J. That the repeated and long ng-continued encroach-
ments Of the slave power eliminating at last in the
repeal of the prohibition Of slavery in all the un-
organized territory of the Union forces upon us the
conviction that there is escape from the alternative
freedom or slavery political issue, which is to
determine whether the future administration of the
government shall be devoted to the the other.
z. That we accept this issue forced upon us by the
slave power, and, in defense of freedom, win co.
operate with whatever name party for the accom-
plishment Of the following principles:
3. To bring back the administration of the govern
ment to first principles.
4. To restore Nebraska and Kansas to the position
of free territory.
3 To the repeal and entire abrogation of the fu-
gitive slave law.
exists.
z, To resist the admission of any more slave
States into the Union.
3. TO exclude slavery from all territory over
which the general government has exclusive juris-
dicton and TO resist the acquisition of any more ter
rltory unless the prohibition of slavery therein for
ever shall have been provided for.
y: That are in favor Of the Maine law and of
its faithful enforcement
To- That to advance these purposes we win ree such
constitutional and lawful means as shall seem best
adapted to their accomplishment and that we will
support for Office under the general or State
government, who is not positively and fully com
mitted to the support Of these principles and whose
personal character and conduct is guarantee that
he is reliable.
