That if they lived from the time of Pha- raoh down to the present period, and had been entailed through successive generations, their ribt to be free could never have been aliena- tedj but their claims would have constantly vi>ru iii solemnity. Thai all those Laws which arc now in force Emitting the right of slavery, are therefore 1m, utterly null and void; Wing an au- daciou8 usurpation of the Divine prerogative, a daring infringement on the law of nature, a base overthrow of the very foundati...ons of the ial compact, a complete extinction of all the relations, endearments, and obligations of man- kind, and u presumptuous transgression of all [ 9 ] the holy commandments; and that, therefore, they ought instantly to be abrogated. We further believe and affirm — That all per- sons of color who possess the qualifications which are demanded of others, ought to be ad- mitted forthwith to the enjoyment of the same privileges, and the exercise of the same pre- rogatives, as others ; and that the paths of preferment, of wealth, and of intelligence, should be opened as widely to them as to per- sons of a white complexion.
