Of peace and of the country.
Resoiccd, That We distinctly disclam any and

Rrsoirc3 That as the People of the South a.
lone have the power to cmancipatc their slaves,
the irri' tim polio, Of the neendares renders that
happ, result more remote and difficult Of attain
mont and riycts, peflnp, forever, those chains
which they effect a des,c to break.
Rcoieed, That the interference otthc Adolf

efforts.
ReSDfrcd, That regard the dissemination
Of inrcndnlN publications throughout the slave

RcSoi"ci That the ohnoxion, measures OF tho
Ahouoni,ts having produced great and general

on the subject of slavery that the m,ss of the
people Of the non-sllschodinp Sates neither
