Annual Meeting.

The 9th Annual Meeting of the WESTERN
ANrI-SLAvERY SocIETY will be held at Sa-
lem, Columbiana Co., on Wednesday, Thurs
day, and Friday, the 10th, 18th, and 18th Of
August, commencing at 10 o'clock, A. NJ.
Let a full representation Of the slaves
friends come up on this occasion from all
parts of the Great West. The political lead
ers are marshalling their hosts for a conflict,
their followers are rallying by hundreds of
thousands to the support of their party BAN
ners. Time, and money, and labor are ex-
pended to secure their object. And shall the
friends of Freedom, whose faith should be
strong in the power Of Truth, be lukewarm
and Indifferent while politicians are SO ear
nest in their labors, so untiring in their zeall
The events of the past year should encourage
us TO renewed effort, for every movement of
importance which has been made, having any
bearing upon the question Of slavery, fore
shadows the destruction of the system, and
the oppressors feel that it is so. The politi-
cal parties will make a desperate effort TO save
themselves from the destruction their coTrup-
ton has brought upon them; and the efforts
of the abolitionists to maintain and enforce
the Right should be proportionably great
Arrangements should be made at the coming
meeting to continue the anti-slavery agitation
by the lips of the living speaker, and to ex-
tend more widely the circulation of the So
ciety's paper-the Anti.Slavery Bugle. Let
none of the friends who can be there, absent
themselves for any light cause, for the pre-
sence of all, and the counsel of all is desira-
BILE.
Besides the friends of Liberty in the West
who will be present on the occasion, HENRY
G. WRIGHT and CHAs. &. BURLEIGH are ex-
pected to be in attendance, and perhaps other
representatives of the East.

by his laudation Of the comfortable fare Of
Virginia slaves, his "Pottraits Of Reformers,"
his eulogium Of the sound constitutional
views of the judicial executioner Of poor Van
Zandt for hiding certain o%u,casts, or even his
prostitution Of Paul's authority, in a more re-
cont article on ''Incivism," to the support OF
the Internal stuff called ''patriotism." BY
the way, 10 what base uses the Apostle Paul
J az been put, on one occasion and another!
]. was bad enough, to hear, as We have so
often heard, women-despisers, men-stealers,
and drunkards, quote Paul for tying the
tongues, and Otherwise degrading the better
half of humanity, for kidnapping men, and
for g%uzzling wine. But, to find that Apostle
qnoted. by a professed philanthFopist, and in
tho midst Of a people already inflated with
notions of their superior Importance, abso-
lutely drunken with vanity, TO swell the
'pride Of palriotism," this was a little too
much.

hood" 1t was he, it will be remembered,
on whom was inflicted thirty lashes in Nash
vile, Tennessee, a few years since, by the
direction Of an ecclesiastical committee Of a
mob in that place. He said but little that
was Objectionable, while most Of his remarks
were bold and thrilling truths. He is an
engaging, earnest, and forcible speaker
He addressed his remarks to the children.
and soon their attention was riveted upon
him. "God," said he, " educates man for
the tines" He gave a thrilling account of
Burritt's progress from his awkward boyhood
up to man. "Such are the men," said he,
" the age demands. We want such but we
want none Of your Rough and Ready's.'"
Most he said was on the Peace question. 1t
formed a perfect contrast with the s~oulless
twaddle OF most that others said.
He was followed by another Methodist
priest named Hurd. He undertook to talk
about the importance Of sticking to the 90
vernment, &c. But he manifested 80 little
knowledge Of what he wished to say, and so
little ability to know anything about it, or
anything else, that most he did was to make
all glad when he got through.
Rev. Mr.. Roberts closed up by saying,
Ave live under a very excellent govern
ment." That was his speech-he had time
to say no more.
In the proceedings there appears one ex.
ceedingly encouraging feature. The priest
hood feels that this old Bastile of slavery,
the Government of the United States, is in
danger. Hence, in some way or other, eve
ry speaker felt called upon to sound the tocsin
of alarm, and rally his forces to the rescue.
If we were not feared, we would not thus be
noticed. May the Bugle's blasts be yet more
startling TO these enemies Of liberty, and
more %efiectual in rallying the anti.slavery
hosts to do battle v%aliantly for humanity.
Yours for the triumph,
II. w. CURTIS.

Celebration of the 4th in Wayne.

FRIENps JONES:
To-day is the "glorious 4th," and | have
Just witnessed a glorious exhibition incident
to the day. The day was glorius to those
who founded this bloody empire, because it
wrested the scepter Of irresponsible and ty-
r%annical power from other hands, and placed it
in their own. The proceedings of this day
to which | allude were peculiarly appropriate
to those who have received and hold on to
this scepter, and lay its crushing weight on
5000, 900 of slaves!
1t was styled a Sabbath School Celebra-

A Chapter of History.
Recording Sec'ry.

