sii . 2 een ecm Lac Sat 11 at rome Resolved, That as the "American Re- form Tract and Book Society" covers a large and important field upon which other Societies have refused to enter, we view it as an instrmentality well adapted to the propagation of a pure christianity, to the abolition of all the strong holds of vice and wrong, and to the elevation of all classes of human beings; and that we welcome this institution as a valuable aid to Free Mis- sions, cordially recommending it to the li- beral patronage of all who desire the con- version and salvation of the world. Resolved, That the grateful thanks of the Association are due to God for his care of the missionaries under its direction, in pre- serving their lives, and granting them so much success ; and for the bestowment of so many mercies upon all departments of the Society. Resolved, That we deeply sympathise with the missionaries and teachers of the Association in their arduous labors, and that we will remember them continually at the throne of grace. Resolved, That on the prevalence of sound anti-slavery sentiment in the nation depends, under God, the success of the Christian enterprise in which we are en- gaged. Resolved, That in view of the desire of so many well qualified persons to engage in the service of the Association as mis- sionaries and teachers. and the many new and interesting fields that are opening and calling for aid, we will use increased efforts to sustain and increase our missions if the requisite means be furnished; and that strenuous exertions be used to raise for the seryice of the Association, the pre- sent year, the sum of fifty thousand dol- lars. Resolved, That Anti-Slavery Christians throughout the country, especially minis- ters of the Gospel, be earnestly requested to extend a knowledge of the history and claims of the Association, establish aux- iliary Societies, male and female, increase the circulation of the monthly paper, and in all other suitable ways exert themselves to increase the funds and usefulness of the Association. Resolved, That the Tome Missionary department deserves increased attention, particularly with regard to the great num- ber of foreigners, especially Germans, who are flocking to this country, and that ef forts be made to enlighten and interest them in the principles of our Government and of this Association. Resolved, That the Executive Commit- tee be authorized and encouraged to es- tablish a Mission in California, to labor a- mong the Chinese, Japanese and other im- migrants, who are rapidly swelling the population of that new and important State. Resolved, That the thanks of the Asso- ciation be given to the Committee of Ar- rangements, to the First Religious Society for the use of its Church and Vestry, ' to the Choir for thier services, and to those inhabitants of Bangor, who extended their hospitality to the members of the Associa- tion, Resolved, That the Association duly ap- preciates tlie arduous labors of the Corres- , ponding Secretary, which have been highly acceptable ; that we lament the illness that occasioned his absencefrom the Annual Meeting, and earnestly desire his speedy restoration to health. The above resolutions underwent full discussion by Messrs. Jocelyn, Rankin, Thurston, Walker, Parker, Marshall, Brew- er, Wiswell, Tappan and Brown: and were finally passed with great unanimity. 'The Committse on the 1elations be- tween auxiliaries and the parent society made a report, by Mr. Walkei , Chairman, which was accepted and adopted.

From the Memphis [Tenn.} Eagle & Enquirer. The Kidnappers Humbugged by a Fugitive Slave. Capt. R. E. Oryx, now of this city, late of Mississippi, has been travelling with his family, during the past summer, in the Northwest. While sojourning at Galena, Ill., a colored servant girl was enticed away by the abolitionists and was not heard from until yesterday, when Captain Orne re- ceived a letter from a friend at the North, enclosing the following slip from the "'Bos- ton Liberator," a rank abolition paper : ste We copy the following item from the "Voice of the Fugitive," of the 12th ins- tant, published at 'Windia Canada West by Henry Bibb :-- eg "Broomerism AnD StAvery.--Another female has just arrived in Canada, in male attire. She was brought from the State of Mississippi into the State of Illinois, as the chamber-maid of a slaveholding family. But she concluded on that occasion to leave them to nurse their own children, to black their own boots, and comb their own hair, or pay for having it done. "The'plan suggested to this female to escape, was to dress in her old master's suit, aud start for Canada, while he was in bed asleep. She had not proceeded far before she found a friend in the fown of Galena, Tll., who offered hera place of concealment and effectual aid, by which she escaped, "The whole country around was soon filled with advertisements offering a reward for her apprehension. She learned from a person who had conversed with the slave-hunter, that on the next morning after her departure, the bell rung for pas- sengers to get up and prepare for breakfast ; when her old master went to dress himself, he could find no clothes to put on. He called loudly for his wife's maid servant to get his pants, &c.; but she was not to be