NEW-ENGLAND ANTI SLAVERY
CONVENTION.
The N. E. Anti-Slavery Convention was
held in this city last week. We could not
attend 1t so constantly as to give fair ac
count of it, and therefore did not visit it at
all. The common opinion among those
whom we have heard speak Of it is, that no.
body was very we'll satisfied with it, j.
Perhaps, however, they are all prejudiced-
though some of them belong to the Anti
Slavery Society.(2) Money was raised
not IN cash or collectible obligatons, but in
promises to endeavor to get subscriptions
$4,000, for the expenses Of the year.(3) If
mobs and Lynching go on another Year,
they will raise it easily (4) By their aid,
the Am. A. S. Society last year raised $25,
OC0 out of the $50, 600 voted at N. York. (5.)
Some of the most respectable Abolition
lists talk Of the necessity Of taking the cause
giving its management better Character
This would doubtless secure the co-orera-
ton Of many, who now stand aloof Per-
haps it will be done; but we see no prosrect
Of it.(6. )-Reco7'dcr.
1.-THE only true church. TIE follow
ing resolution was moved BY Mr. Charles
Stuart formerly of the British amy az
and seconded by the Rev. O. S Murray,
editor of the Vermont T4Iegraph:
Resolved, That when the chu,ch becomes SO
corrupt as to use its influence to d lay and pre-
vent the fulhlment of the vii Of Christ respect
ing righteousness, peace. purity and tempc,a
it becomes necessary for those who love and rev.
eFence the gospel, to associate themselves anew
for the support of these its fundamental priDci-
pies; and that such associations are the true and
only church of Christ.
This resolution evidently means somc-
thing that it does not EXPRESS. Slavery
was th3 subject under consideration and
the trainers Of the resolution doubtless
meant to say that anti-s!averv churches
are the on y true churches. They should
have had the courage to say so pIain1v.(a)

been more ef1cctual for its support than any other

first day he says:
The New-England Anti-Siarery CON-
rention assembled yesterday, in Rev. Mr.
Blagden'S Church, in Sa!em-street, in this
city. That spacious building was entirely
occupied, by as respectable, attentive, and as
truly moral and religious an assembly as
any public occasion has ever called together
in this city. A most respectable and deeply
absorbed attention pervaded the audience
:. So entirely composed
and so fully open to free discussion. were
the members Of this re spectacle Convention,
that we warrant they would have listened,
most patiently, to an address from Gov
MDufhe, showing that slavery was indis-
pensable to liberty, provided he would wait
for an answer. The liberties, morals, and
religion Of our country can ever be in danger
in the hands Of such men and women as
composed the Convention and its friends
There was not the slightest indication of
disapprobation from any quarter.
Extracts from his remarks on the second
days session:
The discussion in the Convention yester-
day, were highly animated, and elected
strong bursts Of eloquence with cogent argu-
ment. We doubt if any of the Anniversary
assemblies of the week have brought out SO
much talent.
