the number of fngitives there was about
twenty thousand; they are of all ages and
capacities, men and women on whom the
corrupting and imbruting influence of Sla-

w. l.. GARRIsoN, from the Committee
on Business, reported the following Resolu-
ton.
l. Resolved, lin the language Of Daniel o.
Connolly That, Of all mon living, an American
citizen who is the owner of slaves is the most
dospcable; he is political hypocritc Of the ve-
ry worst description
2. Resolved, lin the language Of Lord
Brougham,) That, while men dcspise fraud,
and loathe rupine, and abhor blood, they will re-
ject with indignation the wild and guilty phau-
tasy, that man can hold property in man.
8. Resolved, lin the language of John Wcs-
ley,) That, Slavery is the sum of all villanies,
and American Slavery the vilest that ever saw
the SUM-
4. Resolved, lin the language of the Rev. Al
bert Barnes,) That, 'thcre is no power out oi
the church that could sustain Slavery hour,
If it wcro not sustained in it,
olitionsts consists, not in tho severity, but tho
justncss OF their language; not in the falseness
but the truthtulncss of their accusatons not in
the unsoundness, but the purity OF their princi
pics; not in the rashncss, but the wise adnpta.
ton of their measures to the glorious end they
have in view; and they arc hated, prosecuted
and traduced, solely because they plead for JUS
tice to a despiscd and prosecuted race; because
they will not compromise with sin, nor go with
the multitude to do evil because they maintain
that whatever arrays itself against human libcr-
ty is not of God; and because they declare that
religion which is stained with pollution and
blood, though called by the name of Christ, is
TO be repudiated with indignation and abhor-
renee.
6. Resolved, That he who processes to admire
the Declaration Of independence, and to revere
the memories of its signers, and at the same
time appeals to the Bible, as the inspired word
Of God, in support of the roctitude OF enslaving
human beings, proves himself as unprincipled as
the highwayman who pretends to regard homes
ty as OF paramount obligation.
7. Resolved, That they who reproach the Alb
olitionists for not so speaking against an alper-
vadng all-powerful national sin as to give no
offence; for not so contending with atrocious
tyranny as not to excite the displeasurc of the
tyrant; for not so managing their cause as tn
create no alarm and cause no agitation; for not
so making their accusations and uttering their
AcDukeo do W dNOlu III pCIoOnl HupultllOlS
for not so consulting prudent and judicious
policy as to avoid all Misrepresentation, reproacf
and persecution, do exhibit great ignorance, fol
ly and assurance. in requiring what is a mora
impossibilty, and pour contempt on the memo
rios Of the prophets, of Christ and his apostles
of reformors and martyrs in all ages OF tn
world.
s. Resolved, That while the general communit
may naturally view the recent conduct OF Dmi'
Webster with profound sadness and protoun
surprise, since the opportunity which the labo
of Others had gained for him was such as !
man in this country ever before enjoyed, and Il
good which one bold word from his lips, in b
half of Justice and humanity, would have dol
il incalculable; still, since the best service
influential man can do good cause is to give
his hearty support, the next best always is, tn
ho should openly oppose it, VIC feel that &
cause of Freedom owes Mr.. Webster thanks
least for the frankness of his treachery and 1
openness of his opposition.
0. Resolved, That the recent course Of
Webster is no matter of surprise TO us, since
have always found him, as to our question,
lent when he ought 10 speak, speaking when
ought TO act, and iorgetiul OF every pledge pl
cisely at that moment when tho promised du
was, ii ever, to be performed; with him it is
matter of course TO thunder pledges at Sprr
field which he dares not fulfil at Washington,
omit TO say at Washington what he dare
omit pfntinS at Boston, 20 nave q desk as i
OF amendments unohered as his life is of pledl
unredeemed, and, igniS fatmss like, to lead
TOO credulous retainers into tho fullest endor
ment OF the worst of measures and then slip
own neck free by charging mistakes upon
rcporters--that as to all such trihcs he may Fl
1y argue that the community have no right
be surprised, since habit is second nature, Q
rarely in his life has 'thc rigor OF war come
70 that lofty and sounding phrase of the ma
festo and that it is enough tor him to claiI
royal prototype in that Charles,
Whose word no man relied on,
Who never said foolish thing,
And ncyor did wise ono
10. Resolved, That in the letter of Dar
Webster, just published in reply TO certain
dorsers Of his evil course on the subject of S
very at Newburyport We rejoice in the cl
