or Nero on the throne of Rome.
G. Resoired That il is falsehood to call any
party in this nation Ercesoa Party since there
is not foot of free soU under the ius,liction
of the United States, any political party
acknowledging allegiance to the government
that Is really seeking to make the soil free
even that which Mexico made free having been
rccklessly and ruthlcssly torn from her, and
with the consent of all existing political parties
consccratcd as tho hunting ground Of tho hu-
man kidnapper, where himself, or his not less
human bloodhound, may hunt and seize tho
living fugitive and hurl him hcadlong back to
the horrors of the whipping post and the plan
tntion
2. Rcsolrod That tho government of this
country being open rebellion and treason AGAINST
the government of God, by its support of slave
ry, its slaughter of the Seminole Indians. its
monstrous murder of $4,000 Mcxicans md sci
zurc of vast extent of their country for slave
holding, the enactment oflaws with fearful pon-
alties against the highest, holiest and plaincst
demands OF Christian kindness and philanthro-
py, any church that voluntarily supports that
| government, whose members vote in it, or arc,
| with their own consont,) voted for is a scam
dal and libel on truth and goodness, q syna-
goguc of Satan, an enemy of righteousness
and of God, and as such, should be Stunned rs

forests and happiness of man.
8. RoSolccd, That those ministers and re-
| lgious teachers who confound such religion
with thc doctrines and prccopts of Jesus of
Nazareth arc either more stupid and blind than
tho sayagcs Of Tho wilderness, or they arc the
strongest evidence Of the possibility of Total
Dcpravity, and in either case, arc as religious
teachers, worthy only of the supreme contempt
of the whole human race.
Q. Resoipcd, That VIC behold with satisfaction
and delight tho decline of tho slave c-brcoding
and slavc-buying Religion of this country,
| North as nell as South we rejoice in tho doarth
of its once boosted rcvivals; VIC arc glad at the
| extinction of so many of its churches the
scattering of so many of its ministers into 9TH
CT and better cmploymcnts, and the reduction
Of tho number of students in most of the Thco-
logical Scminarics-for We behold in these
things bright promise and sure prophecy that
the kingdom of heaven is ut hand that Peace
and righteousness will Gre long supcrscdc tho
war and slavery that now dcsolato and darkcn
the earth, and God be acknowledged rs the
common Father of all his children, and all his
children love and acknowledge each other as
brethren and members of the same great family.

Rc,oiccd That without the aid of the Church
Albert Barnes being witness, Slavery at this
age and in this country could not exist

tanned by fraud deception and violence, it fol-
lows as a logical conclusion that the Church can
resort to such means only as the above to main
tain it.

important instrumentality, that it may be made
