THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.


CHARLES LIST, Esq, maintained that the
State has been the great instrument of physi-
cal bondage, as the church has been of mem
tai bondage.
WIN. HENRr CHANNrNe spoke, expressing
his deep sympathy with the Aboltionists,
denouncing the violence with which they
had been assailed; but expressing dissent
from some of their views of the Church and
the Constitution. Being questioned by S. s.
Foster, II did not appear that there was any
very material difference of opinion. MIR.
Charming was understood to entirely retract
a charge he made against some of the Abo-
ltionists of Intentionally so speaking as to
be understood to mean very differently, per-
haps wholly the reverse, of what they really
believed.
w. l.. GARRIsoN asked what church orgdni-
zdiion has ever advanced the cuuse OF free
dom, OF acted ms the pioneer of the race out
of social degradation, suffering aud wrong.
Individuals IN the churches have done this,
and been denounced, hated, sacrificed, for
doing il.
Adjourned to IA of o'clock.

Mr.. GARRISON asked leave to introduce TO
the Convention u woman, who had formerly
been slave, but was now residing in North
ampton, in this Stute. Her former name

Sojowner Truth. She spoke about half an
hour with great enrnesiness, evincing an ex-
] traordnary natural shrewdness and wit
The Convention was deeply interested by

thizes with the colorcd citizens of Boston in
their efforts for the equal school rights of their
children, and as friends of Justice, Humanity,
Education, We pledge to them our active co-opc-
ration.
2l Resolved. That in the cvasions, sophisms,
and mere verbal subtletes of the recent dccis-
ion of tho Massachusetts Supreme Court which
strips the colorcd citizen of Boston of his clear
and undeniable rights i'll the public schools, We
see, with regret, palpablc evidence that tho
CfnCl anu NlNpIHcclul ptVJuulCt hbuihob NOANi
which contaninatcs almost every thing Ameri-
can, has crept as high as the Judicial Bench, and
suniced to cloud the perceptions and distort tho
views of those who occupy it.
%. Resolved, That though from weight o
years and its aristocratic constitution, the Bencn
of our State may be beyond any direct pubic
influence, we rejoice to remember that the pup,
lie opinion at whose corrupt bidding it has filed
its law il within our reach and this considera-
ton shall stir us to still more earnest and zeal
Gus efforts so to mould that sentiment as to show
these chiefs OF the law that there is power il
the State still able and disposed, in spite of thei
preiudiees, to carry out the first line OF our Con
sttution, and make them recognize every maj
4 as equal before the law.
