THE VOICE OF FREEDOM
For the Voice of Freedom.
Mr. Editor:
I would not trouble you with a long account of
our proceedings on July 4th, but will request that
a part of the resolutions passed may be published
in your paper, as they may lend some who
halting between two opinions to decide, and act in
view of that day when the secrets of every heart
shall be disclosed, and the actions of men shall be
placed in their true light before an assembled uni
verse.
1. Resolved, That the children of slaves ought
to follow the condition of their fathers; and that
their fathers, which are not so, ought to be free.
Proposed by Rev. B. B. Cutler, of Essex.
2. That the question of political action deserves
our serious consideration, and that every consci
entious man should duly consider, whether it be
not as wrong to support slavery by his vote, as by
any other means.
3. That we approve of the conduct of the Stale
of Maine in refusing to deliver up her own citi
zens to be tried by slave laws, when demanded by
the State of Georgia.
4 That the citizens of each State, whatever
thek- color or circumstances, are entitled to all the
privileges and immunities of citizens in the sev
eral states ; and that all laws in the slave states,
which Infringe upon these rights, are a flagrant
violation of the Constitution, and should be resist
ed by the free states.
5. That if the slave states will not consent to
give up slavery, measures should be taken so to
amend the Constitution of the U. S. that the citi
zens of the free states shall not be liable to be call
ed out to suppress any slave insurrection, and thus
be compelled to fight for slavery, and destroy those
who are contending for their inalienable rights.
0. That in this day of light on American slave
ry, the following pertinent remarks ol Solomon
the wise, should come home to every hcart.i " If
thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto
death, and those that are ready to bo slain ;
thou sayest, behold, we know it not; doth not
he that pondcreth thy heart consider it ? and he
that keepeth thy soul, doth not he know it ? and
shall not he render to every man according to his
works f"
7. That in the creat day, when God shall ludge
the world in righteousness, the humble, believing
slave, who is now ;despised, will be more likely
to be brought forward as the representative of Je
sus Christ, than the learned D. D. or the popular
leader of any political party. " Then shall the
King say unto those on his left hand, In as much
is ye did it not unto the least of these my breth
ren, ye did it not unto me." Math. 25: 41 15.

The Slave Trade.
Mr. Knapp :
In the last Emancipator, you have doubtless
seen the astounding disclosures of the article from
Mr. Buxton's work on the Slave Trade, as well as
the paragraphs from southern papers, urging the
advantages of an open trade with Africa, in the ar
ticle of human cattle. These articles suggest the
inquiry to colonizationists, as to how long the
crcdii of their society, for efficiency in destroying
the slave trade, will be sustained in the light of
such disclosures ? ' I do not think that this socie
ty will ever prove itself an adequate remedy for
slavery,' say some of the dupes of its hypocrisy,
'but then, its influence in suppressing the slave
trade must commend colonization to the patronage
of every foe to human suffering. But Mr. Bux
ton has told us what that influence is, or rather
what it is not. The slave trade is now prosecuted
to a greater extent, and with more attendant cruel
ties than ever before ; and this too, against the
potent influence and opposition of the British na
vy. And some of the men whom misanthropy has
expatriated from the land of their birth, through
the instrumentality of the colonization society, are
returned in irons to the shambles of christian slave
markets.
It is of but little consequence to the slave tra
ders whether they make up their cargoes of the
cofllcs from the interior, or from the towns on the
coast of Africa; and if the slave-holding princi
ples, which now menace and defy the civilized
world, must finally prevail, the day is not distant
when Monrovia will become a good depot of this
trade in human blood.
