our correspondent puts the inevitable "ati-thesis 1t
the pursuit Of knowledge under difficulties but il only
shows the absurdity Of attempting 10 conceal what the
convention is doing

have split the convention right in two New York only
goes after the southern Sambo

rating slavery which shall be formed of any portion of

In the general council when the resolutions were re
ported Governor Gardner Of Massachusetts took UP the
gauntlet and declared that neither be nor his State nor
majority OF the free States would abide by the resolutions
first reported The party could carry village in Mas
sachusetts upon them
The union Of the North has little alarmed people and
hence il Is proposed dilute the majority resolutions
a little, and then put them through.
The council viii thus be broken 10 two piecesNorb

again exclusive OF Sanbo.
The spectacle here Is curious The Sewaraies az tbe
North have got into the council three or four utr ahol
ton men, on purpose to make mischief and as ontsaer Of
the council they have in pay three from New YORK
ous especially one mot Me- Lyons proslayery that ne
= repnda'ed everywhere south Of South Carolina and
