didn't inquire what they thought or did else
where. We gladly accepted their help or that |
occasion, and one Of them was among the most
able and efficient members Of the Committee.
In this Society, we have established and main |
tanned FREE PLATFORM; there has been pa
tience on it with every form of anti. slavery
Some have been offended on the right hand, and
fallen of-some on the left but the central bo-
dy, meanwhile, has moved on, straight and true
to its object, gathering from every quarter Others
in place of those who had fallen away. Let us
ever be able to say, that we have always been
wise and philosophical enough to keep our plat
fern and Society open to every honest man
to every one who hates slavery, and will work
for its overthrow. The sects tried to form an
Evangelical Union, and they took a Greed for
its basis; and It failed. The true basis Of every
vital organization is to be found, not in the creed
but in the spirit of its members.
The President presented the following reso-
lutions from the Business Committee.

the generally received Interpretation of the
Constitution, is TO promise aud swear support
TO slavery; and to adopt that Interpretation
which makes the Constitution thoroughly
anii.slavery, is virtually to abolish the Union
now existing, and put another in its place,
without frankly aud explicitly saying 50 at
the outset.
8. Resolved, That the events Of the past
year most distinctly reveal the truth, hnt on
ly the stern application OF Anti Slavery prin-
ciples to the teachings aud practices olChurch
and State, clergy aud politicians, eau save
the nation-if salvation he yet possible
from utter corruption aud ruin under the del
eterous influence of politics repudiatng the
Higher Law, aud theology subordnating God
to Congress aud the Constitution.

10. Resolved, That the unexampled cir

Committee =
III. Resolved, That we again brand tn
American Colonization Society as an unnal

nation-at the North, as full of all decevu

as directly tending to increase the value an
preservation OF slave property by the banisl
