Abolition Convention in Philadelphia.

The second day's proceedings, as reported in the Public Ledger, exhibited a considerable diversity of sentiment, some openly proclaiming disunion, and others insisting that the anti-slavery society of Pennsylvania contemplate no such object as a dissolution of the union. Speakers were limited first to fifteen, and then to five minutes, in their addresses; but we presume that it was found difficult to restrict Miss Abby Kelley within such narrow bounds, for she is the orator of the convention, par excellence. We really wish that these deluded people would make themselves acquainted with the condition of the slaves in Maryland, by personal inspection; for we think that they would return with the conviction, that our slaves are not in that degraded and pitiable situation to require their compassion and interference. Their sympathies might, with more propriety, be attracted to the free people of color, who have not a tenth of the comforts enjoyed by slaves.
