THE Liberty PARTY


freedom of the oppressed, not recoccting the reso
lutions of the last Legislature AS II is our wish L
throw all the light may be able upon the sub
iect we copy The resolutions which were unan
imously passed by both branches Of the Vernon
Legislature
Resofred. 6v The Senate and House of Reprfseaia
tires LIST. That as the Representatives Of tn
people the State of Vermont we do protest agaus
the admission into the Union of any State who's,
constitution tolcraes domestic slavery, or the an
nexation of Texas, any other Territory, IN wbcl
slavery exists.
2d That we believe that Congress have the pow
or by the Constitution of the United States, Il
abolish slavery and the slave trade in the Dstric
of Columbia aud in the Territories of the Uniiet
! States and that it Congress refuses TO abolish
slavery in the District Of Columbia, that the seat o
the General Government ought a. he removed
from that District to place where slavery aud th,
slave trade do not exist
3D. That we believe Congress has constitutions
power TO prohibit the slave trade between the
several states in this Union, and TO make sucl
laws shall efiectually prevent this trade and
ought to exercise this power
| 4lh That the Constitution Of the United States
ought to be amended, as 10 prevent the existence
and maintenance of Slaves in the United States in
any form or manner.
| 5th That our Senators in Congress be instruct
ed, and our Representatives be requested, To pre-
sent the foregoing resolutions 10 their respective
Houses in Congress- and 10 use their influence 10
cnrry out the principles thereof
9th. That the Governor Of this state be requested
to transmit copy of the foregoing resolutions 10
each of our Senators and Representatives, in Con-
gress.
We ask every abolitionst carefully TO peruse the
foregoing resolutions. The first resolution protests
against the admission oiany State or Territory inti
the Union, whose Constitution tolerates domestic
slavery. This resolution certainly is in accordance
with the views of the most strenuous abolitionist
IL "a, tha nj fLo Of a.
mont expressed through their Representatives,, and
our Senators instructed, and our Representa-
tves requested, To use their influence carry out
its principles, cannot conceive that any party,
let IL be known by whatever name il may can do
more. Suppose, for instances, the Legislature of
the state should pass resolutions in favor of pro-
iectve Tariff and should instruct the delegation in
Congress from this state TO present the resolutions
to the Senate and House OF Representatives and
use their influence to procure such Tariff. Would
not such act be supposed to express in the
strongest possible manner the views OF the people
of the State and at the same time show to all, de.
cided action upon the subject? And would It not
be the very kind Of action that would have an in
huence to bring about the passage Of such law I?
But there are certain individuals IN this State not
content with this. They wish precisely the same
thing-but the party passing the Tariff vote is
known by some other name than Tariff Party
They therefore poless TO the necessity of get
ting up another party, whose sole object will be TO
procure the passage Of law to protect domestic

bring about the individual object they have view.
Now every one would see at a glance the folly of
the movement. Another party had done the very