Let it not be supposed, that the inhabitants of Li
beria will have any instinctive horrors at such a
traffic, from the remembrance of their former ser
vitude. If slavery is such a blessing to its victims,
as is pretended by some of our acute logicians, in
bringing them under the influence of Christianity,
surely to kidnap the ignorant heathen from the in
terior and transport them to this country, where
hey can be converted and saved under the tender
mercies of the lash, where humane blood-hounds
keep their vigils around the borders of the Pit, to
keepout those who'neverha ving heard of a Saviour
would otherwise plunge nuwarily into the burning
gulph, would be worthy the hearts of philanthro
pists. But to leave this irony for sober truth, there
is a strange and almost unaccountable imconsis
itency in man, developed in his forgetfulness of the
motives and feelings which controled him in one
.condition in life, when he chances to be removed
to another. Is thy servant a dog that he should
do this thing V is the language in sacred history
of one in humble station to the prophet who fore
told his future elevation, and the cruelties of which
he would afterwards be guilty. As one has ele
gantly remarked, ' the soul of Ilazael kindled at
that time at the imputation of cruelty ;' but he
, proved himself in the sequel that perfect model
of inhumanity and crime which the prophet had
presented for his contemplation, when he came to
act in the capacity of King of Syria. It is asserted,
and doubtless with truth, that the slave driver who
is elevated from among the gang to 'lord it over
his fellows in bondage, is among the most cruel
and relentless of his class, and this too, when per
haps but ad ay has passed since he himself groaned
under the pitiless tortures of his task-master.
It j3 not rnerely among the victims of degrading
tondage, that human nature has manifested such
perversity: but among the intelligent fatlicrs of
New England, the refugee from persecution be
came the inveterate persecutor, nnd martyrs breath
ed out their dying groans in the presence of this
heathen wilderness, to commend with the elo
quence of blood, the religion of the whits man to
the poor benighted Indians.
Such inconsistencies are accounted for.only from
the influence of prcvoiling systems of philosophy
and morals over the human mind. The charac
ter of nrevailinr philosophy writes its features in
light or darkness on the face of the moral heavens,
and is too often the darkening cloud where is ac
cumulated the elements of the direful storms, which
shower calamities on the heads of its blinded vic
tims. Philosophy has a power that arms cannot
conquer, and when it accommodates its precepts
to the passions of depraved man, in justifying
wickedness and sin, it is the convoy that shields
his pirate heart from the lacerations of public scorn
or of the slings of an accusing conscience. It is
this prostitution of philosophy, that light of the in
tellectual world, which Paul refers to, under the
designation of spiritual wickedness in high places.
The spirit of slavery holds philosophy in pros
titution to the vilest passions of the human
heart. And in this enlightened age philosophy
thus prostituted, seeks against the influence of the
gospel, to establish its despotism over the nations
ol the earth.
The reason why efforts to abolish the slave trade
have proved futile and unsuccessful is, that philan
thropists have been occupied in the consideration
of some specific evils, while they have neglected
to pour in light and truth into the public con
science, to pacily the spirit ol the age irom uie
pollutioirvciling darkness of slave-holding philos
ophy. As the editor of the Emancipator well ob
serves, ' the British government instead of declar
ing the slave trade piracy, should have extended
its denunciations to slavery, and thus have laid
the axe at the root of the tree.'
The laws against the slave trade, though their
oriflfin was with the purest pnnantnropisis oi trie
last age, have proved themselves, but mere tem
porizing expedients witn tne spirit oi lniquuy.
And the result is such as may always be expected,
when we merely attempt to curb the influence of
an evil, which it is in our power to destroy. We
may give a different direction to its current of death,
hut we do not decrease tne malignity oi us pol
luting poison, nor diminish the number of its vic
tims.
The colonization scheme, which ' does not pre
sume to interfere with the subject of slavery,' is a
lower grade of the same species of truckling to the
spirit of oppression. Among the opponents of the
slave, trade in the old world there were individuals
who could declare slavery a sin, and the withhold'
ing of freedom from the slave the most detestable
species of robbery. But the colonization society
neither declares nor patronizes such a doctrine
It leaves thb slavery justifying philosophy in the
full might of its darkening power. Leave the
work of emancipation to colonizationists and the
horrors of slavery will not only continue to darken
our southern borders, but will spread their wither
ing blast over the fair face of our northern land'
scapes. The ' gan g' and the ' quartet,' the whip.
ping post, and the cat o'nine tails, will become
the common appendages of the Eew-Endglander's
home; and the slave driver and blood-hounds will
make up apart of,his domestic establishment. Nay,
more, Old England herself will sink from the light
ot her liberal political principles, and her pure and
diffusive philanthropy into the bigotry of the darl
aces, tier ships tinea witn manacles lor human
victims will again sail triumphant from her shores.
