The Business Committee reported tho follow
| ing Resolutions.
| Resolved, That whatever strength mny be
given TO the slave system by the political ar
rdngements Of the country, these are as dust
in the balance in comparison with the reli-
| gious sanctions which are thrown around it
| by the pulpits churches, aud religious pres
ses of the country; and that, until these
sanctions are withdrawn, the cause of eman-
cipation can hope for 10 speedy or peaceful
| termination.
Resolved, That the precise value of the
current religion of this country-its zeal for
God, its concern for the heather in distant
portions of the earth, its rites and ceremo-
MES, its prayers and praises, its conversions
aud reviyals, its Subbaths and sanctuaries,
its appointed ieasts and solemn meetings-is
seen in the brutal degradation and cruel treat
ment ofthree millions of the people, TO whom
from whom the Bible and the common
means Of salvation arc withheld, whose toll
is under the lash and without compensation,
in whose bodies and spirits, as in cattle,
swine and cotton, an active commerce is cur
ried on to an enormous extent, and whose
chains are as CALLING and as firmly rivetlcd
on the Lords day" us they are on any 9th
er day.
