In one of our rooms this evening, the dance
went on most spi'iledly Here, as every.
where in Germany, the dance is an entirely
different affair from what it is with us al

contrasts most pleasantly with The solemn
and measured celemonals in che parlots in
America. For The first time gained The

The following resolutions were adopted
Resolved, That Slavery Is a creature Of unjust

strengthen he bonds OF wickedness- lay heavy
burdens on the oppressed, and dcbase these vic
tins Of their tyranny TO The lowest possible
depths Of civil, moral and intellectual degrade.

2nd. That as long as the laws which support
this aooiniiiob,e system afe sustained by public
opinion. so long we can have no hope of their
repeal. Nor can we indulge this hope until such
a change Is produced in the public mind as will
lead TO efficient political action. No such aceon
can be had through or by the old Wing and
Democratic parties, for they are not only sworn
allies, but Serpie subjects of the slave power, de-
pendent upon Its favor for their very EXISTENCE
tied neck aud heels by the Baltimore Platforms,
and %solemnly pledged, not only to sustain and
enforce and make the Fugitive Slave Law a
fnatity, but to put down all agitation in opposi
ton to slavery. Hence, therefore, there is a
necessity that oil who wish to rid our country OF
this curse, should unite in the party of FREE
DOM. and speak through the ballot. box for the
rights OF man, and for the repeal of all laws
which support slavery.
Sd. That we believe a vote given for slave
holders, or their partisans, allies and measures.
is a vofe for slavery with all its denominations, in
as much as the voter thus yields to them all the
power which he possesses in the only way in
which he can exercise it, and also invests them
with the power to do all they pleuse to strength.
en-, extend and perpetuate the system. Hence,
if slavery is wrong, such a vote is morally and
politically wrong, and invoices the voter in the
responsibility for the consequences growing out
of the wrong. This seems so self evident that

to vote for and with the Wing and Democratic

parties. who know what slavery is. and what has
been done by those parties for its support, and
especially their present position and pledges IN
its favor, they show by such vote, either that at
hear. they are pro-s'avery, and for this reason
vote for it, or that they are sadly deficient in
such logical powers as should teach them their
duties and responsibilities OF, worse, that know
ing their duty as citizens and christians they
crlminally refuse to do It.
4th. That We recognise The inju0ctioas-"ke-
member those in bonds as bound with them
" Deliver him that Is spoiled out OF the bond Of
the oppressor Thou shalt moi deliver unto his
master the servant which is escaped from his
master to thee, eds ye would that men should
do unto you, de ye also 10 iheIn,"-and various
other similar preeepts, as THE Iaw above oil hui
man tdus, which applies directly 10 every man
and points out his daty ia reference to American
slavery. And heRce we believe that every voter
is as religlously bound to vote against slavery
and its supporters, as he is to worship God.
5th. We believe that it ia a libel upon human
nature, human rights, the Christian religion, aud
upon God Almighty, to say that American slave
~ can be justified or sanctioned by any priaci
pie of reason, righteousness. justice, humanity,
or ~religioa, found 10 the Bible or else where :

slavery, the sum of all villainieO," can be lusti-
fed by the Bible, there is no wrong or wicked
ness that may not be justified by the same au-
thority,

the State Convention holden at Montpelier in
May last and ais the Pittsburgh National Plat
form.
9Th. That the distribution of the public land
to actual settlers, is a reform mneh required.
both for the improvement of the new states and
the credit of the Nation.
9th. That we recommend to orr friends that a
thorough, efficient and systematic organization
be instituted and kept up in every town and

The European News.

The news by the "America," at Halifax,
is not important. We give a summary Of
OF the more important items -
TURKEY AND RUsslA.-Nothing definite.
The policy of Russia is surmised 10 be to
exhaust the resources of Turkey, by caus-
ing an immense outlay Tor defense. II has
been several times reported during the week
that the Russians had entered Moldavia, and
were proceeding to Bucharest, Oh the Dam
nbe.
The Harris Steele reports that two Turk
ish ENJOYS had interrogated the Hospodars
of the Dannbian Provinces as to what
course they would adopt il Russia invaded
those provinces. Ghika, Hospodar of Mol
davia, promised to fall back on the Turkish
territory with his government and troops,
and would probably do so. The Hospodar
of Wallachia promised likewise, but from
intrigue might be unable TO arm his people.
The Porte has declined offers of service
from Polish, Hungarian, and Italian refu-
gees, and will have only English or French
officers.
From Diiddah accounts say that the late
events at Cons,anlinople have produced a
profound sensation throughout Arabia
The numbers of Pilgrims assembled at Mec-
ca. and all the native tribes, wait bu, the
signal to the war. Religious
fanaticism has reached the boiling point.
1t is now understood that in lis late note
the Berlin Cabinet takes a neutral attitude,
and cautiously %refrains from approving the
conduct of the Gar, although family rela.
tons between the reigning familiesof Rus
STA and Prussia embarrass the action of the
former.
A remarkable statement is current that
the Emperor intends to submi, to the ques-
ton of peace or war with Russia to a vote
of the people. On the other Eand it was
rumored, but not authenticated, that the
French government had a copy of a Rus
