President ALLEN of Northampton, formerly the head of Waterville College, Me., next addressed the chair in a rambling, ineffective speech, in the course of which he argued that though the disso- ‘ution of the Usion might be a great evil, in his »pinion, the annexation of Texas was a greater. e quoied the lines of Mr. Wm. Jones, commene- ing with— “What constitutes a State ™” and recited the paserge with the gusto ef acon firmed pedant. From that he touched upon Mr. ‘alhoun’s correspondence on the Texas uestion, and dragged in by the head and choaldane, the stale slang abyut Jackson’s quarrel with Calhoun, yn account of one of the ladies of his cabi (At this allusion of the reverend gentle! was much applanee.) When Mr. Allen concluded Mr. Hussey, a Quaker abolitionist from Lynn, took the floor, and moved that the comniittee on business be instructed to report resolutions con- demning the action of South Carolina and Louisi- ana in semding home Messrs. Hoar and Hubbard. The Hon. Mr. Puriiies thought it better that the coramittee should not be instructed, as the Massachusetts Legislature were about to have some able resolutions on these subjects, re} d oy a committee. If the motion were modified sons to leave the subject at the discretion of the com- mittee, he should bein favor of it. Hussey agreed to the modification, and the motion was adopted, The Convention then adjourned to 7 o'clock in the evening. [Correspondence of the Herald:] Boston, Wednesday, Jan. 29.

At 20 minutes past 3, the Convention was called to order by the President, and Judge Allen, from the Committee on the Address, submitted a very long Address to the People of the United States.— The address takes strong ground against the anuex- ation of Texas—denies that the representatives in Congress can indicate the assent of their States to the measure, and refers to the fact that the original Union of the States was formed by a Convention, the members of which were specially chosen and delegated for that purpose. The formation of the treaty is then alluded to, its rejection by a two- thirds vote of the Senate, and the subsequent intro duction at the present session of a joint resolution, which is stated to be modified in form but having substantially the same objects. The address de- plores the passage of this resolution by the House. and states that if it pass the Senate, the forms of law will be complied with, but the spirit thereof violated; that a precedent will thus be establishec which will lead to the trampling on the tr aty-ma- king power of the Senate. The opinion is strong. ly urged that a resolution in any shape, for the en * nexation of another nation, is a compact or treaty with a foreign government, and therefore of neces- sity, according to the Constitution, requires a two thirds vote of the Senate. The doctrine is, however, laid down in the ad. dress, with great positivenese, that there is no power in any, or all the branches of the nations government, for the annexation of foreign tern tory. The precedents of Lousiana and Floride are mentioned in the addrese, aid it is denied that any of the discumstances of necessity, which some have supposed, excused those infractions of the Constitution, exist in the present case. The nex position of the address is, that annexation is enl- culated and desigued tor the .Purpose of upholding, strengthening, and perpetuating negro slavery; anc the frankness of Mr Calhoun’s avowal upon thi- subject is strengly urged. A large space is devoted to a view of the institution of slavery in the United States, from the time of the revolution to the pre. sent time; and the opinions of Washington, Jeffer- son, Patrick Henry, John Jay, and others in favor of abolishing slavery, are cited. The fact that the Constitution does not once mention slavery, ir touched upon; and also the incompatability of slavery with some of the first provisions of that in. strument. Other objections to annexation, inde. pendent of the constitutional objection, are ther urged; and particularly with reference to the man- ner in which Texan independence was achie- ved, viz: by citizens of the United States, and soldiers of the United Statesarmy. The address then assumes that the United States must, in case of the annexation of Texas, pay her debts, supposed to be $20,000,000, assume the war against Mexico, and possibly get involved in war with other, and more powerful nations. In con- clusion, the address sums up by saying that Mas. sachusetts denounces the “iniquitous project,” ir every light in which it can be placed, as a measure which will overthrow the constitution, and’ dis- solve the bonds of the existing union. An appea' 1s made to the citizens of the non-slaveholding States to oppose annexation on the score of inte rest, and