On motion of T. Quincy, the Resolutions
now before the meeting were laid on the table,
and Mr.. Quincy offered the following resolu.
tions:
Resolved, That while we regard with nh.
horrence the inhuman purpose of The recent
Secession Movement in South Carolina. 10
wit, the greater security of Slavery. we cam
not but perceive that its leaders and consiit-
uent members are the only public men and
the only political body in the country that
display courageous determination to main
tain what they esteem TO be their rights in
the face of tremendous odds, and that while
we dctest their object, we cannot butadmire
their spirit.
Resolved, That odious ns has been the
governing principle of South Carolina, for
the last twenty years, we cannot withhold
from her the praise justly due to her consist
ent maintenance OF the great cardinal doc
trine of the Right of Secession by the single
State; a doctrine vital to Liberty, and the
only safeguard of the several Sovereignties
from the tyranny of n crushing Centralza-
ton.
The question was taken, and the Resolutions
were adopted.
i. QUiNcY also introduced q Resolution
which he had Internationally omitted to intro
duce recommendotory of The LiJerator, Penn
sylraaia freeman, Ohio Bagie, and North Stcy to

sion, in the course of which T. Douglass said
his views as to the pro.slavcry character of the

radical change within few months.
