The Rev. Hiram Wilson, of Dnwn, Cana-da West, well known for his duvolion to tho education nnd relief of tlio fugitive slaves in Canada, addressed the Convention, lie said the number of fugitives there was elioiit twenty thousand they are of all ages and capacities, men and women on whom the corrupting and Imhruting influence of Shi-yery lind been doing their work all their lives. It is not surprising that some of them should be, not ignorant only, but indolent nd even vicious but a very large ehure are a resnectuhle and worthy people, given to Industry, sustaining schools for their chil dren, and niQiutaiuing their lumilies com fortubl W. L. Garrison, from the Committee on Business, reported the following Resolu tion.

I 1. Resolved, (in the language of Daniel O' Comicll,) That, of nil men living, an American eitixon who is tho owner of slaves is tlio most dospicaMc ho is political hypocrite of tho very worst description." 2. Resolved, (in the language of Lord Brougham,) That, while men despise fraud, and loathe rnpine, and ahhnr blood, they will reject with indignation tho wild and guilty phantasy, that man can hold property in 3. Unsolved, (in tha language of John "Wesley,) That, Slavery is the sum of all villauics, and American Slavery tho vilest that ever saw tbe sun. 4.

Rosolved, (in the language of the Iter. Al bert Barnes,) That, there is no power nut of the church that could sustain Slavery an hour, if it wcro not sustained in ft. ltcsolvad, Tlmt tha criminality of the Ab olitionists consists, not in tho severity, but tho justness ot their language not in the lalscness, but the truthlulncss of tiicir accusations not in tha unsoundness, but the purity ol tiicir princi ples not in the rashness, nut the wise adapts tion of their measures to the glorious end they have in view and they are hated, persecuted and traduced, solely because they plead tor jus tire to a despised and persecuted raves becauso tney will not compromise with sin, nor go with the multitude to do evil because thoy maintain that whatever arrays itself against human liberty is not of God and because they declare that a religion which is stained with pollution and blood, though called by tho namo of Christ, is to be repudiated with indignation and abhorrence. 6. Resolved, That he who professes to admire tho Declaration of independence, and to revere the memories of its signers, and at the same time appeals to the llible, as the inspired word of (iod, in support of the roctituda of enslaving human beings, proves himself as unprincipled as tlio highwayman who pretends to repaid honesty as of paramount obligation.

7. Resolved, That thoy ho reproach tho Ab-olitinnisu for not so speaking against an all-pcr-vading, all-powerful nationul sin as to give no offence; for not so contending with atrocious tyranny as not to excito the displcusuro of tho tyrant for not so manuring their cause as to ercuto no alarm and causo no agitation for not so making their accusations and uttering their rebukes as to avoid all personal imputations for not an consulting a prudent and judicious policy as to avoid all misrepresentation, reproach and persecution, do exhibit great ignorance, folly and assurance, in requiring what a moral impossibility, and ijour contempt on the memo ries of tho prophets, of Christ and his aiMwtlcs, of reformors and martyrs in all ages of the world. 8. Kesolved. That while tho concral community may naturallv view the recent conduel of Diuiicl Webster ith urol'ound sadness and profound surprise, since the opportunity which tho labors of others had gained for him was such as no man in this country ever before enjoyed, and the rood which one bold word from his lips, in be half of justice and humanity, would have done is incalculable still, siuco the best service an influential man can do a good causo is to give it his hearty support, the next best always is, that a ho should openly oppnas it, wo foci that the cause of Freedom owes Mr.

Webster thanks at least for the frankness of his treachery and the openness of his opposition. 9. Kesolved, Thut tho recent course of Mr. Webster is no matter of surprise to us, since we bsve alwavs found hun, as to our question, si lout when he ought to speak, spooking when ho ought to act, and forgetful of every pledge pro- cUely at thst moment when tho promised duty was, if ever, to be performed with him it is matter of course to thunder pledges at Spring-field which ho dares not fullii at Washington, omit to say st Washington what he duro not omit printing at Boston, to have a desk as full Of amondmenU unofl'ered as his life is of pledges unredeemed, and, ijnit faluut like, to lead his too crodulous retainers into tho fullest endorse ment of the worst nf measures, and then slip his own neck free by churgiug mistakes upon the reporters that as to all such trifles he may fairly arguo that the community have no right be surprised, since habit is a sacond nature, and rarely in his lite has tho rigor of war como lo tlmt lofty and sounding phriiso of tho manifesto 'and that it is enough tor hiiu U) claim royal prototype in that Churlcs, Whoso word no man relied on, JWho never said a foolish thing, "AjiJ novox did a wise ono 1 10.

I'hulips and Garrison occupied the evening with elo quent and efleetivo addresses. 1 he whole truth of Anti-Slavery, especially in relation to the recent treacherous course of Daniel Webster, and its endorsement by some of the leading theologians ot Massachusetts, was spoken fearlessly and received by the great majority of the audience with tho highcHt satisfaction.

He could uot object nt all to what II. C.

Wright said. If Mr. W. had said the Bible was a lie, be would nave resisted such a proposition with all his might. But Mr.

