Excerpt from Annual Report Presented to the American Anti-Slavery Society, by the Executive Committee: At the Annual Meeting, Held in New York, May 9, 1855; With an Appendix Thigs had the predominance at that time, after some prudent hesita tion, lest an emphatic expression of indignation might enure to the benefit Of the Abolitionists and Free Soilers, at last passed a series Of strong resolutions, by the unanimous vote Of the Senate, and with a very few negative votes (of Adamantine Democrats) in the House. The Legislature Of Connecticut, also, passed a series of manly and comprehensive Resolutions, as her Protest against this wickedness, by a vote Of16 to 1 in the Senate and by an overwhelming majority in the House. During all this time, too, the voice Of the Press was mainly heard on the side Of freedom and justice. The great deeps Of Northern feeling seemed to be stirred up and to threaten fearfully, in case the will of the people should not be obeyed. That the great majority Of the people were opposed to this new outrage there is no reason to doubt. The result was only a fresh proof how impotent are Northern majorities against the chicaneries and trickeries Of Slaveholding politicians and their tools, at lashington.
