THE ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

ington, Concord and Bunker Hill merit i'm
mortality, unspeakably more does CnRrsTIA-
MA merit it.
Whereas, There are ani-slavery men
who join in public demonstrations of res
pect TO Fillmore aud Webster and other such
conspicuous aud murderous enemies of the
human race therefore,
Resolved, That we would abate the pro-
slavery exultation over this humiinting in
consistency by publishing the fact, that these
anti-savery men are not of the Garrison
type, nor of the Liberty Party type, but only
Of the free soil type.
On the morning after the rescue, the Con-
vention assembled at 8 o'clock. A large au-
dienco was present, when Gerrt Smith pre-
sented the following resolutions. BY note
from Gerrit Smith, which we publish to-day
it will be seen that the Liberty Party have
no candidate for the Presidency. But from
these resolutions, it will be seen that they
have something better manly hearts, and
wills sternly bent upon maintaining the
right.
Gerrit Smith offered the following resolu-
tions:
Whereas, Daniel Webster, that base and
infamous enemy of the human race, did, in
a speech, of which he delivered himself in
Syracuse, last spring, exultingly aud insult
irgly predict, that fugitive slaves would yet
he taken away from Syracuse, and even
from anti-slavery Conventions in Syracuse
aud, whereas, the attempt to fulfil this pre-
diction was delayed until the first day of Oc-
tober, 1851, when the Liberty Party of the
State of New York were holding their An
nual Convention in Syracuse and, whereas,
the attempt was defeated 10y the majestic
and mighty uprising of two thousand five
hundred brave men, before whom the hall
dozen kidnappers were but "as tow;" there
fore,
Resolved, That we rejoice that the city o
Syracuse--the anti-slayery city of Syracuse
tho city of anti-slavery Conventions-ou
beloved and glorious city of Syracuse
remains undsgrHccd by the luliilment of the
satanic prediction of the satanic DAME
Webster.
Resolved, That the gratitude of our heart,
goes out to the God of the oppressed for the
defeat Of this attempt to replunge a pool
brother into the horrors and hell of slavery
r aud that, although we are pleased to know
that the outraged and indignant people spar.
ed the life of every one Of the kidnappers
, we, nevertheless, feel bound to declare, that
if any class of criminals deserve to he struck
down in instant death, it is kidnappers.
Resolved, That, Notwithstanding, the en-
actment of the Fugitive Slave Law" ant
the general 0cquiescenco in it, under the in.
llueuce of devil.prompted speeches of politi
clans aud devil-prompted sermons of priests
give fearful evidence that this is a doomed
aud damned nation; we, nevertheless, can
> not iorbear to derive some little hope frou
I, the recent resistance TO kldnappers in Penn
sylvania, and from the resistance to them
, yesterday, in Syracuse, that patient an,
! long-suffcring God has not left this superla
, lively wicked nation to perish.
Resolved, That every fresh denonstra
. ton of the character and claims of SLAYER
serves TO bind the principles of the Libert
Party still closer and closer to our hearts
aud to make it more manifest, that we hav
no right to vote for any person for civil oi
fice-however high or however low may
