bury. Mrs. Harriet Tribbman q fugitive from
Slavery, also spoke in a most thrilling manner Of
her experiences in Slavery her escape, and her
wonderful success in leading others out Of the
worse than Egyptian bondage. We were told that
she had led more than q hundred and fifty into
Canada and that she was called Noses in some
places, from her remarkable deliverances of God's
people out of the hands Of Southern Pbaroahs.
Tho following are tho resolutions. The discus.
sions excited intense interest, you may well sup
pose.
FIRST SERIES.
Re,olred, That the American Slave System is
the 'sum of all villainies"-a compound of all
cruelties and crimes; robbery, adultery, piracy and
murder, and whatever else is impure, unholy and
nccursed.
Rcsoted, That shareholders as such, have no
rights which any human being is bound to respect
:" S'Sh AiOf HiuOity,OE NV pursuit VI uup-
piness--but while remaining in purpose and prac-
tice, Shareholders, they shall be regarded as Grim
mails and outlaws against humanity, whom Gen.
eral La Fayette, Capt. John Brown, or any other
righteous d~eliverer who believes ir forcible resist
ance to tyrauts, may lawfully and justly compel
to release their prey.
Resolved, That our governmental Union with
such slaveholders, is also . sin and crime-an
atheistic rebellion against every principle Of jus
tice and every law of nature and of God which
no possible circumstances should have warranted
in its formation, and surely, no conceivable condl-
tions justify in its longer continuance.
Resolved, That the first threat of disunion from
the South, should have been hailed with general
JOY by all the friends Of the enslaved inasmuch
as the only assurance for the continuance Of sla-
very. is in the support it derives from union and
alliance with the North.
Resolved, That the so-called governments of
the slave States are but organized bands of thieves
and robbers; living by plumber and piracy,
on the avails Of unpaid and onpitied labor, and
therefore:
Resolved, That il is the solemn and imperious
duty of the Senators and Representatives of the
non 'slaveholding States and Territories to return
at once to their respective constituencies, and take
immediate measures for the formation of O Ne,p
Northern Republic, that shall be indeed Free; an
asylum for the oppressed of all nations; uncursed
by the presence Of Shareholders, unstained BY the
blood Of slaves.
Resolved, That the church of the slaveholding
States that permits and practices the breeding,
buying and selling Of Gods own image, like cattle,
trampling down marriage and tho whole family
relations. forbidding it's own Bible and all other
books to the e~nslaved, is most emphatically, the
Synagogue Of Satan : and every church and
minister in the North that docs not SO regard and
treat it. is false to the Christian name and trust
and therefore unworthy of countenance, fellowship
or support.
Resolved, That cheered AMI encouraged BY the
experience of the last year. in our efforts to pro-
cure the enactment of a Personal Liberty Law. to
protect our State from the ravages of slave hunter
and Kidnapper, we will persevero in petitioniag
the Legislature, until an object, at once so just
and needful, shall be accomplished.
SECOND SERIES.
Whereas. By recent decisions of the Post Mas
ter General, northern newspapers have, in several
instances, been excluded from the mails aud post

Champions of Liberty, in both the Hemisphere.
Resolved, That the thanks of American aboli-
tionists generally are due to James Gordon Ben
nett, Esq, for So earnestly esrousing their cause
in this hour Of their trial and persecution by the
government. Nor can we refrain from expressing
our admiration at the almost superhuman skill
with which he is able to freight his columns week
after week, with what are called, the most 'trea-
sonabic. murderous, incendiary, infamatoyv, and
insurrectionary doctrines" and pour them all over
the South, as unmolested, as though they were

Resolved, That when Thomas Jefferson declared
that