Her church will again yield to the rnan-stealer the
boon ot her prayers, and the British ' Lion will
present terrors to the poor African far more dread
ful than the land of his native jungles. Alas, for
poor Liberia, if colonization influence is to be left
to swell its current till it floods the civilized world.
The poor man who has been in his old age se
duced from the land of his birth, and tempted a
cross the boisterous deep, that he1 rriight find a
3uiet grave for his bones and a home for his chil
ren, may see all that he holds dear on earth torn
. J t .111.. i r a . r
Irom him and carried bacK to tne scene oi nis sui-
forings and his tears, to supply the increased
demand for slaves that will have arisen & will be
prefercd under the countenance of colonization-
ism.
But thank God, this dark picture which is the
only rational prospect, that can be had in the prem
ises, will never be realized. The principles of
human liberty and equality of right, have not yet
been lost to the world, and there are those who
dare to assert them even to the sacrifice of inter
est, reputation and life. We thank God that he
has raised up a set of men in these last days, who
have not feared to beard the lion in his den in at
tacking the principles of slavery, and in bringing
the light of the gospel to reflect its enormities.
Abolitionists have commenced the work aright, in
directing their efforts to the reason and intelli
gence of the nation, and with truth for their weap
on and the zeal of martyrs to stimulate their ef
forts, they must certainly triumph, when the de
mand for slaves will no longer exist, and the
slave trade will die a natural death. It is under
the guardianship of these principles that Liberia
will, alone, find her safety. These principles a
mong her sons will alone deter them from partici
pating in the slave trade, and these principles
controlling the civilized world, will alone secure
her coasts against the visits of the slaver and her
people from its captivity. We rejoice that we
have it in our power to impart these principles
which are as a weapon of defence in the heart of
their possessor a safe-guard in the day of evil,
even to the poor exiles of Liberia. And while we
assure them that they are not forgotten in our
prayers, we hope to sec the day, when the wicked
prejudice which has driven from our shores, will
be changed to benevolence and kindness, when
their Ostracism will be abrogated and we can
welcome them to the land of their chidhood, be
come truly the land of freedom when their re
quest as they come to the fountains and groves
where the pastime of their early years was pass
ed in a temporary respite from servitude ; to live"
and die there, to read heaven-inspired instruction
from the graves of their kindred, can be granted
I had almost said that we hoped they might real
ize their instinctive desires in being finally gath
ered to the sepulchre of their fathers, but I was
forgetting myself for the moment. Where are
their fathers' graves? and what dear remembrance
can come to the heart of the emancipated slave,
that is not coupled with images of, soul-chilling
horrors?

Montpelicr, July 11, 1S39.
Conventions in New York.
The last Emancipator contains a very interest
ing letter from Mr. Stanton, giving a sketch of the
proceedings of two large and important Conven
tions, recently held in the state of New York
the first at Auburn, Cayuga Co. and the last at
Washington Village, Washington Co. We would
gladly copy the letter in full, but we must content
ourselves with making a few extracts.
The Auburn Cpnvuntion assembled on the 19ih
ult.; and continued its session three days. Mr.
S. says :
The counties of Cayuga, Madison, Onondaga,
Oswego, and Wayne, were well represented, and
good delegations were present from Oneida, Yates,
Ontario, Monroe, and some other counties. The
morning session was chiefly spent in organizing.
The afternoon was occupied in discussing the es
sential sinfulness of slavery. The time was con
sumed by Messrs. W. L. Chaplain, Asa Rand,
James C. Fuller, and myself. A large audience
was evidently much interested. In the evening,
the house was crowded. The deep responsibility
of the abolitionists at the present crisis Was the
subject under consideration. Gerrit Smith, Esq.,
made a strong appeal to the Convention for great
er sacrifices by prayer, testimonies, and contribu
tions, if they would hope for the peaceful termina
tion of slavery. 1 followed in the same train of
remark. The assembly did not disperse till past
IU 0 C10C1C.
