work Of dissolving the Union. ] would have the
State Legislature, when the party comes into pow.

that should rcpudiate the Union. This | would
submit to the people. Whom adopted, the new par
ty would elect true men as Congressman, and even
tually elect a President for the no rth; and then
you would have a northern republic. The objection
made to this is that till our State Constitution is
altered, all who vote are bound, virtually, to swear
to support the United States Constitution. But
there are two United States Constitutions, the one
pro slavery the other anti slavery. The latter is
ordained Of God, the former has been made by
man, and derives all its power aud authority from
its harmony with the other. The God ordained Con
stitution is for justice and right, and no tribunal
has the power to annul its obligations. 1t is the
voice of God and nature. 1t is binding on all states
and nations and must be obeyed, for it is the high,

as contradict this, must be disresarded. So a man
may swear to support the Constitution regarding
the bad as 10 part Of it.
Heretofore the slave power has made our laws
Wrestling every thing to its own support. 1t has
%trampled upon the rights of freedom, and robbed
and plundered foreign nations for its extension. -

still it submits, yielding every;hin to slavery. 1t
should have resisted in this state, for the past two
years, the outrages inflicted upon our people, but
it has not done so. 1t might have made glad the
hearts Of the friends OF freedom, and given hope
to the slave but it has failed. Let us form a par
ty,then, that shall do the work which it las not the
will or courage to accomplish.
A. PRYNE, said, thatii a new party was formed
with the avowed purpose Of destroying the Con.
stitution and Union, it must be formed outside Of
the Government. Your ballot. box will, Of course,
be unconstitutional and if you even get a ma.
jority in favor of q new GOvernm ent, outside of
the present legal arrangement, what can you do +?
The present government still goes on, and you
will have, at last, to 'usurp the government. If
you were to institute such a movement you would
probably be indicted for usurpation and are
you ready for that If so, would it not be better
to go at the matter Immediately ? Better do as
Cromwell did, and do it at once.

THE kingdom of God cometh not by observa-
ton" or by preparation, such as political parties
are wont to make. Men may have parties, and
vote and hold Office and all that ; but they are
bad students Of history, if they suppose that this
has anything do with the matter in hand. Slavery
rules all these parties, no matter whether they he
the Democratic the Republican, or any Of the
nameless parties of the land. Our laws are made
at Washington. You may make Salmon p, Chase
Governor CT Ohio and he governs just as much as
his errand boy. So Of Massachusetts they talk
about whether they will haveMr Banks, or Mr.. Gar
dner, for their Governor. What difference does i
make? Neither of them will ever govern in Massa
chusetts, any more than he will govern in the moon
There must be Il spirit aroused, such ms spoke il
the lannon's thur der at Lexington and Bunker
Hill, before anything can be done. / believe
with Gerrit Smith that the time for ballets ha,
past, and The time for bullets has come. Ballots
at best, are but paper currency, of which bullot'
are the specie redemption and we must in this
crisis 90 in for q hard currency. Those who labor
to turn away this question of dissolution now
either do not understand our movement. or wan
to deceive the people. Our views may seem sense
less to many; when has the multitude ever receive
the truth? We have before us resolutions declaring
the union a crime and a curse, and proclaining it on
settled purpose, in the namc Of freedom and 0
God, TO seek its determination and declaring ais
the duty Of the slaves to strike down their tyrant
and our own duty to aid them unless Washing
ton was a murderer and tho American Revolu,io,
a crime against God. (Mr. P. here read the SCI
ond series of resolutions,) l hope these resolu
tons will be the order of the day for this morning
at least;and | hope this convention may have lung
sufficient to speak out. so as to be heard through
out the country. The South has 40 regard for tn
e political action Of the North. She has tried tn
