ing, it is highly inconsistent with our princi-
pies as abolitionists, to vote for shareholders,
or pro-slavery men, to fill any office iii our
national or State governments.

duty bound to use the elective franchise in
such a way as to bear a consistent testimony
against slavery, and the encroachments of the
slaveholding power.
Resolved, That to vote for the candidates
of either the Wing or Democratic parties, as
now constituted, no matter how great profess
sions those candidates may make of opposi-
ton to slavery, and devotion to Liberty prin-
ciples, is to vote for the slave-holding inter-
est, as both these parties are chained to the
car of slavery.
