Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Ohio State Christian Anti-Slavery Convention, Held at Columbus, August 10 and 11, 1859 Pursuant to previous notice, a Christian Anti-Slavery Convention met at teno clocit in the morning on Wednesday, August 10, 1859, at the Congregational Church in the city of Columbus, Ohio. A preliminary organiz ition was effected by electing A. A. (iL TORie, Esq. of Putnam, Chairman, and H.B. Spelman, of Cleveland, Secretary. The call under which the Convention assembled was read as follows: State Christian Anti-Slavery Convention, To be held in Columbus, 0., Wednesday and Thursday, Aug.10 and 11, 1?59.To Anti-Slaveuy Christians Thuougiiout the State: The present aspects of the great controversy between Freedom and Slavery in our country, earnestly cull for more thorough aggression and systematic action on our part. The African Slave Trade which by the law is piracy is revived, and there is not sufficient active moral power in the nation to extinguish it. Southern Churches have generally apostatized to the open justification of Slavery, and Northern Chrisiiaus are sadly rcuaiss in duty wi hrespect to opposing it. Southern States are expelling or enslaving their free colored population, and N:-rthern States allow their colored citizens to ba kidnapped under the provisions of the Fugitive Act. The Fugitive Act is pronounced Constitutional by the National Courts. S.ime of our mos, virtuous and respected citizen.s are imprisoned bjcause they could not quietly stand and see a neighbor kidnapped and dragged into hopeless bondage, and our State Supreme Court, in deference tu precedent, has refused to pronounce the law unconstitutional. According to the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, Slavery is extended to a!! our territories by virtue of the Cotistituiion, and neither Congress nor the people has power to prohibit it. And while all this is passing, the party in power is straining its energies to acquire new territory for the expansion and development of the great evil. To meet the dtmands and agressions of the Slaveholding power, the Freedom loving element of the nation has no great, Christian, earnest, systematic agency.
