Event date: Jul 14, 1855
The American Party of Brattleboro held a meeting in this place on Friday evening of last week. “Resolved, that Slavery and Popery being so nearly allied, it is our duty to unite in one common cause against both; and that the fires of liberty now burning throughout the Union should continue to burn, till, in the language of the gallant Ford, “Liberty shall be a birthright of every American, until we have a government without a despotism, a religion without a Pope, and an empire without a Slave.”
