I no eye should grow brighter no man stronger, no
heart hopeful, yet would hope in the justice OF
the great Eternal II is eighteen hundred years
since Jesus of Nazareth walked by the sea Of Gal
lice and snid, Whatsoever yo would that men
should do unto ynu,do yc even 80 unto themD Since
}. then, lSO0 suns have risen and set, and three
lourths Of the whole world have never heard Of
Jesus.
Because in eighteen hundred years christianity
has not conquered, do the missionaries falter or
despair? Docs the mother cease to teach her child
, its truth? Every truth comes from God every
truth is cicrnoli wars and rumors of wars affect it

place, and not all the tumults Of the world ol

who only shade darker than himself, and
who was kidnapped to be sold into Slavery in tho
South, but who afterwards escaped. Mr. w. stated
that he was believer in the Bible, and could see
no hndcrancc to his working in the anti-slavery /
cause, because there were those engaged in its al
yocGcy of all opinions, and was afraid there were
pro-slaycry seeds lurking in the bOsoms Of those
who make these objections! After alludng to !
Noah, WHO preached 100 years, he asked how many
ministers Of this great and growing city were
present, and would like to n resolution passed

present, and so much enthusiasm manifested.
The President of the meeting stated that there
were fourteen Methodist ministers besides others
Of various denominations present and he would be
glad to hear some Of them speak.
Rev. Mr.. Parker followed with few brief per-
tinent remarks, in advocacy of the anti-slayery

Resolved, That since slavery is always and
everywhere Il sin against Cod and crime against
man, since il is always and everywhere u curse to
the soil upon which it is established, a fruitful
source Of evil, having no rightful existence any
whore in the world, against which every lust prin-
cpc in the universe is perpetually arayed, there
can be no compromise with it which does not nee
cssarly involve a concession Of rights to wrong
sacrifice of principles to the lowest exrcdioncv.
and that therefore, we are utterly and inypoibly
opposed to all such compromises, rs inconsistent
with genuine anti-slaycry and denoralizing IN
their tendency and practical results
ResUlycd That in seeking to repudiate that Of.
tho Missouri Compromise which rcslric,s slavery
to the South Of see 3O' of North latitude in the
territory acquired by the purchase Of louisiana,
alter having tully secured the advantages which
originally induced them to become parties to IT,
Shareholders are acting entirely consistent with
the genius Of their Institution; that Injustice
fraud, and robbery, form the groundwork of tho
slave system that Shareholders may not be cx- /
peccd TO rise above their pluudering business that
the moral and social atmosphere Of Shareholders
is wholly uniayorable 10 the growth of common
honesty, and as men may not gather grapes Of
thorns, nor figs Of thistes--so the people of the
North are again taught the folly Of confidence in
the faith Of men who have perscveringlv broken
faith with God by the cnslayement of his children.
Resolved; That the present attempt to introduce
slavery into Nebraska is but step in series of
aggrossiOns upon the right and liberties of Amer
lea, and one more act Of subseryency on the parl
OF Northern politicians with Southern principles
that the passage of the Nebraska Bill will giyeto the
South such additional representation as to reduce
the North to hopeless political yassillagc, and thus
enable the Shareholders to use us as their instru-
ments to annex Cuba, conquer Mexico and cventu-
ally to restore the foreign slave trade and African
ize the western Hemisphere
Resolved, That the North, having majority of i
two in the Senate and ffty-sx in tho House Of !
Representatives is responsible for the extension of
slavery that tho politicians are but the echo of the
people, that the true of their degradation is /
the pro-slavery sentiment of the American people, {
and that the only hope Of National regeneration is
the creation Of public sentiment true to the prin-
ciples of justice and humanity. n
Resolved, That while the general government
permits the introduction of slaves into tho terrific.
res allows their transportation undert the National
flag the ocean, and alongOur rivers maintains Ia
slavery IN the District OF tolnmbla ana endeaYOrs il
to enforce the Fugitive Slave bill, every citizen of
the United States is, to that extent directly respor
sible for the existence and participation in the guilt
Of Slavery
Resolved, That tho province Of tho General Gov
ornment is yto establish justice and secure the
blessings Of Liberty" that we therefore demand h
The prohibition of Slavery in all the Territories of
he United States, its abolition in the District Of \
Columbia the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Bill, a
md the prohibition Of the inter State Slave trade
upon the ocean GLd on all the National highways. t