the members of Congress from the free States, who have voted for annexation, are’ de- noynced, living or dead, in the most termagen’ terms, the concludiag words of this remarkable document being ‘guilt and ruin.” The Reverend Mr. Lovgsoy, of Cambridgeport, a brother of Lovejoy who was murdered by an an ti-abolition mob at Alton, eo years ago addressed the President upon the subject of th: address. He said when Louis XVI. left his throne and came into the national assembly tor the las! time, he eaid, “citizens of France, I come here 1c prevent a great crime.” So, ton, do this Conven- tion come here to prevent a greatcrime! (Great applause ) But Louis was not successiul, and he lost his head, becuuse the measures adopted by ; ., _ EVENING SESSION. Vice President Grenngit. took the Chair at the appointed hour, and there being no business before he Convention, Greres S. Hrnvarp, E: ced a very poetical speec jst the annexation f Texas, He viewed it first as a moral question, ind condemned the mercensry motives which ha yeen appealed to to induce Massachusetts to ap- prove of annexation. He said she would get no venefit to her commerce or manufactures by an- nexing Texas, and even if she would, he thought it lisgraceful that_a free people should be willing to »xtend slavery for the sake of a few paltry dollars wofit. Leaving this tonic, he then examined at length the assertion put forth by Mr. Calhoun that England had made a mistake by emancipating the slaves in the West Indiea, lauding Great Britain vighly for that act. The argument in favor of an- nexation, founded on the probable increase of the value of slave property, was next brought forward ind commented upon with great severity. As to ill these appeals from the South to help to improve heir slave property, Massachusetts had but one inswer to make, and that was, ‘it was not so no- nated in the bond.” He said he had theught a great deal on the annexation of Texas, and. felt leeply 5 and he wondered the people of New Eng- land had so much apathy on the eubject; and that he guns fired upon the Common yesterday sounded o him like the horrid exultations of the priests of Moloch around the sacrifice of a human victim.— (Unbounded applause.) Wm. Luoyp Garrison, the celebrated leader of the abolitionists, was next called for from various parts of the hall, and came forward amidst the most rapturous demonstrations of applause. He stid he rose to second the motion made by Mr. Lovejoy, in the afternoon, for the recommitment of the address, and he would further move to in struct the committee to report an addition to the address, substantially as followe:— “That in view of the fact that two branches of the General Government have already declared their approbation of the annexation of Texas, we jeem it our duty to declare what ought and will be the course of Massachusetts. Deeming it uncon- stitutional, we declare that the people will never submit to itas_the law of the land; will look upon the Union as dissolved, and proceed to form anew Government of itself with such of the free States as will join with her, and that if the annex- ition bill pass the Senate, the Committee be iv- structed to issue a call to the several towns of the State, to assemble and choose delegates for a se- cond session of this Convention, to form a new anion with such, States as choose to join Massa- thusette, the usion of 1789 having by annexation been dissolved.” This proposition of Mr. Garrison was received with great ely Sabor and a few hisses. Referring o the latter, he said, he learned by that noise that ye had hit the nail on the head, and he called tpon he brave hearts before him to see that the nail wasclenched. (Shouts ot approbation; one chap salledouttreason.) Mr. G. said he represented 3.000,000 of slaves, in the Convention; all the free tacks, and the abolition party of the Union. He wae Had to hear the venerable President ommend the abolitionists as the uncompromising ‘nends of liberty. He claimed to be one of these, mda true one. He would explein, however, why ne was here. The Hon. Mr. Philips had stated of Boston, commen- nis councillors were too timid. He lost hit § shat he was here in ‘support of the Constitution hed throne, and his head. He implored the Cor § ,, ion. We A BO vention not to let (their tmeamtres’ in tthe | (ne, Uslee ell, it the gentleman meant ithe Union versus annexation, then he was an unionist; ‘ he meant the Constitution versus annexation, hen he was a constitutionalist. But if the gen- !eman meant to uphold the Constitution and Union, ifter the one had been violated, and the other dis- solved by annexation, then he was no unionist or constitutionalist. He would never uphold the ua- holy compromice of the Constitution with slavery, tor his motto, as