vermont ANTt-SLAvERY SoclETY.-The
Third Annual Meeting, held according to
previous notice, was one of great interest
The impression made on cur community !
was deep and salutary, and must be lasting. !
II is just what might have been anticipated.
There is large amount of republicanism
and conscientiousness in our citizens which
only needed the opportunity now enjoyed,
in order to the development now manifest
A large proportion of the intelligence and
moral worth of this vicinity are now fully
enlisted in behalf of Truth, Justice, HUI
mainly and impartial Liberty. The opposi-
ton is dead.
The sin Of slavery was held forth con-
stantly, and the remedy too plainly pointed
out not to address itself 10 the conscience
and common sense Of all.
We have only room to-day for the Secre-
tary's journal Of the proceedings. In fu-
ture numbers we shall give letters, sketches
Of speeches, and extracts from the Report.
