Liberty National Convention.
TO The Members of The Liberty Party Of the Unitet

TO The Members of The Liberty Party Of the United
States.
The Presidential election of l848 is fastening on.--
1t is time the faithful friends of Liberty should meet
to nominate true and tried their candidates for
the Offices Of President and Vice President of the u
nted States. The National Corresponding Commit
tee have taken the best in their power to judge
both of the sentiments of the people and the signs of
the times as to what course the true interests of the
party and the permanent good Of the cause require
and they have concluded to call the National Nomina-
tine Convention to meet at the City of Buffalo, in the
State of New York. on Wednesday, the Goth day of
October at 10 o'clock, A. NJ 1t is thought best that
the Convention should be organized as
MASS MEETING,
to which all members of the Liberty party are fully
invited, to participate in its deliberations and concu
sions In voting on the nominations, however, each
State will be entitled to the number of votes that
has in the electoral college, thar is, the number of
its senators and representatives in Congress. 1t is
believed that the following method will secure as ex-
act Justice as is attainable in the details:
l. Any delegate may represent district, if be is
chosen by district convention, properly called.
2. If State has chosen its quota Of delegates at
regular State Convention, these delegates or a ma
orty Of them, if present, shall cast the vote Of the
State, either individually collectively, as they may
agree
g. If State Convention has made any other pro-
VISION LOT throwing us NOlV SUCH IOFloOH SlIdIl
A. in the failure Of all these, the members OF the
party present from any State, may hold meeting by
public notice, and decide how the vote of their State
shall be cast.
5. If they do not decide, then all the members pres
en shall vote the nomination, and their vote shall
stand as the vote of the State
George w. Johnson, Esq, Of Buffalo, is requested
to make arrangements on behalf Of The committee, for
obtaining suitable place for the meeting.
Editors Of Liberty papers requested to circulate

OF sentiment Of Eree-HW Baptist ministers upon The
subject Of Slavery
Whereas, the system of American Slavery is not
only political curse to the States where it exists, and
the Mountaineering our taxes, threatening our
peace and prosperity nurng our reputation, and dark
ening our prospects, but is ALSO direct violation of
the Law Of Benevoence, and the Obligations enforced
by our Religion; setting aside necessarily that great
Fundamental Principle of Equality, which is necessary
to the happiness of all human society; tramplng un-
der foot those relations which every social privilege
and enjoyment Is based; sustaining and encouraging
War, LlcontiouSness, Gambling, Sabbath-breaking
Profanity, and almost every sin with which our land is
cursed; preventing not only the influence but the
preaching Of the Gospel and the PRONUNCIATION Of the
truths of the Bible: Withholding from almost onesixth
OF our entire population even the instruction necessary
to knowledge Of the plan OF salvation; therefore,
We, the undersigned ministers of the FreewiIl
Baptist ConneXion consider it duty to state def
nltey our views and position upon this subject, andto
present before the world our solemn Protest against
the continuance Of this fearful outrage upon humanity
Believing, as we do, that the sympathy of no holy
being IN the Universe can for moment be given to
this foul system, and that neither the principles of the
Gospel nor indications of Providence constitute the
least apology for its continuance, we wish publicly
to Withdraw all implied or supposed voluntary political
or moral support OF this enormous evil Our neces-
sary AMI involuntary connection with the civil and So
cal organizations now existing, which seems to give
to each of us the character and reputation of the body
unless by personal public dissent from their errors and
crimes we throw the responsibility exclusively upon
those who support the evils of VIII oh we complain,
renders it more necessary for us to announce I'M
willingness to sanction the system of slavery in any
manner whatever The view thus taken of this sub
ject will render it perfectly inconsistent for us to give
our surages or religious influence for the support OF
slavery.
We therefore, by refusing to support slavery, its
principles or its advocates, and by withholding Chris
tan and church fellowship from all guilty of the sin
of slavery, and by remembering those in bonds as
bound with them, would wish to wash our hands from
the guilt of this niquy.
Believing principles just, and the position we
occupy such as God can approve and defend, and
trusting in Almighty Grace, we pledge for the support
Of these principles, and those in which they are en-
bodled our earnest prayers combined influence and
our most rigorous e9oHs Signed by 39G ministers.

NEW HAMPsHIRE.-We have the gratifying intel
ligence that AMOS Tuck, the candidate of the indie
pendents and Liberty men, and also voted for by the
wings, has been elected to Congress in the LIST Iaes
congressional District, by about 1000 majority. Mr..
Tuck, although young man, is lawyer of decided
ability. He has acted with Mr.. Hale for the last two
or three years, end belongs to all nents and pur-
poses with the Liberty Party. The Slave Power will
find him troublesome customer in the House, as it
will Hale inthe Senate.
Gen. Wilson, of Keene-'ta Jm"-tho wing can
ddate has also been elected in the Sd District by 300
or 400 majority.

STRANGE ROCEEDING Gs IN THE I
NEW JERSEY I.EGISI. ATTIRE


Some very strange scenes have been en-.
acted in the Legislature Of New Jersey dur
ing the past week. The charter Of the Plain
field Bank, which had been granted with all
duo solemnity, and perhaps enrolled on
parchment and bearing ihes seal Of tho state,
has been invaded, revoked and annullsd for
ever Those "vested rights" those "char-
tered privileges have all been violated by
the Legislature Of New Jersey during the
past week. II was almost the work Of an
instant. In less than forty-eight hours, if
we mistake not, after the first step was taxi
en-, the work was done. The members
seemed to vie with each other in their rapid
ity ofaction. 7eA& WI 'aAa1s,'ss
( The legislature ofNew Jersey ID wkig by
a large majority. The numbe, Of democrats
is so small that they can exercise but little
control upon its action. The Governor Of
the state is sironsly attached to the whig
party, and long ere this time that notoriously
"pread seal" has been attached to an act OF
legislation repealling "yested rights" and
''chur.ered rights And this was done by
whg hands and by whig votes. What will
The people Of New Jersey think Of this acti
In their astonshment they have as yet been
silent. Wings by handsome majority, and
warmly attached to whig principles, they in
nocenily yet honestly, thought that by elect
ing whig governor and whg legislature
they were committing the management Of
public affairs to those who believed in the
inviolability Of ''vested rights" who had al
ways proclaimed the sacred nature Of char
ters, aud denounced in the vilest terms the
democratic doctrine that all such things were
subject 10 be repealed by the legislature
Where now can the bankers Of New Jersey,
the Incorporated manufacturers, the insur-
ancs companies, and all other whose svested
rights" have been sheltered under the wing
Of the wbig party look for safetyf The whig
party now believe that charters may be re-
pealed, aid that "yesied rights" may be re-
voked.
As for the repeal Of the charter Of fhe
Plainfeld Bank, we have no objections to it
whatever.. The democratic party has stead
lily maintained that all charters were subject
to repeal by the legislature. For this doe
trine its members have been constantly de-
nounced BY the wings as adesructives,"
"lsvellsrs," ard ready TO pull down the "sa-
cred institutions of society" Now we have
the wings with US. We welome them TO our
sentiments as to the enjoyment Of the true
faith. We congratulate them that they have
shown such skilful hands in repsaiing "char-
ters" and revoking "vestsd rights" We
cannot refrain from bestowiag all praise upon
the quickness with which.the deed was done.
No time was allowed for any compunctons
to arise. One fell swoop and all was over.
The wings Of New Jersey had become dem
ocrats on the subject Of repeating charters.
Now then, we trust that we shall hear no
more from the whg party in denuncia,on of
repeating charters, or reproachng the doc
trine and conduct Of the democrats On this
subject
