Pfesideat Jsmes Hutchinson, jr, Of Braiutree, ead
Fnoch Richard. Of Randolph, Vice Presidents the
Rev. Jeh,el Clslin and Samuel May, jr., Of Mas
fsehusstss, Secretaries. An able and remarkably
plain spoken series Of resolutions ntrodu ,ed and
5ief preliminary discussion took place, in which
Parker Pilsbury Of New-Hsmpshre, Mr.. Garrison Of
Boatop, the Rev. j. Clsfn ard Ber amin ". Dyer,
eco, Of Randolph, took part. Il being obvious by
the increasing numbers that the hall would not be suf
fcent for the accommodation Of the Convention, the
Rev. MessIs Johnston and Clsain were appointed
Committee 10 ssk the of Of the churches in
town.
A vote was passed inviting the participation Of all
in the dscusous. In the afternoon, besides the
spec isers already named, the Convention ad-
dressed by the Rev. samuel May, Jr. He declared
bis conviction, from twenty years knowledge OF the
An,i.Slavery cause that it is not only the csuse OF
abs Ou.e Justice ard right but is wholly Identical with
the religion Of Jesus Christ in Its spirit aud aim; that
the slavery MOI emen rs the vital Christianity OF
our country and time ard that its enemies and tradu
Gers are the real of Christ and his truth.
w. Z. Garrison indicated tue Anti Slavery cause
from various sspersons cast upon IT, and claimed that
s lnrlr sic truth gave II te that none could de.
stIoy, and power that would eventually overthrow
all its enemies. Darrell Webster, hs said, was
the admired and almost worshipped of the lovers Of
Liberty in evil hour he bowed for the sake OF the
PresideI cy to the Shareholders, and his doom
thsreefc rth sealeJ-he died defeated and broken
| Hearted. Father Mathew, avowed Anti-S avery
man ct home, ard Lou, kossuth, the leader Of the
Hur gsrisn Liberties, came TO this country AMI dat
tered the shareholders and the Pro.Slavery men Of
the North sno courted their favor, but to purpose.
Their hollow professions were understood, and they
| returned home mortified and empty The former has
passed away and who knows VIVA, has become OF the
other These thpgs waning TO al not to besray
or set at psught the cause Of Ant-Slavery; Whose
| falls this stone shall be broken, but on whomso
{" ever it sbs fall, It will grind him to powder.

In the evening the Rev. n. K. Johnston, Of
TIE Returned Presbyterian Church, spoke elo-
queIty in support Of the resolutions, and said
