RESOLUTIONS.
ReSolOed, That while we in common with our
brethren of other political parties, profess to be-
lieve in the doctrines of Freedom and inalienabe
rights, as set forth and embodied in the Declare
ton of American Independence, it is our duty, and
the duty Of every American citizen, 10 manifest
his belief in these doctrines by his political actions;
aud any man protesting to believe these doctrines
who shall, by his vote or otherw Use, aid or assist
in cevating to offices Of honor or trust, those no
practically deny the same by voluntarily holding
in bondage and degradation bis fellow man, or
Justify those that do is guilty of the grossesI i'll
consistency; and especially does he, in our opin-
ion, forfeit any claim that he may make of being
an abolilionst.
2 Resolved, That for the so-caIled democratic
party to pretend to be in favor of equal rights"
while they bow to the mandates of slavery, as in
the late presidential election and last session of
Congress; or for the wing party to profess TO he in
favor Of all constitutional means for the abolition
of slavery, and then labor to place at the head of
the government a man who declares himself OPP
posed to all measures for Its abolition, either I'M
mediate or prospectve-ls utterly absurd and con-
Trajectory, and shows conclusively that they care
more for the spos of office than the rights of man.
8. ResoEred, That the admission of Florida in
to the Union, with the blacklist kind of slave
holding constitution, by the joint action Of wings
and democrats, Thereby throwing the balance in
the U. S. Senate into the hands of the slavehold-
ers-is an alarming sacrifice of the rights of the
free States, and calls loudly for our rebuke at the
ballot box
4, Resolved, That, in our belief, the U. S. con-
sutton makes ample provision for the entire abo-
llton of slavery, and the establishment of the nal
lenable rights of man; and we will support the
constitution and the Unicn-,cih Texas, if we
MUsT-Ditheut it, if we CAN.
D. RESOLVED, That the events of each successive
year convince us more and more Of the necessity
of distinct organization of the friends of liberty
and humanity, to resist the alarming encroach-
ments of slavery and protect the waning interests
of freedom.
g. RESOLVED, That, in our Judgment, Paul Dill
| bingham, Jr. our representative in Congress, by
his vote in favor of the annexation of Texas, has
fagrantly violated the public pledge he made pre-
vous to his last election that he would do nothing
to build up the institution of slavery, and has for
feed the confidence of every friend Of freedom.
:. T. ResOlUed That we will use all means becom-
ing Christian frecmen to secure the election of the
senatorial ticket this day put in nominations and
also the state ticket nominated last winter at Ran.
