Mr Anderson4renango, moved for
a reconsideration of the vote by which
the resolution inviting a convention of
the opponents of slavery throughout
the State at Harrisburg, was Lost.
Mr. Mann spoke in favor of the mo
tion. He thought the passage of such
a resolution as that referred to would
result in much good to the anti-slavery
cause throughout the State and he
would therefore vote for a reconsid
eration.
Mr. Robb was opposed to any such
convention asthatproposed, bethought

_Dr. Gazzain spoke at some length
against the reconsideration of the vote.
He was of the opinion that a conven

.Mr. Mitchell,
_lndiana, was in favor
of a reconsideration.
Mr: Clark, Lawrence, spoke in favor
of the proposed convention ; he was
itr favor of the measure, it would have
the effect of uniting. the enemies of
slavery - and of sending anti-slavery
members to Congresa, a step towards
which nothing had been done by the
convention.
The motion was debated at consid
erable length and finally lost •by a vote
of riiue ayes r to twenty-two nays.
Mr. Mann rncvcd that the State
Committee of last season he reap

The. following resolutions were of
fered by Mr. Mann and adopted :
Resolved, That the prohibition of
Slavery North of 36 deg. 30 min. was
part of a compromise which never
should have been made—but that
compromhe having been made, and
the part of it favorable to Slavery hav-'
inrr been substantially executed, it is
a;di , gracerul to the Slave interest to
demand the repeal of the part favor
able to freedom, as it is to Northern
doughfa.ce3 to yield to that demand,
and as it will be to all Northern free
men if they acquiesce in its repeal.
Resolved, That the eleven Pennsyl
vania allies of Slavery in Congres-,
who nave Ctr.tp
and sought to dishonor, their constitu-'
eats by the repeal of the Missouri
prohibition of Slavery, ought to re
ceive the hearty contempt of all true
Americans who believe the Declara
tion of Independence was adopted in
good faith, and not as a a rhetorical
flourish ; and we hereby pledge our-.
selves to use our utmost exertions
to bring about union • and harmony
amongst true men .of all parties. for
the defeat of all such men.
On motion, a resolution of thanks to
the officers of the convention passed,
after which the convention adjourned
