ministry and laiiy at the South, and min
istry and laity at the North, who sbY~their
profound silence in relation 10 this moment
Gus matter, declare too plainly that "they

iop,. and streaming up from every valley, =.
illuminating every nook and corner OF our
country = is.not one of that kind of times
OF ignorance which God winks al.n

slavery, all The plea we can conscientiouslY

II. Resolred, That, although we claim
TO be RADICAL ABoLITIoNlsTs," yet we rev.
erence the Bible as a revelation of God TO
man that we revere the Sabbath and the
institutions Of the Gospel, - and that we
respect and love ministry that are honest,
enlightened, s,eadfast and immovable IN the
truth, imbued with their Masters spirit 10
feel for others woes, and with courage to
obey God rather than man, manilesting
their faith and obedience unlike the Priest
and Levite) by their works"
I2. Resolved, That the praise OF every
patriot and phiianlhropist is due TO Madison
Washington and his heroic. compeers, for
the glorious blow by them recently, and we
trust triumphantly struck, on board the
slaye-ship . Creole in behalf of freedom,
thereby carrying out the noble principles of
the Declaration of Independence, THAT
whenever a people are brought under u
desp0tic p0Der, IT IS THEIR RIGHT, 1T IS
THElR tDuTY TO THROW OFF SUCH GOVERN
MENT AND PROVIDE NEW GUARDS ron THEIR
FUTURE SECURITY" and we here proclaim TO
The world, that the names Of those MINOR
TAT NINETEEN will stand side by side with
those Of Washington aud Lafayette and
Dessalines and Cirque, emblazoned by the
Fame, there TO be admired and venerated
long after the names of the miserable crea-
ture ATHERToN. ofcraren memory, and his
northern dough faced associates in mean
ness, shall have sunk in everlasting iniamy.
13. RESOLVED, That mo eaterpriZe ever
engaged the attention Of nation so i'm
measurably important as the immediate
overthrow of American Slavery: andWheth-
er its evils be weighed in moral, physical
or political balance, nothing can be thrown
into the opposite scale that will not kick the
beam: therefore il is the paramount duty of
abolilionists TO combat it al the press, the
forun,, the pulpit and the ballot boz, till
this last, worst enemy Of God and man, be
utterly annihilated. ..- --..-... ..:.
