9. Whereas it is slanderousy reported of the Lber-
ty party that they embrace and advocate sentiments
threatening the dissolution of the Union and the de-
traction of the American churches resolved that we
and all the Liberty party far knox or believe
wholly repudate such sentiments. We labor TO CO.
ment and strengthen the Union by eradcating that
great evil slavery which tends to the destruction of
the Union, and we would gladly see the churches
strengthened by becoming purified, and carrying into
full effect the benign principles Of the gospel and the
principles of Liberty guaranteed by the constitution of
the United States, which result in the speedy abolition
of slavery.

Liberty party is to conquer the aggressive power of
slavery and rescue the slave from the oppression and

in them each one act as his conscience may dictate.

such convention to fill any vacancies occurring by the
non att ndance Of any of their associates from this
State.
l3. That we earnestly recommend the holding of
county conventions throughout the State in order to
arouse fellow citizens from the danger that now
threatens the overthrow Of our institutions, and to
render government the scof of civilized nations
/, A. Resolved, That the response given by the peo-
pie Of the slave States without distinction of party to
the of Cen Taylor for the presidency show that

the institution of slavery That Taylor is savehod-
er and friend to the extension and perpetuaon of
slavery is sufficient for them, whether wing or demo-
