Nullifcarion and the right OF secession
were the foundation principles ot the
Republican party organization. Twelve
Republican State Legislatures passed
acts practically nulliting the so called
Fugitive Slave Law, and the party in
Conventions IN those several States
pledged themselves to resist its cninIce-
mcnt after its C"nstitutinnality had been
affirmed unanimously by the Supreme
Court of the United States. The Fed
eral authority was resisted IN Boston
by force OF arms, IN the person of Devrns

United States. one OF his deputies killed
outright, and the rebellion was signal

the dust OF the city without interference