found either, which caused no little stirand excitement. He declared he would not leave the place until she was recaptured. His name is Richard Evan Orne, of Mem- phis. Malinda Fountain is her name. She wishes to inform him that he need not wait any longer in Illinois for her company ; that she is now in the enjoyment of British Li- berty, and whenever she gets ready to re- turn to American Slavery, she will let him know. This is the sixth person that has arrived here from slavery within the pre- sent week." ; Capt. Orne informs us that the ' Bloom- er" part of the above story is a fabrication from the whole cloth--that, although he lost his servant, his wardrobe was intact. Mie further states that he made no extraor- dinary exertions to recapture the girl; that now, if he knew he could get her, he would not go after her; and that she is welcome to remain forever, if she chooses, with her British fiends in the enjoyment of " Brit- ish Liberty," in Canada, hich, afer all, is well understood to be by no means pre- ferable to "American Slavery." Mass Convention of the Colored Citi= zens of the State. Evenina SEsston. The following names--James Johnson, W. D. Goff, Thos. E. Root, B. Randolph, B. Smith; Wm. Ralston, W. Cousins, and G. Charles, were enrolled as a delecation from the Order of the "Sons of Enter- prize." The names of Mrs, Maris Austin, Pleas- ant Thomas, Mary Flewellen, Mary A. Randolph, Sarah Jones, were enrolled as a delegation from the Female American Association. _ The above delagations were from Cincin- nati. Mr. J. M. Langston introduced Mrs, So- journer Truth, who for a short time ad- dressed the Convention, which evinced much satisfaction at her remarks. Mr. Jenkins, moved that the Convention tender to Dr. Pennington its thanks for his able and eloquent address, and request a copy for publication. Motion adopted. The Dr. said that, though obliged 'to leave town to-day, yet he would furnish a copy to the Chairman of the Central Com- mittee for publication. Mr. Harris of New York, said he was proud of haying met with the Convention, ITe was rejoiced at the address of Dr. 1. He then rehearsed to some extent the his- tory of the colored men in our wars, and especially at the battle of New Orleans, He spoke of the inducements of freedom held out to them by the rulers and people of the country; of the violation of ex- pressed and implied promises, and that many were driven out of the South for urging fulfilment of those promises. Mr. Flewellen, formerly of Georgia, and who took-a part as a volunteer in some of the Indian wars in 1836, next spoke of the ingratitude manifested towards us after all we had done, by the citizens of the country. When the cry of "to arms, the Indians ave massacreing women and chil- dren," reached him, humanity prompted a hearty co-operation with his white fellow- citizens, to stay the ravages of savage war- fare, and be volunteerd in a rifle company, commanded by Capt. Shorter. During the campaign the company was three times in succession beaten; a colored man named Canada, risked his life by approach- ing within an hundred yards of the Indian camp, and climbing a tree viewed their position. By information so obtained they were enabled to surprise and put to route the Indians. The Captain enjoyed the glory, and offered the colored man a few dollars and as much liquor as he could drink. And that, said he, is about the a- mount of our reward. The Chairman of the Business Com mittee presented a series of resolutions. A motion to receive was adopted. Mr. Day read a communicatien from the Great North American Convention of Tor- onto, and moyed its reference to the Busi- ness Committee. Adopted. 1, Resolved, That liberty is the birth- fght of every individual, which he inherits rom his Creator, and which no person on earth can abridge or amend without violat- ing a fundamental law of our common na- ture, Read and adopted. 2. Resolved, That, whereas. the State of Ohio, in which wo live does not secure us in our inalienable rights, it is our duty, and the duty of all our professed friends, to use now and always all lawful means to gurantee these rights to us. | Read and after considerable discussion, was adopted. - The 8rd resolution was read and referred back to the committee to be amended.* * Adjourned to meet in the evening. Convention met according. to adjourn- ment, ; and was opened by prayer from the Chaplain: ! Minutes read and:approved. The 4th resolution, condemning the posi- tion and action of churches, was laid on the table, 5. £esolved, That in our opinion the only way to mitigate the evils of the Fugi- tive Law is for each and all singly: and col- lectively, to enforce for himself and them- selves, whenever and wherever the alterna- of slavery or liberty is attempted to be foreed upon them, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and in no wise to:deal more mildly with the robber of body than with the highwayman or the assassin; but in all cases touse the mild- est means adequate. Convention then adjourned to join in the celebration of to-morrow. i SECOND DAY x % % tn Thursday 3. o'clock P. M., Convention was called to order by the President and opened by prayer from 'he Chaplain, Mr. Jenkins moved that the 4th reso- lution be now taken up.

