RESOLUTIONS.
LIST. Resolved, That American slavery, is truly
what John Wesley pronounced it, The sum of all
Villanies:' that it degrades alike the master and
slave; converting the one into irresponsible ty
rants, and the other into brutes. That it violates
every principle of right, defeats every object o
our free government, and subverts the liberties o
whole people.
End. Resolved, That we are fully convinced O
the fact, that an irrepressible conflict exists be
tween the institutions of freedom and slavery
which can only terminate in the utter destruction
Oh ONO OF the Otuer OF tue COnulClilB Cleineu's'
Bird. Resolved, That American slavery, so fa
from tending to christianize the black race, has c
direct tendency 20 heathenize and ~paganize tn,
white race, destroy the intelligence and mordlit.
f Of all classes, and render the whole South a DO
bed, teeming with pollution and crime.
4th. Resolved, That all protested religion
churches that permit their members to hold slaves
! or in any other way sanction or encourage thi
, vile system of human bondage, are but stumbling
q blocks, and deserve the severe rebuke and indig
4 nation of a humane and christian people.
5th. Resolved, That the north does as much for tn
continuance of slavery as the south, hence it is tn
Il. duty OF all who know that that principle is righr
n which our fore. fathers so earnestly labored to Ell
tablisb, viz, that all men are created with certai
inalienable rights, among which are life, liberty
!, and the pursuit of happiness to at once discor
; meet themselves from all parties that fellowsl;
slavery.
9th. Resolved, That the Imprisonment Of Thad
deus Hyatt by the Senate Of the United States
for his conscientious refusal to appear as a witnes
before the committee appointed by that body, t
investigate the facts pertaining to John Brown
interruption in behalf of the slaves, at Harper
d Ferry, is a usurpation of power-an authority nc
conferred by the constitution, and a dangerous in
fraction upon the liberties of the people.
Il 7th. Resolved, That we give Mr.. Hyatt assui
ance Of our gratitude, for his brave resistance t
s this new exhibition OF the insolence of the slav
power.
