large as the domain of the American slave
holder. lie and his bondmen already occupy
by far the most fertile and genial portion of
this continent. Let him rest content with
his territorial possessions and power. We
do not seek to disturb him. We neither as
sail nor defend bis asserted right to hold this
peculiar kind of property. We simply affirm
that we have nothing to do with it, and pro
pose to let him and his slaves alone where
they are. We make, therefore, uo question
about the abolition of Slavery in the South.
We but stand in defence of Freedom in the
North. Kansas is in the latitude of Phila
delphia. In geographical position it is a
Northern Territory. It was dedicated by a
solemn compact in 1820 to Freedom forever.
We claim the fulfillment of the bond. We
I'fend the integrity of the Northern soil
against the cupidity that would subjugate it
by violence into a plantation of slaves.
Much has been said of the dangers involv
ed in this controversy. We are counseled to
submission and acquiescence in the wrong,
because the wrong-doer threatens greater ca
lamities if wo shall dare to defend our rights.
Such threats are unbecoming those who make
them, and an inSult to those upon whose fears
they arc expected to operate. Great ques
tions of governmental policy, involving the
very substance of our liberties, and the hap
piness of remote generations, are not to be
settled by appeals to the fears of any part of
the American people. Reason, and the calm
judgment of an enlightened public opinion,
must decide between freemen —threats are a
terror to slaves. Imaginary dangers become
realities to the timid —to the courageous they
vauish on a nearer approach, iso, here the
only danger lies in becoming alarmed.
The danger is overcome the day it is met
with resolute courage and determined pur
pose. The right must prevail, and the wrong
must give way. Upon no other basis can the
questions at issue ever be permanently set
tled. It is no impeachment of the manly
qualities of our Southern friends to say that
they will and must submit to that which is
just and right, when constitutionally embod
ied in the legislation of the government. —
Let the freemen of the North announce, in
language firm and unmistakcable, their pur
pose to resist the spread of slavery, and, at
every cost, to preserve the integrity of the
Union, and we shall have a lasting peace,
such as no compromise, having its foundation
in wrong, can ever secure to the country.
The position taken by the Convention, in
its resolve touching the duties and obligations
imposed upon those who seek adoption into
our great American family of freeman,
must meet the approval of every patriotic
citizen. We have a right to expect and re
quire a perfect and undivided allegiance
from all who are invested with the high pre
rogatives of citizenship. As the adopted
citizen receives in full measure all the rights
anq immunities of the native born, so ought
he to render the like single and reserved de
votion to the country of his adoption. He
should acknowledge no earthly power supe
rior to the Constitution and the sovereignty
of the American people. There is no dan
ger that we shall err in our zealous devotion
to our country, and in the cultivation of an
intense American Nationality.
I have not time to speak of the other top
ics embraced in the platform of principles
adopted by the Convention, in the manner
their importance deserves. Opportunities
will be afforded me hereafter to make my
views known on some matters of domestic
policy closely connected in my judgment
with the growth and prosperity of our great
Commonwealth. While the utmost care
should be observed not to disturb the vast
business interests of a Commonwealth so
rich, and of such diversified pursuits as our
own, yet it cannot be denied that ours, the
richest Commonwealth of its extent in the
world, has not kept pace in the development
of her resources and in productive industry
with some of her sister States.
We may therefore without the charge of
rashness, induire is our policy could not, in
seme respects, be made more conformable to
the spirit of the age, and more in harmony
with the wants of an ever active business en
terprise.
In conclusion, gentlemen, permit me to
tender my thanks for the very kind and ex
eeptable manner in which you discharged the
duty assigned you.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.

©aT*The Ilarrisburg Herald, edited by
John -J. Clyde, K-q., speakß as follows of the
proposed American Convention to nominate
a third candidate for Governor:
A few straightout Americans who, for reason
best known to themselves, disapprove of the
union movement which resulted in the nomi
nation of David \\ ilmot for governor, have
issued a call for an American State Conven
tion at "Lancaster on the 25th of this month.
There has been no response to the eal), ex
cept in one or two counties, the mass of the
Americans deprecating the movement as one
designed to distract and divide the Opposi
tion, and give aid and comfurt to the Demo
cratic, anti-American, pro slavery party.
The Americans of various counties wee fully
and fairly represented in the State Conven
tion, —their delegates went there in good
faith, prepared to abide the result, whatever
it might be, —and casting aside all personal
preferences, the Americans of the State gene
rally cordially endorse the action of the Con
vention and will give a hearty support to the
nominees. The evidence of this may be
found in the action of the State Council,' and
most of the subordinate Councils. Many hon
est Americans were misled last year, and
made to play "second liddle" to the Demo
cratic party and their Foreign Romish
'They will be careful not to make a similar
fatal mistake this year. The tone and tem
per of the American press throughout the
State indicate that the I. nion movement is
complete and perfect in all its parts, and
that the Americans and Republicans, occupy
ing the same platfurin, and rallying under
the same banner, will present a solid front to
the Romish arid Slavery Battalions, and
march enward to certain victory. The relit
spirit is abroad, and all attempts to distract
and divide the Opposition will prove abor
tive.
Mr. Clyde was, and perhaps is now, Presi
dent of the American State Council. We
publish his opinion to show our American
friends in this county the tendency of the
proposed movement.