Every one can remember with what in
dignation our Liberty party friends reru-
dated the idea presented by the Disunionists,
that they would naturally and inevitably
lower their standard of Right, in order to
gain acquisitions to their ranks. mo-"
said they, "our position is taken, and we
cannot be moved. Others must come TO US,
zoe will not go to them" They doubtless
believed they could stand firm, and were de-
termined to adhere to the principles they laid
down; but their success depended upon
numbers, and Expediency, with her syren
song and glowing promise, ever stood ready
to tempt them to the path of Availability.
What was prophesy in the mouths of Dis
unionists three years ago, is history now
In their National Convention at Buffalo, they
discarded the doctrine that gave life to them
as a party, and nominated for their candidate
Constitution, and who was not even satisfied
in his own mind that Congress had a right
to abolish the interstate slave trade. John
p. Hale was made the nominee of Liberty
party, on precisely the same ground that the
Democrats nominated Cass, and the Wings
Taylor-on the ground of availability. They
were not satisfied with the man, his standard
of abolition was far lower than that of many
a veteran in their ranks whose talents and
competency were at least equal to his, but
they believed he would gain more votes for
their party than any other nominee who would
consent to stand as their candidate.
This was the first general lowering of their
platform, and it was done to accommodate a
few thousands. Since then great changes
have developed themselves in The political
world. Tens of thousands, and, it may be,
hundreds of thousands, have broken their
party ties, and, although they are not pre-.
pared to take as ultra ground as the members
OF Liberty party hare done, or even the lower
position they now occupy, yet they are much
nearer them than are the old Conservative
Wings and COMMUNICATING Democrats
and Expediency suggests the propriety Of
Liberty party r~eceding a few steps to meet
them-not far, but just far enough to enable
all their forces TO unite on a common plat.
form. In what spirit the suggestion has
been received, he that runneth can read.
We are aware that it is somewhat difficult
to judge of the style or proportion of a build
ing by a specimen brick, but we may form
some idea Of the material of which it is com.
posed by such an exhibition and for this
reason We are induced to notice at some length
the proceedings of a Convention which was
called by Liberty party, and me. at Hanover,
in this county; first promising that we have
as much confidence in the frmness and in
tegrity Of the party in Columbiana, as in any
other section Of country.

After the morning meeting on Sunday, II.
c. Wright went on TO Mecca, to hold a meet
ing there in the evening. Charles and I join
ed him on the following day. At Mecca the
churches were closed against the discussion
Of anti-slavery. There are two churches, |
believe, Congregational and f. Methodist.
Our friend George Baker is pastor Of the
Congregational church, and protested against
the house being closed. lie is sick with the
ague; yet was he found at the meetings, Civ
ing his influence on the side of right. The
meetings were held in warehouse and school
house. The Methodist priest, the Rev. Mr..
Herd, was asked to give notice Of the meet
ing, which he did, urging his members as
a minister Of the Gospel Of Christ, to stay
away; telling them that we were infjels,
seeking TO destroy the church of the living
God. lie said We were like the cat in the
fable, that called the mice and rats together,
then pounced on them and devoured them
How dignifed! This pastor comparing his
flock TO uernin.
But although Mr.. Herd knew that we were
come to destroy, he left his flock and fed
away. How true the description Of the hire
ling by Jesus, as exhibited in this case
The hireling hee,h because he careth not
for the sheep" How contemplate is the
conduct Of such men, who stand and raise
the cry Of infjel; then, on the first appear
ance of those whom they brand as infdels,
fly as though their salvation depended upon
it.
From Mecca we went to New Lyme, where
we were kindly entertained at the house of
William Demming, who is a warm friend Of
the slave, although he still adheres TO the
Wing party, but not the Taylor Wings. All
through the country, and especially in the
District of }. K. Giddings, there are hundreds
who will not cast their votes for a slavehold-
er. The meetings at New Lyme were good,
held all day. Here | parted company with
brothers Wrigh. and Burleigh, they going on
to .Austinburgh, l remaining TO lecture on
Wednesday evening. Some boys made the

Of arbitrary power throughout the. world.
Holding these opinions, you have duties To-
perform as impsrtah, as they are delicate.--
Ia the first place you should adhere infexi-
bly, to the opinions, as long as you believe
them to be right, and no longer. This YOU
will do. In the next place yon should pre-
sent your views in regard 10 them, camly
and distinctly but firmly to your political
brethren of the slaveholding states, with a
full statement of the reasons on which they
are founded, that those reasons may be
controverted if they are not sound. This
you have done. In other import ant respects
your positions are unassailable.
The movement to advance the principle
you desire to promote, was commenced ia
the right place, though, perhaps, not at the
most desirable moment, and was not accom-
panied by partizan measures or founded on
political designs of any description; as far
as know or have reason to believe.
understand your course, your delegates
went to the convention prepared to accept
the nomination Of any sound democrat who
had not actually submitted to a test which
implicated the well known and repeatedly
expressed opinion ofyo state, without inter
rogating him in regard to his opinions on
this particular question. In taking this
ground you pursued the only course by
which the democratic party of the Union
has hitherto organized, can be perpetuated,
and the lust and fair minded men OF the par-
ty everywhere, will when the present ex-
citement has passed away, approve your
conduct. One thing more, and your whole
action will, in the end, attract attention and
enlist the good feelings of all just and gener-
Gus minds. Let your further proceedings
in this whole matter, be distinguished by
moderation and forbearance.
| When the election is over, and reason re-
sumes her empire, the ground which has
been tax en- by your southern brethren, will
be reviewed with ca!mncss and if found to
be un;enable, you are bound to believe
that it will be consolation TO know that
you have done nothing unnecessarily,
which may then become incurable.
Injustice must be Observation-Disclosures
repealed; and all this can be done, with de-
cency and without impeachment Of the mo-
tives of whole communities, on account Of
the conduct of individuals. The situation
of your political brethren in the slave hold
ing states, is not as favorable TO calm dis
cuSsion and dispassionate consideration as
yours, aud more will therefore, in this re-
spect, be expected at your hands. If your
difference must continue do you atleast sns-
tain your views without vituperation or uu-
necessary excitement of any description
Exemplifying your frmness and your con-
fidence in the justice of your cause, bv
the best of all tests-the dignity and moder-
alton with which you uphold it.

ions contained in your letter, and believe
me to be.
