l:.t,.. e -. 1.,:,...,...
"9"' 9'''"'' "5 10 ''''0' "'''''''
we no" give 'he resolutions as they were a.
dopted =
RcS0'Sd, that the paramount object Of the
Liberty Party is the abolition of slavery in the
United States by the constitutional acts of the
Federal and State Governments
Rcsol0cd- That the government of the Uni
ted States is one of specific and limited powers,
conferred by the people through the constitution,
and among these powers there is none to institute
or sanction Slavery.
RcSoiUcd-That slavery being of such nature
that it is incapable of being. sustaned except by
positive law, and the legislature Of the govern
mcnt being incompetent to enact or establish
such law, it necessarily follows that slavery can
not constitutally exist in any new territory of
the United States.
ReSo}ycd-That it is the duty Of apti-slavery
men. in Congress- to propose and vote for acts
to repeal the slave code oftho district of Column
bia to repeal the act Of l793relatinpto fupitivcs
from service; to provide against the Introduction
of slavery. in any territory and such other laws
as may be necessary or expedient to Withdraw
the support of the Government from slavery, and
to array the powers of the general government
on the side of liberty and free labor
Rcso7ocd-That the allowance to the Slave
States Of representation in Congress, and in the
electoral colleges, for three G(ths ofther slaves
is unjust and anti-republican, and ought to be
abrogatcd with the least possible delay.
Resolccd-That the division of the States in
to judicial circuits, in such manner that the
slave State have five of the Supreme Courts Of
the Union, while the free States, with twice the
number of inhabitants, have but four, is wholly
unjustiflblc, and should be superseded by fair
and equitable arrangement.
Rcsolccd-That the laws in the several States
designed to Cypress and degrade particular class
es of individuals, are indefensible in principle
and ought to be repealed.
