Notice wus given that an officer wns in
I the city, charged with arrcsiing person MS n
\ fugitive slave. The description OF the slave
was given. Mr.. May, of Syracuse, reminded
the audience of Daniel Wcbster's threat, TINT
n fugitive slave should bc taken out of Syra-
cuse in the very midst ofan Anti.Slavery Com
venliUn. Mr. Webster attempted il ut Syra-
cuse,ns is well knowu,and failed; aud having
been disappointed there, he is, perhaps,
seeking To Try his luck in Rochester. IL was
moved thata Vigilance Committee be at once
organized; hut it was replied that one al
ready existed in the city. A deep feeling
was manifested; in the midst of which, the
Sociely adjourned to the evening.

o'clock, 10y the President.
The several resolutions before the Society
were read and the meeting was successive

dell Phillips and VIM. l.. Garrison. Mr.
Remond was very strong in his dcnuncia-
ton of the Fugitive Slave Law, as II law to
he tramplcd under foot at all hazards, aud at
all times. Mr. Phillips showed how far
greater our enterprise is when prosecuted
upon moral grounds than whcr based upon,
or mixed up with political schemes aud par
Ties. We need have no fear. Ii the public
sentiment is right there will always be law
yers ouough, aye aud Courts enough aud

sentiment. Let not the people suffer them

Mr.. Garrison commented upon MIR. Phillips
remarks la excuse of the great body of the
clergy, as deferred from doing their Ami
Slavery duty through fear OF losing their
support aud that of their families. lie
thought such defence would not he welcomed
10y the clergy themselves. They are men
who know their duty, and who have been

WEDNESDAY.

Tie forenoon was occupied in al Informal
discussion amongst the mcmhcrs of the So
cicty aud others. But the meeting not being
n session OF the Society, no record is here
made.
AFTERNOoN.-The Society met nj COrin-
THAN Hall, aud were called 10 order at o.
clock by the President.
The Business Committee reported the fol-
lowing resolution:
g. Resolved, That Slavery is wrong,
whose existence for one hour, no circuu-
stance, luw, constitution, book, or being in
| the universe, is competent TO make right ;
and il is our duty TO feel, speak, and act to-
waIds whatever sanctions il, precisely rs we
feel, speak and act towards Slavery itself.
1t was discussed by II. G. Wright, Rev.
Mr.. Pickard, aud Joseph Barker.
The following resolutions were also re-
portcd
z. Resolved, That lin the language OF
John Quincy Aduns) sit cannot he denied
the siavehoIding lords of the South prescrib-
cd, as Il condition of their assent to the Con-
sttution, three special provisions to secure
| the perpetuity of their dominion over their
slaves. The first was the immunity, for
twenty years, OF preserving the African slave
trade; the second was the stipulation To sur
render fugitive slaves-nn engagement posi-
lively prohibited by the laws OF God deliv-
cred from Sinai; and, thirdly, the eXnclion,
fatal 10 the principles of popular representa-
! ton for slnves--ior articles OF merchandise,
under the name of persons"
&. Resolved, (also in the language of Mr.
Adams,) That"IO call government thus cou-
sliluled democracy, is TO insult the under
standing of mankini; that il is douby tuint-
ed with the infection of riches aud slavery
that its reciprocal operation upon the govern
ment of the nation is TO establish an artificial
minority in the slave representation over that
of the free people in the American Congress
aud thereby to make the PRESERVATION,
PROPAGATION AND PERPETUATlON
OF SLAVERY THE VITAL AND AM.
MATING SPIRIT OF THE NATIONAL
GOVERNMENT"
8. Resolved, That the first duty of every
friend TO the slave is To come out from such q
compact aud TO refuse every act and every
office which binds him 20 fidelity TO such q
Constitution, or 10 take an oath in its sup.
port.
Wendell Phillips made a clear argument
in support of the resolutions, frequently an
swering questions put to him by individuals
in the audience. Ii was farther discussed
by Samuel ID. Porter, of Rochester, IL. G
Wright and Frederick Douglass.
At o'clock, Mr.. Douglass gave way, will

A Governor hlObbrd.

A slave named Jordan IIa,hor killed his
oversecr near Richmond, Va, was tried,
found guilty, aud "ordered" 10 he hung, on
the Dbl April.
The killing occurred thus wise. The
overseer, Jackson, found souie dirty tobacco
stems on the "hoy's" bench. The slave
begged his forgiveness, and promised not so
TO offend again. Jackson replied TO hun,
"may he 50, but you shall he whipt," and
commenced chastisug him with cow-hide.
The slave seized the " "cOwhitie" after receiv-
ing several severe blows. Jackson ordered
him " To let go, and step near the stove !" he
Obeyed. The oyerseer Then piled The " cow
hide" with grenler severity. The slave agnin
seized it, aud refused to let il 20, when order

The boy then seized the iron poker lying at
his feet, and icled the overseer to tho floor.

