The committee after a short absence re-
ported the following preamble and resOlu-
tons, which were unanimously adopted.
WHEREAS long continued course Of unlra-
ternal and oppressive conduct on the part
of large portion of the people of the
Northern States OF the Union, and partic-
ularly the acts of the Legislatures of the
States of Massachusetts, Michigan, YER
mont and Wisconsin, nulliiying and put
ting at naught the fugitive slave act, pass
ed by the national government; the at
tempt having been made by band of
Northern fanatics, having their head
quarters in Boston, receiving advice
and material aid from many parts of
New England, as well as from some
other non-slave holding States, Of this
union, sustained and stimulated in their
nelarious work, by many of the public
journals ofthe country, and whereas, the
speaking and publishing in the sIavehold-
ing States the freesoi and abolition doc
trine and sentiments of the aboitionists
of the northern States tending directly
to disunion,, and at the same time incul-
eating in the minds of our slaves, that the
system by which they are held in servi-
tude is morally wrong, and has tenden-
cy to excite and render the slave dissatis
fed with his situation, TO induce insubor-
dinaton, and fnot speedily checked bring
actual massacre and desoatlon upon all
the slaveholding States of the union:
And whereas it is now demonstrated that
the agitators of the slavery question in
Massachusetts and the other parts of the
union by their public resolves, in their
Legislatures, speeches and other public
meetings OF the people, have character
lied all Shareholders as outlaws and aliens
not within the protection of the constitu-
ton, and the laws of our country, in the
use and enjoyment of which is recognized
by the constitution and the laws of the
whole Union; and whereas those same
fanatics and marauders upon the constitu
tiOnal rights of the slave holding State
are now striving to inculcate the belle
that it is right in morals and religion, AM
doing Gods service, to steal and rob u
OF our slaves, and cause them to rebe
against their owners and to murder an,
massacre whole families, and lay vast
their homes if necessary to effect thei
wicked purposes; and whereas, it has al
ready come to pass, that people of th
slovoholding States can no longer travt
through the territories of the non-slavt
!, holding States of the Union with the
families and servants, without being sui
: jectcd TO insult, and outrage; having the
servants rescued from their lawful p,
session, and that too, in many instanc,
against the wishes and entreaties of Il
, servants themselves; and our public v
II makers and other functionares of Il
II Genenal government cannot now tray
to, or from the seat of the General go
ernment in the discharge of their repr
p sentative and other duties devolvil
" upon them as the organs of the peoT
r. without subjecting themselves and fan
70 hes to mob violence, and being robbed
their property3 and whereas no sla
n. holder has for some time past, been at
t 10 reclaim fugitive slave according
n the provisions Of the fugitive slave Ia
without subjecsing himself to mob Vi
lence and in some cases to murder:
Therefore Resolved.
