THE HARrroRD CONVENTIONS -
The article referred to by our n contrib
t,tor in the Delta Is too lengthy to trans
fer entire to our columns. The Delta
says The meeting was composed Of Ath.
ests, Abolitionists, table tippers, strong
minded women--musteringjin all about
one hundred and twenty rank and file,
Of the most insane portion Of rascal
dom. Andrew jackson Davis was
the hero, and Mrs. Abby Kelly the
heroine. A fellow by the name Of
Wright played first fugleman, and the
Bible was the object of their united
assaults. Davis" so says the Delta,
said; that the sacred book SHOULD be
exposed and cut out from amongst
u.s." This may be so4-we find how
ever nothing in bis writing, that is di-
rected against The Bible. On the con
trury he is All advocate, but places a
trancendental latitudinarian constfuc-
ton upon passages, hot justified by
this matter-of-factsaga. Whether he
is right or wrong we do not Pretend to
say We cannot think the man ac-
tuated by auy impure motive. He
may be .insane--a monomaniac---all
men are, who are in possession of o
new truth that runs counter to recev-
ed opinion. We defy any man to read

whether they IRE written in nor

Of samnolency Take the books and
read them, and come to any other con
clusion If You can.
Speaking of the Convention, the
Delta says "That u gentleman who
formed one of the audience arose and
announced the Pougbkeepie Seer, as
a blasphemer and traitor We should
like to know how this gentleman
is implicated. that he should want to

INDIA RUBBER HORSE SHoEs.-Among the
many articles which are now manufactured from
India Rubber, perhaps there is none of moro
useful as well as novel character than horse
shoes. Experiments made previous to the pres

fully as durable as iron. Their lightness will
especially adap: them to the race course, and
having all the toughness, without the brittle
ness of iron, they will be of equal service, while
devoid of the danger of breaking when the
horse is under motion.
