The Chicago Convention.
NUUNE,
Gen. Agent.

-
This Convention is one of the most i'm
portant political gatherings that has assem-
bled for many years, and one in which the
people of the West and of the North have
felt great interest. The necessity which
called it into being is to be found in the
course the President pursued in reference 10
the " River and Rarbor Bill" vetoing the
appropriations which Congress had made to
improve the navigation on our lakes and
western streams. Considering the position
in which the President was placed, and the
urgent need there was that every dollar in
the National Treasury should be applied to
the support of the Mexican war, re do not
wonder he acted as he did. The govern
ment found it difficult to raise sufficient funds
for this purpose, and as the North and West
had responded so promptly 10 the call for men
and money, had so readily t~rampled under
foot their acknowledg ed principles, and, at
Slavery's dictation, solemnly voted in Con-
gress assembled that a lie was the truth, was
it unreasonable that he should expect their
patriotism would make them willing 10 90
yet farther-to yield their River and Harbor
appropriation? In this, however, it appears
he was mistaken; they were willing 10 hire
men 10 fight for slavery, were even anxious
to demonstrate their love of country by butch
ering a few Mexicans themselves, but were
unwilling to prove their patriotism by sub
hitting to a commercial inconvenience.
The Convention appears to have been I'M
usually large, delegates from fourteen free
and four slaveholding States being present,
combining, it is probable, a larger amount Of
Intelligence and moral worth than is usual
for political meetings. Corwin called il
"The Congress of the American people,
and said he would gladly sVap the old ono
for it. When we speak Of the meeting as q
political gathering, we do not mean to be un
derstood as intimating that it was a partizar
movement; although from the very nature o.
the case, fewer Democrats than Wings tool
part in it, the former having adopted as thei
motto "Our President right or wrong" II
was perfectly free under the Call which
brought it together for all who felt an int
rest in the subject matter it was convened IL
consider.
That the vetoed appropriations were o
vast importance TO the commercial interests
of the country, especially of the West, nom
will deny and it was this which prompted
men to leave their homes and their business
for the Chicago Convention. 1t was the mo
MED interests of the country which brough

Religious Instruction of the Slaves.

In another column will be found a letter
over the signature of "Philodoulos,'' which
first appeared in the Liberia Advocate, and
is a fair specimen of the means which must
be resorted to by the Colonization Society in
order TO retain any degree of favor with a
slaveholding and pro-slavery public. And
although it is somewhat singular that a So
ciety which is pre-eminently pious, and one
of whose strongest claims to popular favor is
to be found in the fact that it is the pet Of d.
DIS, and of Reverends and Right Reverends,
should bring forward the testimony of an in
Edel! concerning the religious instruction of
slaves, yet it is none the less acceptable to
US because Of the source whence it ema-
mates.
The reasoning of this stakeholder is GER
tainly very ingenious, and judging from his
OWE statement we incline TO the belief that
the last argument he used ou~tweighed all the
others, and was the means of inducing him
to give his slaves religious instruction: name
ly, "That | would be no loser, but a gamer,
by giving them the gospel" This exempla-

Annual Meeting.

The next Annual Meeting of the Western
Anti-Slavery Society will be held at New
Lyme, Ashtabula county, on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, the 18th, 10Th & goth
of August, commencing at 10 o'clock, A. NJ.
Let the friends of Freedom come up in null
titudes TO the gathering! Let there be such
an assemblage as will make glad the heart of
the slave, and hasten the day of his redomp-
ton! Let all who can possibly attend be
there. At a time like this the friends Of IL
berty have not a single man to spare. Now
is the hour for action-Zeal, energy and firm
ness are needed now. We must not suffer
from the plains of Mexico to drown the voices
Of those who are pleading for humanity. We
must not allow the National exultation for
triumphs upon the battlefield, and the fren-
zied love for military glory to roll over the
land without an effort to restrain them.
Our duty is plain, our work is before us,
and the present is ours to labor in. Shall we
be faithful to the trust reposed in US, or re-
creant to the high duty we owe our country,
the world, our brother, and our Creators
Beside the advocates Of emancipation in
the West, WI expect TO have with us on that
occasion, WIN. LLOYD GARRISON, JAMES n.

