ANTI-SLAVER
PROCEEDINGS OF THE
NATIONAL CONVENTION.
Reported for The Albany Weekly Patriot

Reported for the Albany Weekly Patriot.
Monday afternoon, in company
with VIM. H. Burleigh, (thc Poet OF
that most poetical family,) Henry B.
Stanton and many other friends,
most of whom took the honest mems
car, the cheap one. We travelled on
without incident, unless Liberty
songs and a constant stream of Lib
erty conversation be incidents in
travel-till near Canastota, the cars
run over and killed one horse and
manned another. We need law
requiring the Railroad Companies to
fence their roads: it would save
trouble, injury of property and life.
At Rochester we took on board our
friends, Garnet, Wright, ct. S.
Townsend, Ray and others of our
beloved friends, who had just conclu-
ded their State Convention. Their
National Convention at Buffalo oc-
cupied the preceding week. OF
both these glorious meetings-meet-
ings destined to form an era in the
history of the people of color in this
country-I hope to send you an ac-
count in time for the next Patriot
Suffice it to say, that the delegations
were large: that they attracted
thousands of the citizens to listen to
their protracted deliberations: that
their exhibitions oftalent, eloquence,
solid judgment and wisdom, won the
admiration and respect of the entire
ciliesin which they met. Our friends
say that no conventions have ever
done SO much in these localities, to
advance TIE cause ofhuman freedom.
Both conventions with only two dis
senting votes, adopted resolves in

SAMUEL LEWIS, of Cincinnati, be-
ing very loudly called for, address
ed the Convention. Lewis is a
yankee, by birth. His ancestors are
from Scituate, and the old Plymouth
colony. He is nearly six feet high.
His countenance is open and cheer
full. The dark thoughtful eye, and
broad, high forehead, would mark
the great. THINKER and imaginative
speaker, if you saw him among
strangers. He eloquently contrast
ed the condition of the popular SEN
timent on the slavery question in
1776 to go. and over. Then, our
Constitution and the action of Gov
eminent pledged the nation to the
speedy extinction of slavery; and
now, the Slave States had forfeited
these pledges, and the Free States
had consented to give Slavery the
control of the appointing and Legis-
lative powers of our Government, land
made millions of laboring poor to be
most degraded bondmen.
In the course of the morning,
George w. Clark and Charles A.
Wheaton delighted the audience
with Liberty songs.

THE EARTHLY AND HEAVENLY

THE EARTHLY AND HEAVENLY
o, there is music on the hills,
A blithesome song of love and life
There's music in the gushing rills,
When Spring winds breathe, and gladness fills
All but the sons of strife.
They toll on mountains, bleak and cold,
In lonely field and crowded mart
What thousands, for the glitering gold,
The priceless wealth of mind have sold;
And pleasures of the heart.
How many harps have been unslrung,
Whose music was of heavenly birth;
Because with lying notes they sung
The praises of the vile, and flung
Their melody to earth!
Upward the birds wild carol goes,
Where stars sing in the blue above;
Upward the balm of summer rose,
That blossoms where the brook o'erAows
With murmurings @: love.
But man goes downward, till the earth
Takes back his dust in youthful bloom;
All but Angelic in his birth,
For q few hours of sinful mirth,
Fills forgotten tomb.
AS rush the rivers to the sea,
AS sweeps the Eagle to the sun,
As seek the hills the breozes free,
The soul should SOAR o God, to thee,
For strength till life is done.
For strength the conflict to begin,
10 battle long and fierce and fast;
TO purify the heart within,
TO wage eternal war with sin,
And Struggle to the last.
How dreams the soul its hours away,
ThoIghlless as clods from which it sprung;
Weakened to see life's glorious day,
TO conquer time and sing the lay
That Seraph never sung.
chain is on that deathless soul
1t dares not breathe the heavenly breath,
That floats along as free roll
Bright rivers to their Ocean goal,
But droops its wing in death.
Turn from the path so dark and drear,
Your bleeding feet too long have Irod;
The chains of men no longer wear,-
Think for yourselves, and speak, and dare
To worship none but God.
Think for yourselves, and feel and mourn,
When plying nature bids you pour
Your tears, for bosoms rudely torn
BY scorn or tyrant's lash, till borne
Where they shall bleed no more.
Hush not single breath unheard,
That breaks the channels worn by men,
Where Godlike mind must creep, till stirred
Up from its depths by heavenly word,
Meier 10 be stayed again,
High up the rugged hill of life,
Brave brothers, let US nobly on;
BE heroes struggling mid the strife,
And storm with which the world is rife,
Till SUMMER chimes are won.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

than $500 people here seated
How shall the throng be accommo-
dated tonight and tomorrow
Prayer by Rev. John Keep, OF
Ohio.
The Business Committee reported
in part-(seebeloa0.) Stephen S. Foster
rose, and asked leave to speak. A
very needless effort TO prevent him
from speaking, consumed half an
hour. He then made a capital adj
dress, defining his positioh-declar-
ing that if the Liberty Party would
pledge itselfnot to return the fugitive
slaves, or to suppress the efforts of
the slave to gain his freedom by
force, he should support it, so far as
he could sustain any political body.
Abby Kelly followed him, in some
pointed remarks about the wicked
ness Of abolitionists contending with
each other. They were both warm
ly applauded-The first resolve was
passed. The second was debated
by Messrs. Torrey, Alvan Stewart,
and Prof. Nevins, of Ohio.
will not speak of Mr.. Torrey's
development Of the democratic pol
icy ofthe Liberty party. Mr.. Stew
art was in his happiest vein. The
people laughed at his quaintness,
wept at his pathos, and thought of
his bold and energetic exhibitions of
the atrocity of supporting the slave
system by our religious influence
and at the ballot box. The resolve
was then passed, and George w.
Clark sung Whittier's "Stanzas for
the Times" The whole immense
audience united in
"The indignant answer, Mop
Nevlns made a sensible, practical,
democratic speech. l should have
said that S. S. Foster denounced the
National A. S. Standard of Aug.
Gath, for its political and moral rot
tenness, its SANDERS on the Liberty
party and the American A. S. Socie-
ty, and its apologies for continued
support OF pro-slavery churches and
parties. Miss Kelly, in conversa-
ton, expressed equal indignation at
the views sent forth in that paper.
The third resolve being under con-
sideration, GARNET, of Troy, poured
forth a flood Of fire and logic-a
quite natural to him.
The evening session was devoted to
addresses. Galusha began by a !
prayer. l cannot criticise prayers.
[ hear eloquent ones in this Conven-
ton, judged by the common rules
of eloquence. But an ELOQUENT
PRAYER is one that reaches The ear
Of God! If it comes from a pure
and humble heart, then God is pleas
ed. If not, it is brass. The pray
ers and the whole spirit of this i'm
mense gathering are he01y-breathe
the spirit OF deep devotion and duty,
Every thing is very cheerful, full Of
hope and joy. Liberty men are re-
feshing themselves in this great meet
ing, to renew their tolls in the con-
llict with more vigor.
Geo. Fessenden, of Portland, be-
gins the meeting. He is a large,
portly man, with full, clear voice.
He speaks loudly, but with the air
Of a man of cool Judgment, decided
character, and heightened Christian
principle. Such he is. Any party
might be proud of such man.
