The World's Convention

The last Emancipator contmns twenty colums of the proceedings of the London Con vention. They ore chiefly circmnlocutory epeeche?, componente to Lord?, Bishops, Sic. The most valuable of the proceedings have not yet appeared. An e.ddress on slavery from the Convention to all who profess to be followers of Christ in America was adopted, and is highly commended. The following resolution on church fellowsliip was adopted. 'Fhat, encouraged by the progress of earnest action on this s'ibject in the churches and religious bodies in America and other countries, tlns Convention repoats the testimony of the Convrntion of 1840 - tliat while it disclaims the ntention or desire of dictatine to Christian communities the terms of their felJowship, respectfuly submils that it is their incumbent dtity lo separate from their communional) tho?e persons %vho, nfter they have lieen faithfully vvarned, in the spirit of the Gospel, continue in the fin of enslnving their creaturen, or holding them in slavery - a pin, by the comtnission of which, with whatever mitigating circumstunces it may be ottended in their own particular instance, they gíve the support of their exnmple to the vvhole pyste.n of ciimpulsory servitude, and the unuttcable homrs of the slave trace." Rev. A. A. Phelps and Joshua Leavitt took a prominent part in the Convention. J. C. Fuller was also present, and made considerable delay in the business by his jealousy lest the Liberty party should be recognized by the Convenüon. When A. A. Phelps had made n statement showing that the Northern Churches regard the cause of the colored man more favorably, as demnstrated by the oction of Churche?, the admission of colored people into many colleges and seminaries, tac. J. C. Fuller denounced the whole American Church ns a cage ofunclean birds. When the intellectual and moral 'con'lition of the colored people was spoken of as improving. a member from New York, Mr. Johnston, contradicted the statements of Mr. Pennington, declaring the people of color were ignorant, degraded, and immoral, their ministers ilhterale and incompetent, fcc. The altercations growing out of such conduct, consumed a part of the time of the Convention. The number of delégales in actual attendance is said not to have exceeded 150. Lewis Tappan was present, having come over at the earnest request of J. Q,. Adams touse measuresby which the British Abolitionists and Government might be enlisted against the annexation of Texas. We intend to publish some of the documenta issued by the Convention aa soon as we can find room .05o Rev. Mr. West's third letter shall appear next wenk. Qjp Application was made to the trustees of the Presbyterian Church in this villoge for the use of their house for a lecture on slovery, on Sabbath evening, by Rcv. Abel Brown. Notice of the lecture was accordingl y given jn the morning by the officiatiog minister of the church,but was formally countermanded by a written notice from the majority of the trua tees, which was read in the afternoon, and the lecture was held in the Baptist Church, which was densely filled, 03" Rev. Henry Stanley, nn Episcopal clergy man of North Carolina, states that the êtock invcsted in plavea will generalij' ncat at least 12J peiceni.05a' The Christian Herald, the Buptist paper of Detroit, has a straightout artícle on the drama, in which the editor takes his brethren of the quill lo task for their continual puffs of theatricals and circus pertormcrs. He declares the company now performing in Detroit to be 'an intolerable nuidance to every lover of virtue and good order, in the neighborhood where they are, and a curse to the city. The orticle concludes thus: If "rospectnblo," they are the firsl company enst or wpst of the Aüeghames, or any where else in America or Europe who are so. t rom the divhte Fanny, (as she has been profanely called,) the concentrated im])ersonation of thcatnc beauty and excellence down to the bloated-fnced actors and meretricious actressei of every inlineraüng circus that niakes its ycarly pernmbulations through the countrv they are, with bnt fewexccpüons, mostirrossly vicious. And it is to bolster uj the expiringr dramn, and its licenlious performers, Ihat y ow pen your dailv puffv. Yo niay eecure present personal gam by it, but rest assured that it vvill beto you, sooner or Ínter, a source of the deepest regret. We uk of you, therefore. afraii), as you vnlue the virtue of indivinuals, the sanctity and happiness of the domestic circle, and the moráis of the city, to desist from your reprehensible course." CC?3 We cut the following from the Christian Freeman, of which W. H. Burleigl), the poet, is Editor: Signal of Liberty, - Thia is an excellent Slavery paper, published at Ann Arbor, Michigan. In the Inst number which haa reached us, .ur pood friend, the Rev. Nathaniel West, of Monroe, is handled without gloves, for the conree he ptirsued upon the slavery question in the New-School General Assembly. Mr. West atttempts to vindícate himself, bui we think unsnccessfully. Of his intense and burninor hatred to slavery we have no doubt, but in his excessiva good nature he Iets such men as Drs. Hill and Ely pull the wool over his eyes,' in consequence of which his visión is none of the clearest, and he commits sonie egreeious blunders in the darkness thnt ersues. We hope that the Signal of Liberty and Mr. West will be a mutual benefit to each other. The lntter may make inistakes, but we believe his heart is anti-slavery to the core.
