Anniversary of the Illinois Anti-Slav- cry Convention at Alton. Some Interesting Reminiscences of (ke Leading Sholitfonists of {he State. Organization of the First Scclety Against Human Bondage. The date of this tasue of “i7t% TRIBUNR is the fortieth Snniversary of the holding of one of the most Important meetings which hias ever heen attended in Iilinofs. Not a Conetitutional Con- ventlon, for voters can call them—not o Legie- Iature, for any cheap ward politician can elect a Benator lu ono of those budies—not an assocta- tion of theologians to pronounce dogmas on what they know nothing about, but san assem- blage of extraordinary inteilects, backed by con- viction and determinution, hent on at lepst ex. pressing un oepinion ahvut—or filing a protest agalnst—what was then considered an evll, a barbarism, and, even worse, a Wrong—hutnan slavery. To Tece the situation of the State at that tiine—joined as it wus Lo a slaye Blate on the southwest~—~wotild be to write the carly history of the Cotnmonwealth over airain, aud that fa to wamder outside thia Intcution, as muvh so &s to write the biographs of LoveJuy, which should be, and s, known full well, The aerembly which et forty years ago to- day was designiated *The 1inols Aoti-Slavery Convention,” held at Uuper Alton on the 2fith, 23th, and 2sth of Octohicr, 1537, and fte proceed- inus are duly ret forth in au extra of the Alton Olwereer dated in 188, This s fn the form of o }mmnhlcl of thirty-xix pages of curfously old- ashioned form, without s cover, and de- vold of auy sort of typouraplical trick mich s commend the modern edition to people of taste: but these things commend the samg to niblinphilesund descendantsof s former age Fho love to rewnind themselves of what they are and have been. - . This paniphlet recites aa an introduction that the delegates to this Conventlon were of those peovle of the State of Iliinols who wers fuvor- able to the lmmediate abolition of Slavery (with a ll-size 8) in the United States, and then adds, with a charming innocence of the sound of things In catse und effect, ** In consequence of the tntruglon of a number of disorderly persone, the Couvention did not duly = organize until the afternoon.” There {8 noth- ing more ubout martyrdom than this, which scems to have been o tull enough atatement that the rioters broke up the meet- ing at one time. The call for the Conventlun, #lemed by Fiijah P, Lovejoy, touched on'the fact that the Olserrer press had been three times de- atroved in Alton in the gpace of a little more than one year, calling thus to mind the history of that eeries of abuses which culininated in the tragical death of Luveoy.
