That this Deputation strongly urges upon its Constituents the importance of promptly and vigorously acting upon the recommendations contained in the foregoing resolutions as to the choice of Representatives in the ensuing Parliament.
That the declaration of the line of policy intended to be pursued by the Administration of Sir Robert Peel, as contained in his address to the Electors of Tamworth, is most unsatisfactory to Dissenters, and affords no prospect of the adoption of liberal measures on the part of the Cabinet of which he is the head.
That this deputation cannot but record its total want of reliance on the granting of any effectual relief to Dissenters by a political party which have ever been opposed to the affording to that numerous and important body their just and equal rights as subjects of the Realm.
That the foregoing Resolutions be inserted in the “Morning Chronicle,” “Morning Post,” “Morning Advertiser,” “Globe,” “Standard,” and “Patriot” newspapers.
resolutions occasioned by the letter from the american board of foreign missions[C] to the board of baptist ministers in and near london.
At a meeting of the Board of Baptist Ministers, specially convened at Fen Court, Nov. 25th, 1834, the Rev. F. A. Cox, LL.D. in the Chair, the above communication having been read, the following resolution was adopted:—
Resolved unanimously,
“That we receive with much pleasure the expressions of esteem and attachment, and fully participate in the affectionate sentiments, contained in the letter of the American Board of Foreign Missions, dated Boston, Sept. 1, 1834; and while we deeply regret that, in the judgment of the said Board, it would violate the Constitution of the Triennial Convention to entertain our communication of the 31st Dec. 1833, we hope that such of our American brethren as concur in the opinions of that communication, will adopt every means consistent with Christian principles, to diffuse their sentiments, and thus secure the immediate and entire extinction of their slave system.
