MICHIGAN CONvENTION.--lDe feceh D'"'0 S"a'-
yeution at Adrian, was an occasion Of no ordinary
Importance. The weather was unfavorable' ana
the attendance of citizens Of Adrian, during the
first two sessions was comparatively small. Sub
sequcntly the hall was well filed; during the last
session IL was crowded almost TO sunocation. There
was good delegation Of earnest men and women
from various parts of the state. There was great
variety Of opinion but the utmost freedom Of ex-
preston, although fraternity of feeling, and gem
eral and earnest desire for cooperation was mani
tested by all. The principles and measures Of the
American Anti-Slavery society were clearly pres
ented and most critically neutrality-suspicious.
we're freely propounded and objections perth
naciously and earnestly urged, though generally
in good faith and spirit The result was the re-
moyal of prejudice and the conviction on the part
Of friends cf the slave that though they differ in
regard to some measures, yet they can and should
cooperate to spread the light convert the -nations
and save the slave Hence though at first doubtful
Of the propriety of forming State Society after
discussion they came forward heartily and unani-
mously and formed their organization. we have
no doubt il will prove most efficient and useiui
one We invite all friends Of the slave in the state
to come forward and sustain the Committee by their
sympathy and their contributions. They may rest
assured, that whatever means may be put into Tho
hands of the Committee, will be employed econom-
ically and wisely for the Advancement of the cause
Friends of freedom in Michigan, give this Com
mittee your vigorous support. They are worthy
They are earnest, pcrseyering and true. eNo"N
and your State can be rapidly revolutionized
i The earnestnoss of the friends in the Convention
was manifested most cncouragingy by the prompt
ness with which they responded to the application
for funds to carry forward the work. They needed
= no urgency or entreaty. They saw the channel
through which their contributions could be made
; available for freedom and justice and they camo
forward wi ,cW and cast them in for this purpose
This promptness in contribution greatly encouraged
us In this day of Mammon, II is the best test wo
know of anti-savery heartness and fidelity.
Mr.. Garrison did large proportion of the public
p snookinr. and his words were with power. They
! made friends to the cause. We should be gladh

a of the very interesting and able speeches Of the
OCCASION But this we cannot do One of the sec
! rctnres has furnished us Lrief sketch Of one OF
Mr. Garrisons addresses, and we have oursef notes

with the like care and fidelity his life will bc ono Of
no ordinary usefulness The Hall was mort tasse-
