Resolved, That love to God and love to man demand of us-animatcd zeal, and untiring effort in the cause of Abolition. i 3.

Rtsofocdf-That a proper regard of out own rjgbts demands vf us that we vigorously oppose the further extension of American Slavery. 4, Rtsohed, That if there be any one feature in the system of American slavery, which is pre-eminently revolting to humanity, it is the international slave trade, by which hundreds of human beings, American horn, arc ttansportetl to Texas, and doomed to perpetual bondage in a foreign land. 5. Reso'ved, That it is the -duty of the members ot Congress from the non slave holding states, lo exercise the power they constitutionally possess of prohibiting by law this inhuman traffic. C.

Whereas knowledge is at the foundation of correct action on any subject and whereas, wc have good reason lo believe, that many of those op-poso our course, not only at South, but at the North, do it from ignorance of our principles, and of our object, therefore Resolved, That we highly approve of the resolutions adopted by the Vermont A.
