COMMUN I CATIONS. WRENTHAM ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY. Wsekthaw, August 2d, 1838. Mr. Jobjtsow The following resolutions were adopt- ed at a meetingof theWrentham Anti-Slavery Society, held in the centre meeting house on the first inst.

Will you please to give them an earlj insertion in the Liberator. Yours truly, HARLOW. Resolved, That the progress of emancipation in the West Indies, and the liberty which is this day proclaim. ed to 462.000 of our fellow-being, furnishes occasion of gratitude and thanksgiving to God. On motion, Rev.

Mr. Fisk offered prayer. Resolved, That the abolition of slavery in the Brit ish West Indies, demonstrates the practicability and safety of immediate emancipation in this country. Resolved. That for the ranid advancement of the priuciples of liberty, and the cheering prospect we now have of the speedy termination of slavery in this coun try, we are indebted, under God, to those who hare adopted and acted upon the principles of immediate emancipation.

Resolved, That we view with regret the influence of slavery in trampling on the right of petition, suppress-ing the liberty of speech, obstructing the general diflu- sion of intelligence, and menacing the citizens ot the northern Slates with being hung should they dare to go to the south and we feel bound, as we value the freedom of ourselves and posterity, to resist these en croachments on our rights, by renewing our petitions to Congiess to abolish slavery in the slnvcholding ter ritories. and interdict the slave-trade between the That John Quincy Adams is worthy the respect and gratitude of his fellow-citizens, for his arduous and persevering exertions in the cause of humanity. Resolved, That slavery, being a violation of the principles contained in the declaration of our national independence, and in opposition to the precepts and spirit of the gospel, cannot under any circumstances be justifiable, and ought to be immediately abolished. Resolved, That slavery is a violation of the laws of "Gal, and a hindrance to the success of the gospel, especially among the heathen, inasmuch as rational beings are thereby held and treated as property and deprived of the means of mental and moral improvement, the sacred relation of husband and wife, parent and child, invaded and broken up and whereas, in some instances, ministers, church-officers and church-mem-bers, have become concerned in and identified with this inhuman, Corrupt and dangerous system, we believe that the cause of troth, justice, humanity and religion would be greatly promoted, if non-slaveholding churches would have no fellowship with slaveholding ministers and members of churches, and come out from among them and it separate. Resolved, That the preceding resolutions be presented by our delegates before the Norfolk County A.

S. S. to be convened at Medway, on the 15th for their consideration, with the request that the above or a similar resolution may be by them adopted. Resolved, That the resolutions adopted at this meeting be at the disposal of the press. A VOICE FROM GROTON.

At a meeting of the male and female Anti-Slavery1 Societies of Groton, held this evening, July 30th, it was unanimously resolved -1. That by the blessing of Almighty God upon the cause of anti-slavery, its progress has exceeded the expectation of its warmest friends, and that the Moloch, Slavery, is already reeling under the weight of deserved odium cast upon it by the friends of humanity in this country, and throughout the civilized world. while we rejoice in the signs of the times, it becomes the friends of the slave to gird themselves anew for the contest, anil to persevere through evil report, and through good report, in the use of all appro-priate means to rid our beloved country of its foulest stain its greatest curse. 3. That we congratulate our anti-slavery friends in Great Britain in their successful efforts in the cause of humanity in that kingdom, and that to the untiring zeal, and distinguished abilityof that devoted champion of human rights, Geobgs' Thomtsox, is much of their success to be attributed.

4. That the appropriate field for the labors of Geoige Thoxpsoj is believed now to be the United Slates of America, and that we should hail his arrival in this country as an event calculated to give a mighty impulse to the car of freedom and that it wvuld be peculiarly gratifying to see him once more in this place the place where he first plead the cause of the slave in this western world. 7 5. That the Executive Committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society, be requested in behalf of the abolitionists of the U. States, forthwith to invite to our shores, and to our warmest affections, Geobge THonr-sox, and his able coadjutor, Chakles Stuart.

