The abolitionists have lately held a sort of national convention at Allegheny City, I’a. and agreed upon a memorial to Congress for an amendment to the Constitution by which Jesus Christ shall be declared the Son of God and Saviour of Mankind, aftd some other doctrines of their religious creed inset ted in the fundamental law. While the great body of the American people believe in these doctrines as a religions creed, there are many who do not.