was well known, was—‘“No inion with slaveholders!” (Prolonged and deaf- ning applause ) The question was abeut support- ag the Conatitution—but had we any Censti- tion to support? Where stands Massachusetts at the present time? Where are the rights of her co- lored citizens in southern States? Havenot South Carolina and Louisiana declared war against Massachusetts? We are liable to be throwa into prison in the southern States, and sold into per- vetual bondage, if we dare to stand up in sapport of our honest sentiments. This was the Union and the Constitution, and the Union they now en- joyed, and would they support it? He said he con- nted to be a member of this Convention, be- « he supposed it was to meet under the ad- nission that Texas would be annexed, and so there would be no Constitution and no Cnion, and we must meet to form another.— Who tthe Sechker jaquireds) needs to be told what we ought todo? The proposition of the Rev. Mr. Lovejoy was to declare that Massachusetts wae ‘reed from the obligation to support sla by the annexation of Texas. Did he mean that because he South did an unconstitutional act we should jo another? Suppose that Texas annexed, ind the opponents of slavery should have the power in Congress, and should, vnder the present constitution, pasa an act for the abolition of slave: throughout the Union—would not that, he asked, be a violation of the constitution? He said that if the convention meant to act upright, they would ooldiy declare the Union to be dissolved, when it was so—and not talk about saving the constitu tion. He would deal fairly with the South; and if the constitution was dissolved by the annexation, as the address declared it would be, let us go to work and form another. He hoped that no more such action would take place as did when Missouri was admitted to the Union. Then Maesachusetts held a convention and issued an address, written by Mr. Webster, declaring a solemn protest against the measure. But Missouri was admitted, not- withstanding, as a slave-holding State; and several other slave States bad been admitted since, almost without a word of disapprobation. That move- ment ended in words, worde—and, he asked, did they mean to enact that farce over again ?— He'said they must declare the Union null and void, and cail on the other free States to come over and help us; and if all faltered and held cack, Massachusetts, with God and right on her side, was able to stand against the country and the world. (Great applause.) But she could not do so, while holding fast to a covenant with death and an agreements with hell. if the Convention, with Texas in the Union, meant only to protest, and let al! go on as before—still to be the body-guard of slave-holdere—let them not say present case be too timid. (Loud applause.) H- said he believed the measures to be adopted by u will either precipitate action upon the subject of th: annexation of Texas, or else, if we come up firmly and nobly as men, may stay that hafld which ic about to write “infamy” upon our national banne! and our history. He said he came here to discuss this question alone ; upon some points his mine was fixed, but upon others he wanted light fro: the minds here. He wanted to know why there was such a fever and ague to aunex Texas? For sometimes the friends of the measure were shaking with apprehension, and again burning with zeal He wanted to know if we hadn’t got land enough in the United States, without taking Texas ?— “©Why,” said he, ‘1 can show you lands of the richest kind in the State of Maine, which any man can buy tor 50 cents per acre, and pay for i by working out his taxes on the highway. New Hampshire, with her heart-as hard on this subjeci as her own granite hills—she is not all settled— New York is not—nor Ohio—nor Michigan; and it you will go to Ilinois, 1 will show you un ploughed prairies which will furnish a loaf ot! bread and an Indian pudding for all. Land, then was not the object. But it was said that the people desired Texas. He denied it. The anti-slavery party, he knew, did not desire it; the whigs saic they did not—and no action of the democratic party showed that they were altogether in favor of it He said Van Buren was the candidate of the de mocratic party up to last Lot Their banner wat Van Buren versus Texas But the South was in the convention, and Van Buren was wrapped into his Anti-Texas proclamation and thrown into the dock with the injunction to sink or swim, live or die, for they could do nothingfor him. The South coaxed the other delegates to vote for Polk’snomi nation, but they did not mean that they wanted Texas. How was it in New York, he asked There Silas Wright sat in his tent like Achilles, and refused to stir for Texas; he would not mow until some Patroclus of the