On--talking Of what has never beer, and in the

erthrow Of all the safeguards OF freedom 7-and,
consequently, is party neither to be trusted nor
! followed.
Resolved, That the glorious rnion,' ever since
its formation, has ,sgni6ed nothing but the ru-
premacy Of Southern slave oligarchy, as pnscruf
pulous in the attainment oftbeir object as land or

Resolved, therefore. That tie motto Of the
American Anti.Slavery Society. No Union with
Slave holders commends itself to the reason. con-
science, and hearty adoption OF every man claim.
ing to be loyal to the Declaration OF Independence;
and it becomes the solemn duty Of the North to
carry it into immediate practice, as demanded BY
every instinct Of selfpreserVation, and by all that
is obligatory in the claims Of Justice and humanity.
Resolved, That n. ldisiase can more truly de:
scribe the american Union in it's slaseholding
guarantees, than that used by the prophet Isaiah.
in regard to similar compromise with sin in his
own day. namely It is 4 covES&NT 3lTa bEATH,
AND AN AGREEMENT wifli HE'LL i and the warning
then given is as terrible prophetic Low,--'Thus

Resolved, That even il the Union were clear Of.
every moral stain, STILL to regard is psrpetGation
as Of the first IMPORTANT, and the preservation Of
liberty as Of minor con,idera tion, would indicate
absolute fituits OF mind and au idola,ry Of spirit

existing in Burmah or Hindostan; but. dripping as
liz is with the blood of four millions Of slaves
held in captivity by its collective strength and in
curdbIy infected as i, is with it's pro-savery com
promises. by which the whole country is slavishly
subj ugated and fearfully .dehonored, it deserves
to be execrated and assailed By every friend Of
God and man.

to be desperate faction. full of reasonable
intentions if they are not allowed to have their
own way.
Resolved, That we are ready to certify. that the
Republican party has never even msnaesd the ex'
isence Of the Union in any contingency; and that,
Of all the political parties that have set been or.
ganzed n this country, none have ever surpassed
the Republican party in its slavsh subssrViency
to the Union for while it is ouilawed in all the
South, and can neither hold meetings nor nomin:
ate candidates in that part Of the couhifS. and
while neither Mr.. Sewsrd nor Mr.. Samher. not
any other Of it's prominent men, is permitted
freedom Of speech south Of Msson's ahd Dixon's
line. it is still insaney engaged in gOrfying the
Union. and pIedSHg itself TO flown upon all at.
tempts to dissolve il.
Resolved, That the proposal Of the Republican
party 60 back in national policy to the days
of Washington eni Jefferson. is as wise as il
would ts. id case Of the universal prevalence Of

same experiment. to be tried over again, ~ many
times there sands on the sea-shovs, the same
results would inevitably follow. No strange thing
