VII.
_Resolved_, That bobolinks, blue jays, orioles, martins, and swallows,
who visit the rice-fields of the South, and live upon the unrequited
toil of four millions of our fellow-men, should not, upon their return,
be viewed with favor by the friends of equal rights at the North, but
should be destroyed by sportsmen as a sacrifice to outraged humanity.
And no true anti-slavery taxidermist will, in our judgment, be found
willing to stuff the skin of one of those mean and traitorous birds for
any public or private ornithological show-case.
VIII.
_Resolved_, That one subject of great interest, well suited to occupy
the attention of Massachusetts freemen and friends of liberty the
current year, is this: Whether the great whips in Dock Square, Boston,
which stand professedly as signs before the doors of whip-makers' shops,
but are in the very sight of Faneuil Hall, shall be allowed to remain
within that sacred precinct of liberty; and that we tender our thanks to
those who are investigating the question whether the whips were not
originally placed, and are not now maintained, there by the slave-power,
in mockery of our Northern hatred of oppression.
