Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1850-1854, 1852-05-21

Resolved, that slavery is a stupendous system
of fraud and force, having no rightful existence
any where-ihat it has no more rirht in the
South than in the North-no more in Kentucky
than in Ohio-and that the trade in which it orig
mated was never legalized-and that both sla-
very and the slave trade ought every where TO be
regarded and treated as a system of lawless vio-
lence.
Resolved, that there is a law higher than all
the enactments of human codes-throughont the
world-the same in all time, and by that law, IN
changable and ethereal. MAN cannot
hold property in man )" and that when the Stat
utes oflegislatures subversive TO this "higher
law, it becomes the duty of good citizens to re-
gard them as the edicts of foul conspirators a.
gainst the rights and liberty of all mankind
Resolved, That siaveholdng is the great dis
turbing force in the American government, that
while that wicked practice continues, peaceful
and harmonious legislation will be impossible;
that slavery is in its nature opposed to the office
and authority of civil government, and that until
the whole slave system is abolished, and the
weakest and humblest inhabitants Of the land are
clothed with their natural liberty protected in
their persons and property our national govern
ment will not have exerclsedts proper functions,
fulfilled the conditions of its existence, nor per-
formed the solemn oath under which il Is consti,u.
ted.
Resolved, That as for the Fugitive Slave Act,
we ioathe and detest it, and will destroy it that
the painting fugitive shall never need bread when
we can give it, nor shelter when we can afford it,
nor help in his flight when we can render it and
we will hold in utter adherence the heartless
man hunter, whether he comes in his own, or
in the name of the United States
Resolved, That the past actions and present
indications of the Wing and Democratic parties
alike forbid the hope, that either OF them can be
won to the cause OF freedom by voting aud other
wise acting with them, tina; they are both sold
and bound to the slave power, and are not to be
wed by the friends of emancipation, but abandon
ed mot to be preserved, but broken up and des-
troyed !; for the reason that while they exist as
national parties, they must look for success by
means the votes and cooperation of slavehol-
ders, and will be controlled by shareholders.
Resolved, That the Wing and Democratic or
CARNATIONS have outlived the questions which
called them into life, and organised their forces
under their early champions and that they have,
therefore, no apology for their existence, thus
heightened out beyond their time, have the tradi-
tionary reverence of their votares for names un-
der which they once battled.
Resolved, That these organizations, headed by
ambitious and mcrcenary leaders, are pitted a
ganst each other in a mere scramble for place
and power, and that an unqualified and bare face
ed submission to the behests of slavery in all
things is the indispensable and openly avowed
condition upon which their existence can be
maintained.
Resolved, Therefore, that these organizations
are not parties, but factions, the great bane of
republics, and that every lover of his country
should labor by all honorable endeavors for their
overthrow not only because they are factions,
but because they necessarily involve their sup
porters in the guilt of saveholding, and thus be-
come the strongholds of slavery
Resolved, That slavery in this country is not
Southern, but National, all parts of the country
being implicated in its guilt and bound to help
in its overthrow.
Resolved, That he is n STAKEHOLDER, whether
daring to hold his brother as property or not,
whose doing or whose not doing makes it easier
tor the oppressor to keep his prey, or harder for
the oppressed to recover his rights
Resolved, That any State which permits one
man to use over another, within it's Jurisdiction,
power derived from and dependant on the re-
lation Of master AID slave, is a slavehodng
Ssate
Resolved, That tried by this standard every
State of this Union is slaveholdng State, und
the vast majority of the people, North as we'll as
South, are Shareholders
Resolved, That our sympathies are with the
oppressed OF nations-that the cause of Hun
gary is dear to us-and that wherever man is
trodden down, and the tyrant is exalted, we
love the oppressed and loathe the tyrant, and up
on the same principle we plead the cause of the
ensaved OF our own land against their murder
Gus holders.
Resolved, That the cause of oppression, as
the cause of freedom, is one, the world over
And tina. this truth has been amply illustrated by
every step of the progress of Louis Kossuth
through the slave States.
Resolved, That considering the large expert
ence of the lustrious patriot, in the dungeons
Of Austria, his knowledge of the natural sympn-
thies of tyrants and oppressors with their kind, |
all over the globe, it is passing strange and much
TO be regretted, that he did not the absurdity
OF going on mission of liberty among slavehol- |
ders, and have saved his cause the damage, and
hmselfthe degradation which has befaen it and
him.
Resolved, That tie immediate abolition Of sla-
very, not only in the District Of Columbia and
the Territories, but in every State in the Amer
lean Union, is a constitutional as we'll as NOR
al duty, and that its faithful execution Is mpos-
ed by oil the declared purposes Of the Consttu-
ton upon the Federal Government.
How TO NULLIFY THE FUGITIvE SLAVE Law |
The Kenosha Democra! is entitled to a Icath- /!
ern medal for his discovery of new method of
quoting our Southern brethren, aid rendering
the Slave law q nullity. 1t is ''to kill off the
abolition party"-the majority of voters in this
District-and "bruise the head of the serpent as
dead as snelt and with it destroy all motire
10Th Southern men for the recovery Of q slare.
