National Anti-sIavery Convention.

Remember the great National Convention to be
held at Albany N. Y. on Wednesday, the 3lst
inst. 1t will probably continue in session two or
three days. The call does not confne itself to
members of the society, or to those who approve
its measures, or even of the existence of an organ
lied association. It's addressed to call such free
men of the United States as adopt the principles
embodied in the constitution of the American An
t-Savery Society,"" Vermont should have, aud
we trust she will have her full share of represen-
tatives in that important assembly. In circular
letter. which has been addressed to many individ-
uals in the free states, inviting their attendance at
the Albany convention, the committee say
"The leading object of the Convention is to de-
wise and adopt measures for uniting the strength
of all the true friends of liberty, to break the pow
er which slavery has usurped over our national
policy, over the Federal Government, over the
pulpit and the press, and even ever the legislation
of the free states. The great doctrine of INAL1EN-
ABLE HUMAN RIGHTS, on which our own right to
nationality is founded must be restored to its pow
err The extensive abandonment of this principle
in all parts of our Union the tendency to subst-
tue might for right, the tame acquiescence in all
the demands of slavery must be arrested, or our
country is undone.
ave are convinced that the only remedy is to
strike at the root of this complicated viany, and
to make our statesmen and our free citizens see,
that the abolition of slavery by peaceful and con-
sttutional means, is the greatest political interest
of the nation, and one which must engage the
counses of the prudent, the energy of the inAuen-
tial, and the united perseverng and steadfast de-
termination of all who truly love and reverence
the cause of Human Freedom. In this point of
view, we feel that much, perhaps every thing de-
ponds on the approaching Convention. We do
not yet despair of the Republic; but we know
that it cannot be saved without speedy, united
and powerful rally of the true-heared. And
where shall this begin, unless at such a Conven-
ton? That we may not be lacking in any inAu-
ence or any wisdom, of which each individual
friend of the cause owns and owes his proper pro-
portion, we earnestly desire your attendance

Col. Miller.

The last Vermont Chronicle charges this gen.
tleman with the design of breaking dorm minis
tiers and breaking up churches that will not pro-
nounce his Shibboleth." The editor says, We
understand on good authority that he avows it."
Col. Miller desires us to say that he has made
no such avowal as the Chronicle imputes to him.

SABBATH Schools. A correspondent of the
Boston Atlas states that the most interesting part
Of the celebration in New York was an assem-
blage of thirteen thousand children, attendants on
Sabbath Schools, accompanied by more than taco
thousand teachers. They embarked on board
steam boats prepared for the occasion, and procee-
ded to Staten Island, about nine miles from the
city, where they landed, partook of refreshments
and returned. The President of the U. States
and Governor Seward of New York, were in at
tendance. The Governor made an address.

Ohio.

The following are among the resolutions adop-
ted by the abotionists of Ohio at their recent
state meeting at Putnam:
RESOLVED, that the Honorable Henry Clay, in his
late speech on Abolition in the Senate of the Uni
ted States, so far from occupying the high position
OF an American statesman comprehending in his
views and solicitudes the interests of the whole
country, and founding his opinions and policy on
the principles of eternal justice has prostituted
himself to the support of an interest, sectional in
character, radically wrong in principle despotic in
demand, violent and reckless in measures, adverse
to the highest welfare of the Union, and at war
with Humanity.
Resoloed that while his grave and inffammato-
ny misrepresentation of the movements, motives
and principles of abolitionists, qualify him to as
sumo the championship of the slaveholding inter.
est; the false and dangerous principles, mercena-
ry arguments, rank selfshness, apathy to the
wrongs of the oppressed, unblushng sympathy
with the oppressor, every where prominent in his
speech, and the cOmplacent presumption with
which he calculates on the continued blessing of
God upon system of never ending slavery, ad-
ded to his own persistence in the accursed prac'
tce OF slaveholdmg, dsqualify him for any office
OF honor and influence among free people.
ReSotced, that, since Mr.. Van Buren,, as Presi-
dent of the Senate, gave his casting vote in favor
of Mr.. Calhouns bill to prohibit the free circula-
ton by the mail, of papers favorable to Human
Rights-afterward, at his Inauguration as Presl-
dent of the United States, pledged himself to veto
any bill which might be passed by both Houses
of Congress for the abolition slavery in the Dis
trict of Columbia unless the same should be sup.
ported by the slaveholding States-has given no
evidence, so far as is known to this meeting, that
he is not, up to this time favorable to the perpet
uation of slavery in the South, and that he is not
to the full a Northern President with Southern
is therefore undeserving of sup
port, as candidate for the first office of this Gov,
eminent.