Thursday forenoon, Was taken up wiili a d
bate On political action. Jt took a wide range,
being thoroughly discussed pro and con. Many
obiections, both 1 wlutr and 'democratic, were
stated, and received anti-slavery answers. Mr,
Thomas, a lawyer of Courtlandville, suggested th
difficulty of ' political necessity,' and was replied
to by Mr. Smith, and James C ruller. Janie
Brown, Esq., an able lawyer, made a fine speech
his abolition debut. Ihis was the first Ann
Slavery Convention he had ever attended. S
months since, he commenced the reading ol our
leading publications a prejudiced opponent. Af
ter a thorough investigation, he came fully out on
our ground, united with the society, and is now
engaged in discussing the subject through the
columns of two newspapers of adverse politics in
Oswego sounty. He is a valuable acquisition to
our cause. I think he sides with the democratic
party. Will not other gentlemen of the legal
profession, like him follow the example of Job
the cause which I knew not I searched out V
the afternoon, the subject of ' peuniarn action came
up. About $-100 were subscribed to the State
Society, much of it paid on the spot.) It should
be remembered that the counties represented, hav
ing been thoroughly canvassed with the permanent
quarterly subscription, most of the delegates had
contributed on that plan. Besides the money
subscribed, about eighty dollars worth of publica
tions was disposed of. In the evening a full
house listened to a noble speech from Gerrit Smith
on the duty of aiding fugitive slaves in their es'
cape. Colonization standimr next on the docket,
it fell to me to spend an hour in stripping of its ' be
nevolent foliage this leprous shoot from the soi
of human depravity. I have no doubt that while
my rude, ungloved manner gratified all my colored
hearers, it offended some oi the uncolored. I lie
elite of Auburn are aristocratic, and of course
feel for ' bleeding Africa,' and love her ' descen
ants' 4000 miles off! Mr. Smith seconded
my assault in a few pointed and vigorous sallies.
Friday morning, the discussion on political ac
tion was resumed. Rev. Mr. Hopkins of Auburn
dissented from some of the positions taken by
the prececding speakers on the orthodox side
His speech was in good temper, and was thought
to have been fully answered by Kev. Messrs. Kand
Davis and others. During the debate, Judge
Brewster took occasion to express his regrets at
having voted for Mr. Seward last fall as did
some other influential gentlemen. A strong res
olution against Van Buren and Clay called out an
able speech from Elias Manchester, Esq., of Scip
10, a gentleman who has been honored with the
suffrages of his fellow citizens of Cayuga. The
resolution was unanimously adopted. The poli
ticians may rest assured that many leading politi
cal men who voted for Messrs. Seward and Mar-
cy at the autumnal election, will part with their
right hand before it shall drop a bollot for Clay or
Van tturen. Especially is this the case with
thousands oi ' whig abolitionists.' jjunng my
tour, I have made extensive inquiries and am ful
ly pursuaded, that Mr. Clay's wicked pro-slavery
speech has lost him the Empire state.
Mr. btanton gives a very lively account ol his
journey from Auburn to the northeastern part of
the State, through Schcnectaday and Saratoga ;
but for the want of room we must omit. The
Eastern Convention met on the 26 ult. and con
tinued in session two days, ihe hrst clay was
occupied with discussions on the sinfulness of
slavery, political action, &c. &c, in which Messrs.
Smith, Colver, Lee, Stanton and Leavitt parlici
pated. On the afternoon of the second day, the
subject of funds was brought forward. Mr. Stanton
says :
1 he scene was very animating and amusing,
Gerrit Smith presided at the counter. During the
occasion, several drafts on him were presented, and
read to the audience. 1 give the substance ol
them.
To Gerrit Smith :
" Please pay to Spencer Kellornr, Treasurer of
the New York State Ami-Slavery Society, two
hundred dollars, on our account.
(Signed) The Slaves of the
South." '
Another
Accepted!" said Mr. Smith
ran
something like the following:
" To Gerrit Sjiith :
Please to pay Spencer
KelWg,
Treasurer of
the New York State Anti-Slavery
Society, two
hundred dollars, on our account, provided the So
ciety will cease to call us ' men-stealurs.'
(signed) " Ihe slaveholders.
" Not accepted ! promptly responded Mr. bmitli.
