The proceedings of the Ax.i-Sloscry
Cossvenfloa at Syracuse, which was going
on simultaneously with the Coxrentson at
Charleston, form an admirable match to
to the latter, In temper and desires, though
differing widely in composition. The
Southern Convention. we presume, from the
account, was quite respectable body,and
a fair representation OF the general opinions
Of the people Of South Carolina. But the
Syracuse gathering was made up of the
same noted fanatics, who have been per-
forming thesam thing over and over again
for ten years past; a motley crew OF men,
women, negroes, mulattoes, and foreign
ers, drawn from half dozen States. But
they were Just as bent on disunion as the
men at Charleston, as will beseen from the
following resolution by the Rev. Mr. May.
"Resoircd, That cur controversy IS with
theexistence of slavery itself on American
soil that we indulge in no dreams of its
limitation, modification, or gradual re-
moval; that nothingis gained, but very
much is lost, by attempting to conciliate
its demon-spirit by evasion, procrastina-
ton, or compromise; that to talk of re-
sisting its aggressions, or holdingitin check,
while tolerating it as system, is most la
mentable delusion that any political or
religious alliance with ii is sinful and sui
cidal-''a covenant with death and an a
greement with he'll )" and that the only
standard under which the friends of free
dom can consistently rally is that which
bears the inscription, mo Union with slave
holders"
But though Union with Shareholders in
general was SO intolerable, they confessed
they rather liked the South Carolinians.-
We read:
The resolutions under discussion were
laid upon the table, that Mr.. Quincy might
submit the following:
"Resolrcd, That while we regard with
adherence theinhuman purpose ofthe pre-
sent secession movement in South Caro-
lima to wit: the greater security of slavery,
we cannot but perceive that its leaders and
constituent members are the only public
men and the only pollticaibodyin the coun-
try that display courageous determine
ton to maintain what they esteem TO be
their rights in the face Of tremendous odds,
and that while we detcst their object we
cannot but admire their spirit.
"Resoired, That, odious as have been
the governing principles of South Caro-
lima for the last twenty years, we cannot
withhold from her the praise justly due to
her consistent maintenance Of the great
cardinal doctrine of the rights of secession
by the single State doctrine vital to
liberty, and the only safeguard ofthe seve-
ralsovcreisniics from the tyranny ola crush
ing Capitalization"
The resolutions were unanimously IA
