the law ofright written on the human heart
that if the Bible does really sustain Slave.
nv, the Bible, by that act, demonstrates that
il is not from God, but is false and spurious
but he utterly denied that the Bible did
sustain Slavery--it was Ant-Savery from
Genesis to Revelations.
WIN. III. Burleigh made powerful speech
strongly marked with the logical reasoning
aud the well known eloquence of the Bur,
leighs.
Rev. MIR, Pryne, of Wayne county, spoke
at length upon the duty of political action.
MIR. Goodell rose aud uttered the follow

different moans--yct our ends is the snnle-
Constitution, or no Constituton-Lnw,o or no
Law Government, or no Government
Mllard Fillmore and his army, or no Mil

Charles Sedgewick, Esq, made a very o-
| bic speech. lie said ho did not agree with
MIR. Garrison in many things but Mr.. Gar
rison and his friends claimed the largest lib
erty of speech, and were also willing 10 grant
II TO others. lApplause
Mr.. Sedgewick spoke of the utter wicked
ness of Chauel Sluvery-oft the party tram
inels which too often kept men from doing
their duty to tho slave. He spoke of the
flax cotton, and said that it would probably
change entirely the whole aspect of affairs.
and make the commercial interests of the
land free from the influence of the Slave
Power of'the South; and it was the duty of
all TO assist in every way the development
of this new invention, and the time might
soon come when the hempen plant which the
Mississippi Senator thought only useful TO
hang up his brother Free Soil Senator might
be used TO hang the Slave System as high MS
Heaven! [Great applause.
Mr.. Sedgwick, in the course of his re-
marks, took occasion to rebuke with severity
the hursh language of the early Abolilonists
and their coadjuiors.
MIR. George Thompson replied in his usual
faithful and uncompromisng manner, and
vlndicatcd the language used, saying that the
English vocabulary was poor and bankrupt
of words fit to describe adequately the guilt
Of the Shareholder and of his apologist.
Mr. Sedgwick applied some of the remarks
OF Mr.. Thompson TO himself which Mr..
Thompson declared he never intended for
him, iur he did not consider MIR. Sedgwick
an apologist for slavery.
Mr. Sedgwick reioned to Mr. Thompson,
with great warmth and temper, and was be-
trayed into the utterance of some imputatons
on Mr. Thompson unworthy of both gentle
men.
Mr.. Thompson rojoined, and commented
with much severity on the inconsistency of
the person who demands that the slavehold-
or should he treated with Kindness and per-
sunslon, while he vituperates the advocates
OF the Slave for branding the perpetrators
and apologsts of Slavery as they merit.
The matter was amicably settled in a few
and neither gentleman at this mo-
lnent INDUCES toward the other the slightest
i'll feeling.
The Misses Edmondson were then intro
luced with some feeling remarks from Rev. |
Samuel j. May, upon their history, and q |
touching remembrance to the noble men, |
Messrs. Drayton and Sayres, who now lie In !
prison at Washington for endeavoring to res
cue these fine girls, and others, from life of
degradation aud Slavery.
These young ladies then sang in beautiful
style the song whose chorus is
"The hounds are baying on my track,
o, Christian, will you send me back !"
The audience then rose and sang
"From all who dwell below the skies"
Thus, near midnight, closed Convention
whose influence will be felt throughout this |
broad country, and which will hasten the
downfall Of tyranny in this land and in this
world.