W. had said no such thing. Mr. Mossier objected to the Resolutions, wrtly on account of the persons whose sentiments are quoted (O'Connell uudBiouglium particularly) and partly on account ol the sentiments themselves. He did not believe Slavery is the sum of nil villanies, nor the I American owner of slaves tho most ilespica- ble of men.

S. S. Foster asked him if he would uume a single human right or privi lege which Slavery did not cleave down. Mr. II.

Resolved, That wo hereby pledgo ourselves to the slaves, slaveholders and to abottors of Slavery, North and South, that we will exert ourselves to induce the slaves to escape from thoir mnstrrs.

and. whenever thrv eomo amonff us, to welcorao them to an enjoyment of all the liulusLrisl. intellectual, social, nolitical. and rcli- gious rights and privileges hich wo ourselves enjoy we will trample on all constitutions, all legislative enactments, all )udi iol decisions, all compromise, and all precepts nnd commands, that require tlio rendition ol fugitive slaves i and that, should Congress bo so regardless of justice and tho rights ot man as to pass auv law forbidding us to harbor fugitive slaves, and re- quiring us to aid tne sinvcnonicr or ino iinncu Sta os Marshal in returning such fugitives, wo will oppose tho execution nt such laus, and uo what can to make them null and void.

This great event in our annual Anti-Slavery lives has just passed away, at' ended by themost auspicious circumstances snd the most brilliant success, and will leave an impression on the great mass of mind within tho reach of its influences of the most pcrmomant and beneficent character.

It is a common observation of Abolitionists, and one that has its foundation In the nature of things and tho constitution of the hu man mind, that each successive gathering of the hosts Is tho most numerous and the most tri- It must be of necessity. This country is living very fost. It is crowding as much history into a year I as used to suflico for ten. Thanks to the influ ence of the Anti-Slavery movement, now most emphatically acknowledged by thoso that depre cate it most, the issue with Slavery is becoming daily more and more distinctly understood. The I wiso policy of silenco is become impossible Tlio I ancient reign of darkness is broken up.

All the I conjurations of tho wizards of tho South joined I to the spells of the magicians of tho North can not bring back the reign of Chaos and Old Night. All their incantations havo fuiled to blot out the Sun of Truth and Righteousness from tho Universe. Tho transient clouds they havo raised abide but for a day. "To-morrow ho repairs the golden flood, And warms tho nations with rcdnublul ray I dnrknevs, and Anti-Slavery being equally nusy jn nliouiiiiations, tho piuilic mind is kept in that state of excitation which is an es-its scntml preliminary condition of a final restoration t0 a normal state of moral health. To this thcrintf incrcusing interest of our publio meetings.

Every ytar suppliessorao new topic to servo as tno rallying cry oi mo occasion. Now it is a strido of Slavery towards the South to lay hold of the now worlds it is ever sighing to conquer. Now it seeks to lay its Slavery being thus ever busy in it works of gripo on tho throat of the North to choke down tho accents of remonstrance and silence the emotions of pity and Indignation. At one time it is an escapo from Slavery, tho circumstancos of which make plain to the dullest minds and the hardest hearts the horrors of the condition which was moro dreadful than the tortures and almost certain death which wcro braved for tho chanco of deliverance from it. At anothor, tomo Northern Statesman or Divino ha mado hi es cape from tho influence of tho institutions of the land of his birth, and delivered up himself a willing slave, to grind in the prison-house of the oppressor, or to keep guard over hi fcllow-slavos.

But at every hour, almost, of our history, we aro mot by facts issuing forth from tho bosom of Slavery and returning thither again, ghostly or grotesque appearances, which servo to cep its cxistcuco and its powor alivo in the minds of men. Ti recent treachery of Mr. Webster, the futile attempts to bolster him up, tho wido-sprcad indignation so broadly uttered from tho stern hat gavo the key-note to tho trumpet-call that summoned this Convention, and to the blast that issued from it. Wo have always filled up the nundution of Garrison to tho softer spoken aissont oi puipits ana religious presses, i i i rnictn oi our asx-muiy lung uciuro we uavu uu- i our sessions; but, this year, wo began with full house which never was less than 11,0 to tho ond. A many I mias wcro addressed as the capacity of tho I at rooms wo had to uso permitted to bo present.

If wo had had Faneuil Hall, the only proper place for our meetings, (if possible to bo obtained) both from its size and its associations, it would havo bcon filled from tho beginning to tho end. Under all tho disadvantgea of having to use three different places nf meeting, tho crowds followed us about with tho irrcsistiUo ufliiiity of steel filings for tho magnet. And tho now. paper reports, imperfect and malicious as most of than were, holpcd to keep alive curiosity and even to circulate our sayings. We nover had collected together a stronger force of tho shiest Anti-Slavery speakers, and the nuiuWof "tech- I 1 nica Almhtior.ists collected was nover iargor.

I In there wa. never a more favorable oP- portumty of making an impression on the An- of ti.siavery and the goncrol mind of the country, orMo opportunity better im- 1 1 proved. For tho specific details of the several sessions, it the ordcrot suhiects and tho succession of spcak-fcarful by ot WA op- been to shall ers, wo must rcfor our readers to the ofllcial ao-count of the Proceedings. The Resolutions will well repay a careful perusal, Thoy contain little the pith and marrow of the Anti-Slavery movoinoiit at the present atago of its existence. Thoy wcro exominod, illustrated and enforced thrtir diflireilt m-avB.

