RESOLUTIONS.

|. Rosolred That the Anti Slavery Enter
prise is based on the scf-ovident truth, THAT all
mon arc endowed with tho inalicnablo right
to Libcrty-and consequently that Slavery is al
ways and everywhere absolutely and cternnlly
wrOng-a violence done TO Naturc-a daring
warfare upon tho economy and government of
the Universal damning sin upon man, and
against the ever living God-and being such,
no Constitution nor Compact, no Statute nor
Decision, no Church nor Religion, no Bible nor
imaginary God, can mako it right-and it is
therefore to be resisted and ovcrthrown, even
though its downfall should involve Govern
ments and Religions, thrones and dominions,
Bibles and false gods in indiscriminatc ruin.
2. Resoircd, That the Fugitive Slave Law
recently passed in Congress, is but stronger
demonstration OF tho unjust, inhuman, God
dofying, God-dcnying character of the Amcri-
can Constitution and Union; and We hereby
avow our determination to treat it and its au-
thors with deserved contempt and tho govern
mcnt from which IL cmanatod with nbhorrcncc
and cxecration--whilo at tho Same time, in obc-
dicnce to tho higher and divincr law written by
the Spirit of the Almighty on every human
soul, we will encourage the poor bondmcn and
bond women to escape from their masters by
Offering them shelter, protection, conccalmcnt,
or any other aid or comfort in our power to af-
ford them.
3. Whercas, Under tho now Fugitive Slave
Law, certain Commissioners and other officers
are TO DO appointed in the several Free States
and Counties, TO act in behalf of the Southern |
Slave Master in the rc-capturc of his victims. |
Therefore
Rcsolred, That VIC do ardcntly hopo and pray |
that no man can be found to ncccpt so diaboli- |
cal an appointment, or to aid the Southern ruff |
fans in any way, by barking and running as
their bloodhound, or otherwise in his fondish |
work but should there be found those who
will thus degrade their manhood, who will
thus sink themselves to n lcvel with ravening
wolves and bowling hycnas, We call upon the
people to hold them in unuttcrablc abhoroncc.
We call upon woman, whose sisters lie would
thus deliver back to shame and infamy as well
as cruelty, to shun them as they would loath-
some adders; and we charge and adiure all
parents to teach their children to dread and
avoid them, much more than thoy would tho
the robbcr, or the midnight as
sassin.
A. Resolrod, That tho imprisonment of WM.
il. CHAPLIN in tho city of Washington for Mt
tempting TO remove certain slaves from thence,
that they might be free, would deepen the
shame and guilt of this Nation, only that tho
measure OF its guilt and shame was full TO
oycrfowing before; and whilo we extend 10
him our most heartfelt sympathy, we will, on
tho altar where he is thus inundated for an act
OF Christian kindness and love. renew our con.
socration to tho great and glorious work ofshiv-
ering 70 fragments a government and Union
that thus makes the holicst decd that man is
able 10 perform hcnous crime
D. Rcsoired, That John Mclean, Of Ohio. n
Judge OF tho Supreme Court OF the United
States, by his flaming zeal in deciding fugitive
slave cases in favor OF tho tyrant and ravishcr,
anu against the victim and the rayished, and so
running oy heavy fines and costs many of the
