National Convention met here toaday and
pending the report of the COMMITTEES on
Resolutions the Convention was addressed
by Hon. Oaspar jBurtz, of q Chicago, who
made avery radical speech as the repre-
sentative Of, the German Convention that
met at Cleveland last fall ,i1 N e5L 5As,s1tta t,o
He said that some Germans had gone
over to the, Oopperheads, but they had
400, 900 votes left and should attain uni
yersal freedom throughout the entire
United States, and asked where can we
find, better territory for homes to the
slaves than that wrested from the rebels
we are now c0nquering. 35Hl s.a9h3. on
Mr.. Anderson, of Missouri, said that the
spirit of John J.. Crittenden hangs like q
nightmare over Kentucky, and prevents
her from expressing her true principles 24
At the afternoon. session the following
resolutions were offered by the Committee
on Resolutions, excepting the seventh,
which was offered by Mr. Kirkel % They

ment, State and National, must be preserved,
and rebellion suppressed ,-3in&, aa3 qof'
i I'd. That Slavery was the cause, and now
constitutes the strength of the rebellion that
we see no hope of permanent peace until the
principles of Freedom ennunciated in the Dec
laration of Independence and in the Federal
J Constitution, are carried into practice. The
question whether Slavery is to be perpetuated
or not, is no longer exclusively State but q
g National one. 1t is therefore proposed that
the Constitution be so amended as to secure
freedom to every human being within its juris.
diction.y Such guarantee of individual free
dom is as necessaryin the Constitution of the
United States as that, ofta- republican form of
government to each State.i9a1 a. nlgaE alHigg
3D. The Government has the Constitutional
right to controllment of every man, no matter
what his color or condition; whether bond
or free. The master cannot interpose his right
between the man and the Government, and we
are in favor of enlisting and enrolling ALL. -
~ 4th. That during "a rebellion the President
in the exercise of the war power has full and
ample authority to free all the slaves in the
rebellious district, and they are thereby ir-
vested irreyocably with oil the rights of free
men, and in the present rebellion he ought
to exercise this power TO its full extent. tr-g
9Th. That with the effect of the Presidents
Amnesty Proclamation before, US, we declare
that, in our opinion, the same has been injuri-
ous to the Union cause, and its operation with
in the district to which it especially applies
humiliating and unjust to loyal men by placing
themup the same footing with the rebels;
and we would urge its recall, or suspension
until armed rebellion is wholly crushed.
r 9th. That the Slave State Freedom Conyen-
ton be made a permanent organization, by the
formation of an executive committee of one
member and one alternate from each of the
Slave States, for the purpose of carrying out
Its principles; and that the delegation for each
State REPRESENTED in this convention, appoint
the members of that committee. .r5sr -a3
q IL 9TH. That we declare ourselves favorable to
to such an amendment of the Constitution of
the United States as shall make the President
elective for one term only att fau.. ,.--.
s@i A resolution was offered and lost, after
considerable discussion, providing for a
/. National Radical Convention at St. Louis,
May 10th. Fifty three were in favor of it
and sixty-four against, the majority pre-
ferring to act with the Republican party
in their National Convention. s.. j '.'-
The proceedings of the convention we've
generally harmonious, but towards the
close of the afternoon session considerable
confusion prevailed, principally upon minor
points, and the convention adjourned

DEAR SIR: When at the age of thirty Years
made acquaintance with New New England
the kitchen, if there Yves one, was not opened
to me- although Fanuel Hall and the old South
Church was. salsgl -. .s.f.s4e,- ..s.f Fs s.rsa
have, however. very distinct remembrances
OF the New York country kitchen of the olden
time. That Institution, i judge was richer
in peculiarities than the New England
Kitchen, if your account of the latter exhaus-
tiye' In the first place the kitchen iu the
chimney corner of which spent my winter
evenings, had two doors opposite each other,
through which the horse passed when he drew
on the back log. Secondly, there was set

which the witches used to rendezvous when
going out before their mischievous errands.
Third, there was a slave bunk for the, people