Voted, That the above resolutions be published in the Liberator. LUTHER BOUTELL, See. FIRST OF AUGUST IN BOSTON. The colored people of this city held a meeting on the first of August, at the Baptist church, Belknap-street, in commemoration of the final emancipation of their brethren in the West Indies. The house was full to overflowing, and a lively interest was manifested by the audience- All felt that the claims of humanity had been regarded, and that the first of August would bring freedom to upwards of 500,000 moral and accountable beings, who would receive the boon with grateful hearts anl exulting voices.

Johx T. HrtToir presided. The meeting was addressed by a number of gentlemen, and appropriate music was performed by the Massachusetts Union Harmonic Society. This choir were politely in-vited to sing at the Marlboro' Chapel at four o'clock in the afternoon. The music was excellent.

An ode, written by anx unknown friend, was performed witb great effect. At six o'clock, 49 gentlemen repaired to the Tempe. ranee House, kept by Mr. Jel W. Lewis, No.

4, Souih-ack -street, West Boston. Mr. William Burley was ap. poLated President of the Temperance Festival, and Mr. John B.

Cutler, Vice President. Tbe hospitality with which Mr. Lewis received us seemed to add a new zest to the delicacies of his table. Meats, nicely dressedyve-gstable, pastry, and fruits were abundant; hilarity and joy appeared in the hearts of all present. Cold water anJ lemonade were the only drinks made use of.

At three o'clock, a large number of colored gentle, men wended their way on board one of the steamers fur Chelsea, to partake of a dinner, which lam io formed' was served npj Tafi'a best style. The day passed off agreeably, without disturbance of any kind. We recommend strangers visiting the city to the house ot Joel W. Lewis. He is a host whose easy manners cannot (ail to strike every one agreeably, and his house is in a very pleasant situation.

T. C. AS MUCH OPPOSED TO SLAVERY AS YOU Ma. Eorros Permit me to inquire, through tbe medium of your paper, bow far the members of an orthodox church aud society, 'as much opposed to slavery as you can consistently oppose the loaning of their boue of worship lor an anti-slavery address on the fourth of July, from such considerations as the following: 1. That the minister is epposedto the measures of tie abyliiionists.

2. That ihe iitrodnctioo uf anti-slavery into the puL pit would create disunion and break up the church and jciety although it profese to be founded upon tbe Kxlc of Ages, and it mmbers pretend to be as much OjpoJ slavery as you 3. That tbe object of the aboIhioniMs in applying for tbe meeting-house was, to break up the society to re-pleuish another; although the fact in the ease was, that neither neinber of the core mil tee it application was from either church referred to, tnd it wan not known to any member of the society, ged to re-plenuhed, that the application as to be made, until after it had been, presented, I would propose another query -Has ctiy man or body of men, a moral right to breaks legal contract, fronted they axe rifling ip pay 1 COSTOA. FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1838. OLIVER JOHNSON, EDITOR PRO THE NEW YORK OBSERVER we published, a short time since, a caustic para graph from the Pennsylvania Freeman, in which alia sion was made, in terms of just indignation, to a charge brought against the Liberator, in 1833, by the Vermont Chronicle, of having denounced Washington as a rob.

ber and a man-stealer. The present editor of the N.Y, Observer, bo was tne conductor ot the Chronicle at the time referred to, and the author of the article in which the charge was brought, has published a state. ment of the affair, which appears to demand some no tice at our hands. He first accuses friend Whittier and ourselves of in jujtice towards the present editor of ibe Chronicle in neglecting to slate that the article in question was not penned by him but by his brother. Whether this com.

plaint on the pan of the Observer originated more in genuine compassion lor his brother of the Chronicle, at seeing attributed to him an act of such superlative meanness, than from his own excessive desire to take all the glory of it to himself, we shall not pretend to decide although his habitual self-conceit and insensi bility to shame, as well as his attempted defence of the act, would naturally lead us to attribute it to the latter. However this may be, we think friend Whittier ought so to have stated the case as to place the responsibility where it belonged. Nevertheless, on this point, we w.U let him speak for himself, premising only, by way of confession, that reflections similar to those which led him to commit the original offence, induced us to publish his paragraph without an explanatory note Friend Whittier, in reply to the charge of injustice. above alluded to, says The present editor of the Vermont Chronicle is brother of Joseph Tracy, editor of the New York Ob server, of which the Chronicle is the mere echo. He has always been in Joseph's leading strings a tail to his brother's kite following him as closely as the shad ow follows the substance.

