ing with John Brown was held in Cincin-
natl on Sunday afternoon, at o'clock, at

ifud lIII at0 ara "pr -~l Of the motives Of old
John Browns act.
Resoived, That these motives do equal honor toI
bis manhood and his love of freedom and showed
clearly the of duty under which he was everI
ready to live and die.
RESOLVED, That the institution of slavery, inI
conflict with which John Brown offered up his
life, never had, has not now, and never can have
any foundation in justice, but is only the result of
force and of fraud differing in no respect of prin-
ciple from the early bondage of Western Europe!
or from the serfdom Of Russia, which are con-
demned by the voice of history as crimes against
human nature,
Resolred That the principle Of slavery stands inl
such irreconcilabe conflict not only with the prin-
ciple of the Republic, but also with the cause for
which the fathers of the Republic fought, that the
one can only exist through the denial or destruc-
ton of the other.
RESOLVED, That such an Interpretation of the
Constitution as to acknowledge the rghtfulness of
the existence of slavery is an infamy, and an in
suit to the fathers Of the Republic in their graves

Union at the expense ofthe declared principles of
the Republic-whieh are founded upon humanl
rights-and at the expense of the rights guaran-
tced by the Constitution, the sanction of slavery
is secured at the enormous sacrifice of human
freedom and at the risk of its entire destruction in
tbs part of the world
Resolved That tho act of John Brown has pow
erfully contributed to bring out the hidden CON
seriousness of the majority of the people as to the
principles involved, and compelled the masses to
come out of their INDIGESTION, and declare them
selves for one or the other side; only by such al
universal discrimination of parties is the freedom
of the Republic to be secured; and that by his
act John Brown has entitled himself to the appro-|
val and the reverence of all the freemen of theE
Republic.
Rcsotred, That the genuine greatness and char
acter of John Brown signalzed as well through
the motives of his act as through the actual re
suits Of the same, and in the manly devotion and|
tranquil courage which he afterwards confronted!
his fate, converting that which was intended to be
death fshame into an honorable and glorious|
martyrs DEATH

thy to assume place among the fathers of the
