" a v .XTI-ABOLITION CONVENTION OF i t PENNSYLVANIA.

' The committee to prepare and present: 1 jr the consideration of the Convention, an ! v ddrcss and resolutions expressive of its f ?ijso, by John K. Katie, Esq , the Chair. I c mil thereof, reported the following, which !r ere read and adopted. The cautious wisdom which distinguished j1 ic lramers of the Constitution of Hie U. ! 1 rates, is strikingly manifested in the re- j. -rvc with which that instrument alludes 1 > the existence of domestic servitude among j * s. Although the topic was necessarily t resented !o their view, and exerted an I nportant influence on several articles ofp ic compact, the term slave or slavery no ! here occurs. The apponionmeut of representatives | ( ntl of direct axes, is required to be made a ccording to the population of the States ? jspectivelv, of adding to the whole number j f free persons, including those bound to I =rv;ce for a term of years, and excluding | h iidinus not taxed, three fifths of all other j s >rsons. The migration or importation ofjt rich persons as any of the States should j <link proper to admit, is not to be prohib- j ed bv Congress [x*;or to the year ISOS. 11 vii -n;; *?<_?! 1 t'"1 !"lh?r 0!"

"fl.lv this carefully varied but clear phrase- 1 >!gy, it was sought to protect the interes's of he slave-holding States, and to secure the < ight of the master io the services of his I f I lave. Congress was vested with power to j irohibit the introduction of slaves after the ; ear 1808; but in all other respects, the; ubject of slavery was included in the gene- j al reservation of powers not delegated, and vas left to the unrestricted action of each State within its own limits. Such are the articles of the Constitution rhicii relate to slavery within the United j hates, fully recognizing its existence, and j [uarding against any legislation which might ; berate an absconding slave. When it is remembered bow many con- | licting interests, and bow many various hub- 1 i * ;s of thought and life were reconciled by lie spirit of mutual concession as embodied i this contract, no argument should be re. uircd to enforce all its provisions, and to sscue Jis principles Irom violation. Nor can it be necessary to demonstrate I > the candid and the lionorable, that the.' lint of ibis compact is opposed to measures 1 y which the right ir recognizes are disturbed | i their exercise, or impaired in their secu- j ty. Principles cannot sanction an indi- ct inierfcrence with relations which are ius formally vindicated and established. Slavery existed in the District of Colum- j ia at the time of its cession to the United i tates, and the rights growing out of this I ireumstancc have recently been made the j jbject of highly excited discussion. It is j ot, however, necessary, in the judgment of | lis Convention, to enquire how far those < . ? 1 k.. ,1.? ! ijilis illL J.H l?V litv lvll?K? Ui l.U. onstitution. It is enough, that whether !< O ' ) pro ccted or not, they ought in no wise to 1 2 effected by anyact of legislation. Were | iren the power of Congress unquestionably, s action on the subject is forbidden by con- < derations of the highest policy. Such it is believed are now tiie views and minions of the people of Pennsylvania?a { late which, acting tor itself, has within its tvn borders treated slavery as an evil, both i the abstract and in practice, and it is | > >r the single purpose of expressing them ? lut this Convention has been assembled. .1 s members have been chosen at meetings h jrltl without distinction of party in the sev- Jg al counties of the State, and most of them g ive been specially charged by the language d f their commission to "assure our breth. s m of the Sou;hern States, that we, as a b tale, are opposed to the schemes of the ( iimediate abolitionists, and that we wilL n i the utmost of our ability defend and sus-l a tin the Constitution of the United States b id that compact bv which we are unitctj tl s one people/5 f Sensible of the importance of declaring g ankly and accurately the general senti tl tent of Pennsylvania on this subject, the o onvention, after lull consultation, has adopt g I, in the name of its constituents, the follow- o g resolutions : )i} Resolved, That the Government of thq| it nitcd States has no constitutional powei tc hateverover the relation of master anu u ave, in any of the States of the Union. tl Resolved, That, whether Congress docs tl * does not possess the right of legislating tl i the subject of the Abolition of Slavery a itliiu the Distinct of Columbia, it would tc j unwise and impolitic in the extreme, to u ssert or exercise such right; as any attempt o do so would impair the harmony and mu- si tal confidence of the States, if not peril the nr tegriiy of the Union. b Resolved, That each State has the ex- o usive right under the Constitution, to judge la \, establish, and maintain within its borders, i * own system of domestic relations and >; omestic policy; and that every attempt by I le citizens of one State to denounce or in. i allidate the established institutions of an. 1 thcr, is unwarranted by the Constitution, ; nd hostile to the peace and harmony of the i Inion. j Resolved, That no State could be justly \ aquired to reorganize as valid, under the i oustitutional compact of the States, a measre which should violate its internal sccuityanfl peace, or abrogate the rights of ! roperty of its citizens; and that we pledge urselves to unite with the people of the ther States, in opposing such infractions of mc Constitution, and in maintaining the domestic repose of every member of this con ^deration. ? Rcsalvcd, That the project of colonizing in the coast of Africa, free persons of color nd manuniitted slaves, to be carried thither with their own consent, does not hold out to he patriot and philanthropists, the hope of! lie ultimate abolition ol slavery, the ele. ation of the African race to a state of iquality with the rest of the human family, he extension of the blessings of civilization j aid self-government, and the diffusion of lie principles of the Sacred Gospel of Peace vithin that benighted region; and that the i raise worthy efforts of the colinization so nctics, to bring about the most desirable \ esults,are entitled to the best wishes and j1 he hearty co-operation of all the fr.cnds of ; lie peace, order, harmony and integrity of : he lTnic?n of these States.

Perilous Adcenturc.?Ollapod, in the ' Knickerbocker lor April, records the fob ' j, owing episode in his trip to Washington : ; c " Baltimore, like Boston, is a city of ups j t tnd downs.
