press the hope and the belief, that a y%etlong-
er experience of the character of Slavery,
will lead them up TO the ground occupied by
this Society, and make our watchword theirs,
"NO UNION WITH SLAVE
HOLD Err So
Resolved, That the Imprisonment Of the
Rev. Charles Il. Torrey in the penilentiary
Of Maryland, for the assisting in the escape
of slaves, an act in itself right and praise
worthy, demonstrates anew The necessary
autagonlsm Of slavery to republicanism, re-
ligion and common humanity and that the
protracted death TO which he was subjected
for this meritorIous action, is Justly chargea-
bic to the wicked completely of the Ameri-
can States, and to the more guilty consent Of
the American Church, In the crime of slave
holding.
Whereas, when a faithful, intrepid, vete-
ran. pioneer in the Anti Slavery cause is
called from his earthly field of toll to his just
reward in I" another and Il better world" it is
due to his memory TO notice his decease in
terms of morited respectand gratitude there
fore,
Resolved, That this society desires to place
on record Its deep sense of the remarkable
clearness Of vision, extraordinary moral he
roism, the untiring hbors, and unGeaslng sa-
| %criices, the meritorious deserts Of that early
and devoted pioneer IN the cause Of imme-
date and unconditional emancipation, the
late venerable GEORGE BOURNE, Of this
city, whose death has occurred since our last
anniversary.
Resolved, That in the agitation which has
pervaded the State of New York, since the
Convention for the amendment Of its Consti-
tuition has been in question, on the subject Of
the restoration of their civil rights to its CO.
lored citizens, and in the numerous instances
it has afforded of men preterring humanity
and consistent repu5ilcanism to their party
tics, on this subject we recognize a fresh
proof Of the growing success OF our labors,
and of the progress Of Anti-SiaTery princi-
pies in the general mind.
Resolved, That although the political com
pleXion of the Convention is such as to afford
but faint hopes that impartial Justice will as
yet be done in their behalf, the friends Of rqual
rights should not be dishedrtened nor dis
courared in their agitation of this great ques-
ton, remembering that the decision of the
Convention is yet liable to be reversed at the
ultimate appeal TO the sovereign people and
that, should the voice Of the majority sane
ton the wrong. the eternal right will remain
unchanged, and should never be left without
perpetual protest and vindication until it shall
prevail.
Resolved, That we have witnessed with
the highest satisfaction and pleasure the Anti
Slavery career of our beloved friend Henry
G.. Wright, during his residence in the Brit
ish Islands, and that we believe his labors to
have been of i%nestimable value to the u%niyer-
sal interests Of our cause.
Resolved, That we return our cordial
thanks to the faithful Abolitionists of Great
Britain and Ireland, for the hospiiable recep-
ton they have extended to our valued friends
Frederick Douglass and James n. Builum,
and for the heartiness of their good will and
cooperation in promoting the objects of their
Anti-Slayery mission.
Resolved, That we do entirely approve the
course of NIessrs. Wright, Douglass and Buff
fun, in uniting with the tried friends of the
slave in Scotland, in their e~Xertions to I'M
mask and bring to shame the time-serving
and pro-slavery conduct of the delegates of
the Free Church while in the United States,
and Of the hypocTitical inconsistency of those
that sustain and defend it at home.
Resolved, That the thanks of the American
slave, and of his true friends, will be forever
due to those faithful and uncompromising
Abolitionists Of Scotland, and especially to
the Glasgow Emancipation Society, for their
noble efforts TO expose the guilt and folly of
the seeding church in receiving the contd-
buttons of American man-stealcrs for their
pious uses; and that we trust they will not
relax their exerticns until the leaders OF that
church shall be compelled, by the omnipo-
tence of an enlightened public sentiment, to
hear and obey the righteous demand
"SEND BACK THAT BLOOD-STAIN-
ED MONEY !'-knowing, as we do, that
