but secure respect Thus has anti-slave-
ry at length taken possession of the last
county east of Byram river. Although
the meeting was held in the very building
in which the disgracetul explosion of gun
powder was made fortnight before, yet
not the slightest disturbance or alarm took
place. We trust it was the last kick Of
the pro-slavery mob demon in New Eng
land. The damage done by the explosion
was less than was al first supposed. The
timbers have been brought to their places,
and as soon as they are fastened and the
windows placed, and little joiner work
done, it will be tenantable again. The
congregation to whom the house belongs
show not the least disposition to abandon
either their own right of free discussion or
their sympathy for the suffering slave
The convention consisted mostly of SUBJ
stantial members ofthe different churches
in the county-such men as every devoted
pastor loves to have for his supporters and
co-workers in all that is good. But few
ministers, Of any denomination, were pres
ent. Itwould have been gratifying 10 meet
more OF them. The numerous ties of
trade, of manufacture, of visiting and fam
! lily connexion, which subsis,s between
Fairfield Co. and the South, and the mon.
strons misrepresentation which have pre-.
vailed respecting the certain effects OF
emancipation, have greatly retarded our
cause in Fairfield county. But West In
dla light is removing many prejudices,
and we confidently anticipate rapid prog.
ress for the youngest of the anti-savery
sisterhood in New England .-Eman.

A public meeting has been called by the

For the purpose of bearing their tes-
tlmony atresh against that mischievous
and unrighteous association, the Ameri.
can Colonization Society. the deadliest foe
OF the colored race, and the main prop OF
the dIabolical slave system; and also to
express their righteous Indignation in
view OF the recent attempts of r. r. Cur
ley, the artful and impIacabe agent Of
that Society, to excite new interest in the
colonization scheme in this region"
That is right, and ought to be done by
the colored people universally. Let them
get up memorials, signed by every color

states, praying the colonizers 10 cease
their prosecuting operations. -Eman.
