EVENING SESSION.

EVENING SESSION.
The Business Committee reported the fol-
lowing resolutions:
Resolved, That the Aboliionists of this
country are as'much interested in the welfare,
prosperity and safety of the slave holders, rs
they ure in the liberation and elevation of the
slaves that in the abolition of the entire
slave system, no actual property will he inn
pnired or destroyed, but every kind of prop
eriy will be enhanced and improved in vnlue /;
that freedom is industrious, economical, EN-
ierprising, and fertile in useful expedents
and beniicent discoveries, while slavery is
indolent, wustefiil, turning into barrenness
the most fruitful soil, aud paralyzing all the
inventive aud progressive faculties and that
emancipation can be as triumphantly defend
ed on The ground of political economy and
material prosperity, as IL eau on moral aud
religious principle.
Resolved, That by turning slave labor into
free labor, and inspiring it with the hope of
remuneration, instead of coercing it under
the lash, the entire South may be made the
abode of peace and plenty, and tho very
Eden of our land
Resolved, That the deadliest enemies of
the South are found among those Of the
North, who nre arrayed against the Anti-Sla-
very enterprise, who represent the abolition
of Slavery TO he u measure iraught with in
calculable evil, and who thus strengthen :he
soveho,der IN his purpose to riyet forever
tie chans OF his miserable victims.
The resolutions were sustained by Messrs.
Garrison and Remond.
NJ rar,ieoo sa;I Go1 haJ oonsultol tho
pecuniary interest Of his children as much as
any other. And the best thing for every man,
so far as his pocket is concerned, is to obey his
law to the very letter. Degradation dcstitu-
ton and famine, everywhere results from DISC
bedicnce. God is an infinite political ccono-
mist. He ha, wrapped up all consequences in
principles. Give me principles and l am rot
concerned for consequences. He is the best
economist who adheres to principle. Why be
afraid of the trade If you offend the South p
What is it compared with the North in enter
prise, wealth and prospects, This nation is the
North. The South is dependent. Talk Of the
South Withdrawing; it is as Mrs. Maria Chill
said, "as if tho town paupcrs should declare
thoy would withdraw from the town, if they
did not have more roast beef and plumb pud-
ding"
The county of Essex in Massachusetts,, pro-
duces more than the State of South Carolina
But we are told of the millions of property in
slaves, and asked If We suppose men will give
up all this. Emancipation will not touch an
atom of property. The value of the slave is in
what he can produce. A man will work better
for "mastcr CASH than for "master Lash" 1t
is human nature, and is the same under black
skin as a white one. No kind planter ever re-
pented remunerating his slaves. IL slavery
were abolished tomorrow, no man need change
his position, the slaves are wanted-all they
want is pay, and then no bowie knives or
chains or dogs will be necessary, and everybody
will be safe. The STAKEHOLDER is a man and
brother, and we would do him good. Statistics
on the subject are overwhelmingly against sla-
very in pecuniary point Of view. No doubt
we shall suffer some from abolition temporarily.
Suppose we do, so did our revolutionary faith
ers. John Hancock offered all the ships he
owned on the altar of Liberty. Are not we
of revolutionary stock Let US be willing to
suffer if it must be SO, but remember that the
longer VIC put the matter off the more we shall
suffer. "No,e is the accepted time and no,O is
the day OF salvation"
Mr.. Remond followed His speech was elo.
quent, marked With wit, pathos, and strong in
dignation against the oppressor. 1t was re-
ceived with most hearty appreciation.
SECOND DAY.

Mr.. Yancy. The resolutions Of last evening

ems, NJ. r. Robinson, and J. Langston.
