ResOhred, That the apologies which have
been offered in years gone by for those who
ignorantly assisted in spreading and uphold
ing this terrible institution by ecclesiastical
and state covenants, are no longer admissible,
because all men now know or ought to know
the damning guilt Of countenancing or apollo
giving for those who are guilty of the "sum
Of all human villanies."
Resoired, That those churches who c%ontin-
ue still in fellowship, by regarding as good
christians, those men who now sin willfully,
knowingly, with a reckless disregard Of all
the sacred rights Of humanity, by weaving
sophistical apologies for slavery, and by CO.
operating with shareholders for the spread OF
the gospel, have forfeited every claim to the
name Of christian churches, and expose them
selves to the merited derision of the %virtuous
and christian community.
ResOiped, That the party claiming to be ex-
clusively Democratic, by the nomination as
its gubernatorial candidate, of DAVID TOP, a
man, who, while a member of the Senate of
Ohio, evinced his hatred of the principles of
justice and republicanism, by voting against
lie rtght IF petition, and in (arOr of that obi
Gus and unconstitutional Black Lac, dictated
by Kentucky despots, shows its determine
ton TO continue, as heretofore, the nafuraiaKy
IF the STARE poiUer.
Rcsohed, That the Wing party Of Ohio,
which Tor two years past, have represented
themselves as the true Liberty party" have
shown most clearly their pro-slayary nronen-
%slties,a as well as their damning iypocrisy. by
refusing in the Legislature to Tepeal the black
.oue !, our sue; by holding up, in their re-
ccn' |'a'e Convention, the character" and
services OF Henry CLAY, the great duel
lst, Shareholder, Missouri co~mpromiser. and
author of hrkancaa ola varv 49, -
for emulation to future statesmen and patri-
otS;" and in the same Convention, by refus-
Ing to lisp one cOrd of Indignation against lhe
outrage upon the rights of Ohio and her citi-
zens, perpetrated by the shareholders and the
slave power of Virginia.
ResOlred, That while we sincerely hope
that the parties named in the Two preceding
resolutions, after having assumed the pro-
slavery position which they now occupy, will
not insult honest men by asking their suffrage;
but that, should our hopes in this respect not
be realized, We will repel the insult with that
contempt which impotence Of such magni-
tude Justly merits.
ResoIred, That the Liberty party of Ohio,
in nominating Samuel Lewis as their Guber-
material candidate, while he is in connection
with and unfolding a church that upholds
and s~ustains slavery, prove that they are not
the consistent advocates of universal liberty.
ResOhred, That he who goes to the ballot
box, is bound by the most solemn obligations,
to use his elective franchise for the election
OF those who will WELD their official influence
tor the removal of the lUrOng and the estab-
lishment of the right, and that to vote for
Shareholders, or for those who will sustain
the slave power and its interests, is to mani
4 fest a total disregard Of the most sacred du-
: ties Heaven requires at our hands.
