| Art. l. This association shall be known by

| the f, zee States has been turned into hunting
! or 5und for fugitives, and may be desecrated
with impunity in all ways, and at all times by
! the " Legrees and Lockers of the South,
who are on the scent for human victims or
human blood and whereas the very compro-
| misses which were designed to give the North
rest and quiet, have been sacrilegiously inya-
ded by the shareholders aud their doughfaced
tools of the North, and every village aud
hamlet of the free States is liable to be dis
turbed by the baying Of the hounds and the
| crack of the slave drivers lash Therefore
be it
Reso1ved That we as FRBEMEN can and will
stand it no longer.
Resotced That henceforth we shall know
| none but freeInen in the North and all who
reach our State shall be as secure as though
they were already treading the flee soil of
Canada.
ResolUed. That since the issues CT the old
parties are lett out of sight in the crusade for
slavery which has been set up, we can leave
them out of sight also, until liberty is again
restored as national principle, and that here
after we will know no issue at the ballot box
paramount to the great principle Of human
freedom as defined in the Declaration of In
dependence.
Resotoed, That our advice to every United
States officer in Wisconsin, whether he be
Judge, Commissioner, Attorney Marshal,
is that he give up the dehumanizing and exc
cradle business Of assisting in the return of
fugitive slaves, or resign his Office. and pursue
at least respectable business for his daily
bread.
Resoleed, That in adopting these resolutions,
we are neither " trifing" nor .insane," but
living, we will practice them, and with our
dying breath WE WILL BEoUEATH THE sENTI-
MENTs THEY CONTAIN TO OUR PosrERITY.
