ETY., that /" il is not properly speaking, an An

with many other similar allegations there
fore,
10. Resolved, That tins Convention SOL
emmy declares to the people of England and
Scotland, that the Rev. Asa Muhun, in thus
chnrHctCriZing the American Anti. Slavery
Society, is guilty of the vilest misrcpresen-
tation, in coverly circulating charges which
we verify believe he knows 10 be fnlse, which
we defy him 10 prove, which find no credence
IN this country except auUng the enemies OF
the Anti-Slaycry cause, which even the cam
did aud enlightened among them reputiate
with contempt, aud which the corrupt sects,
lcagued with Slavery, have, ior twenty years,
used as II sialkmg-llorse To divert public at
teniiOn from their guilty completely with the !
traiiccrs in human flesh.
IL. Resolved, That we appeal to the his |
tory of the American Ant-S.avcry Society, |
and lis action, from the time of its origin to
the present hour, in proof that its "iniidelny" |
consists in this-in maintaining against the |
priesthood of the land, that the Bible is an
Anti-Sluyery volume; that tho church of
Jesus Christ gives no sanction TO slavholders |
and admits no shareholder to its communion;
aud that they, who, occupying the pulpit,
'lN hflbN ~ Wv Iitctllti VI lulS SUM VI an |
yinnics," or pallaie its continuance, are
not the ministers of Jesus Christ.
Is. Resolved, secondly, That the no
governmcniism" of the American Aml-Slav-
cry Snceiy consists in ths-,hnt while the
Constitution and tho laws of the nation com
mand It's citizens to proicci,hy physical force,
the slayeholdcr Ugninst his slave, and TO aid
him in hunting the fugitive who has escaped

additional political power in proportion to the
number Of their slaves, it maintains that no
Christian, no Abolilionist, can consstcn,l;
take an oath TO support such Constitution

gard of their requirements and penalties, to
hide the outcnst, and obey God rather than
man.
49, Resolved, Tint ",he head and front
our offending" as pertaining to Christi
anity and Government, hath this extent-no
more"
90 Resolved, That this attack of Mr..
hahan is all the more daslardly, from the
consideration that, while present in meetings
Of the American AntiSlnyery Society, and
engaged in discussions with its Agents, aud
even its President, William Lloyd Garrison,
in regard TO its principles aud measures, lac

81. Resolved, That in reiterating, especi-

Parker Pillsbury, in regard TO The baptism of
certain dogs, which has been so repeatedly
and publicly contradctcd aud disproved, in
