Cbaplin, and smnc otherswho wcrchopcd to attend, nnd above all the noble 13irnly. Bat there were onough to snlisfy ïll rensonable de&ires. The people carne to delibérate more than to listen to euthusiastic nppeals. The speeches were of Jhnt characler, not se ihctorical as af-" gumentative, bofitting tho occasion and he wcighty qüestïóhs before us. General Fessenden presided to every )odv'ssatisfaction. No man couid have reservcd beiter order, or held a more complete control of the elements, amid ill sorts of oxxiteir.enfs. ilis opening speech on taking tho chair, was very ïappy, and bis conclusión in reply to tho cnlhusiastic vote of thanks, pre-eminenty gratifying. He said he deemed it o ligher honor to have presided oversuch ti convention to its satisfaction, than to mve been elected president of the United States - by either of the pro-slavery parios. No man duubtcd that he feit whal ie said.The interest of t!ic meeting incrras cd to tlie end, and the meeting on Frilay evening was admilted to be the best jf nll - speeches by Pierponf, Bradburn, nd Lewis Tapnan. who sürpassed himelf. Gerrit Smilh and Dr. Lemoyne vore disabled by feeble hcahli from i tng so active n part as was expected, in ! ie debates of the convention - which vas deeply regretted. Mr. Sniith was o far rccovcred that he gave, on Sabbath vening, a most solemn and impressive iscourse on Dible politics, in the Trenont Temple. We have not hcafd of nu ndividual who was not greatly edlfïed nd plcased. Tlie singing '-Birds" did vellf and we lad two capital songs from Charles VV beatón, of Sy recuse. We cannot paricularize all the speeches. Hereafter nay possibly givea sketch of somc of hem. Delia Webster was there, and her .ase wasexplained, by theRev. Mr. Day, n a manner which told mach to the disdvantage of the i'ehivaly" of Kentueky, and tbc whiggery of Vcrmont. Walk. r.R was there, a part of the time; nnd fie rcsolutions of sympathy tbr Torrey nd t'ne other sufFerers, were cordial and enrnest. The audiences were large and respectable; at every meeling - at first made up entirely of persons from abroad, but gradual I y the Boston people cnme in as he strangers withdrew, so that the number in fact ncreased tnthe very last. The "Unconstitiilionalirv of Slavery" vas the chief subject of discussion, though he "organic sins" question was fai.-ly examined and set in a striking light. The roceedings of the American Board, and he novel and alarming doctrines there brought forward, are producing a powcrful sensation; wliil'e Spencer's book on the constitulion is opening the eyes of many to see how long they have been humbugged by the slaveholderstobelieve that theiaw of theiand, Bflf a free country, sustains slaverjv Asour friends deparr, affer tliis too brief season ofcommunion, we pray tliem to carry home the spirit of tlie convention: and to#o to icork in their several localities, to open the eyes and enlighten the minds of their neigh!x?rs on these great subjecls, and pursuade them at last toREJECT SLAVFRY IN ALLITS RELATIONS. Do this, anc! the country is saved, and tlic church ot God reslored to honor!" We sliall publisii tüe series of Resolu tions ne.t week.
