The basis on which this Convention is called,
according to the .ierms Of the notification, is,
Opposition,
~. To the epoliey of the present Admlnistra-
tion:
"2.E 70 Federal corruption aud usurpation;

~. To the new and dangerous political doc.
trine that the Constitution, Of its own force,
carries slavery into all the Territories Of the
United States;

The hEst ground Of opposition, it seems to US
| would hare been ull sufficient, au.l had we laI
the authority, We woud hare limited the call to
| this comprehensive proposition, for IT is broad
enoughso 10 combine all the elements Of hostility
TO the ruling d5nasty, Which is little more than
an expression in itself of every conceivable sort
| OF nlas-adnlnlstrat'on and heresy against the
| Constitution aud our institutions Us established
| ny the fAshers. But us tie authors Of the call
haze deemed it wise to ampliiy somewhat, let Us
look into these specifications, and see what they
| really mean.
Everybody will understand the first and see
| ond specifications. Open and unbtushinx cor
ruptlons and usurpatlous constitute the yerY ex-
/ is'ence Of the Administration policy, ard the
| only way to save our Institutions from positive
a9o hna destruction Is 10 d5lse tue dynasty out

1t has earned the wages Of political sin, md
nothing rcman$ but TO Iischarl l;e the obligation.
Let 1t BE- consigned speedily to the political
