Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from First Annual Report of the Board of Managers of the Philadelphia Anti-Slavery Society: Read and Accepted at the Annual Meeting of the Society, July 4th, 1835 The Philadelphia Anti-Slavery Society was organized on the 30th day of April, 1834, and held its first annual meeting on the 4th of July following, at which time an Address was delivered by Charles Gilpin, Esq. The Society having existed but a short time, no report was then submitted by the Board of Managers. On the 4th of July, 1835, the Society met in the Musical Fund Hall; John Sharp, Jr. one of Vice-Presidents in the Chair. The Annual Report was read by Arnold Buffum, and on motion, unanimously accepted. Thomas Shipley then offered the following resolution: Whereas, The only true bond of union in human society is that of mutual protection in their natural and indefeasible rights; yet when, by a long course of oppression, one part of the inhabitants of a country have been deprived of their dearest privileges, Christianity requires that the oppressed refrain from physical resistance, and look only for redress to a peaceable amendment of the laws: Resolved, As the sense of this Society, that it is the bounden duty of every good citizen of the United States to aid, as far as in him lies, to procure the amendment of whatever, in either the Constitution or Laws, upholds the monstrous oppression of Slavery and the Domestic Slave trade. Charles Gilpin, Esq. rose to second the resolution and having made some appropriate remarks upon it, it was put to vote and adopted without a dissenting voice. Dr. Edwin P. Atlee then delivered an oration explanatory of the principles of abolitionists, showing the beneficial effects which their practical application would have upon the happiness and prosperity of our country. The Society then adjourned to meet at Clarkson Hall, at 8 o´clock in the evening. Eight o´clock, evening. The Society met pursuant to adjournment. John Sharp, Jr. in the Chair.