This business committee make further report, It was then yoted to send twenty-three delegates to the next National Convention. Carried. The Conyention then proceeded to elect delegates to the National Conyen- tion. The Committee reported a series of re- solutions which had bern adopted ata late meeting of the colored citizens of Cin- cinnati, with a view that they be presented to this Conyention for its action. Mr. Gaines then moved that the Con- yention endorse said series of resolutions, which read as follows: 1. Resolved, That. goyenments are in- stituted among men to secure life, liberty, and the universal pursuit of happiness, and that when a government permits the meanest of its subjects to be wronged, it fails to secure the objects for which it was established. 2. Resolved, That we regret that any position of the inhabitants of our beloved State, should be computed to protest, a- gainst the unjust laws which still darken our statute books--withholding from the worn veterans, the maimed and idiotic a- mong us, the mean shelter of a poor house to die in--denying us the right of trial by jury of our peers--a right so necessary to protect our rights, and secure for us justice --forbidding us the exercise of that func- tion so dear to freemen--TZhe lective Franchise. 8. Resolved, That im our opinion, next to the ballot-box, tho right of petition is the most efficient agent, and that we pledge ourselyes to our brethren to use this sole political agent remaiuing to us, faithfully, energetically, and continually, for the ac- quisition of our rights. 4, Resolved, That we request our State Central Committee to procure suitable headings for petitions to be circulated a- mong the people of the State this winter, praying for the repeal of the Black Jaws now remaining on our Statute books, 5. Resolved, That we demand our Free Soil friends, that while they are laboring for the overthrow of Slavery, they do not forget that a large portion of the inhabi- tants of this State are deprived of their just rights as citizens. 6. Resolved, Thet to secure for our- selves, and transmit to posterity the bless- ing of Liberty, knowledge is essential, and we pledge ourselves to encourage learning aud the diffusion ofintelligence among our people 4%. Resolved, That we regard the Wiil in- troduced into Congress by Mr Stanley, of N. C., apportioning the interest of the sur- plus revenue among the several States for the removal of colored persons to Liberia, as another blow aimed at our rights, and we solemnly enter our protest against it as an assumption of power totally unwarrant- ed by the Constitution; the Colonization Society having no more right to such aid, than 'any other association of private in- dividuals. 8, Resolved, That we rejoice with Dray- the Dungeons of the Disuict, and we con- gratulate President Fillmore upon this one act of mercy, that relieves the otherwise midnight blackness of his aduiinistration, Mr. Gaines' motion was adopted, bat not without much opposition to so much of the 9th and 10th resolutions as hints at the separation of the States. Lhe Convention appointed Messrs. D, Jenkins H. I', Douglass, Goode, L. D. Taylor, and C. H. Langston as Central comnuittee, On motion of Mr. Holland, the follow- ing resolution was adopted. Resolved, That we tender the Sheriff ane county authorities our thanks for the use of their house for the meeting of our Convention. Resolved, That' we hereby' tender our thanks to the Cleveland, Columbus' and Cincinnati; and the Pittsburgh Railroad Companies, for their courtesies to the Convention : Convention then adopted a resolution that the next Convention be a delegated Convention. After which the Convention adjowned.--Zue Democrat. Bruisine Arpims--The Working) Far- mer says, in speaking of the great success of R. L, Pell, and the high prices he gets in foreign markets:--Mr. Pell has oceasion- ally made a thum-dent in an apple, and: after tying a jabel to the stem, placed the apple so dented in the centre of a barrel of sound apples, requesting his agentin Eng- land to report the result. 'The report, has always been, that more than half of such apples have been found decayed." How absurd, then, to club or shake apples from atree, or even to tumble them by basket- fuls, when hand-picked, into barrels! Antr-sLavery Cuorcuns 1n SLavEnotp- ina Srares.--Our Executive Committee re- cently appointed a new missionary in one of the slavenolding States. He reports the existence of cleyen churches, in four neigh- boring counties, having an agoregate mem- bership of three hundred and fifty members, to whose communion no slaveholder is ad- mitted. 'They are poor, and at present al- most destituta of the ministration of God's word ; and so long as public opinion re- mains what it now is, must continue so, un- less God raises up a faithful ministry on the ground. No minister from the non-slayeholding States would be permitted to labor there, unless he would consent to regardslivehold- ing as no barrier to church communion, in which ease the church would not tolerate. himWe hope that prayer may be made in their behalt-- Amer Missiona: y.
