WHOLE NO.71132.7 yUE ANTI-SLAVERY CONVENTION IN NEW BEDFORD. Salue IIoitisT axd Stephen S. Foster. We have just held a my interesting and successful erics of anti-slavery meeting in Liberty HalL On Friday evening, the 24th, Mise Holley delivered an dress i Concert Hall. She spoke again In the after noon session on Sunday.

Stephens. Foster was alao present, and did, aa usual, valiant semce for the cause. His arguments against tne rree ooil party were pow erful and conclusive. Ilia periods eamo down like ledge hammer, and dashed in pieces the flimsy fabric of political anti-slavery." I think his speeches gave crest ssrifaetion'tO the friends of made a strong impression upon the minds of the large an dienee whelicard him. The evening session on Sun day held till 10 1-2 o'clock, But how shall I speak of Miss Ilolley, and do her justice Although an old anti-slavery man, she touched my heart a with the spear of Ithuriel, and roused in me new life and new vigor for the sacred cause.

Every one who heard her eeemcd to be influenced with the spirit and power of her divine mission. Unlike any speaker we have ever before listened to, she wielded an almost supernatural power over; her hear ers lady-like and dignified in her manner, her voice rich, gentle, touching, and yet strong and piercing as the sound of an angel's trumpet, striving to arouse a sleeping world, we trust mat au wno listened to me words of truth, beauty and pety that fell from the lips of this noble-minded woman will treasure them in their hearts as precious gifts; 'She is a most valuable acquisition to the Anti-Slavery Society, and the friends of the cause, wherever she goes, will do well to welcome and make her way as easy as possible. It is no small thing for a woman of refinement and sensibility, like Miss Ilolley, to leave' her home and go forth into the world an advocate of a cause so unpopular as that of anti-slavery, although it has for its object the liberation from worse than Egyptian bondage of more than three millions of human beings but the woes and miseries of the slave have so sounded in her heart, that she has most bravely engaged in the work of her divine mission. I do not hesitate to tay that, in my opinion, no anti-slavery lecturer at the present time is doing more for the cause, of the slave than Sailie Ilolley. 5 I was sorry not to see more of the stanch friends of the cause among the lecturers on this occasion particularly our noble pioneer, and his noble coadjutors, Phillips, Quincy, Pillsbury, The time was never more favorable for anti-slavery effort in New Bedford than now the two old political parties are splitting to pieces here as elsewhere; they talk largely and brag hugely, but their destiny is sealed.

Treachery 1 cannot last for ever, and the day doom is clofe at hand. Let tho abolitionists, thank God and take courage. DANIEL RICK.ETSON. Woodlee, Sept. 27, 1852.

REV. NATHANIEL South Abington, Sept. 4th, Friend Garrisox You are probably aware that the Rev. Nathaniel Colver, late of your city, has taken up his residence in this place, and now pieaches regularly to the Baptist church and society here. In conversation with anti-slavery friends, in and out of town, I am frequently asked the question Well, how does Mr.

Colver succeed since he came among you Is he outspoken and bold before his people, touching anti-slavery and other reforms 'In view of these inquiries, and my former connec-i tion and controversy with the Baptist church here, and Mr. Colvcr's noted anti-slavery and, Free Soil character, I have thought that a communication, touching these matters, may not be uainteresting to your readers. The Baptist church in South Abington was somewhat conspicuous, in former days, for its hostility to the anti-slavery cause and its advocates. At it organization, in 1822, and as late as the year 1836, deeds of pews were given to purchasers, by order of the church and society, wherein the very first principles of Christianity were annulled, and its plainest teach ings set at defiance, in excluding all colored and also all white persons who sympat hized with from purchasing pews in their house -of, wor-ship! And this forever Lest some go 3d Baptist 1 may think I am misrepresenting the church, I will here give a copy of the deeds, one of which I now have in my possession To have and to hold the same to the said his heirs and assigns, forever, upon express conditions, aitd not oiherwUe, that the said his heirs and assigns, sluill not suffer the said pew, or any part Viereof, to be conveyed to, or occupied by, or in any man iter coma into possession of any colored person or persons. OR ANT ONE CLASSED WITH HIM OK TUEM, and that the bouse is to be a Calcinisttc Baptist meeting-house run- EVER I Such was the precise language used can any thing be more unchristian Talk not to me of the sins of Popery, while the Protestant church is guilty of such shameful conduct.

