DEAR FRiEND ROBINSON Tho annual meeting of
the American Anti-Slavery Society as you have
learned WAS a magnificent triumph.
We have now Just closed our New England a.
S. Convention, and I am most happy to be able to
say, that this too, was signally successful
We had representations from all of the New Eng
land States besides some of our New York
friends, which added much to the interest Of the
convention. The convention was however made
up mostly OF Massachusetts men and woman.
thank. God old Massachusetts, is at last begin.
ming to arouse. The numbers in attendance at the
meetings Of the convention were large, the speak
ing of the highest excellence, the doctrines utter.
ed were "strong as truth" and "uncompromising
as Justice"
The Constitution Of these States was denounced
rs a covenant with death and m agreement with
hell" which is doomed to utter destruction. The
dissolution Of the "Uuion" was demanded As the
dictate of duty, and the only way for the deliver
ance OF the slave. These doctrines were received
with hearty applause. Only q few bad boys in
the gallery attempted to got up a hiss, which
proved a failure, and after the second or third
trial was given up. Our friends Rev. john Pier
pont and Rev. Mr.. Wason criticised our doctrines
with much ability, in lengthy speeches but, the
reasoning was shown, plainly enough, to be spe-
cious and false. | think they must have felt it to
be SO themselves. The fact is, the people of New
England are fast coming to the conclusion that SELL
ing ones soul to the Devil for the sake of saving the
union is not paying operation. Even, our friends
who are holding to the Union only do so in the
bo,a n o;o o,a +bai CI,,,ry mo- bo ololichol
without the dissolution of the union. If the price
of the Union be the indefinite continuance Of Sla.
very then a very large portion of tho people of
New England are ready to cast off the unholy thing
to-day. Ali ought to be willing, because ii is an
unholy and guilty thing.
The religious anniversaries were as usual dull
and monotonous. They prayed for the heather,
expounded their creeds and devised their plans OF
deception and fraud for the coming year, denoun.
ced the friends of the slave as infdel5, and aftei
benediction went to their res pecti,e fields of labor
to employ another year Of Gods precious time it
adding what they may to the burdens of poor heavy
ladoned humanity. In these anniversaries there was
perfect harmony and union, between the pro-sla
very and the anti-slavcry christians. Blagdcn ant
Stone, Adams and Beechcr-two Of them-and 81
to the end Of the chapter were in loving harmon!
in the various national societies, in the praye
meetings, &c. &C., Oh! who can fail to see that tn,
religion of this land is of the Devil. The blood o
souls is upon its garments, it is accursed Of God
aud every heart in sympathy with his heart, mus
: say let it be sccurseGforevcr, Amen. These Boston
Christians are all just now engaged in getting u
a revival of this diabolical religion. DR.. Adam
t is much engaged in this good work. Some hav
been deceived and are already caught in their tn
illogical nets, others doubtless will be, but tn
time of these miserable sorceries is nearly over
truths blessed morning is already breaking. W
5 will labor and wait in hope.
The Legislature Of Massachusetts, now recent
@ adjourned, was on the whole, the best ever assem-
bled in the old Bay State. 1t noLly rebuked tn
! wickedness of Loring and but from Gov. Gard
ner, the latest Specimen of Massachusetts pa
t troonery, he would have been laid away and tn
enjoyment of a pure and breathable atlnospher
, secured for the probate court room.
The passage of the personal liberty bill, an
:. over the head of the small Governor too, was
=, triumph for liberty. The head of this Governo
c will after next fall be in no other, way but hi
own.
G The Judges, will beyond all doubt, pronounc
n the personal liberty bill unconstitutional an,
I thus try to hinder its beneficial operation. Blu
= thank God this legislature have made the Juror
!. Judges of the laws, and when the Judge has mad
c bis decision they will make theirs also. The pee
d pie of Massachusetts must make their Judges u
: well as their laws and they will also do it.
The Legislature of New Hampshire will NEE
S to morrow. What is to be done remains to be seer
d J. p. Hale will be elected to the U. S. Senate bC
yond this l predict little will be done in which tn
d friends of reform will.feel any interest. Throug
9 fear of the hunkers, the Legislature will be yer
timid, and exhibit little else than an earnest into,
Y est in a future life.
e We are to have an abolition Convention in Coz
cord, New Hampshire on the 2lst and 22d Of Jun,
e Garrison, Phillips and the Fosters are to be wit
us. In hope of a gloring triumph for the cause
human liberty.
