A Convention of Anti-Nebraska K litors is called at Huntingdon for the PUh inst. We regret that '-Court Wc V will detain us, but hope to learn that those who meet may agree upon measures that shall tend to consolidate the Anti-Nebraska strength next fall, and the aggressions of Slavery be thereby cheeked. To do this, many if us must yield, r waive for the time, stu b minor differences as would hinder a perfect union. In times of danger, Christians are wont to forget all denominational peculiar ities to subordinate the minor to greater interests. During the tiying era of '70, a Lundred lesser matters were forgotten in the great struggle to secure Constitutional .Liberty. lien that victory was won, a Constitution wis r. rfe,-teJ, under which ' the foreign s .t.v.i,l,. . .l.r.-r,! t.. 1 riracv, Slavery itself was by silence barely tolerated as a sectional institution, and by gent creatures, renders him capable of kind and forgiving Father, he will meet the first Congrss was indeed abolished in expl ring new truths in the fathomless1 Him as a stern but just Judge, who will all the (then) slave territory u n th-west of depths of learning, makes him the beauty award him according to the exact retribu te Ohio. i'f the world and the companion of angels. , i"n of his folly ; while he who Las em Times have indeed changed.

Through this party, the Slave Oligarchy composed of a few thousand active and resolute men rule the Nation, and some of the nominal Free States. The next Presidential Elec tion will iu a mea-ure decide whether this odius Oligarchy und- r the id oak of " Na tional Democracy" shall extend Slavery indefinitely, or whether we shall be truly a Hcpublic, and like our fathers favor Liber ty aud oppose Slavery.

Our State must assert her right to protect the liberty of her own citizens against every agent of the Slave Oligarchy, and prohib it, at once and for ever, all Slavery upon ber soil. Strange as it may scm, nine out of ten of those who have fl.-d from tho despo tisms of the Old World, have enlisted in the rauks of the Slave Oligarchy in the New. America has been made the recep taclo of the alms-houses and prisons of c'u , Europe. Far the greater proportion of our paupers am! criminals, are ahen-boru.
