A Quarterly Meeting of the Plymouth County
Anti Slavery Society, was held at bingham, Mass
on the 4th inst. Among the orators who hourished
on that occasion was Lunsfurd Lane. well known
here, and a runaway slave under the disguised
name of Douglas A fact is asserted in the pro-
ceedings of this Convention, which is bitterly de-
MED by the "whigs" in the South, which is, that
"many aholitionists at the last election abandoned
their principles and instrumental in placing at
the head Of this nation SLdreholder,' by which
the doctrine is re-asserted that no slave holder
shall be President Of the United States with their
consent. Nor with the consent of southern ''whigs''
either, if they continue the they have here
tofcre pursued. The Convention declared that the
balance of power is in the hands Of the abolition
lists in Massachusetts and if they true 10 their
principles the Offices will be filled by aboltionists,
without the aid Of the third political party. The
Democratic Republicans, have, however, reduced

fig for the Resolves of the "whig" Legislature OF
Massachusetts, so long as large majority of the
States are Democratic Republican, and true to the
country and The constitution. Wherever the
''whigs" have obtained power, in the States they
have done all the mischief they could this DIS

this matter.


The matter of raising funds for Lunsford Lane
to purchase his family was discussed. We are
not told how the subject ended, but guess the col
Iections on the occasion lacked 'bucket" full of
being sufficient for the purpose.
