Techenor, of Alabama, souiitted a report and address up on the wject of :ffordinrg religions instrue. ion to tihe colored pop)ulation of the South, te enucouragemnen tof day schools among them, ard tihe education of colored preachers by thle Baptist pastors. T1his report clicited some discussion, but it was the unanimous senlti met of the CoTlven:tion that the former mas ters of the slaves were their proper instruc tors, and that BaptLists, above all others, hould actively and energetically exert ther selves in tihe matter. Messrs. Mcintosh, of Alabamua, and Pomn dexter, of Virginia, alluded to the ab.surd pre judice existing against teaching .the blacks. Tey could see no degradationl in it. 1)r.. Crawford, of Georgetowna College, spoke of the laws formerly existing in Georgia, pro hbiting even owners to teach their slaves. ie an:1 his children had violated the law, for it was a law apinst Gcd. The report was adoted without oppositon. A preamble and resolution defining the on'mon of the cannon upon the sulject of re i'irus liber'ty, was in tr'oduce.l by, A. P. Wil liams> of Missouri. It reasserts the great car ija' an d fun darnen tal p'rinrci ples of Baptist fihwich have ever been in an tagonism to pe'rsecion f>r coniscience' saue. Th"e declaration of opinion gpre rise to a diessi on of very. general interest. The Mis snuiri del rentes were opposed to any p'er sonna alluions5 t~o themiselves er the peu ion tey have uniidergne and are no 'w suil1erl g. Ilut the Convention preferred to express its sympathiy wi th its Missonri brethiren and its detestationl of the "despotism"' that prevails there. Speeches were made by Dr. Fuller, of B:i tjimore, and Dr. Burrows, of Rliuod., Pr. Filler gave his pernail experience in the rmidst of civ I w: a.d how lie hadl obeyedl tihe laws of tile Um tedl Sates, not fur paitr iotisml, but for religion, having stated this to the au thorities at Woiiington when he was threat eied with imoisonmenCrt. IDri. Burrows, of Richmond, staited that he had nothing to repent of in what hec had said, or though t, 0or done, during the past iVe years and that to no mranl livmg~ wvould he ever make ac'knowledgmencuts, or ask pardon of any but tle Lord of all. Professor Boyce, of South Carolina, who w as, for mrothls~fterhis State seceded, a warm Unionist, but nfterwtards a stafl' officer, spoke upon the subtject of soul liberty. It was, he said, Bib,le doctrine, as well as Bait ist doc ti ne, and should be reassertcJ arnd reinstated by the Conven tion. This liscuission gave oc casion to the most spirited debates of the ses sio. and there was eviden tly much feeling on tre imiportant gnestion of mriilitary arid civil interference wvith religZinas affairs. The Con vention will not adjourn before to-morrow eve The General Association of the Kentucky Baptists met this morning in tire .Methodist Church.
