A meeting was verbally advertised to be
held at Waterford on the 18th of Sent. bv
some persons who wished to throw their in
huence on the side Of humanity by forming
an Anti-Slavery Society. But so dead were
the sympathies Of the people upon the sub
lect, that but few attended. Notwithstand-
ing the smallness Of their number, the few
who did attend organized a Society under the
name Of the North Western Pa. Anli-Slave-
ry, Society, of the proceedings OF which The
following is a report:
The Secretary must pardon us if we omit
a portion of The proceedings which would be
embarrassing 10 our readers, such as the elec-
ton of officers, &C., &C., and come at once
to the resolutions adopted by tho society at
its first meeting.
Whereas, There are Anti Slavery Socie-
ties, differing widely in respect to the means
proposed for The abolition of Slavery; And
Whereas, This society has just been organi-
zed, these considerations, common honesty,
and fidelity to the slave, require that the po-
sition Of this society should be Defined
Therefore,
Rcsolred, That we fully endorse the scn,i-
ments Of the American Anli-Slavery Society,
that secession from the present U. S. Govern
ment is a duty, and that no aboIitionist can
take office, or vote for another to take office,
under the U. S. Constitution, without rem
dering himself an abettor Of the Shareholders
sin.
ResOlred, That we fully endorse the prin-
clples of the American Anti-Slavery Society,
in respect to The American church and cler-
gy, and denounce them as being corrupt
standing in the way of the liberation of the
slave, a"d being, in the language of James
G.. Birney, "The Bulwarks of American
Slavery"
lSeveral subsequent meetings were held,
which were small. Al one of them the fol-
lowing resolution was presented, and laid
upon the table with the intention of calling
1t up at a future meeting for discussion.]
ResOhed, That an experience of more than
half a century has proven the entire ~fallacy
of slayeholding and non-slaveholding States
uniting under one government without all be-
coming partners in the guilt, and that the last
fifty years under this union, have seen the
slaves trebled in numbers, clearly showing
that the only way for the North to rid them
selves of the crime of slave-holding is, to dis
solve this blooa stained aa.on, ana ioi each

You probably infer from the foregoing has.
ty report that in this vicinity we are quite in
different to the condition of the slave. Your
inference is partially correct. Yetthere is a
sparse scattering Of Liberty party and other
anti-slavery men here; but they seem, either
TO regard this society as beneath their notice,
or to shun it on party principles. How in
direct is the course Of men towards Truth |!
a true guide to it would point out an unde-
Waiting, straightforward course. unprejudiced
by the frivolous marks of party distinction
Of in other words, would show a principle of
action, which investigated, weighs and con-
siders both sides of the question, and COM
pares the reasoning Of one side with that of
the other, by tho severeSt tests. But how
different the manner in which men proceed
Instead Of giving a candid hearing to each
others principles and reasons, they led on by
party notions and prejudices, abstain from IA
discussion, shun the very persons whom they
should seek, and the more absurd and out Of
the way The course they have taken, the more
violent their eXeTlions in its pursuit and for
fear of coming together, the parties rush d.
rectly from each other, each one seeking its
opponents opposite extreme. | have no re-
ference TO any particular party here; but that
such feelings have Influenced men in all peri
DDS Of the world, has been manifested ia al
most, if not quite all the questions the world
has given rise TO. And perhaps something
like those feelings have been the cause why
this society has not lourished as it otherwise
might have done.
Permit me in addition, 10 say through your
paper, that a person possessed Of the neces-
sary information and qualifications for lectur-
ing upon the subject, wishing 10 do a good
work in the cause of humanity, might spend
a few days in this vicinity, with honor to
himself, and advantage TO the cause; for We
are not entirely dead here, all we want is a
lille bho1Oing.
AS you please,

The following is a private letter, but as it
contains much that will interest many of our
readers, we give it a place in our columns
DEAR BENJAMIN & ELIZABETH:
We are now again at our dear home. Our
estimable friends, James and Lucretia Mott.
were with us; but | need net write of that,
as we wrote a few days since to our mutual
friends, Isaac and Jane Prescott. Two let
tors are just received from two friends, mem
bers of Indiana Yearly Meeting. Twill give
extracts from them.
"Lucretia Mott and The Delaware Friend
spoke to an overlooking house yesterday, and
at 4 O'Clock at the Methodist house. which
was crowded full. Lucretia spoke on the
subject of Reform-to-morrow evening a tenn.
perance meeting is appointed-another on the
rights of women at the same house. I have
attended the first sitting-thought it not very
entertaining" There are two houses contiu-
uous-they are both used one is o~ccupied bv
the men, the other by the women durinp the
transaction Of business. On public DAVIS both
houses are open and the people have their
choice which to go into. The letter proceeds

the wrong house, and when they found their
mistake while George Hatton was speaking,