Well did they call the house 'tj a Calrinistic one; for Christianity loathca and abhors such a spirit. I presume no pews are now deeded in "this manner, thanks to the anti-slavery agitation. 'Much pro-slavery feeling, however, yet remains in the church. In 1812, in view of its pro-slavery character and 'position, I was led to withdraw from it a step which I have not since regretted. At that time, I of RO one in the Baptist ranks to whom I felt' free to ''communicate my feelings, more than to lie v.

Mr. Colver of Boston. I very well knew, however, at -that time, that he was not hut he should be, in regard to the anti-slavery movement. His discussion with you on the nou-resistance question, and also his n. treatment of you while in England, and his position in relation to primitive abolition, was all well known to me.

But, nevertheless, he did at that time suffer much for his advocacy of anti slavery doctrines, from his Baptist brethren. He was to theui a troubler in Israel. Hardly a convention could be held by the Baptists, but their peace was more or less disturbed by him. I well recollect the deep Interest I then took of "heading in the Christian Reflector' tUe account of Mr. Colver' sayings and doings, on the an i-slavery ques-.

hon, among his Baptist brethren. Hi discussion 3 th Elder Davis was certainly praiseworthy. I addressed to Mr. Coive at that time, a long letter, giving an account of my proceedings witn the BaptUt church here, and their pro-slavery action. To this letter, Mr.

Colver very kindly replied. Ha decp-T ly sympathized with me, and exhorted me to persevere, saying in due time our cause would triumph. He spoke, also, of the pro-slavery character of the ehureh. As it was in approval of my and condemnatory of the church, permit me to give a extract: I ainuerelv Svmnat hir with vnti an1 mrtlA t.l. any assistance in my power towards dispelling the amaxing darkness which seems to enshroud that chureo.

But work on, in the spirit of the Lord our eause destined to triumph in due time. r. Su was Mr. Colver' letter to me I shall ever 'vspect him for it. Little did he think when he wrote toe the above, that he should ever becomo pastor of this church.

The question now arises, how has Mr. Colver, since he csroe among himself a a Christian Roister and reformer On Fast day he preached to his people one of i the most radical sermons to which they ever listened. I did not hear it, but was informed that it cut them 1 root and I have heard him myself, in Aome of his sermons, preach to, them. the true gospel in a way and manner they never heard before. He ass recently been on a tour in Canada, among the Refugees, kc.

Since his return, he has given quito interesting account of hia" journey. Ho of meeting Samuel J. May; and told his people he sup-1 posed they all knew who he If you do not, aid he, it is time you did '1 He has given two lectures here solely on the temperance question, since he came among but no lecture has he devoted wholly to anti-slavery or Free Soil. Most of hi labors, however, are devoted to preaching the gospel of the Baptist denomination, which is much more sectarian than reformatory. We must have a religion more vital one that holds not in its embrace human being as chattels, as the American Baptist church 1 is now doing.

Upwards of one hundred thousand per one are now held as slaves br that church. Mr. Colver is not what he should be, but I consider him far in advance ot his church and I cannot but hope he will do good here, in bringing them to a more healthy state, a it' respects their duty to humanity and the reforms of the day. Very truly yours, II. IL BUI HAM.

THE LITTLE TRACT. A alavcholder in Alabama, who had almost became a disbeliever in the Christian religion, had a little son return delighted from school, with a price which his teacher had given The father called his happy child to his side to examine his gift. It was a tract. For a moment, he looked at it, and then resolved he would read it. Its perusal led him to reflection, and then to his conversion to the religion of Jesus.

