GARRIsoNIAN DIsUNIoNIsM, &C.-Our
friends of the Garrisonian communion ask us
to publish the following resolutions, which
were adopted at their meeting, last Sunday.
We are sorry to know they are capable of such
misrepresentation as appear in the third re
solve, not to speak of what may be found in
some of the others. AS for the last resolve,
we have heard so much from that quarter, in
the same strain, that it does not astonish us.
The writer of it, we shall regard as entirely
beyond hope, until he becomes ashamed Of
such things. But here are The resolutions =
Resolved That slayeholding is a heinous crime
against God, and 1agrant wrong to man. and that
nOw as heretofore, rely with confidence, for its
removal, solely upon the application of Gods truth
to the hearts and consclences OF the American peo
pie.
Resolved That if slayeholding is a crime, then all
shareholders and their abettors criminals; and
that personal honor, alike with every instinct of
justice, humanity, and religion, demands the imme-
date remuneration of all compacts and compromises
with them as utterly immoral and vicious; and
hence that the leading churches of the north in fell
Owshiping Shareholders, their apologsts. and the
supporters of a slayeholding government,
ant to their high trust, and wholly unworthy the
support of religious people; and that the American
Union in its inception, Its growth and its present
FORM Is remOrseless sacrifice of the rights and lib
critics of the black man, gigantic conspiracy
against justice and u cd, covenant with death and
an agreement with he'll to be at once and forever
annulled.
Resolved, That since the republican party claims
to share and aspires to control government, of
which John Quincy Adams said, ''thc preservation,
propagation, and perpetuaon OF slavery is the vi
tai and animatlng SPIRIT since 1t recognizes and is
pledged to enforce all the bloody compromises of
the constitution, the immunity and protection of
slavery state institution, the suppression of all
slave Instructions, and the recapture of fugitive
slaves; since Abraham Lincoln is the author of
fugitive slave bill whose unprOYoked and unconsti-
tuiional atrocity even Senator Mason was not base
and heartless enough to copy; and SINCE if not the
open defender certainly he is the persistent apollo
gist of slavery i'll the District Of Columbia, the inter-
state slave trade the admission of more slave states
and the dstranchisement OF the black man under
state legislaton.-the cause of impartial freedom
has little to hope and much to fear, from the tri-
| umph of that party.
Resolved, That the recent signal failure of the
Methodist general conference, at Buffalo, to apply
the Gospel OF Jesus to shareholders, tramplng under
| loot the suffering and dumb" bondmem, while re-
celVlng, with distinguished honors, Willard Fillmore
VINO signed the horrible fugitive slave bill of 1850,
iuy Justles the charge OF the aboitionss that the
| Methodist church north is prO-slayery, and proves
that far from being a Christian church. il has not
vitality enough, is too morally corrupt and imbecie
to purge even itself of the tOulest denomination of
| the age.
i'll itself bloody and unmitigated despotism and
must be so, as well under a republican administra-
| uon based on the Chicago platform, and the doc
| trlnes ana declai atoms Of Abraham Lincoln as
under the execution OF the democracy OF the pres
ent, or the wing or federal parties of the past: bnt
| we hereby solemnly affirm that no fugitive slave law
shall ever be executed where we can aid in tramp
| mig 1t down, no matter who is president or what
party is in power. Nor shall any sable Washington
or black Gafibaldi fail in nsurrectonary attempt
| to deliver himself and his fellow victims from
| slavery for want of our sympathy, or any aid
| which we can conscientiously render And nv nil
the hallowed memories OF Latay ette, should more
John Browns be sacrificed in heroic efforts for their
deliverance their well merited praises Shall be sung
| among the natlons and out OF grateful hearts, we
| will rear them monuments, that shall stand and
| shine amid the generations, when old lime shall
| have mown down the proudest marble, and tram
| pied out the most enduring brass.
Resolved, That the hypocritical pretensiOns of
some OF the religious bodies and journals to anti
| slavery-such MS the Methodist Episcopal church.
| the so~called Church Anti. Slavery Society, the
American Missionary Association the Boston 4 mer-
lean tract Society, and the New York independent,
are even more TO be dreaded than the open spite OF
te oder but scarcely more guilty ecclesiastical or
| ganlzatlOns and we would eNhort all truly anti
| slavery men and women, who have been beguiled by
or INTO them, to abandon such connections as
Among the least strongholds and bulwarks of Slave
| ry.
Resolved, That in the two recently published
| speeches OF Charles sumner see the binding,
| bewllderng and depraving effect of American po-
ucs ana OF contact with slayeholders-the former
made in the u. ). Senate being four hours arpu.
ment against the omheaded Bar5arisDi Of slarery
and repudated by most of the leaders Of fepub
ISM and the latter full admission of the constitu-
| honality of sayehOding and an eloquent argument
in fave. of the election of Lincoln and amin both
| of whom believe in aare-hunting as well as slave
holding and who virtually declare in their platform
that the noble John Brown was one of the grayest
criminals who ever died by the halter.
