I suppose we have passed our time most
pleasantly and usefiiy.
had never enjoyed an opportunity of
meeting brother Weld before. although I
had long wished to do so. He is q truly
fine man, and fully meets my high raised
expectations. His mind is absorbed in the
great work to which he has consecrated
his life. lie is emphatically n self made
man, possesses great activity, energy, and
decision of character. His conversational
powers are excellent, and those who have
heard him as public speaker, pronounce
him one of the first orators in our country.
am happy to learn that he proposes visit
ing Boston before long. l am sure the
friends of emancipation will be reioiced to
see him, and listen to his eloquence. God
grant that his useful life and health may be
prolonged, till the glorious contest in which
lie is engaged, has been consummated by
victory.
The information that has been commu-
nicated to me since left home, in regard
to the aniisavery cause, is in the highest
degree encouraging. Our principles are
spreading and taking deep root in all parts
of the free States. The people are fast
coming to the rescue. From the cities and
large towns we have nothing to hope, and
upon them we ought to spend but little of
our labor but in the country, among the
honest and independent yeomdnry we have
every thing TO expect. They will and do
look at the subject as it is, without that
spirit of calculating selfshness, and fawn-
ing obsequiousness which so generally pre-
vail in our cities and larger towns.
The American Anii-Slavery Society are
greatly in want of efficient Lecturers, and
have immediate and pressing calls for near
fifty.
Persons well qualified for such work
ought Immediately to be reported to Mr.
Weld, who has the general superintendence
of engaging Agents and Lecturers. Tho
harvest is great, the laborers few. Never
was there so pressing demand for all the
moral and intellectual energies Of the
friends of humanity in every department
of enterprise, as at this moment and eve
cry person, is bound to do what he can to
advance the great system of operations
designed to emancipate, enighten and bless
mankind.
Yours truly, A. w.

our free institutions; and are, therefore. en-
titled only to the detestation of every true
friend of his country.
Resolved, That the important results
consequent upon the coming election, ought
to induce lis to throw aside personal and
local prejudices-bury the Ratchet, and
unite on those measures which may best
conduce TO the general interests of the
cause in which we are engaged.
Resolved, That we approve of that de-
mocracy which is known by deeds rather
than words, and which is in favor of ex-
tending to all classes the benefits of free
government, rightly administered.
On motion, adjourned TO Friday evening,

From the N. Evening Post.

The Cincinnati meeting, in the conclud-
ing resolution offered by Wilson NJ Brown,
and adopted with the rest, declare in so
many words, that if they cannot put down
the abolition press by fair means they will
do it by foul if they cannot 81 ence it by
remonstrance, they will silence il by vio-
lence If they cannot persuade il TO desist,
they will stir up mobs against il; inflame
them to madness, and turn their brutal
rage against the dwellings, the property,
the persons, the lives of the wretched abo-
ltionsts and their families. In announcing
hat they will put them down by force all
this is included. Fire, robbery, bloodshcd,
are the common excuses of an enraged
mob. There is no extreme of cruelty and
destruction to which in the drunkenness
and deerium of its fury itmay not proceed.
The connections of the elements can as
easily be appeased by appeals to the quail
ty of mercy az these connections Of the hui
man mind; the whirlwind and the light
ming might as well be expected to pause
and turn aside to spare the helpless and in
noccnt, as ar infatuated multitude.
If the abolitionss must be put down, md
if the community are Of that opinion, there
is no necessity of violence to effect the OBJ
lect. The community have the power in
their own hands; the majority may make
n law declaring the discussion of slavery in
certain manner 10 be crime, and impos-
ing penalties. The law may then he put
in force against the offenders, and their
mouths may be gagged in due form, and
with all the solemnitics of Justice.
What is the reason this is not done p
rI1Io o,os mar ic ronhv Tho community ara
for leaving the liberty of the press unlram-
be raised in any of the State Legislatures
north of the Potomac who will report in
favor of imposing penalties on those who
declaim against slavery; there is not a
legislature who would sanction such re-
port; and there is not single free state the
people of which would sustain legislature
in so doing. These are facts, and the ad-
vocates of mob law know them TO be so.
Who then are the :nen that issue this in
vitation to silence the press by violence
Who hut an insolent, brawling minority, n
few noisy fanatics, who claim that their
own opinions all he the measure of
freedom for the rest of the community, and
who undertake to Overawe n vast pacific
majority by threats of wanton outrage and
plumber? These men are for erecting an
oligarchy of their own, and riding rough
shod over the people and The peoples rights.
They claim n right to repeal the laws ts'nh-
Iished by the majority in favor of the free
dom OF the press. They make new laws OF
their own, to which they require that the
rest of the community shall subInit--and in
case of refusal, they threaten to execute
them by the ministry of mob. There is
no tyranny or oppression exercised in any
part Of the world, more absolute or more