Whether edited by the real ly talented, acute and hair-splitting Joseph, or his roost dutiful brother, the Vermont Chronicle has always been the same, carping and Jesuitical a moral grimalkin, mousing amidst great principles and noble efforts of be nevolence after petty laults searching wita us narrow vision amidst the philanthropic movements of the age after flaws and detects exulting over an error in log ic, or a hasty and unguarded expression, without one heart-throb of enthusiasm one manifestation of gener ous sympathy, with the outgoings of philanthropy- quibbling, and word-catching, and reminding one of Dr. Wolcott's magpie 4 A bird for curiosity well known, Who, with head awry, and curious eye, Peeps knowingly into a marrow We spoke of the Vermont Chronicle as the originator of the ander against the abolitionists and it is of lit tle consequence which Tracy it was who actually pen ned the article of which we complain. The statement of friend Whittier respecting the Chronicle was in the following words: Jror ourselves, we cannot help remembering that a paper called the Vermont Chronicle, first started the ab surd and ridiculous charge that the editor of the had denounced George Washington as a robber and man-stealer. To this the editor of the Observer, who was the au thor of the charge referred to, replies as follows The article in question did not specify the editor of the as here intimated. It spoke of the doc trines of Anti-Slavery writers, and as an illustration, quoted from a correspondent of the It did not assert or insinuate, that the correspondent of tbe or any body else, had singled out George Washington, and denounced him by name as 'robber and This, the present editor of the Liberator very well knows, and we are surprised that Mr.

Whittier does not know it. The story, that the Chronicle had brought such a charge, is merely one of William uoodell's fabrications. The Chronicle did assert, that according to the doc trine of the correspondent of the Liberator, and. other Anti-Slavery writers, every slaveholder is 'a robber and and of course George Washington was one. This assertion, that such was their doctrine, is true.

No Anti-Slavery writer has ever dared to deny it. Oliver Johnson, who then, as now, edited the Liberator in Mr. Garrison's absence, did not deny it. William Goodell, who endeavored to convict tbe Chronicle of slander, by charging upon it language which it had not used, did not deny it, but on the contrary, endeavored to entrap the Chronicle into an admission of its correctness. John G.

Whittier will not deny it, for he knows it is true. Now all this looks very plausible, but it is nothing more nor less than a specimen of that duplicity and jes-uiticafcunning for which its author is so notorious. We give him credit for more skill in the arts of deception than Miss Opie ever dreamed of; but in this instance he has entangled himself in a web, from which he will find it difficult to escape. The article in question did not specify the editor of the Liberator It only quoted from a correspondent as an illustration." From this the editor would doubtless have it (though he dared not utter the falsehood in terms,) that he did specify a "correp. pondent which he very well knows that he was care ful not to do.

He specified the Liberator without say ing whether he quoted from the editor or a correspon dent, but in such a connexion as he well knew would lead every one to attribute the language to the former This was oae of those tricks which no one knows so wel how to practice successfully as himself, and to which a man of any other quality would scorn to resort Again i the Observer says, that it the Chronicle did not assert or insinuate, that the correspondent ot the Liberator, or any body else, had singled out George Washington, and denounced him by It on. ly asserted, that according to the doctrine of the corres pondent of the Liberator and. other anti-slavery writers. erery slaveholder is a robber and man-stealer, and of course George Washington was Now we affirm that this is untrue. The Chronicle did not say, as the Observer would fain make the public believe, that the delineation which it gave of Washington's character was drawn by way of inference from the doctrine' of ami slavery writers.

It was very careful to keep that fact concealed, hile the article was so skilfully arranged as to produce the impression on the mind of nearly all its readers, that the delineation, in the precise shape in irhirh it teas presented, was copied from the Liberator. We cannot make the matter plain in any other way than by copying the article in question just as it appear ed in the Chronicle. This' will afford everyone the means ol deciding whether its author has told the truth respecting it, fairly and honestly, or whether he has been guilty of prevarication and deception. The fol lowing is the article. From the Vermont Chronicle of June, 1833.