Of the blow.

orr o,strlet Convention.

The Fayetteville Observer of the 4th leads of in
an article upon our recent District Convention and
the Herald of last Wednesday follows suit. The chief
fault found is with the fact that the resolutions did
not especially allude to the compromise measures.
And in the second place they severely exercised
regard to the expression of any preference for
the Presidency.
We thought that we had already assigned, in a
former issue, a reason for the omission of our Con-
vent;on to allude to the compromise measures. In
the present position of affairs, the stand which the
Southern Democracy have taken upon this subject is
as distinctly known as any resolutions could make
it--they Will acquiesce in them-insist upon them
fnality-and require the rigorous and faithful
execution of the Fugitive Slave Law; but they will
not exat what they regard measures OF encroach-
ment upon their rights into the position of funda-
mental principles. If our contemporaries of the OBJ
server and the Herald really desire know the
position of the party upon this subject understood
throughout the State. we would refer them to the
resolutions of State Convention, which will as
semble next week in Raleigh. We can distinctly
say, however, that the party will support man
who is not pledged to faithful execution Of the Fu-
gtive Slave Law. This much will be distinctly as
serted and insisted upon by our State Convention,
and acted upon by our people, while, as contrast,
the Wing leaders will be lending all their in uence
to Scott
The Herald asks the question :-' Do you endorse
Mr., ASHES vote in opposition to both Jackson and
E1ilIyer's resolution the subject of the compro-
mise o. We answer distinctly that viewing these
resolutions in the light in which Mr.. Ashe did. we
agree perfectly with his vote. He considered such q
resolution supplementary and improper-an at
tempt by Congress to endorse its acts and thus
dictate to the country Besides, Mr.. Jacksons reso-
luton affirmed belief in the intention of all sections
to carry out all parts of The compromise, and Mr..
Ashe could not the evidences of that intention at
the North in regard to the Fugitive Slave Law, and
consequently could not so vote.
AS for Free Sellers, and all that, the Herald and
Observer no doubt mean that for joke-they don't
really intend that they should be taken Seriously
But we have before gone this precise ground
and not feel like exhaustng the patience of our
readers farther at this time.

Kos.uth and enc peel,ne OF hls Popu.arIty.

Kossuth and the Decline of his Popularity.
I We have not bothered our readers much lately
with Kossuth and bis movements, and therefore hope
to be excused in making few remarks now upon
the apparent change in public opinion respecting
him-especally since we are tired of reading and
hearing day and daily the assignment OF reasons for
this change, which have about as solid foundation
in fact as railroad laid over Eagle Island would
have without piling.
Of course Kossuths first receptions were too noisy
to last. Such senseess excitement must necessarily
produce some reaction. Perhaps, also, as his bright
antcipations of material aid faded away, he may
have become petulant and disappointed and used
expressions that injured him. But all this does not
sufficiently account for the comparative Indifference
with which he is regarded. We have read some of
bis recent speeches. in which there passages
surpassed for depth of thought and purity of express
sion by anything in the language and yet some pa
pers think it necessary to the recognition of their
claims to wisdom and patriotism, that they should
not only denounce his character but ridicue his in
tellect. Demagogues of the same kidney adopt the
same towards him: and the public regard the
whole matter with Indifference.
1t seems to US that the real explanation of the pub
lie apathy may be found in the fact that the Hunga
rian struggle is finally closed, and the republi-
can cause in Europe longer has living existence.
The calm and servile acquesence of the French peo
pie in the usurpation of Louis Napoleon, and the
complete reaction in Germany and Italy and where
ever else repubcanism had made stand, have con-
WINGED the American people that the time has not
arrived and cannot soon arrive when any rising in
Hungary. elsewhere throug hout Europe would be
other than madness, or end but in darker defeat and
more hopeless ruin. When Kossuth came to this
country these circumstances had not so fully devel
oped themselves nor did the conclusions to be drawn
from them appear so irresistible. The ardent and
impulsive might still entertain hopes to which the
presence of Kossuth added strength, while his elo-
quence stirring their spirits like the sound of trum
pet made them obvous of the dangers and obstacles
surrounding the path of European revolution. Such
hopes could not now find place in the widest
dream of the imagination, and without some hope to
cling to-some prospect to cheer-none but fool or
a fanatic would waste his efforts his enthusiasm.
The people of the United States are emineny prac-
teal in their conclusions They see that Kossuth's
efforts have feasible object in view, and his
speeches have, therefore, ceased to be regarded in
any other light than as literary efforts upon alb
straction or himself otherwise than as a popular
lecturer. The changed aspect of European affairs
has taken the wind out of Kossuths sails and with
there, he can hope for none here.
