THE FREEDOM CALL.
TO THE PEOPLE OF POTTER COUNT%
The recent aggression of the Slave Power,
in repealing that section ,of the Missouri
Compromise act prohibiting Slavery in K./m
-ans and Nebraska, calls for immediate action
on the part of all true friend's of Freedom.
The Slave Power, 111 the violation of the
3lissouri Compromise, has put au end to the
whole system of Congressional compacts be
tween Freedom and Slavery. It thus becomes
the •duty of all genuine friends of a Fiee
orernment to stand only on the Constitution,
and observe its provisions in reference to
con:roversies arising between the different
sec ions of the coon:r•.
Relying upon the apathr and indifference of
the North, the leading Southern organs openly
avow their intention of procuring. by :pur
chase or by war, Cuba, Hayti, and a portion
of Mexico, and the valley of the Amazon,
for the purpose of forming a slaveholding
power sulliclent to overbalance forever the
influence of Freedom in the councils of the
Nation. To resist this scheme ; the North
mast be united; "the question of Freedom must
be made paramount to all other political ques
tions." That section of the Missouri Compro
mise which pledged as sacred forever to
Freedom the Territories now known as Kan
sas and Nebraska, must be re7nstated. The
system of Slavery must lie denationalized.
.ani this Government brought back to its
original policy of Freedom. For th:s pur
pose, meetings of the people have been
already called in Vermont, Ohio, Indiana,
Miyhinn,Wisconsin, rmi Massachusetts,whi:e
,:hers of the Free Sta.es are preparing for
the same action. With the same purpose in
several County Conventions have al
ready been held in this State, in which all the
opponents of the Nebraska outrage, without
reference to old party connections, have met
loge heft and acted harmoniously, with a view
to the restoration of the Missouri Compro
mise.
Believing the. People of Potter enmity are
reidv for thit movement, ive invite our fidlow
citizens, without distinction of party, to meet
in Mass Conrention at Coudersport on Mon
shy ecening, September ]4th, to counsel
loge her, end take such ac'ion as the crisis
requires. We also iuvi,e all of our fellow
cidzeus, who are in favor of restoring the
Missouri Prohibition, and of repe.ding the
Fugitive Aare bill, to as. , endi'e in their re
siev ire toWuship on Tinu-sday uf'ernoon,
yep ember 14, and make nominations for the
dices to he tilled at the ensuing election,
teak ug re:urn to the Mass Meeting of all the
so:es given tbr each candidate.
THE 11MIMY MEETINGS.
The people of this County who are
in favor of the restoration of the Mis
souri Prohibition of Slavery in Kansas
anti Nebraska, and in favor of the re
peal of the Fugitive Slave Bill, are in
v:ted by the circular published in an
caber column, and signed by a majori
ty of the voters in the County, to meet
in thvir several Townships, on Murs
er Sept. 11, " and make
:ainations for the offices to he filled
the ensuing election; making return
to the ittiss meeting, of all the votes
riven for each candidate."
The object of this plan of Making
nominations, is to de , troy the raitc - us
:pie - in t and to substitute in its place,
nominations by the People in their
everal townships, which will enable
every voter to express his own choic e
for candidates, and will prevent the
possibility of nominating a candidate
who is obnoxious to thes‘voters. We
believe this is the only safe and repub
lican plan of making nominations, and
therefore we trust all independent men
will turn out on the 14th, and make
choice of such men for candidates as
they think are most suitable to fill the
several offices. , And the better to in
mre a full turnout, we hope some
active friends in each, township will
;!,et up notices of the house a'nd place
fif meeting, and put them up in every
•-aspicuous place. We would also ,
`-;•gest that every primary meeting;
s: c t a . Vigilance Committee of three
tr , act for the ensuing year. The
"i . :ces to be filled at the ensuing 'dee
11'n are—two County Commissiotreys,
I "4.County Auditors, a Prothonotary,
fteasurer, and Registbr and Recorder.
r-.3' ; 1t0 appropriations made by
the last Congress were over sixty-One
millions of dollars. A more extrava
gant and unprincipled body Probably
never assembled in Washington.
