THE ANNIVERSARIES.

THE ANNIVERSARIES.
 We have occupied considerable share of our pa per this week with summary account of the annual meeting of several of the most important religious so- ceties of our country. Wemake no apology for so doing. because believe that to the christian and philanthropist, no reading can be interesting than that which relates the dissemination of pure bible religion. That the societies, whose annversa- ries are here recorded, are admirably calculated to accomplish this objectis fact generally acceded to require single argument from pen on the sub- ject. We would cheerfully give more enlarged ac- count of the anniversary of the New-Iork Sabbath School Union, which we witnessed, were we capable of doing any thing like justice to the scene there ex- hbited An immense concourse of men isat al! times interesting spectacle and that interest IS increased in proportion to the importance of the purposes for which the assembage has come together. But see zen thousand cjrem-the future guardians of our 'b- critics and invaluable privileges-under the direction their religious teachers, and to hear their infant songs of praise that glorious being who took t tie children into his arms and blessed them." is cacu lated to excite emotions which can only be feIt-they cannot be described. Surely the nfde and the scep tc could they be induced to look upon such a scene, despair ofever being able to overthrow that cause which is thus enIisng the hearts of these thousands of young immortals. In the different Sunday Schools in NewYork, there areeprobably more than l5,0OO children receiving the benefit ofreigious instuc- tion. This opens cheering prospect to that great, and in an alarming degree, corrupt city. Here is pledge that thousands of the generation will be lovers and practcels that which is goods and that tbo ;nA, l;0 knuv and encouraging the practice of virtue.
 Our readers will rejolce at the evidence given at these late meetings that the cause of benevolence IS rapidly gaming a stronger and deeper hold upon the affections of the church; that notwithstanding the many streams in which their charities required to flow, each of them is annually presenting broad and deeper channel-no one has been suffered to Ianguish for want of means. While the Bible Soce- ty has been enabled to enlarge greatly its operations, the Tract Society has its additional thousands of little "winged messengers of salvation ;"-an in- creased number of Domestic Missionaries have been sent brethren in the wilderness, to tell the scattered and dispersed ofthe "plgrms," of the {" way of life' which their fathers highly pri zed and suffered so much to enjoy, while the for educating these living witnesses and preparing them for usefulness in the church, have been ncreas ed in an equal ratio And all this foo without dimn- shng from any other charity, or mpovershng any class or portion of community. The other religious societies in our land have been sgnaly blessed, ,and their labors remarkably owned by the great Head ofthe Church.
 This is indeed religious subject; but It is one that is deeply interesting to the patriot well to the Christian. To the Christian religion, in it's purity,we owe our unexampled prosperity nation. Itisthis which has given many literary civil, and social privileges and it is perpetuate this stone of national virtue which alone secure national hap piness that these societies are instituted As such they appeal to the best feelings of every individual in country for countenance and support, and every anniversary for them thatthey do not appeal in vain.

 person who signs himself Allen Landon and dates his epstle "CaDaan be that the place his resudenCe," requests us to " "post his wife and children in tie way that they will be expence too him for bord and no outher way" We suspest that Alien Landon has left his wife and children emp ty "hord,' and wishes to prevent their repIenshng it at his cost, they have right to do, his credit will warrant such procedure. We can't make out a suitable "posting from his letter, although he sures us we shall be C satsfide :" for our labor.
