The following resolutions were introduced by the business committee, and adopted by the convention : 1. Resolved, That the revolting and most humiliating spectacle, that Northern politicians of both the old parties have again yielded to the haughty Southern demand, by placing two slaveholders before the country for the Chief Magistracy of this great Republic, is only an additionaJ ■evidence to the long continued list for 50 years, that the North is as a conquered province to the 3,000,000 voting Slave Power of this uation. 2. Resolved, That while the W_higs first intended ter "come it'r upon the Dempcrats, by getting up a slaveholder for the Presidency, to make sure of the South - the Democrats, determined not to be outdone in servility to Southern overseers, have finally "out-Herwed Harod," byputting in nomination a man, who is no only a slaveholder, but an immediate Texas annexationist, without waiting to compromise millions of money out of th pockets of Northern freemen, to pacify Mexico, as we have every reason to be lieve Henry Clay and the leaders of th Whig party would do, if they should fin the measure expedient to make their par ty stronger and more permanent. 3. Resolved, That the remarkable fact that no candidate for the Presidency except the noble and upright Birney, in expressing their views upon Texas, has ever named slavery as among the very least of their objections to its annexation to the Union, shows clearly, how utterly heartless they are upon the subjects of human rights and human liberty, and that they are, therefore, unworthy the confidence and support of a professed Liberty loving pepple. 4. Resolved, That wa will not vote for a slaveholder, advocate, or apologist for slavery, and slaveholding measures for any office, but will do all we honestly and honorably can to defeat their election, until our country shall be rid of its foulest curse - slavery - and all the bond and the nominally free shall rejoice together in one universal jubilee.5. Resolved, Thutknowingas we do that white the North have more than two freemen to the South's one, and furnish nine-tenthsof the sailors and soldiers, anc public revenufis of the country, the South have furnished the nation with its Chie Magistrate 43 out of 55 years, and have now two slaveholding candidates lor this high office - we respectfully suggest lo the people of the North, whether it woulc not be a great saving of time and expense hereafter not to go into a National Presi dential Convention, but leave the whole matter entirely to the mognanimity o our Southern guardians and overseers. 6. Resolved, Thnt sho'd the liberty par ty cease their self-denying and salutary ef forts, we have no reason to believe tha Slavery, the Annexation of Texas, or the adoption of any other slaveholding meas ure would be even spoken against, any more than they were before the Aboli tionists of the country commenced their eflbrts.7. Resolved, That as we love human liberty, and ardently desire thnt all innocent men in our country should enjoy it , and as we love our country, and desire to redeem it frora the great disgrace anc danger of sustaining the enslavement ol human beings, in any manner, whatever, we will, from this time to the November election, make every honorable and reasonable sacrifice in our power to elect the entire ticket we have thisday unanimously put in nomination. 8. Resolved, That we trust all our Libert' friends in the State will remember, that amid all the slander and cruel misrepresentations of our principies anc characters, from some of our bitter proslavery enemies, that, by the blessing of tho "God of the oppressed," our numbers have increased about TENFOLD in the State since the tornado of 1840, and that we confidently expect, if we all do our duty to the slave and the country, the ratio of increase in November next, since 1840, will amount toTWENTY FOLD! In this way "Abolitionisgoingdown" into the hearts of the people andupthrough the ballot box.Resolved, That the proceedings of this Convention be published in the Signal ot Liberty, and the Secretarles be a Committee to prepare them for publication. The Convention then adjourncd, highly gratified with the proceedings of the day, and inspired with renewed energy and zeal in the glorious cause of human liberty.
