Resolved, That we consider the course he pursues, as editor of the Liberator, of great utility and usefulness, and, as a proof, intent to continue our patronage, and would recommend to our brethren to do the same.
It being thought expedient to appoint an agent for the Liberator in this place, Josiah Green was, therefore, appointed agent.
Resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the Liberator,
