e0uls OF men'--Ir MUsT NRvER BE REERwED,
} come what may; bat the Federal Government
must henceforlh be over all, aud for all, and
under the national flag every human being In
the land must find freedom and protection, any
thing in any State Constitution or State laWs
TO the contrary notwithstanding
These resolutions are surely emphatic enough
especially iu tho assertion that the constitution
al relation heretofore sxisting between the
States "MUST NEVER BE RENEWED,
como what may"
Mr.. GARRIsoN introduced the Rev, J. K. W.
SLoAsE, a CovonHnter, who said that though
born an AbOIitonis,, be bhd not for ak years
had he honor of standing on that platform -
Speaking of tho progress oI Abolition ideas
| Rev. SLOANE said: N4
Our sentiments bSve been taken up and re-
| psated hy Uniou orators 10 applsuding multi
tudee; and at last The Government OF the uni-
ted States, by the steTn logic o' events hes
| been compelled 10 become quite gres snl'-
slavery society, aud its armies are now tnuh
dstioc at the gates of this bastile Of oppression
| stand here 20 day a9 an ann slavery toan, ex'
ultant triumphant
Rev SLOANE expressed his gTai'ado for the
wAr as follows:
| am thankful to God that the war has come,
| not because delight in blood or am iDsons0ie
to the woes and sufferiGga that the nation en-
dures, bat because, With these tSO great princl'
plea OF Liberty aud Slavery struggling ia the
nation, the war WAS Inevitable
| Speaking of the duty Of every anti-slavery
man to stand BY the Government, Mr.. SLOANE
said
i do not mean that We should resign our pri
vRse Judgment and indoIae every action OF the
Government, or any OF the men In the Govern
ment They are our agents. Fidelity to the
Il Governments does not exclude, but rather indu-
ces candid criticism on the men aud the meas
ures and the means it employs. The Govern
ment, be assured my friends, knows it's friends
from its foes; knows how to make distinction
between Vallandigham and Mr.. Weldell Phil
lips-excuse the cOllooatlOn of the names, Ap.
piause II knows that every bnti'slavery man
is loyal from the crown of his head to the sole
: of his foot, and desires iis triumph
Referring to the wish of some to see HooKEn,
or Burnside, or GRANT, or BANKS displaced, the
clerical orator announced:
But what We do design ia that fremont and
Butler shall be put in command. Prolonged
and enthusiastic applsuse.l We are determined
that those men shall have the place that be-
longs to them; and wish you to mark that there
i Ia nothiog that Anti Slavery men have ever ye,
determined upon that they did not obtain In this
nation.
Rev. SLOANE comes out boldly with tho dec
laration that this ia "aD Abolition war" Mark
his words:
| There are. well.meaning men that can yet be
deluded By the thing to which you refer 10 your
resolutions, viz: that Copperhead declaration
that the Government Ia making this war for
| Abolition. As il IL were NOT necessarily an
Abolition war! As ifit ever could be sue
cessiul one unless 30 far as It was placed upon
that basis!
The speaker set forth the Abolition ideas on
the Union aud Constitution In tho following
terms:
The Union for which | call upon the nation
to pour out It's blood like water and its treasure
like dust; the Union for which labor and pray
is not a vast extent of territory-itis union OF
| free States, in which no slave shGh olank HE
4 chains. and where no man shall be permitted to
own his brother. Great spplause.l Every star
of that ensign that stands Tor tree State IL
honorable aud glorious; every star that stands
for slave State ia dishonor and shame.--
We are not to be imposed upon by words. Let
Liberty take the place of Union! And 30 with
the word "Constitution." SO far as II means
Liberty believe in the word Conslituton--eO
, far ss il means Slavery do no..
The chairman next introduced ROBERT Pua-
VIE, cOlored gentleman from Pennsylvania
whose speech was full Of txutltion and triumph
We give a single specimen:
Or wOik as AboIitionists ID not yet compiet
ed. Much remains TO be dono Bnt We have
! now thousands Of helpers. Anti slavery socie-
ties, anti slavery principles are now numerous
aud powerful The Senate and House; the
State Legislatures, the Union Leagues, are oil

. The veteran AboIi,ionist, THEoDoRE D. WELD
was the aext speaker introduced. At the clos'
OF few brief remarks, no thus described {
, bloody aud deteetsd French revolutiOnist:
