We have received the proceedings of lio Kalarrmzoo Conveniion nnd shall ub]isli them next week. W. C. Denso.n was nominaled to fi 11 the vacancy in lic Second Coiigressional District. Mr. 3enison is well known ns a schnlar, a renllenion, a finñ speaker, and consistent and straight toward Liberty man. A beter selection could not have been made. :Ie is every way competent Rr the situaion and he deserves, and we trust will eceive, a very large support. Being engaged in business as a merclmnt, he jnites practica! knowlcdgO to the idvanages derived from on edvication for the ministry. Wilh suc:h n candid:ite, the [,ilcrty voteofthe District should largely advance. Or Rev. Alexander Campbell, the leader of ihe sect of Campbellites or Disciples, recently visited Scoiland, for the purposeof lecturing on Ëvangelical Reform. On lus arrival in Edinburgh, he was waiied upon by a conimir.ee ol the Antislavery Society to inquiie wliether his views of Slavery remained as they were two years sinc, wlien he publislied n the Harbinger an article asserting tliat tlie relation of inasler and sluve was not necessarily immoral or unchrisüan. ]le nnswered in tlie affirmütive, and a caveal was issued by the Society agninst tlie Rev. gentleman, and the Secrelary of tlie Society challen ged him to a public discussion, which he declined. At Glasgow large bilis were posted, warning the cit'zens ïgainst him as "friend of the slaveliolder and rnanstealer." Tliey served him right. Such persons should be so served in every free commuinly. Weáring the robes of religión, they are tlie most dangorous enemies of Human Freedotn.