CHARACTER OF GEORGE WASHINGTON. Commander in Chief of llie America Army during the Revolutionary War, and the first President of the Vni. tea scares. Scarce any in modern days, has stood hieher in me estimation ot the whole civilized world, than General Washington. As a patriot, a sincere, enlightened, and undevinting friend of 1'reedum and of the rights of man a a man of the rictet integrity, as a sincere and a devoted Christian, he has been held up to tne gaze ot an admiring world, and seldom, tl ever, has a voice been raied to question bis claim to this high honor.

But it seems that all this is a delusion the very reverse of truth. The honor ol this discovery is due to the ad vocates or the New England Ami-Slaveiy Society, whose delineation of his true character we proceed to copy. 1. In Meugton he was a hypocrite. Call the slaveholder by whatrospel name you please.

his profession of religion is insulting hypocrisy. Libei' atur. 2. As to his honesty, he teas a thief. His religion and Christianity are insufficient to actu ate his obedience io the eighth commandment, thou shalt not 3.

He nras a lexdnnper. For he is a roan thief, a sinner of the first rank, and guilty of the highest Wind of theft, who is condemned to death by the law of Moses lb. i. He teas habitually guilty of perjury. Every man-stealer, who takes the uath of office in ihe United States, commits wilful and corrupt perjury and during the whole period of his continuance in of.

fkv, he is living with the guilt of habitual false swear log attached to him. lb. 5. He is now in hell. And unless he repents, with all other workers of ini quity, will have his part in the iae which borneth with fire and No man-stealer can euter the kingdom of heaven.

lb. At least such was the doom for wnicn his general a a a to est to character prepared bim, and tkM is ao ri2aoa that he escaped if, even by a death bed repentance for lived and died a slaveholder. This description of the tree character of Washington uioand in forty-six lines in the fourth and fifth column we eeond page of the Liberator of May 18th, By "wwiie, aim yet not laborious, searcn, we might prove, by testimony eqnalty conclusive, that be a robber (Prof. E. Wright,) that be was a ty.

It is' Character ol. Washington' not of slaveholders in genera). It is not presented as an application of ahti-elarery doctrines to a particular case, but the DELINEATION ITSELF is declared, in so many words, to be that of 'the advo cates of the New England Anti-Slavery Society Mark, too, the declaration which immediately follows the delineation This description of the true charac ter not of slaveholders in general, but of Washington, is lound in forty -ix lines in the From this, every person unacquainted with the facts would natu." rally suppose that Washington had been singled out by the specific charges all applied directly to him. With this understanding, the article was copied greed ily into the vilest political papers, and as friend Whittier truly says, it has, up to the present hour, been one of the most powerful incentives to mob violence against abolitionists. We heard it bandied from mouth to mouth among the drunken wretches who fired 'Pennsylvania as an apology for their conduct! and we are free to confess that we consider them innocent in comparison witn the originator ot the sianaer.

Friend Whittier has stated in their proper light, the cir cumstances in which the article was put forth. He Some time in the Fifth 1833, about one year after the organization of the New England Ami-Slave-ry Society, and when the principles and views of abolitionists were little understood, a correspondent of the Liberator spoke in terms of strong indignation of the advertisement of one Lewis A. Collier, a boman-nesh. dealer, of Richmond, Va. The writer had been evidently greatly excited by the unblushing atrocity of this detestable seller of bis fellow-beings and his remarks were consequently severe and denunciatory.

Not one word was said of George Washington, or any individual, except the infamous Lewis A. Collier. Upon this article the editor of the Vermont Chronicle seized with avidity not to oppose the horrors and atrocities of the domestic slave-trade, not to speak out in tones of manly indignation against a system so cm-el to man, so abhorrent to the benevolence of God. He thought not of the agony of the parted family the wife torn from her husband and her children, at the slave prison of Richmond the slave ship floating along with her cargo of despair he did not follow the victims of wrong and cupidity to the slave-markets of New Orleans to the rice swamps of the Carolinas, and the cotton plantations of the Great Valley. Oh no.

The editor of the Vermont Chronicle was no fanatic' His business was the abolition of the Anti-Slaverv So ciety, not of Southern Slavery. He could tolera'e Lewis A. Collier, the Richmond land-pirate, better than William Lloyd Garrison, the editor of the Liberator. He saw, as he supposed, an opportunity to make the friends of Emancipation odious in the eyes of the community. By practising a little pious fraud, the lan guage applied to the Richmond man-thief snd his kin dred slavetlrivers, could be turned against the almost idolized Washington.

