the Treysiyan Temperas, Hotel, Manchester, at the in.
vitation of the executive of the Union sad Emancipation
Society, to " milebrate the paring of the antialsery
amendment of the United Stake Constitution."
Mr. BARIUM, one of the honorary secretaries, reed a re-
port, of whirr we make extracts :—" Sias 1863 upwards of
300 public meetings have been held, besides Mother meet-
ings for general and special business ; and about 566,000
documents, tracts, pamphlet; and books have been par
Belied and circulated throughout the kingdom. The
strength of the parent esciety has been consolidated by the
formationof about 50 auxiliary societies, which the seen-
five have found soarer of musks stirrers, enabling them
to opine into close contort with the surrounding districts, of
which the auxiliaries formed the mares, and being alio the
best mesas whereby the works of the association could be die-
triltuted, oorrespoodesce maintaised, end the pascal utility
of its agencies promoted. The executive have the satis-
faction of stating that the efforts of curtain members in
both houses of parliament to oblate from this country a
recognition or iatervention on behalf of the alaveholdere
proposed empire have signally filled, and they believe that
the unsay memorials presented by them against sorb P
Sties have bad some share is effecting such results.M
executive cannot but appreciate the friendly manes in
which Anglo-American questions in the critical times of the
shahs have been diseased by the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affair; Earl Roesill, and the United States
minister, the Hon. Charles Francis Adams ; and they feel
it a duty to express the opinion that the firm bat °oscilla-
tory mode by which the United States legation has fulfilled
Its difficult and important miser°, together with the
high character of the minister, and the personal esteem
entertained towards himself ad his 'Moist secretary,
have manly oontributed to that amity between the two
satiate whian happily is sow so well sad firmly
' established. The eremitic* have presented coopetulatory
address to the American peopled.ne their Presides;
Arabs= Lincoln, on the peat tram they ashieved on
the Bth November, when they the nation should
live and the people should be free ; else on mineral other
occasions, when the event justified the executive in speaking
to them on your behalf. An addrese was also presented to
General Garibaldi, as a true friend to liberty, who in
reopoose thereto expressed his emphatic approval of and
sympathy with the object' this association sought to WIWI.
Orb. In conclusion, the executive desire to =eke a sprig
e tion of the munificent docatiose of ha,
rbyetretr president, Thomas Bayley Potter, ~ for which,
in addition to his large enbeeription, they_ reined their
thanks, and trust that he will continue to ell his honour-
able position until the labours of the executive saes to be
requited."
Mr. J. H. EATCOURT moved the follewieg resolution
"That this meeting, in receiving the nursery of the re-
port of the Lillis and Emasoipasis Society, joyfully rests-
SIMS the fact of the adoption by the Cowen ditto USW
Stake of an amendment to the Federal ocarMtvition for the
abolition and prohibition of slavery throughout the Unica,
believing that, ere long, every loyal state will approve and
ratify that wise and just reasintioo, thereby Ankles the
death blow to the slave power by removing from the
republic the virus of model corruption and political an-
tagoaism which has been the sours of sectional strife and
national disaster."
