EVENING SESSION.

U. Hambleton in the chair. Resolution no. 3
was called up for discussion, I. O. Iiambltton
took the floor in favor of the resolution. and muae
a very appropriate address upon tho question. The
resolution was adopted.
A very appropriate address was then delivered
by VIM. Grow, upon the following resolution offer
ed by him as a part Of the report Of the COM
mittee.
(9.) Resolved, That we invite Mr.. Brown tho
chief conductor on the underground Rail Road to
make Forest Home one of his places Of refresh
ments.
Levi Hambleton then addressed the people as.
suming that the resolution was too plain, and that
it was not polite to pass such a resolution. John
Welch then made o speech asserting that tho res
~olution savorod too much of revolution, opposi-
ton to the laws Of our country, defiance to con-
stitutional rights, in that said Brown had clandes-
timely induced or taken slaves from their owners,
contrary to law, and in his estimation no where
short Of theft. George McGloughan who took the
floor, said he would not help invite q negro thief
to this place, but would oppose the resolution. The
ladies generally spoke in favor of the resolution,
The question on the resolution was called for, and
it was adopted.
Resolution 7, was adopted without discussion.
The 9Th Resolution was then taken up, and VIM.
Grow made a short address in favor of it. 1t was
adopted.
In answe to some illusions made by 7. Handle
ton, as to the position of the Democratic party,
P. d. Micheal made a short, friendly, speech, de-
nying that the Democracy was a slavery extension
party, and defyiug any one to show any thing Of
the kind either in their national or state platform.
He charged the Republicans with Inconsistency,
because they hold in favor Of the constitution of
the United States, yet oppose Squatter Sovereign
ty, assuming that Squatter Sovereignty was Con-
stitutioual &c.
1t was moved by VIM. Grow and seconded by
VIM. Roach, That this Society hole regular month
ly meetings on the first Sunday of each month at
this place at 2 O'Clock P. M.
On motion of VIM. Crow, it was
Resolved, That the Secretary be instructed to
prepare and forward copies of the report of this
Anniversary to the Montezuma Republican and
the Anti-Slavery Bugle of Salem, Ohio, with a re-
quest that they publish the same.
After some promiscuous business the Conven-
ton adjourned sine die.
W. X. SHORT, Secretary.
Anti-slavery bugle. [volume] (New-Lisbon, Ohio) 1845-1861, 1859-09-24

A motion was then made to lay the resolution
upon the table until after the transaction Of other
business. The motion carried. After all other
business was transacted, the resolution was again
called up, whereupon Hon. G.. Ii. Kent moved
that it be laid upon the table; which motion oar
ried, thus sitting inquiry, allowing hundreds of
honest voters 10 60 to the polls, and deposit their
votes for a man who they suppose has some anti
slavery feeling, and who they hope will sustain
Judges Sutlif and Brinkerhuf in their decision
upon the Fugitive Slave Law. In vain may they
urge that their inquiry will be unanswered. 1t
silence is tie only reply that Judge Gholson will
give to such letters of inquiry, that silence Is ON
nous of no good it is a significant fact which
all should look upon with distrust. Why did not
this convention, after calling upon its representa-
tive for his opinions, appoint a committe to In
quire of Judge Oh bison his opinion ? They dar.
ed not. Verify these are men who shut their
eyes, and cry that all is darkness-who close
their eyes and refuse to see-who prefer dark
ness rather than light, because their deeds are euis!
Has the anti-slavery sentiment among the politi-
cal abolitionists of the Reserve sunk to so low On
ebb that they fear to make inquiry Is their
guilt so enormous. and apparent to themselves as
to cause them to recoil, then to shut their eyes
and rush, blindly to the preparation of crimef
We must believe it Of them
Yours for free inquiry.

revolutionary struggle and in the war Of 1872
indeed there has been no war in which the Amori-
can people have been engaged, in which the color
ed man did not boar his full share.
l close BY saying that l am not here TO speak as
a partizan-I want every man and woman to work
in the Anti-Slavery cause, day and night, in sea-
son and out of season, against slavery the common
enemy Of us all, saying to the slave oligarchy and
to every influence that protects it, you shall die.
Let this sentiment be borne on the free breezes Of
the North to the ears Of the shareholders of the
South, assuring them that the time is near at
hand when they shall be shorn Of their strength
when the shackles shall fall from the downtrodden
and oppressed, and he be permitted to stand up a
freeman and a man. Let us be true to ourselves,
true to the slave, and to the colored men Of the
north, and slavery shall soon pass away.

REMARKS OF J. M. LANGSTON
OF OBERLIN

Before the meeting of the Western Anti-Slavery
Society, at Alliance, on Sunday, Sept. 4th, 1859.
Mr.. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: 1t be-
comes me in the outset Of my remarks to you to
day, to render my thanks to those who have the
management Of this meeting and who give me per-
mission to stand upon this platform this afternoon.
] wish to say, also, that / thank God for the two
bloods that are coursing through my veins to-day.
] stand before you as the representative of two
classes Of persons who are affected, and seriously
affected BY American Slavery in this country
Slavery strikes its bloody hand at the liberty of
every one. There is not a solitary individual who
can truly say II am in full possession of my lib
erty as an American citizen" Go il you please
to Bunker Hill. take your stand BY that marble
pile erected upon the spot where Warren fell, and
American Slavery comes there and lays it's heavy
and bloody hand upon the affairs of liberty and
strikes them down. There is no person nor class
of persons but should be interested in the over.
throw Of American Slavery.
To shcw the workings Of this system of slavery
upon the American, people, / shall divide
them into four great classes and endeay-
Or to show how this great MOloch, with its
8tiODk 6Em tt-oo oO"h tho VI IL
tramples them in the dust. And first, there Is the
Stakeholder himself. It is affirmed that the Slave
holder, by virtue Of bis citizenship, has tho liber-
ty Of doing and saying just what he pleases upon
any topic, domestic or political. But is this really
sol Let US take a case in louisiana. There is a
law upon their statute books which declares that
mo man shall give utterance in the pulpit, or the
forum or at the bar, to any sentiment that will
tend 70 create instruction among the slaves."-
Now suppose that celebrated jurist and eminent
lawyer Soule. in a public meeting of all classes
in that state should give utterance to such Ian
guags as The following: IL am a firm believer in
she doctrines Of cur fathers-that all men are ere
assd free and equal. and endowed by their creator
with certain inalienabls rights among, which are
life and liberty and the pursuit Of happiness"
To give utssranoe to such obnoxious sentiments in
l,ouisians would he but the beginning Of an insur-
rsction. Where then is Soule! Where the boast
