IV.
_Resolved_, That the great abolitionist who represents himself in his
speeches as baptizing his dogs, in just ridicule of the baptism of
chattel slaves, is worthy, with his dogs, of a place in the heavens
among the constellations; and that anti-slavery astronomers be requested
to make a Southern constellation for them somewhere near the head of The
Serpent, as rivals to "_Canes Venatici_," which pro-slavery astronomers
no doubt designed, in blasphemous profanation of the heavens, to
represent their bloodhounds hunting fugitive slaves, placing it in
disgusting proximity to our own Northern _Ursa Major_. And the friends
of the slave are hereby invited to make that new constellation their
cynosure, vowing by it, and anti-slavery lovers arranging their
matrimonial engagements, if possible, so as to plight their troth only
when it is in the ascendant.
V.
_Resolved_, That we shall hail it as a sign of progress and an omen for
good, when anti-slavery women, with the sensibility which belongs to
their sex, shall become so interpenetrated with the sentiments of
freedom, that they can distinguish by the sense of taste the oyster
grown in James River, Richmond, Virginia, and handled by the toil-worn
slave, from that which grew on free soil.
VI.
_Resolved_, That our noble anti-slavery poets be requested to compose
sonnets addressed to the whippoorwill, appealing to that sorrowful-tuned
bird by our associations with his name, and by his own historic
relationship to the victims of oppression, to desert the South and to
frequent our woods and pastures in greater numbers, that the
sensibilities of our people may be continually touched by his notes and
his name, so suggestive of the monstrous lash which rules over one half
of this great nation. And the anti-slavery members of the Legislature
are hereby requested to seek legislative enactments whereby the
whippoorwill may be further domiciliated at the North, and be provided
with protection during the winter season.