In looking at his slaves, he felt that he had no right to retain them longer in bondage and at once formed the noble resolution of liberating them. True to his principles, he falters not but, with trust in God for his future necessities, he removes with them to Kentucky, (not being able to liberate them in Alabama,) and there, after much instruction and kindest car6 over them, he makes them free. His property, which wholly consisted in his slaves, was estimated at a hundred thousand dollars. At once he sacrificed it all, and became poor for conscience sake. For years he was ridiculed by the name of abolitionist, but it moved him not from his purpose.

He has been mobbed and 'insulted, even in the free States, yet never did he dodge a single missile hurled at him. The decided Christian, the great philanthropist, the uncompromising abolitionist, we now see in him, all the fruits of that little tract What a blessing followed that teacher's gift 1 Who can tell all the happy influences arising from that one Christian act In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand for thou knowest not which may profit, this or that, or that they both be alike ANGELINA J. KNOX. Hyannis, Sept. 1852.

THE FREE DEMOCRACY. Plymouth, Sept. 24, Friend Garrisox I have just finished reading the. resolutions passed at the Free Democratic State Convention and I have noticed, with hopeful that they have omitted to declare that they have no desire, and do not mean to labor for the overthrow of slavery iivthe Southern States. Last year, you will recollect, at every Free Soil Convention, a resolution was adopted to this effect Resolved, that we have no desire to meddle with the domestic institutions of the States south of Mason Dixon's line.

This year, I repeat, no such declaration has been made. I cannot but view this omission as a cause of great rejoicing. Although a non-voter, (and determined to continue such, uutil a radical change takes place,) still, I do believe that a largo number of the members of the Free Democratic party are in earnest, and live in the hope that, at acme future day, they can strike a blow which will lay the monster Slavery low. Others, I am sorry to believe, do not act with the sincerity that one would naturally expect in a holy cause. This only proves the necessity of the abolitionists redoubling their efforts, in order the sooner to win all men to the sacred cause of immediate and unconditional emancipation.

Allow me to express an opinion to the Free Democrats, through the medium of the Liberator. It is this If you (Free Democrats would be up and ag itating with all your might, and keep agitating from now till election every speaker of yours on the stump you could elect your worthy and popular candidate Horace Mann by an overwhelming majority.

One evening lat week, a ramify of Jtfteen fugitives, (including- children ana grand -children,) came into this village by the mail train, and stopped over night.

Their fare bad been paid to Dunkirk by the liberality of some friends along their route from the South. Notice was soon given to thoee who eagerly embrace the opportunity of speeding on the pantmc fniritive, and further means raised to car ry them to Canada. It was deemed prudent to send in advance to Dunkirk, lest the slave-catcher might lie in wait for his moveable 'chattels, and accordingly M. r. Lacns and Daniel Demin? went on in the morning to guard against surprise.

Providentially, all was safe. the family left in the afternoon, reaching Dunkirk at night, and were soon safely housed in one of the nn lake "teamem, Mr. Lucas accompanying them. The noble Captain, on reaching Detroit river, took occasion to food and water at Maiden, on the Canada side, thus enabling the fugitives to avoid the risk of a recapture at Detroit.

Kidnapping. According to'the Cincinnati Gazette. the practice of kidnapping free negroes is becoming quite common in that city. An attempt was made recently by two' fellows from Kentucky to kidnap a free colored boy, the son of Rev. Mr.

A clerk, who saw the outrage, informed a lawyer, who obtained a writ of habeas corpus, which so alarmed the kidnappers that they abandancd their prey. The Gazette hns been informed of more than a dozen attempt at kid napping in that city within three months. In one instance an offer of $250 in gold was made to a policeman, to aid in capturing a stout colored man, against whom the captors acknowledged that they had no papers.

unnecessary, on the present occasion, to enter upon any full or detailed exposition of their principles or objects. These have been avowed and pursued for so many years, and with so much publicity, as to render 6uch a procedure superfluous. We would not. at the same time, lose sight of the great fact, that there may be many among us, whose consciences and hearts have been but recently aroused to a sense of the importance of this great question, who, though feeling much, may be doing little, and who would gladly welcome a medium by which their exertions will be made effective toward the overthrow of American Slavery. To such, we would submit the very briefest outline of our principles and aim.

