Of Furnishing him for larceny, but to pun
ish and make an example of him 10 de-
ter others, and for the objectionable Of
fence Of absconding from slavery .
Therefore,


Resolved, 1t is with sorrow we find
he Governor of the Brit ish Province of
Canada countenancing and assisting the
slave holders and their abettors of the
American confederacy by seizing and
conhning in prison and returning to
bondage individuals who had fled to that
Province for protection and liberty


Resolved, AS there are no treaty stip-
ulations binding the Governments to sur
render fugitives from justice, we believe
the Governor General was not justified
in giving up the said Hacket, even ad-
hitting him guilty Of the charge alleged,
viz stealing horse and watch.


Resolved, If this precedent, this sort
Of courtesy is established, then Canada
will no longer be an asylum for our un-
fortunate brethren who are escaping
from bondage. They will be just as
safe in New York, Vermont, MaSsachu-
sets and Maine.


Resolved, We pray our Brethren in
Canada to give this subject immediate
and serious attention, and ifpossible find
what part certain officers and counsel
lors at Chatham, Windsor and Sand
wich had in this affair, and publish the
whole transaction, and by all means en-
deayor to prevent such nefarious pro-
ceedings in future.


Resolved, The proceedings Of this
meeting be published in the Signal Of
Liberty, at Ann Arbor, Philanthropist,
at Cincinnati, Emancipator at New York,
Liberator, at Boston.
