not merely seek union, hut the more
perfect union of free States by the eEpnl-
sion of the slaSe States from the Confed-
grafton, in which they have ever beam an
slement of discord, danger, and disgrace.
Resoiued, 3D., That it is not probable
that the ultimate severance of the Union
viii be an act of deliberation or discus
sion but that a long period of delibera-
tion and discussion must precede it, aud
here we meet to begin the work.
Resoipcd, 4th, That hcncefurward, in
stead of regarding it as an objection toI
any system of policy, that it will lead to
the sep, ration of the States. We will pro-
claim that to be the highest of all recon-

craftsmanship; and will support politi-
cally, such men aRd measures as appear
to tend most to this result.

MORE TREAsoNABLE EXTRACTS.

Far-better anything that God in his
providence shall send-than an extension
of the bonds of slayery.-[ Horace Mann.
No man has right to be surprised at
this state of things. 1t is just what we
Abolitionists and disunionists have at
tempted TO bring ab9Ht; There is merit
in the RRpublican party. + is the first
sectional party ever organized in this
country. 1t does not know its own face,
but calls itself national; but it is not pa
tional-it is sectional. The Republican,
party is party of the North pledged
against the South.-C Wendell Phillips
Resotced, That the Union was estab-
lished to secure the liberties of American
eilizsns. When it fails to do that, our
only voice can be, let the UniopE be dis
solved.-[ Howell Republican Resolution.

The True AAsrican, a Republican organ