mouse and left in considerable numbers. Fo,
such bad conduct, as he thought, he repri-
manded them severely" "a committee was
appointed that will determine your fate. and

the cold shoulder, in the place Of a warm
heart and hand. At that place, in the store
Of Charles Walden, a reputable citizen, and
in the presence Of several others, the above
statements were made. John b. Miller in
the presence Of other parties, told me that
Guy had told the same to him. Beside the
above, is Mr.. McCune, a preacher in your
body, who declares he heard the same thing
stated by the same person in another part Of
the country. Scores of others might be
brought to testify to the same facts. Now,
sir, | ask if such conduct is not infamous on
The part Of any man towards the officer Of
any body, mucl, more on the part of a sancii-
fed priest? Yeti understand he denies it.
then Tie preachers who are here in his pres
ence, and who declare he told these things to
them are periured individuals.
Mr.. Chairman, make this case your own.
You have during the year been acting as
Conference Missionary, and making c~ollec-
lions, SC. A brother goes round stating in
public and in private that Edward Smith has
been raising funds, that he has used some Of
them, and he believes you to be embezzIing
monies Of the Society and that he expects
TO be compelled to enter suit against you for
the recovery Of the stolen funds. What
would yon think of him What would you
think of his sanctifcation ? You would think
him an unmitigated %scoundrel! But there
is a difference, am aware, between my case
and the ono supposed. You are in the church
Il am not. Nou are orthodox-I am a her
etc. / feel free to say that | do not expect
this body to do justice in this case,
| would advise the members of this body
to be careful how they countenance the pro-
ceedure Of Thomas Guy and others, in their
mission Of defamation. You allow this case
to pass without rebuke, and you make a pre-
cedent. You pave the way for the same
course 10 be pursued towards yourselves, for
none can tell, no, not even yourself, sir, what
a day or an hour may bring forth. You each
may have 10 pursue the same course I have
before you die, for the same reason, or some
other equally valid.
There is another reason why l am surpri-
'ed that Mr.. Guy should do as he has, and
hat is, that while he is laboring to stamp up
m me the character Of dishonesty, he is gull
y Of the very crime Of which he accuses me.
There is either upon that table, or upon the
way here, charges against the passage of Mr..
character on the ground of fraud,
'hich charges he will have TO meet. But,
ir, will not occupy the attention of the
Conference longer at this time than to say.
black as is the character of Mr.. Guy,
in crime as is his soul, it is white as
he falling snow compared with some others
If this body; but as l only asked to speak
% matters growing out of my relation to the
Missionary Treasury, | desist. Leaving this
natter for adjudication, and again stating that
1t any hour am prepared to settle my ac-
counts.

[NoTr.-We took the liberty of erasing a
sentence from the closing paragraph Of the
foregoing address. 1t was a declaration Of
opinion in regard to the moral character of a
Wesleyan minister, without reference to the
circumstances upon which that opinion was
based. We thought discussion quite irrela-
want TO slavery might, perhaps, grow out Of
it, if admitled.-EDRs1

MEssRs. CHAPMANs--0n my late visit to Madison
and Upton counties, stated, in public addresses and
private conversations, that the lands in the Miami
Reservation would be liable 10 be taken up in virtue
Of bounty and~wafrans, issued to those now in ser
vice. Since my return home learn that the instruc-
lions of the Commissioner of the General Land Office
to The Register lIevsare otherwise.
This decision is surprise to me, as there are GER
tainly words in the law restricting the said lands
from being taken up bounty lands. The law. in
so many words gives each soldier and volunteer 100
acres without restriction, except that the same must
be subject to entry, which the lands in the Reserve
will be, after the sale.
This matter win be presented to tie Secretary OF
the Treasury, in due time, and his decision made
known, so far your paper circulates believe the
decision of the Com Gen. Land Office will be reversed

Wing INooNsIsTENcY.-In the course of recent
article the Ohio Statesman alludes to the gross in
consistency of whggery in relation to the election of
military chieftains 10 the Presidency. 1t asks
"Who does not recolec the predictions of federalism
in 1624-'25 and 80, if General Jackson should be
elected to the Presidency! The country was to be
ruined; the iron arm of military despotism tt
crush Us the civil government was to be superseded
by arbitrary military despotism. All this to
be done by the election of Gen. Andrew Jackson.
Although he had flledthe civil stations of Governor
of his State, Judge of the Court Representative and
Senator in Congress and in fact. nearly all the Sta
tons of civil life were given limb, the people; and yet
his military proves untitled him. in the eyes of fed
eraism for the Presidency And now, to cap the eli
max of their false prophecies and hypocrisy, they pro-
lose TO elect man to the Presidency because he has
proven himself successful military man. They pro-
pose to take Gen. Taylor from the army, where he
has been for Jorty gears without nermission, never
in his life occupying ciril station.
