hood and Church. II Is moreover an honest
and manly position, and /, is preferable to any
other, because it saves us from the necessity
Of discussing questions which do not lie
within The proper domain Of a philanthropic
and humanitsry association, that seeks a union
Of effort, upon a simple question of morals,
between men Of all varieties Of opinion on
other subjects.
II is not TO be concealed that Abolitionists
are divided in opinion in respect 10 the teach
ings Of the Bible on the subject Of Sla-
very. A large portion Of them (and we are
among the number) believe that, rightly in
,erpreied, il does not in any way sanction the
system. Others think that the Old Tesla
ment sanctions while the New condemns it.
Others are in doubt on the whole question,
and a few probably believe that the Book. as
a whole, is in favor Of the system. But they
are all agreed that Slavery is a Moral Wrong,
whether sanctioned or condemned by the BIZ
BILE; and why should they leave their sppro-

Church will, We know, set up the cry of In

age Of the world when they have found them

formers or TO resist the power and the wis

to the welfare of outraged humanity,
needs not the endorsement of a priest TO es-
tablish the genuineness of his pie,y, and need
be dismayed though a false Church deny
him the Christian name. The man, on the

other authority, or who seeks 10 battle the eE-

exhibits on other questions, he will discover
that his demand upon the Abolitionists above
expressed is unreasonable and absurd.

she hoped so much benefit. This is the
fifth death which has taken place within 1--WE

Young Peoples Convention.

Our friends in different places are at length
responding with a proper earnestness and en-
thusiasm in favor of the proposition for hold
ing a Convention OF the ti-Slavery Young
Men and Women Of Ohio during the ensuing
Autumn. The letters we publish this week
are most cheering. We are gratifed now in
being able to say, that the question is deci-
ded-THE CONVENTION WILL BE HELD. The
question Of time and place has been referred
by the Executive Committee 10 a Committee
Of Arrangements, and the Call will probably
be issued next week. 1t will probably be held
on The 2lst, 22d, and 23d Of September, (com-
mencing at 2 P. M. on Friday and closing on
Sunday either at Youngstown, Berlin, or
Randolph. We say probably, because we
have no authority as yet TO speak more posi-
lively.
The Committee Of Arrangements, con-
sisting of Oliver Johnson, Joel Mcmillan,
James Barnaby, David L. Galbreath, Sarah
Coates, ]. Elizabeth Jones, Sally b. Cove,
and Margaret Hlse, are requested, without
farther notice, 10 meet at the room OF the Ed
itor of the Dngle, on Tuesday next, at 3 o.
clock, p. NJ.

SELMA, Clark Co., 7 mo. %, AZ.
AT the meeting appointed on the 22nd at
Green Plain, for F. Douglass, a concourse Of
people assembled that would have more than
filled our Westinghouse four times.
Several were present from a distance Of
from Is TO 40 miles. The evening before,
word reached us of Frederick's illness. We
were sorrow-stricken for him and the disap.
pointed audience, SOM of whom had never
presented themselves before at an ~Anti-Slave-
~ meeting. The mass concluded, however,
by unanimous vote, that a meeting ought to
be held. AS none of US were lecturers, we
held what is called a religious meeting, and
for two hours or more the multitude gave quiz
Ell and earnest attention 10 what was offered
for their consideration. One of the speakers
was a Wesleyan minister.
Before the conclusion, the case Of r. Dill
bingham was presented, and resulted in wri.
ting the enclosed letter, which was adopted
with a cordial u%nanimity.

DEBT OF GRATITUDE.-Our friend SAMUEL
MAY, Jr., having been invited TO attend the
meeting for the presentation 10 Mr.. Garrison
Of a Silver Pitcher, in behalf Of his coloIed
friends in Boston, wrote a letter from which
We copy the following extract. 1t embodies
a sentiment TO which every true friend of the
slave will heartily respond:
We all owe a great debt to Mr.. Garrison for
the light and truth which he has compelled this
unwilling and guilty people TO see and ac-
knowledge, and for the unshrinking and I'M
iesilaiing devotion he has manifested in be-
half Of the enslavcd, as well as Of all other
suffering men. 10 this respect, it is not the
colored people alone whom he has made his
debtors. Mich as They owe him, under God,
the debt which the stakeholder and his abet-
tors,-his brolher-oppressors in every part of
the Union,-owe, is even greater, though not
recognized, and by the most Of them never to
be perceived in this world. For the ,Urong-
doer is in a worse and more deplorable bon
dage than even his most outraged pieiim and
whatever tends to bring an end to the abom-
Unable system which thus connects tyrant and
victim, is a benefit to them both, and TO the
former certainly not less, all things consider
ed, than 10 the latter. This cruel and cow
ardly nation. therefore, and every individual
member of it, who has been brought 10 see
the sin Of slavery, and the duty of its imme-
diate abolition, is a debtor, 10 an unspeakable
degree, To the man who, firm and fearless,
lifted up his voice in our midst with the no
BILE declaration, : | will not be silent; | will
not extenuate; | will not retreat a single
inch, and ! will be heard

that RICHARD ~DLLINGHAM, a young man oil

Of slaves, we are induced from the prompt
ings of sympathy for the prisoner 10 express
