SPECIAL MEETING OF THE SOCIETY.

At special meeting of the Executive Con-
mittee of the american Anti-Slavery Society,
December 18th, 1889, the situation of the Socie-
tvs finances being under considerations it was
"REsoLvED, That a special meeting of the
American Anti-Savery Society be held in the
city of New York, on WEDNESDAY, THE
FIFTEENTH DAY OF JANUARY next, to
provide means for carrying on the operations of
the Society.
"REsoLvED, That J. Leavitt J. S. Gibbons
and S. E. Cornish, be committee of arrange
ments for the Special Meeting"
In promulgating the above CALL the Com
mittee of Arrangements would merely observe,
that the Executive Committee have been constran-
ed TO the adoption of this measure by emergen-
cies from which they have been able to see no
other way of escape The great scarcity Of mon
ey throughout the whole country prevents the
spontaneous transmission Of donations to our
treasury, without personal application. while the
arrangements with the State Societies, precludes
us from The employment Of AGENTS to make that
personal application to our members, which, when
we could make it, hasnever failed TO afford US re-
lief
Under these circumstances, we invite all the
members of the Society, including the officers Of
all Auxiliary Societies, and delegates from Auxil-
iaries, to meet in the city of New York, on We'd
nesday, JANUARY FIFTEENTH, at 10 o.
clock, A. M. "to provide means for carrying on
the operations Of the Society,""

ards, to 60 for third party, should be regarded as
schsmatics.
The anti-slavery enterprise was commenced as
one strictly moral and religious 1t never con-
templated the extinction of any religious sect or
political party as necessary for its success, because
it found in the doctrines of every sect and party
enough, if practically carried out, TO ensure the
overthrow of slavery-the one great object it has
ever had in view. 1t is just as easy to prove that
it is the duty of abolitionists to form a new re-
gious sect, as to organize distinct political party.
And we ask, suppose such proposition should
be urged upon them, because it is lawful, and be-
cause they are pledged to do all that is lawfully
in their power what would be the inevitable con-
sequence? What but chickering's and divisions,
beyond all hope of ultimate reconciliation and
united cooperation To insist upon having riva!
political party must be attended with the same
evil effects, experience is daily demonstrating.
Have we been dreaming for the last ten years,
in believing that around the abolition standard, all
existing sects and parties might rally in perfect
unity, without giving up any of their distinctive
pecuarities Have we been cherishing deu-
sion in supposng that so long as the duty of i'm
mediate and unconditional emancipation is ack
nowledged, and the inherent sinfulness of slave
holding maintained, by any of our fellow-citizens,
they are entitled to an honorable position upon
the anti-savery platform, no matter what may be
their scruples of conscience respecting the Church
or the State, or their views on any other question:
Is it indeed true, that there is not, cannot be, and
never was designed TO be, common bond of
union by which people of every tribe, cline and
color under heaven might be inspired to labor to-
gether for the extinction of system of oppression
for its enormty? So it would seem.
if what we hear from the lips of some who have
stood conspicuous in our ranks, be true. But it
is not true-we have neither been dreaming, nor
cherishng delusiol.-anti-slavery is one and
indvisble,' though complex and multudinous.

Notwithstanding the storm | lcctured on slavery

me, of $4,39, and also, $1,000 from the congre-
cation of Tuesday evening, forwhich they will, all,
please accept my thanks.
While at Randolph, heard the following an
ecdotes.
THE GOLD sPECTACLEs.
Heman -, Congregational minister, who
went from the North to Georgia, some years ago.
and married widow with several hundred slaves,
was on a visit to his native town. DR.. -, a
brother of Heman, is thorough going abolition
list. The DR.. gave Heman no rest, but piled him
thoroughly with anti-savery truth, At last, He
man took off pair Of gold spccacles, and told
the DR.. if he would let him alone and say no
more to him about slavery he would give him
the spectacles. The DR.. replied that he did not
know but he had said about all he wished to say,
and so he concluded to take them. Shortly after
the Dr's anti-slavery fire broke out anew. Stop,
stop" said Hcman, did you not agree to say no
more to me on that subject, if would give you
the gold spectacles Here" rejoined the Dr.,
take your spectacles again. MUST have the priv
ilege of talking to you on slavery.
THE HARDEST NAME.
A foreigner, not long since from the land Of
O'Connell, passing along the road in Randolph, |
was overtaken by General -, who courteously
invited the stranger to ride with him. The in
vitation accepted, the General asked his name.
F." Jenny Clarke" was the reply. "And what
might call your name 2" said Jenny. "Think
of the hardest thing in the world, and that is my
name" said the General. Said Jenny, 81 can
think of nothing harder than s1auery, and sure,

There were 232 votes-l1S necessary to a
choce,-and Mr.. Hunter having ll9, was cleo
ted. Mr. Fl. received the votes of the Wings
and State Right Opposition members.
TUESDAY, Dec. II.
This morning. after Mr.. Hunter had delivered
his address, Mr.. Dromgooe moved that the rules
and orders of the last House be adopted for this,
Mentioning as a reason for this measure, that in
the process of swearing in the members of the
House, questions might arise, which would re-
quire motions and discussions, and produce
much embarrassment to the House and young
Speaker, without rules. OF course he alluded
to the Jersey question Mr.. Lewis Williams
moved te lay Mr. Dromgooles motion on the ia
BILE Il the vote was, yeas ZIG, nays lisa tie. 1t
was queer enough that the first question taken
in the House, after the election of Speaker,
should require the casting vote, and especially
SO that this should be party question, ii in fact
was. The Speaker voted with the Opposition,
and the motion was laid on the table.
The members were then called by states and
qualified. When New Jersey was called, Mr..
Randolph did not answer to his name, because
his colleagues were not called But after the 9TH
er states had been called, Mr.. Randolph came
forward, accompanied by Aycrigg, Maxwell,
Stratton, Yorke and Halstcad, and presented
lliclllseNCs W Ue SWOlu'
The Speaker said to them, Gentlemen, will
qualify Mr.. Randolph if he peases, but cannot
administer the oath to you, until the House shall
so order. | must submit the question 10 the
House" The five duly commissioned men acted
very we'll on the occasion. They made no COM
plant, and Mr. Yorke replied that it remained
with Mr.. Randolph to say, whether he would be
sworn or not, or something to that effect, Mr.,
Randolph accordingly, kissed the book and the
Speaker resuming the Chair informed the
House, that in the process OF the oath of office, a
difficulty had arisen which he would submit to
the House. Five gentlemen claimed to be mem
bers from New Jersey, and being legally certified
and commissioned as such, had presented them
selves to be sworn. Had the question been for
the first time presented the Chair would, without
hesitation, have administered the oath to them,
but as the House had previously determined that
they would not admit these gentlemen to seats,
he would therefore submit the question to the
House.
Mr.. Wise, after Some remarks upon the form Of
the proposition, by which the claim of these gen.
tlemen was before prevented, but which was lost
by tie vote, and that he would adopt different
form, and one which would throw upon the other
side the responsibility of rejecting these gentle
