At this time, even the one and only right of woman, that of petition,
had been trampled under the heel of slavery on the floor of Congress,
which roused those noble women to a just indignation, as will be seen
in their resolutions on the subject, presented by Juliana A. Tappan:

_Resolved_, That whatever may be the sacrifice, and whatever
other rights may be yielded or denied, we will maintain
practically the right of petition until the slave shall go free,
or our energies, like Lovejoy's, are paralyzed in death.

_Resolved_, That for every petition rejected by the National
Legislature during their last session, we will endeavor to send
five the present year; and that we will not cease our efforts
until the prayers of every woman within the sphere of our
influence shall be heard in the halls of Congress on this
subject.

MARY GREW offered the following resolution, which was adopted:

WHEREAS, The disciples of Christ are commanded to have no
fellowship with the "unfruitful works of darkness"; and

WHEREAS, Union in His Church is the strongest expression of
fellowship between men; therefore

_Resolved_, That it is our duty to keep ourselves separate from
those churches which receive to their
