the ocers Of do mob represent the people
and 10 do Ii bnt even though know those things,

Mr. GRRlsos and after haunting the last speaker
and telling him the passion for voting seed in
America he tells us said he that Willard Fillmore Is not
governor nor does any government exist but still he
says are not 10 away from Willard Fillmore aud his
government MT Garrison then conte nded that his
right TO exam inc the constitution to examine and handle
it and there might be nineteen twenty articles
which could like, but tine twentieth might be Immoral
and such could subscribe to; but TO ret 70
the nineteen which approve must swear to support
the whole Now this cannot will do but let me be
understood we are not anarchiss-we are ,oyrrnm.nt
men; but II Is the govcrnment vi God man. and
therefore cannot take an oath TO support constu-
that gives the stakeholder chatte interest in his
fellow creature and cannot to it. because II gives
to the government the physical power Of the country
hunt and carry men into slavery. cannot swear to
support that constitution, because cannot uphold It,
and therefore, there is no union between us.
Mr.. WRIGHT followed Mr.. Garrison, and in reply 10

Fnrp DorcI.ass rose TO speak.
Mr GAY one II the secretaries rose to call the aten

Mr. GoonAiI said he could not vote for of the
solutions now before the meeting unless they al
lowed 10 into the question Of civil government
d.esss that question thoroughly II would take them
three days. We understood Mr. GooIall 20 take the
ground in opposition to brother Garrison and brother
Wright. that the American constitution Il anti slavery,
ana not pro-savery ana he also insisted in opposition
TO them, that subjects Of al civil governments rpon
shle to those ents and them allegiance lie
further coptended that the United States constitution
not only anti slavery but clothed the people OF th,
Union with power to abolish slavery lie also took the
ground, that when the liberty Of stricken

down lie went on then 10 define h. position lie said
he believed in the right Of the states to seccdc aud
then the question recurs, ought they 10 do il. lie
contended that If the States north of Mason and
Dixons line believed they had an anti slavery con
stitution, they ought not to secede, but go and
abolish slavery but do this they must have Judiciary
when they get Judiciary LEI them then bring the
ton before that judiciary, and test IL. Mr. Gooda said
he hoped would be long before they should arrive al
that point when II would become necessary to dissolve
that the constitution Is pro-slavery, take their own
course, and he would take hbut still they might
together-and he wished it to BE- understood by the
editor OF the N.u York Herald that although there
anti slavery liberty party liberty league men,
and all other Of here to-day and although the
confusion of Babel il amongst them and even though
the Union, the constitution, the government, and the
President tramped in the dust slavery must and
will be abolished Here stormy discussion took place
anslavcry men, The result Of which was, that brother
Burleigh and brother Pryne took the liberty league
platform.
After some remarks from brother Bulegh defining his
position
Brother MAY asked him if hs had any right
to vote, and If 30 did she 60 to the polls.
Brother BuRlrIcH said she certainly had and voted
through him.
An adjournment was then NOV ed until seven clock
The proceedings were commenced with song by the
audience.
Mr.. srpewIcx, of Syracuse, was introduced to the
meeting. He said IL was not because Mr. Garrison
pected him to endorse all his that he put him
here; but because he (Gason) respects the liberty OF
speech He kpows that disagree with him in maay Of
the doctrines which he holds there many Of the
principles which relate TO the great question met
10 discuss in which For example, We agree in
that great moral principle that cannot have
property in another We also in the principle,
that man l. not mere machine. Il was for
merly held BY kings and empcrors and that those kings
and .mperors could manufacture machine that could

IL cruel. unjust, and tyranDical, that should
hold property in another We also hold in that
the slave Is entitled to hs liberty At aud that the
