given up to sp(yjatioI and,plundet;
to a horde of barbarous negroes,, in
cited and led ou by the worst llhite
men that ever imposed themiblvb s
upon any civilized country; and
W\hereas, That by their wholesale
and rapacious robbery, our- ipeople
have been reduced to wretchedness
and despair.&tud the Stgte brought to
ebanle; ad
, Whereas, Alreily rmany of .our
people, male and female, have been
atrociously murdered uaaid outtraged
by.them ; and that there is iow no
longer security for life or .property.
that masses, of negroes. are auniated
by an implicalle and deadlly iatred
of the whole whlit rimce, and are nidia
organizing with hostile attitOdO' and
desigl to 'purpetuate 'their Wicked
po'wer ia:thisState, anud .
Whereas, all things point untuis
takably to the aplialling fact that ef
forts a're being'inade to Africanize the

stern duty of all white men in, this
" State to unite inito one firm coinjiadt

honort and the ld'dperty of our Iwople,
P Resolved, That we accept wihuut
further hesitatiou,. the issue of race
forced'iipon us by tlhe insblent' and
barbarous Africans, and that we be
lieve a perpetuation of hisi: power
would utterly destroy this State, as
it has every other country in which
hehas held sway.
Resolved, That 'the issue of rdee
being forced upon us, we helieve that
alone will suceesstfully unite all the
white people, high apd low, rich and
poor, throughouit the State.