Party was slain He said his friend Andrews, the abolitionist, scared the South into the projecture of annexation by hi proposition in England to procure the abolition o: slavery in Texas. That has set John Tyler t work, the accidental President; some called him, the providential President. Hut for el he doubted whether Providence would own John Tyler. (This impious sally of the reverned orator was received with three times three overwhelming shouts of applause.) He said Texas was wanteo for a wicked purpose, as was proved by the corres- pondence of Messrs Upshur, Calhoun, and Mur. phys the laetof whom he was told was drunk on oard a steamboat, when he embraced Captain Honston in ratification of the Texas bar gain. The treaty was thus hatched up, and went before the Senate, where it was killed by the eloquent Choate and others. Whe. ther Captain Tyler was headed by Mr. Botta or not, he was headed that time by the Senate, and no mistake. (More applause.) ‘‘Now,” said he. “there is a plan contrived to ride overthe constitu tional power of the Senate, rough shod. Will ‘ou sanction it 7” Re asked. Scattering, no, no, | (hat the Seuth had betrayed the eout or the con- here and there.) “ What shall we do 1 he ‘ask stitution, for the thenivelves would then become ed. ‘He wanted discussion; not round the board, (reacherous to Massachusetts, to the principles thev but to hear those here talk, whose whiskere professed, and to the God whe made them 0,” were twisted up by the north west wind. (Im- mense approbstion.) He said,if the convention, after all their flaming proclamations for the meet- ing, sent out that address, they would make them- elven ridiculous. All the arguments on it had been before the people long ago, and they were worn thread-bare. He said it was time to do pata (Shouts, of applause.) The North ought to be told distinctly, that if they annex Texas, we will pledge ourselves to war against the accursed institution of slavery, in eve ie way, natil it was weakened, bleeding, and killed. (Here the opplause was ternfic—the delegates ‘ooking like infuriated madinen.) He then sub- mitted the following resolution :~ Resolved, That in case the area of slavery be exten ‘e by the annexation of Texas (vo the United States, the free Scates wall be relieved from all obligation, which may be supposed to have bound them in any manner to the snp port of slavery ; and that at will be their duty to treai slavet olding on land, no less tuan on the sea, a8 a rpecies of piracy, at war with tutions and not to be counten: er, either by restoring fugitive or furnishing military aid to ” servile rection. Rie yesolution thus submitted, under the rule adopted, went to the business commitiee. said he, “it is glorious to look to the South, and witness the devotion there. The slave-holders fees to believe that slavery came down from Hea- ven, Tike be wal ON ae — ai they not con- stant worshippers hey say that slavery is sanc- tioned by the Bible, and are they not devotional ? C glory in the con ney of their villany, for I ho- nor # consistent villain, We are not coi me dagi ld ve make great professions and always falter. The South do not do so. Math nd ). The Rev. gentleman then denounced, in hot terms, those de- ‘nocrats who had represented this Convention as 9 second edition of the Hartford Convention, hailed his “ brother whige” with joy ia thi cause, and at length concluded with a quotation from the poet Whittier, terminating with the declaration hat * Massachusetts would be the foremost tr nake others free.” He then eat down amidst the most hearty bursts of applause Euenezex Hossey then got up, and there were ioud calis to know What bis name was, of which he gave them the requisite information, and stated farther more that he was from Lynn. He then quoted the celebrated remark of Lucifer, that “all 14 not lost,” and said we had the Uni t 8. He went for it, just as it is, and would the slightest concens to the slave-holders; he would have no bowing the craven kuee in the dust. Le said, “it there was eny one here who hed any pare! in tis heart for Texas, let him #0 to the land of the koave and the thief.” Some persous said, that we had nothing to do with sle- very, but he would ask them how much the traders of the north hed lost by the debus of the slave- holding Statest He would call their attention to the much greater sum paid by the eoun/ry im sala- ea, (o southern presidents than to morthe re diflerenee agaist the sreretarire, con aud for scuche 1€t to lock ue claves in, be of $40 000,000 paid tor the 8 Floridasomestmes caled the Piorida atcheering ) Me then alluded to the psition of the C ‘euton, and asked if the paid to vice deny Ke aye sides the immense su negro-b whige were there t~(" Yes, yeu,” was the geoeral reaponse.)

