session. He alluded TO bis own suspension
from privileges with the church. Mr.. Par
ker. (Pastor of that church) took the hint
and replied. Said he, (after permission
was given) / did object to having my pull
Dit desecrated by having the anniversary Of
the Anti-Slavery Society held here. For
was fearful Mr.. Tappan would make allu-
sions in slanderous manner to the action
of the Church. And, said he, Mr. Tappan
has accused me Of being the murderer of
Lovejoy. Yet that accusation was not bro't
as charge against him by myself or the
Church before his suspension In conclu-
sion he said he exceedingly regretted con-
senting at all to have that anniversary held
there. Probably the whole audience tho't
he spoke the truth. Whether Mr.. Tappan
has been to blame in the church affair, is
not for me to say. should think that the
reply of Mr.. Parker would be OF no spec
cial benefit to himself or to those opposed
to abolition.
While Mr.. Tappan had the floor, he re-
lated the case Of lad or two that were
stolen-taken to Tennessee and sold FIVE
times, and at last gave as present to an
other person. A young lad, (apparently
about II years of age,) was present who
had been saved by the interposilion of Mr..
Joshua Coffin, of Philadelphia This lad
was taken by craft from free state-carri-

learned the faet-went Immediately there
crossed the woods fifty or one hundred
miles on foot, 10 steamboat landing-bro'l
the boy home with him, and sat by his side
while Mr.. Tappan related the anecdote. i,
was truly affecting 10 see the boy, also to
see his benefactor by his side, while the
facts relating to his abduction-his being
transferred from one to another, and his res.
cue, were being told by Mr.. Tappan. The
9Th and last speaker was Mr.. Nathaniel
ColVer. He, you are aware, is powerful
man on that subject. The audience had
been sitting long time, (about A hours, J
when he began. But many persons gave
good attention while he spoke-others left
| the house. Mr.. Colver labored under a
great disadvantage, being the last one to &C.
cupy the floor. Had he been the first 70
speak he would have been heard with ca
gerness by all. He spoke 10 the point, and

Well, it was pretty much so to day. Some
OF our folks espied lot of women taking
seats in convention, which caused them inn
medlately to prophesy that we should have

on the manner in which the list of dele
gates should be made out. There was no
disagreement as to appointing committee

was the question. You are aware that fe-
male Anti-SlaVery Societies exist which are
auxiliary to the Parent Society, and that the
Constitution of that Society allows all per-