Another was like this :
To Gerrit Smith :
Please pay to Spencer Kellogg, &c. ice, two
hundred dollars, on my account.
(Signed) Ihe Lible, alias the Boole which
declares, that " God made of one
blood all nations of men."'
'Accepted!' with all my heart said Mr. S.
One draft of S'200, from the 'Declaration of Inde
pendence ; alias, the document which declare
that "all men are created equal, and another of
the like sum from, 'the fugitive slaves,' were pre
sented at different times, and immediately 'accept
ed.' Others of a different character were presented.
I give a specimen.
lo Gerrit Smith:
'Please pay to Spencer Kellogg, Treasurer of
the New York Anti-Slavery Society, luo hund
red dollars, and charge to usr on condition that
abolitionists cease to apply the doctrine of imme
diate repentance to the sin of slave.holding.
(Signed) Ihe Pko-Slaveuy Divines of the
North.
'Not accepted !' was the reply. Another draft
of $200 was presented from 'the Politicians,' 'on
condition that the abolitionists would cense to urge
the duty of remembering the slaves at the polls.'
This, with one or two others of a like genus,
were immediately protested. During all this time!
smaller sums were coming in from mem, women,
and children. Alter consuming an hour or more
in this way the columns were footed, and the a-
mount ascertained to be about $1100. The au
dience was generally large, and made up of the
best citizens of the county of Washington, and its
vicinity. The inhabitants of the beautiful and
flourishing village where we met, liberally illus
trated the Christian virtue of hospitality.
Friday morning (yestnrday) brother Williams
and myself were indebted to the kindnes? of a
venerable soldier of the Revolution, for bringing
us on our way towards Albany lo take the eve
ning boat for New York. Our patriarchal guide,
82 years old, drove his carriage with the skill and
energy of a man of 25. As we ranged along the
banks, of the Hudson under the shallow of ' Be-
mus Heights,' where the decisive battle between
Gates a Durgoyiie was fought, we passed an old
storm-beaten house, near the river. 'That,' said
the old veteran, ' is the house in which General
F razor died, after he was shot upon the hill yon
der.' The sight of this relic of the olden lime touch
ed a sympathetic cord in the bosom of our ancient
friend, and on he went discoursing of the Revolu
tion, and telling stories of Washington, Burgoyno,
Green, (his namesake and relative) Lord Percy,
and other chieftains known to fame. He was
well acquainted with Col. Barton who performed
the perilous exploit of capturing the British com
mander, Prescott, on Rhode Island, ami gave many
anecdotes of hiiri. For two years and nine
months, Mr. Green was a prisoner on the Island,
under the charge of the Hessians. He Was com
pelled to do the menial work of the camp, was
robbed of all his property, subjected to great cru
elties, and twice came near loosing his life. Af
ter detailing with much feeling a long series of
the wrongs he had endured, he suddenly paused
and turning to us, said, with great encgy : ' But,
what is all that compared with slavery? Noth
ing less than nothing! The slaves suffer daily
more than we endured during the whole war
and without hope!' The old man illustrated the
strength of his faith, by travelling twenty or thirty
miles in the rain to attend an Anti-Slavery Con
vention. Till recently, he lias been the President
of the Anti-Slavery Society in this town. No
ble branch of a noble trunk green and fruitful in
its age.
Rev. Mr. Ronton,
At third service, on Sunday, in the old North
Church, and from the pulpit delivcied an address,
fraught with the . solemn and self-evident truths of
anti-slavery. The venerable old meeting house
was filled from the several congregations in the
village, whose meetings were suspended, and most
of the clergymen were present. It was to us a
deeply interesting; occasion The vast multitude
the declining sun throwing athwart the ancient
building its somlcring light ; the dispersed con
gregations, which formely met for Worship there,
gathered together seeing " tie places" of many,
whom they will meet no more " in temples made
with hands." And it was a bold thing in the
preacher to talk against slave-holding there as
daring a deed almost as Warren's when he spoke
revolution, before the British officers in the Bos
ton, Old South. Pro-slavery lay spread out be
fore him, in all its imposing and formidable vane
ties. The preacher's own church and people
