EVENING SESSION.
DIR. N. Stanton offered the following reso-
luton, which on motion of DR.. N. Johnson,
was laid on the table.
Resolved, That we will not nominate or
vote for any person to fill any office, either
legislative or executive, who does not pledge
himself TO carry out, the principles of peace
In his official acts, and use his entire infu-
ence to break down the system of shedding
blood in our government.
The President, Daniel Worth, called Wal
ter Edgerton to the chair, and offered the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, 1t is notorious that a certain dep
utation of men has been sent from London
Yearly Meeting Of Friends to this State, in
consequence of the separation which took
place in the Yearly meeting of Friends of In
diana, in the winter of 1912 and 'l3 in rela-
ton to the antl-slayery question, and where
as, We were authorised, from the anti slavery
reputation of the London Yearly meeting, and
OF the said deputation, to anticipate a decided
action in favor of the anti-slavery cause, there
fore,
Resolved, That the course pursued by said
committee since its arrival, in carefully avoid
ing the attendance of this convention, and in
virtually taking sides with the old Yearly
meeting OF Indiana in its proscriptive course
towards its members, which evidently occa-
stoned the above named separation, and in its
antl-abolltion measures in closing meeting
houses against us as abolitionists, and in for
bidding its members to associate with us on
the great anti-slavery question, has DESTROYED
all our confidence in any of them as members
OF theB land F. A. S. Society, and we can but
regard their conduct as extremely temporiz-
Ing and hypocrltlcal, and totally unworthy of
such antl-slayery characters and professions.
Whereas, The above named deputation, OF
at least a part of 1t, as we are informed upon
good authority, has declared that no circum.
stance could possibly occur that would JUST.
fy a separation from the Society of Friends,
therefore,
Resolved, That if they grant to others the
same which they claim for the Society OF
Friends, they thereby virtually condemn ev-
cry separation which has recently occurred in
the American churches on account of their
slave holding character, and of course occu-
py a position, which, if carried into action,
would trample unter foot every right of o.
100000 human beings. rather than a division
in the churches should take place.
Resolved, That we can place no conf
dence in the calls of such cringing and SER
vile characters, for a convention of delegates
from all parts of the earth, to concert meas
ures for the abolition of Slavery throughout
the world, when it is obvious they have not
the moral courage to withstand the pro-slave-
ry current, even in the free States Of this u
Mon, and therefore, we must ever hereafter
reject any proposition of the kind as useless,
from men IF this description, unless we can
believe a radical change has taken place in
tn 7ir characters.
The above resolutions wero discussed at
considerable length, and adopted.
The following resolution was offered by
NJ. II. Hull, and adopted, viz:
Resolved, That we regret exceedingly the
contempt with which tho anti-slavery cause
has been treated by the above mentioned
Friends from England, who have not only de-
clined meeting with us in our State Anniver-
sary, to ''remember the slave in bonds as
bound with him." but refused even to au-
swer, in the usual form, our polite invitation
extended to them through our respected Pres
ident, Daniel Worth.
The committee to whom was recommend
ed that part of the former report, relative to
the press, produced the following report in
its place:
Resolved, That we recommend to the sup
port of the friends of Liberty, the ''Freo La
Dor Advocate" and the ''Indiana Freeman"
and that the executive committee contribute
from the means which are, or which NAV
hereafter m within their control, to their
relief.
