A brief report of tho Exec-Jtive Committoe of last year wa3 presented by a pnrt of tho Commilteo (the othersnot having been advised with) and adopted as follows : " The Executive Committee of the Michigan Slate Antislavery Society, beg leave to report, that during the last year, unusual circumstances have markedour course - some that cause deep regret, and some, cause of graiulation. Some discordant views huve existed, and while many have adhered to our formerand firat principies, many oihers have wished to hasten the cause by some new schemc. - Such a state of things has produced tenporary relaxation and npathy, but on the whole we havo cause of thankfulness that Liberty men are Liberty men still, and that many new converts have been made. Furlher, we feel that the present dilemma, in which the course of the Democratie and Whig parties has brought them - the one to commence and urge on a detestable war with Mexico, and the oiher, to sxipport it right or wrong, has brought our opponents to the blush, and given us high vantage grnund, showing conclusively, the better ounsels of the Liberty party. Finally, we think and feel that our present position is auspicious, and invite and urge our friends to join and unitedly press to final victory, and success, our piinciples of Liberty." A resolution offered by H. A. Trench, proposing in substance that the Liberty party ought to take full grounds on eVery subject of national interest, was debated by Messrs. Trench, F. Denison, Copeland, Bartlett, Drury, Hussey, and Holmes, ond was unanimously rejected. [The resolution cannot be given verbalim, as it was not left on the Secreiary's table.] The folloiving resolution was then adopted : Resolved, That whilo we view the establishment of " The National Era," as as one of the most chcering features in the signs uf the times, - we feel ihat our liberty friends are, at this time, pecuiiarly called upon to rally around tho liberty press of our own Slate. Adjourned. EVEXINO SESSION. Prayer by Eider Twiss. Resolution No. 6 was taken up and discussed by Messrs. Siewart, Foster, Harris, Gallup, F. Denison, and others and adopted.

Resolved, That our grateful (hank areoue 1o Almighty God, that during fhr past year he hasogain sustained his great principies of gospel and civil righta, and ftgainst poerfol opposition has advancod tbem ín power and influence. 2. Resolved, That a rcvlexr of tfo paal antislavery y car furnishes mttr botij o( congratularon and regret. Whil we rejoice that the cause ha gained in strenglh and importance, we regret th the want of the united aid of all its fricnOs did not permit it to reach the eleratïon it would oiherwise have attained. 3. Resolved, That the signs of au appronching crisis beiwoen Liberty and Siavery fast thicken in evory section of the nation. Liberty has increased iu vote : it has won important convertí : it lias sundered the hcretofore sfrongest political organizatton : in the highest quarters it has declared its opposition to exter.ding slavery : at the nation's Mat of government it has placed its press: it fast gathers public sentiment of all parties to coalesce against Slavery : and it. coerces the Jou mals of Slavery to hcaver und throe, and express thejr, talarm at tha symptoms around. 4. Rosolvod, Tl)at every consideration invites tho faith, hope, and pervranee of Slavery's opponents, and assures them that thereis wanting to victory onlyan eftbrt determined, combinod, aelfsacrificing, and sustained. 5. Resolved, That the revolution already acMoved in public sentiment raspecting Slavery by a minority weak in all snve principie, has accomplished by far the most difiïcult part of emancipation's task : nnd that compared to it, e 11 yet remaining to be done is comparatively smal!. 0. Resolved, That the Liberty party had its origin in the fact that ths existing pari:e3 wero proslavery : and as theio partics have since made no reform on this subject, but on the contrary still continuo iheirfellowshipwith Slavery, the original necessity for Liberty orgnnization continue.1; undiminished, and every person now voting for candidatos of other political parties, votes to support Rlavery. 7. Resolved, That the position and sentiments of a party are known only by its acts, and its doclarationa in Conyontion : and that to take the professions, or even the sentimontsof membersof a par tv, as the means to define the party's po. sition, is most dlusive, and has been openly repudiated as such by leading vvhig and democratie presses. 8. Rosolved, fhat to vote for any nomiinee of a party is to voto realJy for th party and its principies, the candidate bcjng presentad not because of his individu ality, but that he represonts party ; and we regret that many devoted friends of the slave, in their zeal for individuáis, presented on proslavery tickets, havo rotod in fact for principies and partres most repugnant lo those of Liberty. 9. Resolved, That the 6trongest obstacles now existing to the consummation of the Liberty efFort are the following :- - lukewarmness or indifference in prafeasei Liberty men : absence from the polls: voting proslavery nominations : a minority withholding cordial support from a majority : the expression of doubt on prin ciples long aettlod : and the want of faith and work. 10. Resolved, That with all, who ever stood by, or now bold dcar the causa of the slave, and our country, we plead tnderly to rally around those who work for both, as they best can : and in their content with a common enemy, to sustain their fellow& in principie and brothers in love. 11. Resolved, That iudividual exertion is the most efficiënt means of forwording tho antislavery enterprise : and to procuro such exertion this Convention carnestly recommends tho institution of School District Committees, whose duty it shall be to hold meetings within their several localities, at least once in each month to discuss the subject. ' 12. Resolved, That this Convention recommends the formation of Town and County Anti-Slavery Societies, auxiliary to the State Society, which shall report to tho annual meoting of the latter all malters of interest within their respectivo district?, and that such Auxiliary Societies be forthwith formed all through the State. 13. Resolved, That this Convention is deeply sensible of the efficiency of aid aestowed by the Ladies of Michigan ott the antislavery cause during the past year, nnd would express fheir thanks therefor did not the Ladies possess a higher tribute - tho testimony of an approving consciencc, and the blessing of God. We trust their cfiörts will be continued, and sxtended. 14. Resolved, That we ulteríy deprécate the war with Mexico, as unjust, un shristian, uncalled for, and an act more in iccordance with the days of savage igno

raneo, than those of an (so callee!) en lightoned and christian republie of tln Ninetoenth Century. 15. Resolved, That every opponeti to this proslavery war should unite his in fluence with the only party of the day which has dared to withhold aid from it and spurned i he menial office of doinj Ihe Slaveholder's bidding. Wliereas the support given to our or gan, theSignol of Liberty, isinsufficient and althougli it Kas been tnanaged vlt extremo economy and ability, yet that i is now embarrassed by serious debt and it: fexistence peñled. And as a State orgar is indispensable, even a temporary stop page of the Signal would be highly dis astrous, if not fatal, and would lose to ou causo the benefit of the regular issue oí the paper during many years ; And whereas great injury is done by neglecl to pay subscriplions regulorly, causing n collection loss of 25 to 33 per cent to the editors and a needless waste of so much antislavery money ; and it is considered by frienda competent to judge, that the subscription of a dollar and a half is not sufficient to make a journal of the aize, issue, and patronage of the Signal to sustain itaelf, even with the pinching economy :hey have witnessed with the Editors - - 16. Resolved therefore,That we recommend the subscription price to be raised to $2 a year, and that our friends pay this sum, as a just equivalent in ilself for value recoived, and as a necessary expenditure for our cause, that they interest themelves for the paper, and to procure it subscribe rs. 17. Resolved, That wc commend the Signal to the cordial support of all friends, and that in thoir zeal for Eastern papers, they will not allow our domestic Journal to go down, 18. Resolved, That the than!c3 of the Convention are given to our kind friends and entertainers at Kalamazoo, for their grateful hospitalilies during our sojourn at their villnge.