(Cree of shame.) As to the idea preached ep by some democrats that the anwexation of Texas would lead to the abolition of slavery, he w aay ae an abolitioniet, thathe wat ne su id. He said ery would die out of iteelt ia fifteen ye: if Texas was kept out of the Union, ior it cost $46 per year to support slaves in the South, ind they produced on the average only $37), anc it was idle to suppose that the slave! Ts would keep up the system much longer whea it was such a loosing business, He suid that northern trade was to be improved, “not by annexing Texas, but by burning slavery out.” (Great and prolonged ipplause ) The Hon. Linve Carin, of the Senate, arose ind said that the question was not now what we hall do it Texas be annexed, but what we shail do to prevent annexation; that we came not here to speak of a dissolution of the Umon, but to i. voke the power and aid of the constitution to vent it; he, therefore, moved to lay the motion to re-commit and the motion to amend, on the table The question to lay on the table was taken and car- ried by a small majority. There being no busiarss then before the Conven. tion, the membera were disposed to have another reat of eloquence, and so there was a general cali ‘or HB. Stanton, the abolitionist, and third party didate for Congre the lete election in thr i eady, cocked and primed, ty pounde: inst the de- ted anuexation. He com mended the anti-slavery portion of the address re- sorted by the committee, #8 being high toned and strong, and to him perfectly satistactory. He saic much that was new and good, but the good had heen said before,and the new was not wort saying. Yet he was well applauded, and apparently satisfied with his performance. : Some members of the committee on -businese being non est, the Chair sppointed Messrs. ©. B Boynton, Henry Wilson, Erastus ate oN N. B. Borden, and Thomas N. French upon the said committee. “ Stetson,” “ Stetson,” was now called from all quarters of the hall, and, in response, a portly gentleman, with a bland countenance, the perfect eimbodyment of Dickens’ Pickwick, (making all due allowance for the enlarging effect of the abun. dant and healthy fare of the United States, upon Mr. P ) rolled himeelf forward, and wad greeted with shouts of laughter and applause. The Chair announced him as the Rev. Canes Srateon, of Medford. ‘Ihe fat geatleman run over with the usual common place topics, which had been thrummed on throughout the day and evening, and so far as we eould perceive, very little to the elu- cidation of any important truth. But his manner irresistubly comic, that he kept the whole in a roar of laughter, which was by no means mitigated by his occasional assurance that he did not see what shies. were laughing at. Occa- sionally he wou'd turn his massive back upon the audience, and, in the heat of his zeal, shake | his fiat at the Chairman, with the most pugnacious in dications; and as the merriment of the convention broke forth at this, he would throw himself abou by a sndden jump, face the “seu of grinning faces,” traverse the rostrum trom corner to corner, like an enraged tiger, and then lay down some common truism, as if he meant it should never rise again. fur ‘* the brightest pleasures are aye the fl-etest,” and the worthy parson svon left the rostram, and then the Convention adjourned to meet atthe Tremont Temple, at 10 o’clock, to morrow moraing. The Tremont Temple was selected as the place for, the adjourned meeting, because Faneuil Hal) would be used for the municipal election to morrow. Tuurepay, Jan. 30, 1845. At 20 minutes past 10 o’clock,the couvention as sembled in the Tremoat Temple (the old Tremont Cheatre). About as many delegates were presen! ag on the previous day; and the galleries were well filled with spectators ot both sexes, and of colors as varied as the epirits described by the witches in Macbeth. Prayer was made by the Rev. President Milen, of Northampton, and then the President, Hon. Judge Williams, took the chair Messrs. S. C. Phillips, of Salem; Charles Allen, of Worcester; John G. Gray and Chas. F. Adanis, ef Boston; and William B. Calhoun, were appoint- ed the permanent committee of correspondence, crovitied forin the report of the committee adopte: yesterday. . ‘ Mr. Garrison objected to the committee—that they were all of the whig party, and he thought the abolitionists ought to be represented, and per- haps the democrats. ; A Mr. Puituirs, the chairman of the business committee, read a letter from the Hon. Leverett Saltenstall, of Salem, a prominent actor in getting up the Hartford Convention. This letter expressea the most decided hostility to annexation, and the writer’s regret at not being able to be present Mr. Phillips then made a great flourish of trumpets about a letter he had got from a distinguished democrat of Massachusetts against the annexation of Texas, and in tavor of the objects of the con vention, Expectation was on tip-toe, and the as- sembly were making up theit mouths to hear a dec- laration against Texus from the Rooaee Morton, the eloquent Bancroft, or the brilliant Rantoul, at least, when lo, and behold! the ‘* distinguished democrat” turned out to be one James Fowler, an obscure individual of Westfield, who lett the “locos” some year or two since, and is now an abolitionist. The name came lik cold water upon the heated expectations ¢ venuon, and there was quite a * le” when it was announced by the pompous chairman. The letter was read umid some faint galvanized ap plause, and then another from Professor