MORE N. YORK CONVENTIONS. THE IR-
REPRESIBLE CONFLICT STILL WAGING.
To THE EDITOR OF THE BuGLE: We are still
prosecuting the War. Still il seems a conflict of
cords only. A battle Of breath-of mere wind.
But in the vision Of the Dry Bones, seen by the
Hebrew Prophet, the same harmless, powerless
agency, is represented as waking a dead milton to
mighty life. Who knows what We may dc? The
immortal hero Of Harper's Ferry himself, seems
to havo ~dcspised our fundamentally. But what
was he, more or less, than Que legitimate result Of
it? To me. the plan of God seems to he, to send
his Messengers and Ministers with tho words of
warning, and if men will repent and put away the
crime and curse, no worse evil will come. But if
not. the Slaves will become moro and more cxas.

Almighty Wrath, and must execute their dread

back the blazing bile of her %sickning stomach, and
cease her vomiting forever more, Volcanic blszes
sleep in the bosoms of myriads of slaves, to be
walked in due time! Since my last writing, we
have held large and deeply interesting Conven-
tons in Utica, Syracuse and Poughkepsie; and one
in Hudson, not less interesting though not so large

son Resolutions. As NC are honored with con,inu-
al notice in the New York Papers, and have even
secured respectful attention in Congress, perhaps
your readers also will be interested to know what
are the texts to cur Sermons. So here you have a
few Of them:
Resolved. That in that mighty and "i.repressi-
BILE conflict now waging with the powers of Dark
ness and Despotism in this nation, bravely led on
by Garrison and Greedy, Philips, Parker, Seward
and Sumner, and sustained by a countless host of
determined men and women too. East, North, West
and Northwest, we behold q full and glorious
assurance that the Millenial trump of Freedom.
and especially of deliverance to the enslaved mil
lions on ur Southern plantations, is drawing nigh
and may be even at the doors.
Resolved, That we have heard with profound
satisfaction Of the infe1ible resolution among the
chieftains Of the Republican party to adhere to all
It has ever demanded on former platforms 10 oppo-
sition to Slavery and its extensions: That it must
be with them. Sherman as Speaker in Congress or
no one; and Seward. or the like of him, for Presi-
dent at the mex, election, regardless OF the threats
or b~ullyings Of Southern Shareholders and their
more mean and despicable allies at the North, and
irrespective Of ell consequences to Constitution or
Union.
Resolved. However. that while we rejoice in
every indication Of advance in public sentiment. rs
opposed to Slavery, we cannot forget that, no mat
ter who is President under the present Government
and Union, he must s,irf be tho Slace holder and
Stare. hunter General of The Nation; he must shoot
down every black Washington who should strike
for bis freedom with the sword, AMI return every
sable Kossuth who might take refuge from South
ern tyrants on Plymouth Rock or Bunker Hill;
must recognize the right of SlaveboIiing robbers
and pirates to sit as equal members and makers Of
The Government. and conduct his administration
sc as to make it the grand engine every way to
crush the liberties of our now ens,aved millions
and their posterity.
Resolved, That when Mr.. Jefferson declared.
Nothing is more certainly written in the book of
fate than that the slaves are to be free; nor is il
less certain that the two forms Of society cannot be
perpetuated under the same government.
And Henry Clay. tina.

And Mr.. Benton, that

And the Louisville. KY, Courier, that
