"The meetings Of the convention have bee:
largely attended, and the resolutions brought for
ward caused considerable discussion The fi
lowing preamble and resolutions have been pat
sed by the convention a. .slrF se
"Whereas the spirit Of MISREPRESENTATION has
recently been abroad with fresh maignity re
specting the principles and measures Of the Abb
litlonists, therefore, we renewedly adopt lie
language of the declaration of the National Anti.
Slavery Convention, held in this city, in 1888
Our principles forbid the doing Of evil that good
may come, and lead us to reject, and to entreat
the oppressed to reject, the use of all car,lal
weapons for deiiverance from bondage relginq
solely upon those which are spiritual and mighty
through God, to the pulling down Of strong holds
Our measures shall be such only as the oppos-
ton of moral purity to moral corrupton-the de-
sirhction of error by the potency OF truth-the
overthrow Of prejudice by the power of love--and
The abolition Of slavery by the spirit of repent
ance.'
g 'sResolDed, That the demands which we make
upon this nation, III the name of justice, and by
Divine authority, these: That all title Of
property III slaves shall instantly cease, because
their Creator'has never relinquished his claim Of
ownership, ana because none have a right to sell
their own bodies or buy those of their own spe-
cies That every husband shall have his own wife
and every wife her own husband, and be placed
under the protection of equal laws That to all
parents shall belong their own offspring, to bo
educated, cherished and reared in sthe nurture
and admonition of the Lord That all traffic in
human beings slull be regarded as piracy That
all those laws which now prohibit the instruction
OF the slaves shall be repealed, and Others enacted
providing schools for their intellectual and moral
culture. That the laborers shall receive a lust
compensation for their labors tt,a.
" ResolCed, That to say that these demands are
unjust or fanatical, that an immediate compG-
ance with them would be attended with disastrous
consequences to life and property, to the peace of
society and the safety Of government, is to deny
that man is man, that God is God, and to pro
claim the reign of violence, lust oppression,
atheism, and anarchy.
Resotoed, That at no former period in the
history of cause has our confidence in the
! immutable principles upon which it rests or our
faith IN its ultimate success, been stronger than at
| the present moment; and that, acknowledging our

permitting us to be coworkers with him in re-
deeming fellow men from the darkness and
degradation Of ofslavery, and for cheering us with 50
many tokens that our labor has not been in vain,
we here aVow our sincere and solemn determine
ton, undismayed by the frowns of sect and part,
the denunciations of the pulpit, the unrichteous
enactmeDts of Legislative bodies and the vitupera-
ton Of courts, and whatever perils it may be our
lot to encounter, 10 90 forward in the work %
well begun, and to preach the gospel of Anti
Slavery without ceasing, until every bondman be
set free, or end our duties ON earth
!" ResoiDed, That we heartily congratulate one
another, and the friends Of liberty throughout
the land upon the auspicious result of the recent
tr1at OF Castner Hanway; and that the efforts to
revive in this country the obsolete and infamous
doctrine Of constructive treason, and to paralyze
by the terrors Of the dungeon and the scaffold.
not merely the fugitive's cherished hope of main
GlhihS MS freedom, but even the liberty of tie
press and the freedom Of speech on the subject
of slavery have sgnally failed; and that, ia
the general rejoicing Of the people in view of this
result, we see an evidence of the progress of our
cause, and sign Of its future triumph
