the Committee have found themselves unable
to enter upon these promising Belds OF labor
They have felt it Of the utmost Impotence that
our Society, the only one in the West, profess
sedly maintaining the superiority Of truth over
organizations, and Of human liberty over Con-
stitutons, laws, and wicked eomPaotsv should
bo represented in every community.
Resolved unanimously, That the Report 81
the Executive Committee be adopted.
Parker Pillsbury, Chairmon Of the Busincss
Committee, presented the following resolutions
which were accepted:
Resolved, That we nro not merely war
ring against the extension Of slavery by the
acquisition of new shave territory, either
through purchase, fraud or conquest, nor
against any fugitive slave law, constitutional
or unconstitutional nor for the writ Of ha-
heas corpus, or the right of jury r' al for n-
captured slaves; but we are waging eternal
war against the doctrine that man can ever.
under any possibility Of circumstances, hold
properly in inan. And
Resolved, That any political party which
will hold Union with slave holders at ALL.
or recognize them as having any rights
whatever, more than have felons or pirates,
is an utter denial of the fundamental doc
trines Of justice and liberty, and daring re-
bellion against the government Of the Uni-.
verse.
Resolved, That the Free Soil pnrty vel.
comes the Shareholder to the government
platform with all his crimes; il recognizes
his right TO enslove millions of its and his
own equul brother, il says to him, Z" We ars
bound 10 you By most sacred ties tohieh zoe tOiU
dl,cdys respect, and zoe tOiH err sustain "hs
Union, hotcerer bounded" and hotcevr erten-
ded 6y fraud and fdtsehood toiOard The Indians,
or The pdnton, tciJfid murder Of Thousands upon
thousands Of Merlcdns: tce t0iH continue trus
and loyal TO that Union, as zoe haze euer been,
though Cuba and 81. Domingo icith all Merico,
sioeH its bloody trIumphs, and all their soil BE-
conSecrdfed 10 The curse and crimes Of slavery"
Resolved, That though we rejoice ia the
changes of public sentiment which are seen
in the partial successes of the Free Soil party,
we are still mindful that whoever holds Office
in The U. S. Government, is a sworn sup
porter oithe voice andaction ofthe majority in
this confederucy of plunderers g. enslavers of
human beings, whatever that voice or ac-
ton may be; whether il be TO seize and SUBJ
due new accessions Of territory from Mexico
or other nations, or TO carve that already
plnndered into new and numberess slave
states; and while that party is shouting over
its occasional, though uncertain triumphs,
we will still over aud above its exultatons
continue TO peal our all conquering motto,
mo UNION WITH SLAVE HOLDERS NOR sLA-
VERY"
Resolved, That we again renew our most
decided testimony against the Infamous and
cruel designs of the American Colonization
Society; n Society based on prejudice and
hate against large portion OF the human
race on account OF their complexion a So
ciety originating among shareholders, and
formed for the avowed object, (among
others equally atrocious,l of rendering slave
property more secure, and at the same time
with most uublusbing hypocrisy, pretending,
here ut the North, 10 be laboring
% overthrow slavery, and boasting that with
he cooniz1d slaves, who have ali their lives
been the victims Of the most benigbted ig-
lorance, compelled rice, and unpitied cruelty
md hate, from the baptized ruihans aud re-
'unlicans OF this country, 1t isto civilize and
'hrlstlaDlze the unknown millions of Africa,
md Claiming TO know and TO assert through
Is agents, that God has docreed and deter
mined that Africa shall be elevated and
'aved in no other way, and a society that on
he whole, most blasphemously denies tho
ioctrlne OF the equality and brotherhood Of
he race, and declares that not even christi
unity is able TO overcome prejudice and ha.
red against the African complexion; and we
hereby warn the colored population of the
and TO beware of it as roaring lion that
yoeth about seeking whom of them il may
ievour, and the friends of tho coored
people against being deceived by the spe-
'ious pretensions of this most llustrious in-
stance, OF the very prince Of devils transform
ng himself inIo an angel of light.
Resolved, That the American Government
md Union are a conspiracy against the rights
'f millions of the people, high treason to
usiice and liberty, and open and daring re-
oelion against the laws Of nature and of God.
Therefore
Resolved, That any church or church
member, minister or association Of minis