Stuart of Andover. The president said if he had as many arms as Giges, they should all be raised to prevent annexation ; but in his present situation, with one foot in the grave, it appeared to him unseemly that he should take an active part in the conven tion. {n_ compliance with Mr. Garrison’s suggestion, the Correspondence Committee was enlarged by the addition of two members, and James Fowler, of Westfield, and James G. Carter, of Lancaster, two abolitionists, were appointed. ; Mr. Mosgs Graaa, of Roxbury, rose and claim- ed the attention of the meeting. The Hon. 8. G quondam Peter Parley, endorsed Mr. Gregg as “an eminent democrat from Roxbu- , and the head of the Roxbury delegation in the Convention.” He said he was a democrat and he thought there were a great many democrats in Massachusetts opposed to the ennexation of Texass. He was oppored te it, and ‘‘would sooner take the serpent if in his bosom. No, no, Lam a de mocrat, but ot democrat enough for this.” (Great applause.) He informed the meeting that he was not willing to lift up his hand, voice, or anythi else, for the “enanexation of Texas.” (G: sation among the ladies.) Facing the Pre: and turning his back upon the Convention, he be- gan to thunder out against “the most eminent, most cussed, most diabolical Convention at Balti. more.” When there were loud shouts of ‘turn round,” to which a wag responded by replying, “‘he nas already turned round, don’t you hear him ?”— sally produced much mirth among the mem- bera, The speaker turned round, and with hy ed depressed, and eyes elevated, glowered upon the audience like a mad bull; but his hostility wae sgainst the measures of the Battimore Convention, and he gored them “the worst kiud,” pronounciny hem “the moet wretchedest, the most wicked: re ever heard of” (Tremeodous epplause.) He toncluded his bellicose speech by favoring the Convention with this remarkable axiom—*‘Just ar sure as you proffer your hand to the devi! for a tem- vorary purpose, as I’ve said before, he will em- brace you body and soul.” The speaker then sat down amidst shouts of laughter. ASam, The Rev. S. J. May, of Lexington, an abolition- ist, non-resistant, peace man, éc., then took the id, and commenced by stating that he cordially approved the address which had beeu reporied, ex- cept in one particular, viz: that wherein it acsumed , that the constitution of the Unired States was not jovended to countenance slavery. He denied this assumption, and branded it as false. (Great ap- plouse ) He eaid he once thought that the consti- tution was not designed to uphold slavery, but the pobheation of Mr Madison’s papers had thrown new hght vpon the subject, and he was now salis- fied that it wes cunnivg'y worded, to countenance and protect slavery. He condemned the compro- mise in favor of slavery, which was entered into at the formation of the constitution, and said, if the question was vow before the people, upon the adop- non of that instrament,he would reject it, union or oe unten, peace or war! (Long continued shouts of approbation ) From this he branched off upon the ection of South Caroiwa towards Mr. Hoar, end the imprisonment ot Torrey in Baltimore, ing that the zeal ef the south for the continu. of slavery bad been much incressed by the ning of the cotton lands, and that such outrages would not b been attempted some years ago. said “os proud Virginia now ? Why, vy the increased demand forslaves, she had become the very Guinea of America!’ (Boisterous appro- vation.) He said the people of Massachusetts were aot bold enough in their action ; they had been too tumid, and had suffered great principles tosink out ot waht Prymouth rock was then exhumed by him from the whari where & isburied, and many bitter tears of eloquence poured over its fate. lor die it please the speaker that the fragment of the rock om the public street of Piymouth, was surroundec by an iron wall so high that he could not jump over it, stand upon the rock, and feei it with his feet. (Loud applause.) Recurring to the sub- jeet of the address again, he said the Convention mast commence this new chapter without anything like co ie or evasion; ter truth, and truth only, could save them; and he would have Massa chusetts, henceforth, speak only strictly true and eretly right. He was, therefore, in faver ot »riking out all that part of the address which as sumed that the constitution did not guarantee sla- od insert, instead thereof, the disgraceiu we have egreed to the support of vat will do so no longer. He would hav orth thet we will not help the South any longer: be Texas mexed. He wished to declare 11 hat address, thet tf Texes is annexed, the Unior sdissolved! (Great applanse.) Mr. James G Camrer, of Lancaster, opposed the wosition of the leet speaker, and contended thar the address was right upon the subject of the con titution, and made a distinction between a gueran- ce of slavery and the guarantees given to slavery The former did not exist in the constitution, thy Mr. Webster truly said in his speech in 1836 He cited the opposi- to the ratification ot the the Virginia Convention on the ground tha: id not contain any sufficient guaro against the abolition ot ery. The speaker took J that the exietence and protection of sla- very was left a question of construction, but that the South had beaten in the race of construction, as ueuel, and now it wasthe business of the North to labor to reverse the construction. He would ike to have the address so amended as to declare that if the institution