also TO know that the people of Vermont
have long ago been made acquainted with

r1oN adopted the following, among other resolu
tions:
ResOlced, That, eschewing all theolog
teal or metaphysical subtilities, and being
guided by the words of our Lord, 'Yt
shall know them by their fruits this Con
venlicn afirms, that no STAKEHOLDER, M
defender or apologist Of slavery, or an,
well informed person living in indifer
ence to the slaves claim to freedom, und
er the light of the Scriptures and the max
inns OF republican government, can pos
sess that temper of mind which was i
Christ Jesus /; and therefore, that n
church, composed of such members, Q
sanctoning such practices, can consistent
y be termed church of Christ.
ResOlved, That petitions be sent to tn
Legislatures of the New England State!

laws making any difference OF rights G
privileges on account of complexion; an
we believe that all true abolitionists, WI

ResOlred, That the Governors and lie

to demonstrate with the Governors an
Legislatures Of the slave States, concer

ReSOlUed, That the success OF the An
Slavery cause, Notwithstanding the un
vorable circumstances in which sor
may suppose il now stands, is guarante
by the intrinsic excellence of its prin

the attributes Of the Divine character.
Resolved, That colonization of the f
colored people of this country. in Afri

ing to the humanity of those peonlt

lean slavery-means no good to Afric;
has no tendency to destroy Or embarl

fraud on the benevolence of the pu
and is the subterfuge of an impeni
people embarrassed with slavehold
and seeking 70 rid themselves of its Z
and dangers without departing from
sin.
