Abolitionist Convention

-Consideration of a proposal to create a political party that shall run candidates advocating the immediate abolition of slavery throughout these States.

-Consideration of a proposal that we support a movement sponsored by one Henry David Thoreau to cease paying our taxes to this Government of Slave Owners, even if we must go to jail as a consequence.

-Consideration of proposal that our organization fight for the emancipation of the enslaved – Negro and Women – with equal vigor and immediacy.

-Consideration of a proposal that the Northern free states secede from the Union because the U.S. Constitution has been from its inception a pro-slavery document.

-Consideration of a proposal sent to us in secret by a free Negro who is currently planning to seize a federal arsenal in an unspecified border state by armed force.  His intentions are to create a general slave uprising within that state which will free that state.  He wishes to know if we will:  A)Send him money to aid his cause.  B) Send him men among you ready to fight.

After consideration of these proposals and a vote on the same, the meeting shall be adjourned.
