Resolved, That If the sentiments contained in
tho Declaration Of Independence, that all men arc
created equal and endowed by their Creator with
certain inalicnablc rights, among which arc life,
liberty, and the pursuit Of happiness, are not
true, then werc our revolutionary fathers trail
tors TO their government, and deserving Of the
exccration Of the wise and good as much as Ben
cdct Arnold.
Resolved, That il those sentiments are true,
then in establishing government dcpriving a
portion of the inhabitants thereof Of all rights.
our fathers proved themselves hypocritcs Of the
darkest dye.

United States Constitution that requires the
delivery of fugitive slaves, and the legislation of
Congress based upon it, as void of obligation on
all people, affording protection only to villains
in great crime, that of returning the flying
bondman to the house Of bondage.

slave all tho rights that bolcng to Mason, Clay,
or Webster. and that our aid and sympathy in
his case shall not be wanting whenever fitting
opportunity may offer TO bcstow them.
Resolved, That the buying and selling OF hu-
man beings, or holding property in man, is vi
olation OF our most sacred rights and an evil of
the greatest magnitude.
Resolved, That the removal OF every obstacle
to Immediate and universal Emancipation is an
object worthy the aim of every lover OF human-

Resolved That in the eye of COP, whose
character and attributes arc Love, NOW Is
THE ACCEPTED TINE in which to labor for tho
overthrow OF oppression and the redemption Of
| the slave; and that those who with all the cvil,
of Slavery and the wretchcdncss of its victims
before them, profess to be waiting for some spe.

gaging in the cause, are false to the teachings OF
Gods Spirit in their own souls. and wanderino
in the mazos of Ignorance and suporstition.
