maintain the ;n+a
,nent va [he sri.y of the govern
m;n;s+ I'm that the acts of the adj

are legitimate subjects Of just criticism
by the people;
a strict accountability for any want

8. The organization of our people
into the local and domestic sovereign
ies Of states and into the sovereignty
Of the Union, forms an essential ele-
nent for the preservation Of democrat
&c principles from the dangers of con-
solidation and imperial Capitalization
on the one hand, and from the fatal her
estes of secession and notification on
the other hand, and must be preserved.
There are national rights and state
rights. The state supremacy in all
municipal concerns is vital to popular
liberty, but no state has a right to be a
nation.
8. The causeless attack by the rebel
lion upon the integrity of the union es-
tabIlshed by u revolutionary faith
ers under which are enjoyed SO many
blessings, is a war upon the principle
Of civil liberty, and must be overthrown
to preserve the institutions of freedom
and our example and hope for free
men.
10. We are opposed to the polite
al or social equality Of the white and
black races, but we are in favor of the
separation of the races and the coloni-
cation Of tie black races at the eaIIi-
est practical period-TIhis resolution
was rejected.
II. The disbandment of the Afri-
can contingent of the army when the
rebellion is subdued, is demanded by
every consideration Of wise and provi-
dent craftsmanship, and we hereby
protest against the incorporation Of an
African force upon the peace estab-
llshment OF the American army.
y. That this meeting recommend
to the War Democracy to send dele
gates to a national convention on the
LIST Wednesday Of May, 1854, for the
purpose Of taking such action as they
may think best touching the nomina-
ton Of candidates for President and
Elce-President of the United States.
and to determine such other matters
as they may think proper, and that a
National Executive Committee be APP
pointed to promote the object of this
resolutlon-one from each State here
represented: Gen. John 4. McCler-
land, Springfield, Illinois; Judge
Amos Lowering, Hubbard, Indiana :;
Joseph E. Ely, Cincinnati, Ohio ::

Minnesota.
IL. The delegates to convention
provided for in the last resolution
shall be two from each congressional
district, with four from each State at
large.
IA. That the Chairman fill up the
National Central Committee pursuant
to nominations to be made by the or
CARNATIONS Of the several states.
Is. That as the only legitimate
purposes for which the war may be
waged is to suppress the rebellion, the
war must cease as soon as the rebel
lion is at an end. And we would hail
with joy any indication bv the people
Of a rebellious State to return to their
allegiance. Yet we shall not regret if
slavery falls as the legitimate conse-
quences of the war.
A resolution Of thanks to the hosts
of the fremont House was then vo-
ted unanimously, after which the con-
vention adjourned at half-past 1
o'clock in the morning, precisely.
