At their National Convention, al
x able address to the slaves was adop

About s o'clock P. M. on Tues.
, day, we reached Buffalo, and found
it already thronged with the dele
gates from the various States from
Maine to Illinois. We could not
help contrasting with feelings OF
gratitude and exultation, the dark
day of April 1910, with this day OF
glory. In the evening over $50,
from different States, assembled for
familiar social conversation in regard
to the state of the cause. From
every part of the land the most
ycheering news was given. In the
morning another familiar meeting of
friends, preceded by a meeting for
prayer, took place at 8 O'Clock, which
confirmed the impressions of our
evening session. | will not speak
of the names of friends now. You
will find a roll Of the delegates with
my to-morrow's letter. Print it.,
and let the people see what sort of
men constitute the elite of Liberty's
gathering hosts. Such men are not
to be conquered! Whatever they
attempt WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED.
At 10 o'clock, ALvAN STEWART,
