A Territorial Antislavery Convention is called to rneet on the Sist of October nt the Round Prairie meeting IJouse. Many able lecturers are expected lo be preeent.

The papers are publishing as a matter of miich interest the fact that there are 30,000 families in Pennsyivania who have no Bible. Why nol publish the fact tliat there are millions of persons in the thirteen Slave States, who are destiiute of the Dible. the greater part of whom are not allowed to read ii? And 8ome of these are compelled to labor without wages to pay for Bibles to send to (oreign heathens! CT The Liberty friends in Ionia, Kent, Ottawa, &tc. have forrnally organized, and wheeled info line with the otlier coun ie?, and nominoted a Liberty ma for the Lejjislature. Are Kiupo nnt -..„-..I „il.oro rn:intips whifrh oiight to go and do likewise? The votes of Liberty raen are too variable to be thrown iway on slaveholders or their ubeltors. {Lƒ" It is the duty of every Liberty mnn to go to the polls, and vote a righteous ticket bimíelf. No amonnt or urgency of business shotild hinder hun froin depo.iting his solernn tesiinriny ngainst the predominance of the Sluve Power. Next, he shmtld .ee that his neighbor also vote the Liberiy ticket. All'can altend upon one of the two days of eirction; and he who Iets a Liberty neighbor stay iiway frcm the polls, when he inight induce him to go, is verüy guilty concrningr his brother! (L7 The Detroit Advertiser says thnt Mr. J. M. Howard did not write the articles in that paper relaling to the Signal or ir? oditor. Conscqiipntly we vvere in orror in altribulinof them lo him. We are hoppy to be corrrcted in this; for we were ünwSiling to believe that Wr. H. would degrade himself by 6iich productions. ítThe New York American has come to the conclusión that "politici! abolition is all evil." The American is not alone in this opinión.
