive
was sold to Southern trader before his arrest
in this city. Tie trader il said to huve been
here during the examination; but we presume
very few know what his real business WIS. We
ure informed that when he learned positively
TINT Canton was living here, he advanced sutii-
cient money to Dickinson to enable hun to cap
ture his ralLer uncertain piece Of property-the
understanding being that tile amount advanced
should he deducted from 1hc bill Of sale. Such
is said to hare been the arrangement, and We
think the probabilities are that the story is not
ated.-tSps1nqfelI Journal.

WATCH THE PRIMARY MEET
ISGs.
L:adiue Democrats do not hesitate to ad-
nit that they lave no expectation Of carrying
the city election unless John Wentworth
should be the Republican nominee for Mayor.
Mr.. Gurnee pcrsistcntly refused the non1il'a-
ton from the Democratic party, until lie was
assured that Wentworth was almost certain to
bc his opponent, aud then l,o readily enough
accepted it. Lenders Of the Democracy have
co-opcrated zealously with Wentworth during
tic past week to eccure him the nomination.
On recent Sunday morning he accompanied
one Of them home from Mass Mt tie Catholic
church, and partook Of champaign dinner, be-
