convened, June2d. More than 300 delectes were present. The Methodist Episcopal friends who were present,met together, ind took preliminary measures for calling a great western convention of anti slavery Methodists. A political convention was salled immediately afier the adjournment )f the meeting of the State Society, which ' jassed resolutzons recomrnending political ■ iction, and approving the nomination of Birney and Morris. The Philantliropist lays that very few dissënted from the naional nomination, and adds; "The great [; nass of abolilionists present at the anniver v iary so far as we can judge were in favor f ifindependent poütical action. The l ilution in sentiment among Ohio aboliionists, since last fall election is indeed a urprising. We necd not say that we are J really encouraged by the character and oing of the mee,'ing3." The ' ist remarks concerning the anniversary: a We had a curioua mixture of people at s uranniversary- judges, generáis, preacii l t$, luwyera, doctors, farmers a;jd mechan h :s- hetrodox and orthodox, c, lies. seceder3, methodists, bapiists - b crats, whiga and political aboütior.ists; c lever was there a greater meály,and yet, n lever have we seen among abolilionists, a nore of the true spint of bi-oiherhood, a d ;reaterunity of purpose. Let no onc te ake the cause. Individual independence di na not sacrificed. Principie was not ñ :ompromised. The catholic did not cease I orevorence "Holy mother cliurch," or a he Friend to repudióte mere forma, or the il Calvinist to eschcw Arminianism. No e et of uniformity wa3 altcmptcd to be r iassed. The secret of ihc wholo matter n yas,- all realized the grandeur of the obect for which they had assembled; all oi vete impressed with the absolute y y of union in order tosucceed; all recótrnzed the fuct that they might unfte a carry cut the great aw of love rtthout any surrender of speculalive peuliarities; allfell that in relation to s!a'ery they stood in the attitude of men not ectanst?, and all trusted each other, si 'ortng no suspicion ihat any nttempt se vould bo made to entrap tliRtn into the si upport of that which conscience ai roved. For achristián to join a Turk G n bis worship, would be to turn traitor to at esusof Nazerelbjbut to unitc with him w i pouring oil into tho wounds of a e ud Samarilan, would bo no denial of nc nnstianity, no recognition of the Koran os -it would be simply to recognize a man oi sa brother, and obey the claims of Lu ion Humanity. ar Wo like these temperance and íe on associations, because they tend to bi ace practico befare profession, to al ify the law of love above the dogmas of tr 'cologian8,tomako men feel their w onpaternityand broihcr!,ood, and miti_ of ite the aspentics engendered by th d.flerenccs. It is only when the at attempts insiduously to bend thera to the es ipport of a sect ora party, er the bi t would use them to make chaos con.e de jam, that distrust, heart-burnings and in ranglmgs ensue. For many years have ce e abolmoniats of Ohio kept faiih with Ie; tch other, so that they may well trust er LCh other in future and continue to N t that harmony which has no long PI iguished them. ö r Tl j-v-, _ _„. _ "
