BUT TIE FACT REMAINED THE SAME.
He confessed that it was a thing hard to bear,
when he lay in Cleveland Jail, and remembered
that he had helped to put the man in Office, by
everything that he could do. He dwet upon /
the backward course of Republican journals J
which had once been strongly anti-slayery, and .
declared that the ant-slayery men wanted no I
party which broke down barrier after barrier .
Of principle and struggled simply for the bar /
ren triumph of an opposition. lie had read in /
a paper cf this CITY, proposition TO nominate |
| Chase and Bates for the Presidency and Vice !
I Presidency on the white mans Plat!orm-op |
| position which ignores the suiGrinES and claims
Of the oppressed. He was glad to believe that
these great men would stand on no such Plat |
form. For the first of thtm he had done much
and be hoped to do morej but if Chase should
take that position, his hand should palsy and
wilher beside him, before he raised it in bis "a
vor. He did not care how soon the nominal
party Of freedom should fail when it adopted
such doctrine.
lie then insisted that the weight ofthe work
to be done lay with the Christian yeomanry Of
the Northwest. When they moved the east
would follow He therefore hoped tnst an an
ti-slavery convention would be held on the Re-
serve this fall, before the politicians had arran
ged their wires.
This declaration of Professor Peck, substan-
tiating the charge made by the Democratic
press, and admitted to be true by Judge Spald
ing but denied by the Aboltionists in South
ern Ohio that Judge Swan was ostracised and
defeated for daring to decide the Fugitive Slave
Law constitutional, will fall with blghtng ef,
feet upon the men who staked their reputation
upona hlsehood.
The Statesman. whose reporter was present,
gives facts relative to the Professors speech
that the journal found it convenient to leave
out. 1t says:
Mr.. Peck, of OberIin spoke upon the first
resolution. He wanted this convention ofchris-
tans to 60 home prepared to enter the political
arena and fight the slavery question. The
= clergy should use every opportunity to meet
the question politically: tley should participate
in the political primary meetings; ministers
should participate actively. They could make
their influence felt IN politics He related an
instance Of the neglect of this point. The del
egates to the State Convention from Cuyahoga
county did not tulhl the wishes Of the people OF
that county in voting as they did, and it was
owing to the neglect of Christians in not parti-
/
done so, a different set OF delecates would have
been sent to Columbus. lie exhorted minis
ters to participate actively in political move
. ment in a crisis ike this. When prominent
men defend the Fugitive Law as Tom Corwin
did, it became Christians to say to such lead
ers, awe have done with you" If such senti-
: ments as Corwins were denounced boldly by
- Christians, and separation threatened, they
! would soon be silenced forever, There was a
: notable example Of the efficacy Of the partici-
patton Of ministers before our own eyes, in the

voted Christians secured mis- defeat. They told
their brethren in convention that after his de-

: We continue our extracts from the report il
"a the Statesman:
Mr. Brown objected to the second resolution
IN
., GAINESVILLE Baptist Church in the expulsion G
N Mr.. Cox. He moved to strike out the las
IN clause.
6 Mr.. L. L. Rice, Of Columbus, said the reaso
D. for expelling Mr. Cox was that he lied about
he used deception and alsehood Liars,
~ he said, ''Shal have their part in the lake whic
I'd burns without end" He accordinly condemn
le ed Mr.. Cox to that unpleasant element withou
at mercy
=, The Rev Mr. Pinney, Of the GAINESVILLE BaI
~ tist Church, said that he had no knowledge
a. their being any accusation Of lying against NJ
Cox. He never heard Of it if there was, an
t. thought there was nothing in it whatever
- Father Rice's feelings at this point were by L
means pleasant, as was manifested by his al
nc peannce
Mr. Giddings said their proceedings woul
e. go to Europe, and he did not want the non IT
h, ligious people there to think their action W.
merely of an ecclesiastical character. lie tho
nc it better to establish general principles witho,
Ee specifying cases. lie moved to amend by str
- king out all after the word character in Il
resolution.
