The Liberator

NEW ENGLAND ANTI-SLAVERY CONVENTION.
This Convention began its sessions in Boylston Hall on Tuesday morning last. The Hall was filled at an early hour. Edmund Quincy, Esq., presided over its deliberations.
The exercises were commenced by singing a hymn, in which the entire assembly joined.
Wendell Phillips, from the Business Committee, presented some resolutions, drawn with surpassing ability. These were read and accepted by the Convention; and the first one, relating to the conduct of the city authorities in refusing the use of Faneuil Hall to the abolitionists, was ably discussed by W. L. Garrison, Wendell Phillips, Parker Pillsbury, and S. S. Foster. The discussion took a somewhat wide range, and included all things relating to the Sims case, and the comparative anti-slavery feeling in the city and country. After a spirited discussion, the Convention adjourned till afternoon.
In the afternoon, the house was crowded to its utmost capacity. S. S. Foster resumed the discussion of the forenoon session, and Messrs. Phillips, Burleigh, Rev. Mr. Foster, of Concord, Garrison, and H. C. Wright, spoke upon the subject. The speeches were all very able and effective, and the audience were much interested in the discussion.
In the evening, the meeting was held in Cochituate Hall. It was crowded to overflowing to hear George Thompson.
Rev. S. J. May, of Syracuse, N. Y., gave an interesting statement of the progress of the cause in Central and Western New York.
George Thompson then rose amid the enthusiastic applause of the assembly, and gave them a grand address of about an hour and a half. He concluded his remarks about 10 o'clock, and the meeting adjourned, to meet on Wednesday morning, at Boylston Hall.
We shall give, in the next Liberator, a full sketch of the doings and of speeches made at the Convention.
