repeal, or that of its odious and unjust pro-
visions.
5. RESOLVED, That the act of Judge Kane, of
the United States Court for the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania, in issuing writ of habeas
corpus, as a means for reducing again to Sla-
very persons who were lawfully made free by
the acts of their former owner, was q gross
usurpation of authority, not given to him by
the Constitution or by any law whatever; that
his committing to prison, without bail or main
prize, as for contempt, freeman, who had
made true and respectful return to his writ,
was daring and unrighteous abuse of power,
which deserves the condemnation of all lovers
of Freedom and Justice; that the declaration
made by him. that by national law a slavehold-
er may freely take his slaves across a free
State, and yet retain his power as master and
owner over them, any State law to the contrary
Notwithstanding, is in defiance of the decisions
of the ablest jurists of all States and all times;
and all attempts to practice in accordance with
so monstrus doctrine, SHOULD meet with de-
termined resistance by all the inhabitants and
authorities of the free States.

RESOLUTIONS.
Reported in the Senate Of Vermont, by a Special
Committee, November Is, 1856.

l. ReSolced That on the extension of Slave
ry by the authority or connivance of the Ma
tonal Government, into any Territory by nature
or by law free from that great curse of human
ity, VERMONT has no new doctrine to profess
no new sentiments of adherence to make
known. She always has protested against it /:
she protests against it now; and she intends to
resist 1t by all the lawful and constitutional
means in her power
2. ReSoloed, That the people of Kansas, in
vited to settle there by the acts of the National
Government yet left wholly unprotected from
lawless invaders, who by force and arms. usurp-
ed the powers which had been given only to its
proper inhabitants, did right to disavow all al
legiance TO the body which their invaders placed
over them; that, in considering themselves as
without law, and therefore proceeding to organ
lie themselves as a political community they
exercised the rights which God has given to
all human beings so placed
3. ReSOtred, That the people of Kansas, act
ing under Constitution framed by themselves
in an orderly manner, and sanctioned by q ma
jority of its adult male inhabitants, may right
fully request Congress to admit Kansas to the
Union as a free and sovereign State; and if it
shall appear that their Constitution is of re-
publican form, and inhibits Slavery in that
State for time to come, then such admission
ought to take place; and the Senators and Rep
resentatives of Vermont are instructed and
urged to vote for it accordingly
4. ReSolged, That the Fugitive Slave Law of
1850 is violation of the Constitution, an insult
to the free States an outrage On the rights of
man, and disgrace to the statute book of the
nation; and the people of Vermont will indig-
nantly rebuke any Senator or Representative
