We received some days siuce copy
of the Constitution of the Ant-Aboition
Society Of Cincinnati. There is every
reason to believe that the association will
soon become large and influential, and
that it will soon be able TO accomplish
much good, in counteracting the efioIts Of
incendiaries in that region. We give be-