of slavery cannot be main tained without violating the constitution, it be- comes the duty of ciuzens of the free States two adopt measures for weakening end abolishing it — He said the measures of the National Government were too much directed to uphold slavery, which the South were determined to maintain per fas aut nefas, and oftener aut nefas, and complained that the eighty gua force on the coast of Africa, stipu lated for in the Ashburton treaty, was employed in »rotecting the trade in thumb screws, fetters, &c., for slaves, instead of in preventing the slave trade Then there was a great call for ** Adams,” “« Bnges,” d&e., but a fat person named Fowler, from Fail River, got the floer, and moved that tne juestion on the address be taken at one o’clock,P , as many of the members wanted to go hom: his afternoon. The motion was adopted nem con e Hon. C. F. Anas, of the Mass. Senate, » son of John Qaincy Adams, then took the stand, and contended that some of the measures proposec by the convention were, in his opinion, very un wise, as being calculated to increase the dissen- gions between citizens of the free States, and thu: lestroy the power of the North as opposed to the South. He would have the convention recollec hat Massachusetts was a very small portion ot thr free States, and whatever the put forth must be founded on a basis that could not be ehaken by vavil, That address wae just the basis we wanted, ond by sending that out to the eerie. it woule rreatly facilitate our perpose hat purnose he onsidered to be to make the gues of slavery the great issue in the polttics of the country” (Grea: una | conunced epplause, esprcuily by the abo ‘itionists ) As to the talk im which some membere had indulged about dissolving the Union, by hought it very bad policy, for there was ne he South would like better than to push the vutof the Union. He said he wae going to stay i) the Union, and if any pushing out was to be done vecan push out #6 well asthey, (Great applause ) The Hon. Lisvs Cairo, of the Massachucet senate, then took the stand, and proceeded t snalyze the majority in gress, in lavor of pack vog the bill for annexing Texas. As to dissolving che Union, he wanted not to hear about it, bat i Texas was annexed by joint resolution, he woul: ro for the repeal of that resolution; he would have Vassachuseits disregard it, #8 of no binding toree snd act precisely as though ut had no passed — (This practical nullification meeis with great favo: ‘fn the Coavention, as was menitested by the moer feateniog applause that had been aecorded to apy novement throughout the whole proceedings.) “Yes,” said he, “if Texas is put in by jount resolu ion, we will put ic owt again in the same way.”— (Loud shou's of applause.) Judge ALLEN expreseed himself opposed to Mr ‘tera proposition to amend the « some because it was not strong enough, and some- what because he did not think any euch declare ion advisable at this stege of the question, I Texas wae annexed, he pledged himeelt, so hely iim God, to wage eteraal wartare against slavery Che judge said it was very desirable that ther hould be harmony in this convention, for then ity proceedings would go forth to the free States anc rouse them to action. He hoped that the Con vention would not break up in dworder, fo that would be very bad business. — (Great applause.) Mr. AviEeN then touched upon the anxiety of many members to return to their homes, ane hoped that the Convention would dimolve, after which those who wanted to disouss the address could stay and speak, tor he presumed they cowle nave the Hall. Whether the Convention woule ever assemble again wae doubtful; if Texas war not annexed, there would be 0 neovmmity for i, but if the Senate passed the Joint Resolutions, thes the Heavens would look dark, and the clouds wewle thicken, aod it would be necessary for us to mee again, and often. Mr. Carrer then withdrew bie proposition, eed one o’clock having arrived, the question of adopting the address was called for, Mr. Ganrison colled for the reading of that part of the address referring to the consti\athional por. tion of slavery, but the President refaerd to lei amy portion of the address be read, the hour tor tkwe he question having arrived ‘The question on adopting the address wae thee taken and decided in the affirmative, Gerry negro delegate, and some few other, rieing age the address GARRISON arose to protest againet that portion of the aduress concerning the Constitution A black dele: ‘capes to protest also, and wanted to say a word.

A vinegar-faced abolitiomet jnquired whether the fat parson was president of the convention | (Shouts of laughter.) * No,” said the parson, “but! am a member. and will speak i that we any other!” Great applause and cris ot “good.” : Somalnae moved that Clark, the black man, ing a song,but the President said “business betore pleasure,” and a report from the Commutice on Resolutions, was now in order. Mr. Hvasey, of Lynn, then reported some reso- lutions upon the subject of South Carolina « Louisiana, io reference to their expelling Messrs Hubbard and Hoar, | Mr. Catnoun, of Springfield, advocated the reso tutions, and concluded by moving that the sub stance of them be embodied in a memorial and resented to the Massachusetts Legisiature, in be half of the Convention, Mr. Hupsarp, ot Pittsfield, the agent of Massa chusetts, who was sent home trom New Orleans, then came forwerd and made a long, ram speech about hie visit to Louisiana, the annexation of Texue, slavery, dec. ‘ .

