lst.-ResolVed, That the principles of the lib
erty Party, joining rs they do prayer and consist
ent action at the ballot box, must sooner or later
prevail, or slavery in this land be perpetual
2d.-Resolved, That time and close observation
have but deepened the conviction in the minds Of
this convention, of the necessity and adaptedness
of the organization of the Liberty Iarty for the o.
verthrow of the cruel institution OF American
Slavery, which has acquired such control over the
interests Of the government as justly to awaken
the most serious alarm in the minds of sound poll
ticians and true christians.
3d.-ResoIved, That it is a duty incumbent up-
on all our citizens without distinction of party to
unite their efforts both in religious and political
point of Yiew to exert all their powers TO The pull
ing down of the strong holds Of slavery and invo-
untary servtude, in whatever shape, in whatever
place, and under whatever circumstances it may
be found. And in consideration of these views we
pledge ourselves that however unequal the con-
test may now appear to be, we will never give o.
yer the struggle until victory shall perch on our
standard
4th.-Resolved, That in view of our duty to
God and to our neghbor, we will render all the
aid we can consistently with the constitution and
laws Of our country, to those who are endeavor-
ing TO escape from the curse of slavery.
6th.-That to imprson, to punish IN any
other way, person for obeying that divine pre-
cept which enjoins to feed the hungry, clothe the
naked, and receive those who are cast out,lnto our
houses, is high handed sin against God, and a vi
Oaton of true republicanism
Hh.-Resolved, That the voluntary connection
with q party association which is corrupt, ne
csssarily defies all persons entering into such con-
nections.
sth-Resolved, That no true Liberty man will
ever be guilty of despsing the liberty of any hu-
man being, or Withholding this inalenable right,
until child unborn can choose his land of ma
I Nho III
his skin.
The resolutions having been read were laid on
the table TO give way for an address from Rev. N.
Day, which was listened to with deep interest.
One of Perpont's hymns was then sung by four
voices which added much to the interest of the
