THE AyTI-SLAvERY MEETING at Faneuil
Hall. Sunday evening, was fully attended,
and like most of the meetings of the party
which convened it was full of spirit and en-
thusiasm. The Hall was filled at an early
hour, many ladies being in the galleries, to-
gether with people of color of both sexes.
Samuel Sewell was appointed chairman.
| There were however, many present who had
no sympathy with the objects of the meeting,
and who rcsorted to Kisses, shouts and yells,
with a determination to drown the voices of
the speakers, and break in upon the proceed
ings. They were successful, and at 5 O'Clock
the meeting was d perfect chaos
About half past nine o'clock the meeting
was broken up. The persons who assem-
bled for purposes of noise and disturbance
| carried the day.-The mob was triumphant.
The blaokguards and rowdies, whose strang
conceptions ofthe legacies of freedom led
them TO suppose that Faneuil Hall was des-
ecrated when negro was permitted tospeak
within its walls, hal their own way, al
though they werein vast minority. No in
| suit however, was offered % the females on
leaving the Hall and if nothing was attained
! by the meeting, on account of the obtrusion OF
! those who were unfriendly to its objects still
the assembly dispersed in quietness, without
father molestation from the mob which had
broken up its discussions.
! The whole affair, from beginning to end,
was disgrace to the city of Boston. The
Mayor and aldermen gave the use the Hall
TO certain number of citizens for a certain
purpose, & those citizens ought to have been
protected in their rights. The proceedings
were interrupted and the speakers denied a
hearing by those who had no interest in the
Meeting-by persons who, if they could not
come peaceably to the Hall, should not have
been there at all.-Prcvidence Journal.

The Locos AND PRoTEcrIoY.-A great
Wing meeting was recently held at Lowell
! at which Hon. Charles Hudson one of the
most valuable members of Congress, simply
because he is plain straitforward, weI-in-
formeI and patriotic man, made 81 C .cE of
two hours in en9th-in which he took occa-
sion to prove that Notwithstanding the abuse
heaped upon the last Congress by the minons
of Tyler, it did more work and passed more
important bills than any proceeding Congress
since the adoption of the Constitution. He
spoke also of the reasons which induced
some of the Loco-Focos 10 vote for Pro-
;ective Tariff, which finally passed, for which
they are so loudly landed by those whose
rule of action is hostility to the Wings. He
says:--
Ten ofihose Loco Foco votes came from
Pcnnsy lyauia, and some ofthem Free Ii ade
men. They argued thus: We shall have
the power in the next Congress; the country
Is III debt; IA Protective Tariff is unpopular.
we VIII vote TO pass this Tariff under pro-
test, (and most ofthose who voted for it sta.
ted expressly thai they disliked the bill, and
voted Tor 1t against their own feelings,) and
when we come into power ire tciH take from
At IT'S prefecture character. These were the
arguments used and the motives which nron-
pied many of those twenty-five Loco. Focos
TO vote for that bill kno,r r. s,id Mr.
Hudson, for HEARD THEM SAY sol,
The cry of Repeal was thus raised even
before the Bill wss passed-and has been re-
repeatedly echoed since What then has
Protection TO hope from a locofoco Congress.

THEsCLOsING SCENE. OF COLTS TRI
AL-THE VERDICT. -

The closing scene of this extraordinary dra-
ma, exceeded ininterest every other act of1it
The Jury went about,six at night: and remained
out ten hours. During that time large mob
collected around the City Hall, and knots and
groups of persons assembled all about the Park,
discussing the probable verdict, and all the
facts in the case. Hour after hour passed by,
and the interest increased. All sorts of rumors
were affoat as to the position of the Jurors, and
the scenes in the Jury Room. The officers lis
tened at the key-hole and reported progress, and
lit spread like wildfre through the crowd, that
the Jury stood seven for murder, three for
manslaughter, and two for excusable homicide.
Then, after discussing it an hour, they stood
seven3or murder, and FIVE for .manslaughter.-
Then they discussedit another hour, they stood
ten to two; and there they seemed likely to
stand. There were, in. short, all sorts of rl-
mors about the vote in the jury room, but no.
thing certain. =
In the mean time the Judge. had returned,
waited till midnight, and then gone back home.
Groups of anxious persons fingered about the
Court room. The prisoner tired and worn out
gave way to the impulses5of nature, laid down
on bench, threw handkerchief over his face,
and slept soundly while, the Jury were deciding
the fate of his existence. The time-the place
---the circumstances-the solemn stiffness OF
the night. all combined t. form scene not easi-
ly forgotten. ~
At last when the verdict was agreed upon
the Judge was sent for, and it was soon whis-
pered about that it was fatal The prisoner was
awoke, and his countenance fell. The Judge
and Jury at last faced each other for the last
time-the prisoner was told to look on the Jury.
and when to the words "IIow say you gentle
men?" of the Clerk, the words "Guilty of Muir
der'' fell from the lips of the Foreman, Colt ap-
peared horror stricken, His counsel, Mr.. Nor
rill, ordered the Jury polled, and as they answer

heart almost died within him. Morrill, then ap-

morning at ten O'clock, to hear Them Colt was

: Now comes, then. the most exciting part of
the drama; will he be hung-or will new
triad be granted! will the Governor dare to-
pardon him! We think not. The verdict seems
to give general satisfaction. The public have
had their eye on Colt from the time Of his arrest
till this hour; and had the verdict not been "mur-
der" we don't know what would have been the
