RESOLUTIONS.

! l. Resolved, That the experience of twent,
years has confirmed our faith in the Fundamental
! PRINCIPLES of this Association, and streng. theme,
our confidence in the measures by which il lfn,
sought to promote its object, the entire abolition
American slavery.
2. Resolved, That we trace with Joy and graft
tude the progress of the Anti-Savery enterprise,
from the hour Of its inception to the present time;
and that we hail glorious result Of the long
continued and earnest labours of Abolitionisa the
moral and political revolution upon which this na-
ton has now entered.
g. Resolved, That the system of American sla-
very is organized despotism, which reduces TO
the condition Of chattels nearly four millions of
human beings on our Southern soil and seeks to
subju gate the whole North to its mperious will,
the utter destruction Of free press free speech,
and free thought.
H. Resolved, That we see overwhelming proof
of this, in the aggressions which the Slave Power
has steadily made upon Freedom, viz, in demand
ing and securing for itself nearly the whole Of our
acquired territory: in treacherously violating the
Missouri Compromise, and opening our whole
northwestern territory to slavery; in demanding
that Shareholders shall be permitted to carry their
slaves into the free States, when and where they
will holding them there in defiance Of the laws Of
those States; in persecutng to the extent of its
power, every man who dares to speak or act
against its authority; and lastly, in the ruthless
war which it is waging against the iIeemen Of
the Territory Of Kansas
5. Resolved, That in so far as the Republican
party is protest against the aggressiOns of the
Slave Power, and is steadily resisting them in one
direction we rejoice in its existence; but inasmuch
as it acknowledges allegiance to the Constitution OF
the United States, which requires the rendition OF
the fugitive slave, and pledges the strength of Nor
thern irecmen against the insurgent slave, We, as
true Abotionists, cannot stand upon its platform,
and are bound to rebuke its mpromses with op.
preston.
6. Resolved, That, rs Peunsyyanians, we rcrow
our protest against the insult offered to the dignity
of our Common wealth, IN the unlawful imprison-
mcnt of Passmore Williamson by Judge Kane:
and that we regard it as the dnty of every Penn.
svlvamian to demand, OF the Senate of the United
States the impeachment of the said Kane, that he
may be removed from the Judicial sea. which he
has so deeply disgraced.
7. Resolved, That while we rejoice in the i'm
proved spirit and tone of many of our leading
journals, we deeply deplorc the unmanly subser
viency to the Slave Power and the intense hatred
to the principles of true freedom. manifested by u
large portion Of our political and religious press
without distinction Of sect or party.
8. Resolved that We regard the National Anti.
Slavery Stan lard as a journal eminently deServ-
ing the confidence and patronage of the public,
for its faithful advocacy of the highest ant!-sla-
very doctrines, and the literary ability with which
it is edited and that we urge upon the Abolition
lists Of Pennsylvania the importance of extending
its circulation as widely as possible.
9. Resolved That we recommend to Abolition lists
generally, to maintain their consistency, by en-
deavoring to abstain from the purchase and use Of
the products of the slaves unreQuited labor.
10 Resolved, That, from our past experience,
and from the present signs Of the times, de-
Al. 1
that we go forth to the abours of another year,
confident of the complete and final triumph of
Truth over Falsehood of Good over Evil, Of Right
over Wrong.
