The business of the Convention bar;na
been disposed of, an impressive PRAYER vs.
offered by Rev. Mr. Grosvenor, auda hv,1S
sung, after which the Convention was An
solved, at half past o'clock, having beon
IN active session three days.
We thank our fellow citizens Of the Gov
vention for their irmness and moral conroro
in thus sustaining this fundamental nr;nS;
pie of Liberty-the right Of free discn>,;on
Says the editor Of the Lynn Record
1t was one ofthe most affecting and ooo
ly interesting meetings we ever atten1a1
Ifanything is calculated TO di>pel the glooa
which is lowering over the liberties Of omr
country. PoTtending its speedy do1rnfoT i
is the glowing patriotism, the thriIhnS, soni
stirring eloquence Of the talented yonno
men who are now coming upon the stage Of
life. Not all the corruptions Of wealth Of
aristocracy, of Pharisaical priestcraft, of the
despotlsm OF slavery itself, can restrain the
ardor, or suppress the flow OF generous feel
ing, which bursts from the hearts of these
devoted young men.
The audience were, in their appearance,
generally intelligent and RESPECTABLE,
large number of ladies were present.
We wish the whole American people, eS
peclally those in Congress assembled, could
have been present and heard the addresses,
on this occasion.
Has Mr. Tracy heard any of the above
or anything Of similar language from score
of other papers? Does he know that Mr.
Blagdcn's Westinghouse where the Con
vention was held, was so filled that the
broad aisle was frequently crowded with
persons standing, in session hours, to the
last2 Does he know that the friends and
attendants OF other meetings complained Sc
riously of their numbers scattering off to the
Anti Slavery Convention? This we heard
with our own ears at the time 1t is doubt
less true that the friends Of the "American
Unlon," and xpatriation-that all the aris-
tocracy-all who hate the Anti-Slavery
cause-all who envy Anti-Slavcry men
were not 'well satisfied" with the triumrh
ant success Of the Convention. But that j,
no warrant for the conclusion that "nobodv
was very we'll satisfied with it," Such a
representation is most giaring mis-repre-
sentaton.
(2) Who? Doubtless our cause, rs we'll
as almost every other good cause, has those
who at times are faint hearted and ready
to deny-there need however be no uneasi-
ness until something appears more specitc
and candid
(3) The Ant-S]ayery Society wants no
other "collccuble obligations" than the
pledged honor Of its members Will the
editor of the Boston Recorder make known
wherein this has ever failed "Monev was
raised--not in cash" &c-Ard vet there
was cash paid into the treasury of the Con-
venuon, on the spot, to the amc unit frearly
a Thousand dollars
t) Whether Mr. Tracy has any new
plans in view for sending forth the "mub>. "
he has rot told US. On this point all i,
characteristic mysticism. His former course
OF misrepresentation is f2iiing-the reorlo
arc 'o@i"5 credcncc. All tits may Strike
some, as severe. Bot how have MODS been
raised against aboiitiOniSts? Mainly by the
press, misrepresenting their principles ana
measures. v hat press has openly advccat-
ed mobocracy -? What one has done worse
than to misreprescnt? And what one has
dealt more largely in misrepresentation, than
that uNder the Ii..::>on of Jo5:ph T,l:y
! (5) The $4,000 paid into the treasury
OF the American An'i-Slavery Society, last
year, was but a small proportion Of wbat
was actually expended in promotion of the
cause. OF what was raised in Vermont.
not one half went to the Parent Institution.
The remainder was laid out at home. Its
known to have been so in ether States. ex-
tenslvely. Will Mr. Tracy leave sneeurg
at the funds Of the Anti-Slavcry Society
long enough to exhibit the treasury depart
ment OF the American Union for the relief
and improvement of the colored race?
(6) Those whom Mr. Tracy esteens to
be ~the most respectable Abolitionists,n of
course are they who are the nearest svmpa-
thizlng with him in his unchristian crusade
against distinctive abolitionism-otherwise
gospel truth on the subject of American
sIavey-especialIy against the pioneers of
the cause against whom he has always
manifested such bitter and splenetic envy.
But 1t seems that he despairs of getting the
standard lowered down. Well he may
his present prospect is worse than dubious
~ Did not the editors Of the Vernon,
Chronicle. when thy penntd this con-
tempttle sheer, know that Charles Stuart
is now regularly Iicenccd Presbyterian
minister? They ought to have known it
