y and i~nfexibly hostile TO the Anti-Slavery move
m%ent,are not only wholly undeser,ing of any pecu-
mary aid or public countenarce at the. North, out
cannot DC supported without connivinS at all the
wrongs aud outrages by which chattel slavery Is
l. characterized; and. therefore, ought to be instant
ly abandoned NY every one claiming. to be the
friend of liberty, and II disciple of Christ the Re-
Ideemcr.
d Resolved, That the attempt of the New York
u Independent, aud other religious journals, to shield
the American Board of Foreign Missions from
Anti-Slavery condemnation, aud to represent 1t as
occupying a sound position i'll regard to the enslav-
&c ed millions in our land, because OF Its action at
Hartford respecting certain laws in the Choctaw
nation, pertaining to the instruction OF slaves and
= free colored people in mission schools-is marked
= by fraud. iesuitism, and the supremacy of secta-
a. rian exclusi,eness over the instincts of humanity.

DR.. Nehemiah Adams, of Boston, during the pres
ent week, in this city, rs a member OF the Execu-
lie tive and Publishing Committee of the American
Tract Society, notwithstanding the publication of
10 bis infamous book, entitled A South-Sidc View Of
: Slavery wherein he ridicules the alleged suffer
y iugs and degradation of the slaves, represents their
y condition as almost an enviable one, and proclaims
G. a state of slavery to be signally preventive OF pau
!. perism. crime, mVbocracy and popular delusions,
and highly promotive of piety and its kindred
. ,irtues-tlat Society indicates IL depth OF deyGav-
ity, and a hardihood OF aspect, which no language
to is adequate to describe.
Resolved, That Liberty and Slavery are in their
nature antagonisms, which no power in the uni
verse can reconcile; and that any effort to make
peace, or to effect Il compromise between them. Is
n an insult to God, q crime against nature, and an
outrage upon man.
Resolved, That a Church or Government, which
=, accords the same rights and privileges to Slavery
as to Liberty, is a house divided against itself,
which cannot staud-is an attempt to pay equal
honor to Belial and to Christ-is inherently cor
rnpt and tyraunical, and deserving of universal
exscraIiun.
Resolved, That the flag under which three mil.
lions and II half of the people are held as chattel
slaves, aad driven under the lash to unrequ tied
toil-that the Constitution which grants to slave
breeders an increase Of political power, in proper
ton to the multiplication of their vietims-that
he the UniJa which is cemented with human blood
and perpetuated by a pledge of its entire militar,
and naval power to keep the oppressed IN then
" chat is a fag to be tramp'cdin the dust beneath th'
feet Of freegen; is a Constitution rightly de
T. scribed as a covenant with death and an agreemen
with he'll" and TO be given TO the consuming fire
in is Il Union to be assailed as the concentration AM
'sum Of all yilainies,' and utterly destroyed
Therefore,
Resolved, That the time is fully come to form
a. Northern Centederacy, in which no man shallb
bc held as a slave, nor allowed to be put on tria
before any tribunal GA the issue, is he a man o.
aIbeast, a freeman or q slavcF-ard III Nhfci

nd robbery, piracy ana murder.
Resolved, That in refusing any longer to be ii
alliance, either religiously or politically with thost
ry who trade an slaves and souls of men, instead 0
n. leaving the victims in their chains, and withdraw
in ing crom the struggle for their emancipation, w
Tn are performing the first imperative dnty, namely
