The following resolutions were adopted without
a dissenting voice at a Democratic convention
held in Ravenna, on the Isl Of September ls45.
The Ohio Star attributes the action Of that con
Vention against slavery, to the influence proceed.
ing from the meetings held in that place by the
agents Of the American Anti society.
Resolved, That, in the opinion of this con-
%vention, slavery is a national curse a direct vic.
lation Of the absolute rights of man, and a deep
and odious stain upon our national honor.
Resolved, That " as Northern free men are
in duty bound thus publicly to express our un-
compromising hostility TO an institution fraught
with SO much injustice, and total disregard OF
individual rights, and which brings such Just re-.
proach upon our common country.
RcSotUed, That in order the more ellGctually
20 carry out and put in practical operation our
principles upon this great aud important subject
we pledge ourselves and the democratic party Of
the county, TO make use Of all means conStitu-
tiOndAy in our power TO accomplish the speedy
abolition of slavery in the United States and
their territories, and especially TO effect the re-
peal of all laws now existing in Ohio imposing
any distinctions whatever between the colored
and the free white population of the State.
Resolved, That, regarding the strict obser-
vance OF these principles in the light of our i'm
pSidbiNo uulJs We agdih pICuBe ourselves TO
support no man for Representative to the State
Legislature, who will not nvow his firm and unal-
terable determination TO use every honorable eli
fort in the discharge OF his official duties to bring
about their speedy and triumphant success.
Resolved, That the old and ;rito m1xim, 'let
Us do evil that good may come" constitutes no
part Of our political creed. We therefore dis
countenance and utte;l disapprovo Of the course
OF all individuals, who either from blind and o.
49, .-1 -. f.. .-t Tin
aiming at the subversion Of the Federal Consti-
tuition and the dissolution of the Union with the
Ostensible object of accomplishing the abolition
of slavery.
J1%esoired, That the Constitution Of the United
States is the only Safeguard o, our federal com.
pact" and that ii is to that compact We owe our
safety at homo and our consideration and res
poet abroad. The individual. therefore, who
advocates as the first step towards the abolition
ofslavery, the dissolution of the one, or the sub.
version ofthe ether, should be looked upon in
the light of the Quack who prescribcs a remedy
worse than the disease and practices upon the
principle of'killing a man to save his life.'