We regard the idea of property in man as unparal-clled, whether considered in refpect to its atrocity or absurdity consequently, that all legislation based thereon is in the highest degree criminal. Any other doctrine outrages every intellectual perception and every human instinct. Considering the above a self-evident proposition, underlying all religion and all morality, apart from whose recognition the words right, justice, become meaningless, we esteem its opponents, whether slaveholders or the apologists of slaveholding, as implicated in guilt of the most fearful description, both against that God who has made of one blood all nations of and. against, their fellow-men generally, the rights of all being perilled by the enslavement of any. The promulgation of this doctrine is the end and aim of our association.

By its presentation to individual hearts and consciences the country through, we would arouse so deep a spirit of personal repentance and self-sacrifice as shall result in a national contrition and reformation. When this is accomplished, the American slave is free. No obstacles exist now, save those that ambition, and avarice, and cruelty, and kindred vices supply. When the heart of the nation becomes repentant, we may easily trust it to find the best modes of action for the accomplishment of its To this result, and this only, our funds are devoted. We have nothing to do with creeds or parties, with political enginery or theological warfare.

In the name of the common Father of all, and in. behalf of humanity, in its most suffering and outraged form, we appeal for help to all of every class, creed, clime or nation. Great as is the work, few and humble- as are the laborers, we feel exonerated from all charge of presumption or folly as respects its undertaking. We are working in harmony with agencies yast as inscrutable, and it is not for us to draw back from this field of moral conflict, because to human vision the contending parties are so unequally matched. We entreat that this appeal may be considered a personal one to all whose eyes it shall reach.

We conjure you, the dwellers throughout this broad country, to recognize an individual responsibility in this matter. Look beyond the petty emotions and interests of a merely mundane or conventional life, and ask, if the question of your duty to three millions of slaves was not settled for you, by the fact that your birth-place was the United States. This cause has claims on all, but in an especial manner on those who, by the very circumstance of position, must be, if not its opponents, its abettors. We ask your sympathy, your money, your time and influence, and proffer a medium through which all may be successfully employed.

Thr undersigned desires publicly to acknowledge the kindness of Captain Kimball Estabrook, of the steamer City of Boston, in allowing him a free passage in that vessel from Boston to Philadelphia. The City of Boston is a noble sea-boat, and her. commander a noble man, worthy of the entire confidence of the public. He is not ashamed to own himself a friend of the oppressed, and especially of the fugitive slave. He has not been unfamiliar, in years past, with the operations of the underground railroad.

By this translation, the cause of the stricken slave, and of all identified with him by complexion, has lost one of its truest and best Her sympa- thies were constantly affected, and her charities actively exercised, in behalf of the poor, the outcast, and the oppressed, without regard to color or race.

Of a meek and quiet spirit, her beneficence was dispensed unostentatiously, the right hand not knowing what the left did. As the coffin containing her remains was carried out of the house, to be conveyed to Mount Auburn, a colored friend who was in attendance exclaimed aloud, with touching pathos, There goes one of the best friend I have found in the world' and his eye moistened as he paid the grateful tribute. He related to us some of the many eases of distress which the deceased had alleviated through her' charities, entrusted to his care, and by him faithfully applied. No cloud at any time hung over her mind as to the future. In the Divine arrangement, to her death was as beautiful as life.

Her faith in the patera al character of the Universal Father never wavered, and she was ever ready for her summons to another sphere of existence. She' lived to a ripe old age, beloved and honored by all who knew her, and has now "entered into rest the Joy of her Lord. Ed. Lib.