EDRs. BUGLE:
| am not in the habit Of attending religious
meetings much of late, but having heard that
the Rev. B. White of the Methodist Epis-
copal Choir in Limaville, Stark Co., would
preach a sermon on Sunday the llth. to prove
GarriSonism infdelity, and Garrisonians In
fGels, my curiosity led me to the place by
the time appointed.
My desire was somewhat increased from a
knowledge Of the fact, that more or less of
those about to be denounced would be pres
ent, and that the Rev. Bro. had boosted of
his ability to exterminate that kind of game,
when provided with his "skunk gun ;"* in
short, | supposed that he was to them what
Davy Crockett was to ''varmints," a perfect
terror.
The meeting opened after the usual man.
ner, a hymn and then a prayer, but, as aboli-
ton was about TO be preached down, it was
necessary that anti-slavery be prayed up, so
the brother spoke of the ~iniquity of the Mex
lean war in the main, but prayed God to bless
our rulers, leaving no cause for complaint by
either party.
After taking for a text as much of Jude's
general epistle as he found from the 18th to
10Th verses inclusive, he trusted 10 Jude as
the best commentator on his own writings,
and to read the balance of the epistle. Ex-
9 IRENE physical debility consequent upon ex-
traordinary labor while in attendance on
Conference may have been the cause, but our
brother never referred TO the text afterwards.
The Bible laid aside, he made one bound
into the French revolution, landing in the
spot where human blood was flowing mos
freely. This he informed us was the resul
of in6delity, and as an opportunity here pre-
scented itself to kill two birds with one stone
the cause Of this ~infdelity was very Protest
antiy laid to the teachings of the Catholi
:, Church. Some, like myself, no doubt, wer
beginning to wonder about this time what al
. this had to do with Gartison's infdelity
vs. while TO those acquainted with his peculia
faculty of connecting effects with causes tina
II have no relation to them, it was perfect
plain. However we were not kept in sus
u pense more than half an hour, as the next Ell
III fort was to prove Robert Owen as identica
with the Murats and Robespieres, of tn
French revolution. This | thought decided

&c discussion of This same subject, he refused O.
:" the, ground that he had left his skunk gun a

Conference he probably brought it with him

true by the old school abolitionists Of 1870,
and re-endorsed by an equally devoted band
in 1888, that the STAKEHOLDER and the consul
mer of his commodities, together with all
the complex machinery pertaining to the pro-
cess of their production, transfer, traffic and
consumption, constitute one great "sIarehoid-
ing frm," all acting in harmony-no part of
which can be spared without detriment to the
rest, and that the consumer is, especially, the
main spring which gives 10 the whole, mo-
tion, energy and vitality.
If, then, we are bound to be i rigidly con-
s%istent,' should we not take down the motto,
No union with Shareholders" until we
shall have become disenthralled from this
vast "sldveholding firing The disunionist
who cleaves to it holds in one hand the mot
to "n union with shareholders" and in the
other the tempting bride to the STAKEHOLDER,
"Give us your cotton, and your rice, and
your sugar, and we will give you our money /;
but if you liberate your slaves you cannot
furnish it so cheap-we will then patronize
him who wrests those article from his vic
tim 'oithoul complnsation we are abolition
lists, it is 4" innocent" for us to buy of him
who can sell cheapest without regard TO the
mode by which he procures his goods"
The Fosters, the Pillsburys, the Jacksons,
and other Notwithstanding abolitionists, says
Earvicnn nnaJ M ocr,;Eo,t, Sc ,boir. l,rotiop
TO the cause of the slave. Those may all be
good abolitionists, which is not saying they
might not be better. Pulpit labor is often
mistaken, however, for practical work. Poll.
ticians are often set down as true patriots
and great champions of human liberty, when
there is not perhaps a single act they have
performed to merit the character imputed to
them, save those of public speaking in behalf
of freedom. This they have done with less
pecuniary compensation, and no more hope
of acquiring distinction and eminence than
the anti-slavery lecturer. Such may, or
they may not be the true friends of human
freedom. What we want is practical work
as well as preaching. If W. l.. G. had been
the other side of the question, I doubt
not it would have occurred to him to show
G. c. Burleigh, Lucretia Mott, and 9TH

I'd all the requisites of the above named with

that they make sacrifices to procure the

fcate" from the stakeholder for their warm
