C. Gallüp, of Genesee Co., and Nathan Powkr, ofOükland Co. The business committee then ropnrted Ihe foilowing resolutions which were di8CUS6ed and unnnitnously adopted: - lst. Resolved, lKdt the depriva'.ion of inalienable rights, whether u rider Ropublican or otlier forrns of government constitutes the cfsence of despo'.iem. 2. That the two greot political parties in these States, ilie one or rather a portion of it supporting Slavery as it ia without any extensión of it, nnd the other not only 6upporting tt aa it is, btu going for its extensión, are warring for the corjquest of despotism over free!om. S. Thnt ae renresontation and taxation are inseparable in a political community of freemen, and that as the avowed object of that oflboot ofthe whigp,called the Native American party, is os to Emigrants who adopt this as thei.' country, to depnve tliem of thoir righ'. to representa' ion forLL years, tho principie disclosod in the object thus avowed, is the same odious one wbich supports and gives vigor to Slavery, and lo all the deepotic goveriiinenis of the world. 4. That genuine Liberty mm enter into no compronii.se with such partie; as from the very nature of things oil cannoi mix with water, so n true Liberty pnrty and a pro 6lavery one cannot coalesce. Convereion, not conipromise is our motto. 5. That we rejoico at the harmonious and effectuol action of the great Western Liberty Convention at Cincinnali, of the 4th June lost, approving of the dignificd and very able adJrePF, issued by that body to the people of the United Sta'.es, and that we look forward wiii pleasure to a eirnilar one ubout to be held in Botton, and hm-ing full confidence in ihe ability and interigity of ihe friends of tlie Slave in the eastern and middle states, we confidently anticípate like happy reeults.6. Thnt il i matter of fraternal congratularon and of devota thubkggiving to him who ca:ü'ut tn Ne sides with the oppieesor, that the rripiitls of ihe down troddehin filié ond other roimtriesare miving with dispassiouate fervor and onwaid Mep townrd he graiid con sutiirnatiuii of universal libcrty. Let those tv;o have hit iierto account ed for the antislnvery niovcfiieut in these States by ascribing it to the workingu of fannticism, wliicli, like igtiited combustible matter, hursts into a íhmp nd soon expiras, btit open thine eye.-, Bud thev vviil find its friends increasininglv alive lo the great subject. Conventionp, National, State and District, areconstantly being hld through the country and that at a time whrn aecording to proelavery prediction, the Liberly party have civen up the ghost. 7. That we view with much satisfoction the present pfïbrt to establish a Yoting Men's Associntion for the State of Michigan, and recommpnd to the consideración of the young men of this District the ircportuuce of givingto )l their nid and co-operation. 8. That Slavery is ever at wnr with indeensible rights, thal ft3 ruthless and ceaslegs hostility to free discn.seion, without the privilege of which Libert}' is n misnomer, and a legitímate syftem of guarunteed rights a hiimbug, has been demonstrated in expelling Birney from Kentiicky, murdering Lovejoy, ot Alton, and forcibiy removing the printing establishment of C. M. Clay, from Lc.iinglon. That the Slave Power in those States must e (lostroyed in order to mninlain the freedom nftlie prc8s there, in that its destruction can e attained only by the annihilation of Slavery. and tht such annihiintion cannot be feas b!y achieved but by polilical actton. 9. That we cordially approve of the nomination of J. G. Birney and N. M. Thomas, or Governor and Lieutenant Governor, and iledj?e them our uniicd and hearty support at the ensuing election. 10. That in J. G. Birnf.t we recognize the Devofed Patriot, the Intelligent Statesman, Lhe unwavering Philanthropist, the consistent ChristiRn and the Honest Man. 11. That we will hold ai bay every report or repons, touching the reputation of either of our candidatos ivnt.il their truth bo attested bv incontrovertible evidence. KviiNlira sessiojï. Opened with prayer by Eider Delano, after which a very eloquent and able address was dclivered by Rev. C. II. Baldwin, of Flmt, to an attentive audience. It is really cheering to the heart of a true Liberty man (or woman) to meet with those of kindred spirit, lo devise ways end means for carrying on our glorious canee of delivenng the poor out of the hand of him that Bpoileih, and of delivering our belovcd country from the grasp of those Tyrants that hove so long trampled pon every right tlear to a freenian. Our Convention was a good one, and we hope it has done great gbod'; but in consequence of disappointment with regard to speakers from abroad that-werc expected but did not come, il was not as numerously attended as it olherwise would have been.
