SUNDAY MoRNlNG-3D DAT.

Wee President Bown in the chair.
Opportunity was given for any one who
felt so disposed, TO open the meeting with
prayer Rev. J. Blake, of Ohio, came for
ward. Ailcr few remarks, suitable TO the
occasion, he looked to the Father of All for
his blessing Ills prayer was appropriate
and affecting.
A hymn was then sung by the congrega-
ton. A!ler which Mr.. =. offered the follow
ing resolution for the consideration of the
meeting:
RESOLVED, That the only true Church in any
country or nation is that which removes, or
seeks to remove, the sins aud crimes of the
nation: aud iuasmuch ms Slavery il, above
all others, the sin aud crime of this country,
aud the anti.slavcry enterprise is the only
movement or agency that seeks its removal
aud overthrow; it is and should be regarded
| ms precminenlly the true Christian movement
aud Church OF this country.
! Mr. p. made it point to show that Sla.
very is the great outrage aud crying evil of
the day. There is no villainy that il isn't
guilty of. Ii is the great sin.
Facts were given to illustrate the truth that
the small pnrt of the American Church which
has taken any decided stand against Slavery,
has been compelled 10 do SO by the nboli-
| tionists themselves.
Twenty years ago anti slavery men called
slavery an evil, aud the Church denounced
them for it, Then the aboitionis,s took an-
other step, and called it sin. BY this time
n small part Of the Church, were prepared id
take the first step, and they admitted il to bc
an evil, hut not SIT aud they denounced
those who treated it as such. When tho
abolition party took the third step, they took
the second Thus have they faithfully fol-
, lowed the abolitionists, keeping always nj n
secure distance behind. The only stand
they have ever taken against Slavery, they
have been compelled to take.
Ii the church has any business at oil in
this world, it is to rid the world of sin, She
must commence with the greatest sins. Bat
what hns she done, and what is she now do
ing She contends to the last that j, is
wrong to rob hen-roosts and horse stables,
but she has not yet learned that il is wrong
to rob cradles and trundle-beds!

Agreeably to previous notice, the friends
Of Freedom and Humanity met at Linesvile
Crawford Co. Pa, on Friday morning, Sept
10th, for the purpose of concerted uction
against the slave power.
The interest manifested thus early, in the
approaching proceedings, was n pleasing
omen; and argued strongly that Free Soil
and Free Speech were suffering under no in.
terdict, in that locality, ut least. From an
enrly hour the village was crowded by per-
sons from the surrounding country, who had
come in the hope Of hearing how brilliant
eloqueuce might become, when pleading the
cause of Justice aud Humanity.
FORENOON SESSION, lst DAY.
The morning having been somewhat rainy,
the meeting assembled in the school house,
aud, at 1lo'clock, was called to order. Day
ten Sieeler, Esq, was chosen President, and
ID. c. ODaniels aud T. J. Connnity, Secrctu-
ries.
The call for the meeting was read by the
chair, after which Mr.. J. f. Selby, of Mercer
CO., was invited TO address the Convention.
lie spoke of tire 7object of the meeting, and
said TINT the spirit of Slavery and Despotism
were the same everywhere, whether in the
Southern part of the United States, or in
the nutocracies of Russia and Austria
That this spirit was not iislidious in the
choice of its victims. II does not inquire for
ancestry, condition, or complexion. The

ell men down beneath its iron exnctions.-

Mr.. Benz. B1wn, of Columbiann Co. O..
snid he had come over Que hundred miles
for the purpose of being present at this con
vention. |: was u bright joyous day, and
happy, radiant faces beamed on every hant
around him; hut the very happiness OF this
assembly made the prospect of Southern
bondage more gloomy and saddeung. IL
view of the blessings around us there wn'
an urgent necessity for our exertons to bring
all men to the enjoyment of the benefits o
society.
On motion, committee of three, viz. Pc

for the Convention.

tons would take care Of themselves. What
he had to say was that had the majority Of
the Church been on the side of Freedom
and humanity, Slavery could not have stood
three months before such opposition. lie
thought no charge too sweeping against n
Church which makes terms Of communion
with Southern Shareholders, and which nc
tually esteems thousands of its own members
as mere chouels. lie had no objections,
however, to having the denominations speci-
fed if any one felt disposed to do so.
N. n. Selby and J. +. Selby spoke in Gi-
vor of the resolutions, after which the Con-
veniion adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock the
following morning.
