very dear and precious interests in the face of al
experience should they give their votes to mere
party men. Their experience on that subject had
been sad one, and they must be allowed to Act
on experience. But they could not now organize
third party, they were not prepared to do it, The
time was not come and they hoped it never would
come but they could not prevent free men from
exercising their own judgment in the use of their
own political power, and they probably would use
1t IN many places in the very way indicated in
this resolution. The last course therefore would
be to let all act in their own districts as occasion
might require. Even if they should mistake the
right course, the mistake would operate within
small compass and be attended comparatively with
but little damage. If no other way could be de-
vlsed Tor the abolition OF slavery, but that, Adolf
tonists must meet it. But if they persevered in
doing their duty, God would smile upon them and
bless them with final success.
Mr.. Loring agreed in tie sentiments lust utter
ed but his fear was that the adoption OF this res
olution would be considered as, in some degree,
giving the sanction of this convention to the start
ing of distinct abolition party. Mr. l.. was will
ling to remain silent on that subject and let such
party chriSaize Of itself, if it was needed When
ever it was done, he hoped it would be done by
the united wisdom OF the whole body-but in the |
mean time let them not commit themselves. Or
that subject he should say, hands off.
Mr.. Knapp hoped that it would be understood
that the mind of the Convention was made IN
against The eXpediency Of any general combined
political action at this time
Mr.. Lorng now Withdrew his motion for in
definite postponement and moved That the resolu-
lion lie on the table, which motion was carried,
ayes, l04, nays, S. so the third resolution was
laid on the table.
After sundry other resolutions were disposed Of, t
On motion of Mr.. Scott, the third resolution, t
which had been laid on the table, was taken up
md strenuously advocated by Mr. Dresser and Mr. t
Stanton. Il
Mr.. Garrison moved 10 amend it, but the pre- a
'ious question having been demanded and carried
is operation cut off all pending amendments and t.
he main question recurring on the adoption of the
esoIution, it was carried. l.
Mr.. Garrison made some remarks in vindca- o
ion of his own conduct on the government ques- S
ion in relation to which he complained of having
zen falsely accused. He did not think it consis. y
ent or proper for non-resstants to discuss their s.
Jews in an abolition convention, and therefore J
was that he had remained silent, as had others W