A second reading of the resolutions was then asked for, and while Mr Hussey wes employed therein, Mr. Goodrich, of Roxbury, requested te to give way fore moment, while he submitted a motion. . Mr. Goopricu then moved that the farther read- ing be dispens:d with, and the resolutions laid on the table. The metion was supported by the gen- leman in some remarks, in the course of which be took occasion to say, that the opinion of Masea- chusetts upon the Seuth Carolina outrage eh« uld be expressed by some higher voice than this Con- vention Mr. Hussey “would like to ask the gentleman where he would lock for a higher voice?” (Great laughter, and cries of “question, question.”) A motion wes then made to adjourn to 8 o'clock this afternoon, and voied down. The question wes then taken on laying the resolutions on the table, and it was done by a large majority. 8. E. Sewatt, Erq., of Roxbury, the abolition candidate for Governor, then moved a vole of thanks to the President forthe able and dignified manner in which he had discharged the duties of the chair. The motion was adopted, and Judge Witttams responded in a brief acknowledgment for the vote. A member then suggesied that the members in favor of passing the resolu'ions had better remain after the Convention had dissolved, and vote them through. _ On motion of Mr. Cup, the officers of the meet- ing were authorized to print the proceedings of the Convenjion in pamphlet form and in the news- papers, and to attach the names of the officers to the publication. Mr. Garrison arose and expressed his perfect satisfaction with the proceedings of the conven- ‘ion, and declared that they would be regarded with honor by posterity, as the bold expreseion of the people of Massachusetts against the curse of helding human beings in bondage. But he was sorry to hear from Mr. Sprague, of Duxbury, a de- claration that propositions had been made in the senvention to dissolve the Union. He believed (13 was not the fact; and that the propositions merely proposed to declare that the Union would be dissolved by the annexetion of Texas. He re- quested Mr. Sprague to correct the statement, so vat “wicked editors” might uot make such a charge and then quote Mr. Sprague as authority. Mr. Spraaus did not heed the call, and the con- vention then dissoived, at halt-past two P, M. Manvuractures 1n Massacuusetts.—We have slready mentioned that a company of Boston capi- talists” have secured a tract of territory for two niles along both the banks of the Merrimack at Andover, where they contemplate the establis! nent of manufactures, on a large scale. A peti- ion headed by Samue! Lawrence, was presented ja the House of Representatives on Saturday, for iseorporation for manufacturing purposes, and to vuild a dam across the Merrimack river, about seven miles below Lowell. Perhaps it wil! be well tor .the people in this vicinity to inquire how much <his will interfere with their supplies of timber and wrod down the Merrimac.— his will perhaps be the germ of another city simi- ‘ar in its character to Lowell, and is an additional reason for the building of a railroad from Newbury- port to Georgetown, which will ultimately give the nost Convenient point of access for this embryo ity to the seaboard. At the point where the dam is ‘o be mace, it is stated a fall of 25 feet can be obtain- ed, and the fall at Lowell is only 31 feet. Thus the whole of the Merrimack together with the Concord river and several other streams which fall iato the Merrimack, below the dam at Pawtucket Falls at \owell, will be again used. The company for the »onstruction of the dam and creation of the power, vill employ a cepitalof halfa million of dollars, and seyenter into this undertaking, becauge they say rat nearly all the water power in this State has een taken up, and the copitalists of Boston have !1eonsequence of this, invested largely in Nashua snd Manchester, N.

It was thought that the recent Pre- dential election would check enterprises of this ature, but it does not appear to, though probably vad the reselt been different, the onward movement would have been more extensive. As itis, new mills re going up in every favorable situation. The ad- i008 to the mills at Lowell have been very large se past year, and also at Saco and Manchester.— Besides the new mills which have gone into ope- ration at Lowell very recently, we jearo that the Prescott Company, at Lowell, which have just aced in operation a very large mill, larger we be- eve than any other in the country, have petitioned for an ipereese of capital, in order to erect a new mull, in which looms are to be placed ; the inotive the water power there is ex- vausted.
