ous preceding parochial and district anti-slavery meetings,
was very great, the numbers Wag only limited by the
capacity of the building. Mr. W. 1VII•LIAM0. pre.
sided, and was supported by his eellearie in the regimen ca-
tion of the borough, Mr. Bonitos, M.P.
Mr. DOULTON, M.P., believed that the feeling in favour
or the South, and the desire for the separation of the
North from the South which existed in this coantry, arose I
from as impremion that our own material iatemets mere I