We are happy to know that this excel lent man has made good use of the abort time his visit to New England, snd has addressed the people In several of the principal towns with reach of Boston, with excellent effect. Sam Brooke, of Ohio, was also present, snd gar us his efficient aid in the financial department of our ofTuirs.

A plan was initiated, and funds enough raised to set it on foot, for a scries of at least a Hundred Conventions in Massachusetts and the other New Englsnd States, for the pur pose of agitating the question of Slavery, in its present phases, and especially as to the duty of the North to refuse to return fugitive If this plsn be sustained by the Abolitionists in tho spirit in which it was started, we think Mr, Webster will hsvo small causo to congratulate himself on the success of any conspiracy of his for the suppression of tho Anti-Slavery Agitation. The evening sessions were, as usual, the most thronged snd were the occasions of whatever of disorderly spirit was displayed. The two first evenings the meetings wcro held in Cochituate Hall, a room entirely inadequate to the purpose, and which could contain but a portion of those desirous of attending. On both, there was a disorderly clement present which attempted st times to obtain the mastery, but was put dowsi without difficulty. The closely packed audi, enco seemed well content to endure the pressure which they had to endure for the sake of the good things set before them.

Tho closing meet FoncuUHall was one of the largest assetav blagcs ever collected within its walls. Indeed, Daniel Webster himself could not have filled it fuller, for every seat and standing place, in the galleries and on the floor, and far into the resti-bulo overflowed with ono "sea of upturned faces." Of this vast audioncc, from foor to five thousand persons, all but two or three hundred wcro there for tho purpose of hearing what was to bo said although it is not to bs supposed thot all wcro of one way of thinking. Mr. Oarrison's speech was heard from beginning to end without material disturbance. The small body of rioters rallied during the space of time necessary for Mr.

Pillsbury to get the platform, and they did their best to prevent his having a hearing. In tho midst of tho turmoil, Mr. l'illshury faced them calmly and seriously, and at every lull gave them a home thrust, which often made them wince. Indeed tho greatest part of his speech was heard in all parts of the hall, and his sarcastic rebukes and the keen causticity with which he set their sins in order before them, often compelled considerable inter vals of silence. Mr.

1'hillips, who finished the evening, soon obtained the ear of tho audience, and kept it. though not without frequent interruption throughout. The excellent wit of his illustra tions, and the good humor with which he n- gloctod or noticed the disturbers, extorted the attention even of the mass of the rioters, who were by no means a dangerous body, consisting of tho swocpings of the rum shops, and a few ghop-boys, with a sprinkling of better dressed in in young men, having the appearance nf medical or law students. Whatever comfort Mr. Webster could derive from tho cheers of theso recruits to tho ranks nf his retainers, no ono would be cruel enough to wish to deprivo Cer-tainly, whatever attention Mr.

Phillips had was not owing to his keeping back any of the coun- scl of God. Mr. Webster and his Retainers' relations ho illustrated thus Mr. Webster made his Speech, and his Retainers said to him, a tho tipsy Duko of Noifolk said to an equally tipsy loon companion, who had fallen down in tho gutter. My friend, I cannot help you up but I will do tho next best thing in my power wilt lie down by your tide Only with this dilfcreiico (alluding to Mr.

backing out of his unqualified support of Mason's bill, after his Retainer had endorsed it in the gross), that alter they had loin down he get up and sneaks away, leaving them in tho miro 1 So when he was, in anticipation of Mr. Gliddon, unrolling the mummy of the Rev. Mr. Rogers, of Winter Street (tho same meek and holy man of God of whom our Boston Correspondent discoursed last week), and alluding to that Reverend gen-, tleman having recently said that tho Disunion ists would sit down with Judas in the world to como, he spoko of his impr jneo, as a Retainer of Mr. Wobstcr, in putting such an illustration in our way, when we had heretofore contented ourselves with Benedict Arnold, and then pro ceeded with a parallel, after the manner of Plutarch, between those two eminent characters, tho audience heard evory word of it.

After Mr. Phillips had finished, the resolutions wcro put and passed, and the Meeting adjourned, with three tremendous cheers for tho Anti-Slavery Causo, which quite put to shame those interpolated, from time to time, for Mr. Webster. All tho members of the Convention, I believe, went home with a joyful feeling of victory of the triumphant manner in which the riotous demonstrations wore put down It i but justico to say that the Mayor, Hon. John P.

Bigclow, was present, with a largo body of Police, of which ho took the personal direction, being resolved to sustain tho Meeting in its rights. In this rospoct, he seems to have set tho Head of your City an example in tho dutioa of Civio Magistracy, by which he may profit, if hi day of grace be not passed. x. a.Xaiionai Aiili-Siamry Standard. by Temperance.

She was followed by D. McCurdy, who tho'i she bad not treated tho rumsellcrg severely enough but we ore confident that this criticism was not made by many beside himself.
