he says:

The Radical Abolitionists--- Their Ma.
tional Convention.

The National Convention of Radical
Abolitionists met at Syracuse, on the
2sth ult., at which about 300 delegates
were present.
The principal feature of this Conven.
ton was the address, written by Gerrit
Smith, and adopted with great unanimity,
in which the principles of the party are
sci forth. tits affirmed that the Consti-
tuition of the United States is an anti
slavery do cument-that slavery can find
no support nor protection by any fair
construction ollhe Instruments sla-
very is an outlaw--a system of piracy
and murder, which no human enactment
can possibly legalize and that it is the
duty of the Federal Government, without
delay, to abolish slavery throughout the
country as asyslem at once opposed to
all the principles of justice, and the
OOllSlllutlOil W lilO CUuUlTJs
1t declares its uncompromising hostiI.
ity to oppression in any part ofthe nation
and asserts the doctrine of the Declaration
of independence, that" all men are crea-
ted equal and endowed by their Creator
with certain inalien able rights, among
which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness"
Speeches were made in support of the
address by Frederick Douglas, Genit
Smith. Ueriah Greene, Adam Pryne and
others.
The Convention proceeded to nominate
candidates for The Presidency and Vice
Presidency, and result was the unan-
imons nomination of Hon. Gerrit Smith,
of New York, and Samuel Mcfarland,
of Pennsylvania, for these offices.
The question Of physical resistance 10
the slave powe was largely discussed dur
ing the Convention. Rev. A. Pryne, of
Ohio, was in favor of armed resistance.
He thought it the duty Ct Massachusetts
10 send to Washington at once the column
Of her militia, if Congress refuses 10 take
proper action in regard to the outrage
upon Mr.. Sumner, and the duty of the
North to let Massachusetts understand
that that column would be fanked on the
right and left by brave m en-, ready to
fight for liberty. He believed that no
force but bullets could ever convince the
South, and he was in favor of this kind of
argument.
Lewis 'rappan and others differed on
this question, and no definite action was
taken.
