We find, in a recent number of the organ
of the New York Anti-slavery Society, reso-
lutions adopted by the Anti-slavery Society
of New Jersey, the first of which, adopted
unanimously, is as follows:


ssResolred, That the erecutire committee
be directed to nominate a delegate or delegates
from this society to attend the conference OF
.4nti-slarery delegates, TO be held in London,
Great Britain, on the 18th Of June, 1S40."


Union with Great Britain, and delega-
ton to aid in the avowed designs of that coun-
try against the institutions of this, is the first
object.


The next proposes to give effect to Mr..
Adams's prediction in relation to the disease
of slavery, that ssthc Union mast fall before 1t,
or 1t before the Union;'' or, in other words,
that the Constitution must be surrendered to
the Abolitionists, or the Union be dissolved.
The Abolitionists predicate their demand upon
the state of facts thus summed up in these re-
solutions:


sResolrcd, That the Federal ratio of re-
presentation, by which every five slaves are
counted as three freemen, is unjust and un-
equal, inasmuch as it gives to property hold
ers of a certain description an influence in
our national councils to which they have no
claim. The whole number of Represent
atives is at present 242. The slave States of
Delaware, Maryland, Virgin North Caro-
lima, South Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Missouri, and Arkansas, with a free popula-
ton of 3,S23, ,3S9, have 100 members. Were
the representation of their property in slaves
not allowed, they would have only Is MEM
bers. The other States, with population of
1908, ,451, or nearly double, have only 142
members. The slave interest is therefore re-
presented by 25 members more than their
| equal proportion, or more than one-tenth of
the whole representation. In the election of
President, the slave States have l26 votes,
whereas their proportion, according to their
free population, is only SO. Ohio, with a
population of 947, COO, has 19 votes. Vir-
ginia, with free population of 100000, has
two votes more. Pennsylvania has 80 votes,
while the States of South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Ken
lucky, with an aggregate free population Of
lS9,79l less, have SO votes for President"
And this is the state of things which dele
gates are sent to Great Brita in to complain of,
and which the influence, and probably the
power, of that country, is to be called in to
remedy!!


Extract from a letter from j. @. adams,


dated Quincy, October ~, 1888, to a COM


n.ittee appointed to inform, HIM Of his
,ni1sation as a candidate to the 26th Con-
gress.


regret that 1 am not enabled to indulge
with equal confidence the hope that the right
of petition and the freedom of debate, smoth-
cred as they have been for nearly three years
in the legislative halls of the nation, will be
restored in all their plenitude and all their
purity. Slavery shrinks, and will shrink,
from the eye of the day. Northern subser-
viency to Southern dictation is the price paid
by a Northern Administration for Southern
support. The people of the North will sup
port by their sufiages the men who have
truekled to Southern domination-and their
Representatives have not been shamed out of
the distinction between refusing to receive
and refusing to read petition. 1 bcliere it
is impossible that this total subrersion of every
principle of liberty should be much longer
submitted to BY the people Of the free States Of
fhi. Union. But their fate is in their own
hands. If they choose to be represented by
,lares," they will find serviIity enough to re-
present and betray them. have seen with
pleasure that even among the most devoted
supporters of the present Administration, there
have been here and there one, who refused to
sacrifice his own rights, and those efhis con-
stituents, to the shrine of party idolatry.


These, however, have been solitary excep-
tons. The spirit of true freedom is not yet
