The resolutions were adopted by acclamaton, fol-
lowed by three hearty cheers.
The time for holding the convention was fixed by
vote o. the meeting s. Some question arose as to
made by 8. M. STONE, ESQ.,, that the fourth Thurs
day in August should be the time, but the motion
was not agreed to, and the date named In the reso-
luton accepted. The place Of meeting was referred
to the officers Of the convention for their consderar
ton and decision, and will be announced hereafter.
Hon. AMAsA WALLER moved the appointment Of
committee to nominate a Provisional State Gen.
trial Committee, which motion was carried, and the
committee appointed by nomination at large.
Rev. EDWARD BEECHER was loudly called for, and
came forward amid loud applause. He said his OBJ
ject in coming to the meeting TO bear his te ,ti
mony by his presence to his belief that the nation
bad arrived at more trying crisis than any which
we III uld probably live 70 see. He came without
any preparation to address the audience They
would parton him, therefore, for combining himself
70 the expression Of his convictions rather than the
discussion Of political questions. There had been
great deterior alton both In Church and State
throughout the country. This had been owing to
the overpowering influence Of the central govern
ment in behalf Of slavery. The question now WAS,
whether we would consent to any further aggres.
sions. II vas question Of national life. II was Q
question which would test the moral principle ofths
North more than any other issue which had
ever been presented. This question was far
hey, and should be determined without re.
ference TO any such considerations. The North

Judge Douglass was an instance Of q Northern man
who had married plantation, and no one could tell
how many hearthstones Of the North were under.
laid by the roots Of the slave system. Then there
were the temptations Of commerce These. the
speaker said, were very strong, but they we're not
iLvincible. he mentioned an Instance OF a leading
merchant in Boston, who since the recent pro,
ceedings in Boston, had declared that he would
no longer euccumb TO the slave power even

Then the Presidency, in his opinions, was the
highest engine Of corruption in the world. From
the conviction that man who had ever spoken

mouths in the dust before the omnipotence Of the
slave power. Unless something could be done &,