The Observer challenges us to declare our opinion -Washington. We will answer the challenge next Rev. E. S. Gannett in England.

It is known to a portion of our readers, that the Rev. Mr. Gannett, of Boston, the colleague of Dr. Channing, was recently in England At the anniversary of the Peace Society.which as held in the Friends' meeting-house, Houndsditch, on the 22nd of June, he was invited io make a speech, and was introduced to the audience as a delegate from the American Peace Society. The moderator, on taking his seat, alluded to him in the following terms An American gentleman was present, and he trusted that he would lay some stress upon ibe methods adopt, ed by ministers there to promote the principles of peace.

He thought they needed a little instruction upon that point. But while America inculcated the principles of peace, let her also inculcate the principle of freedom, and all tbe giving of liberty to the slave. (Loud cheers.) In that way they might reciprocate good offices. (Applause.) To this Mr. Gannett, in his speech, responded as follows: There was one topic to which, from the remarks made by the Chairman, in- introducing the business, he felt it necessary to advert.

There were, he acknowledged, dark spots on America. Slavery still existed in the United States, to the shame and grief of Christian hearts. He came, however, from the north, where he had spent the whole of his days, and he could assure the meeting that be did not know a single mind in New England which did not regard slavery as the curse and the blot of their institutions. (Hear, hear.) Still, however, he was bound in justice to his country to add, that it was a question of such complicated relations, of such extreme difficulty in political aspects however simple might be its moral aspect that they ought to be judged with candor. If British generosity could not go further, it ought to be careful how it attributed blame when it remembered that slavery was not planted in the free, independent United States, but in British colonies.

(Hear, hear.) By the existing Constitution of the United States, Congress was absolutely precluded from meddling with the subject of slavery in tbe southern States. The District of Columbia was the ground of dispute between the northern and southern States ou the subject of slavery and while he admitted that Ihe nation, as a nation, could not touch slaverv south of Columbia, it had a right to touch it in Columbia. It ought to do it, and the North would be recteant to itself, if It suffered itsejf to be driven from that great position. Is it possible that Mr. dannett does not know a single man in New England wbo does not regard slavery as a curse and a blot Then is he to be pitied for his ignorance.

He does not even know the views of men in his own congregation As he is now about to resume his pastoral duties, we advise him to test the feelings of his people in relation to slavery, by preaching sermon from the text Remember them that are in bonds as bound with and by praying earnestly for the extinction of the system. Our word for it, he will bring a storm about his ears, hich, if it does not make him wish himself back again to the shores of old England, where he may utter his thoughts without molestation, will at least convince him that there are some people in New England who, if they do regard slavery as curse and a will not consent to be told of it. Da. Beechee's Sekxok. We think it cannot be ne cessary to call the attention of our readers to this masterly exhibition of the duties and responsibilities of citi zens, in respect to the right of suffrage.

The 'Doctor's arguments, whether applied to dueling or slavery, must commend themselves to every reflecting and conscien tious mind. They seem to us unanswerable and invincible sweeping away at once all the miserable sophistry by which it is attempted to absolve wen nm their obligation to act uprightly at the polls. This dis- course was preached before a Presbytery 32 years ago, when Dr. Bcecher was comparatively a young man. Then it was in his estimation a sin to elect a duelist to any political office.

But where is he now in his old age 1 Strange to tell, he belongs to a society, claiming character for benevolence and philanthropy at the head of which is a notorious DUELIST. SLAVE HOLDER, and PROFANE SWEARER! Does the Dr believe hat men whose crimes render ihem unfit; fill political offices, are qualified to preside over our benevolent associations Can that association be a benevolent one, which selects such a man as its high officer These are questions which we leave the Dr. himself to answer in the light of his own arguments. The discourse is considered a document of so much value at the present time, that Mr. Kuapp has conclu ded to publish an edition in pamphlet form.

Our friends will do well to give it a wide circulation. Nothing could be better adapted to convince those of our friends who are wavering on the subject of political action, or silence the cavils of opponents. Ma. GAxauos's Addxxss ui Nsw Yoax. Mr.
