Great Meeting at the City Hall.

| On the evening OF the 18th INST, meet
ing of citizens was held at the City Hall,
in reference to the Imprisonment of Chas
r. Iorrey. Al an early hour the hall
was well filled. Nathan Crosby, ESD,
was called to the Chair, and J. G.. Whit
tier appointed Secretary. The Chairman
opened the meeting with some pertinent
remarks, and read an extract from the late
letter of Torrey to the Salem Convention.
Resolutions were then presented, when
The Chairman called upon Hon. G. L.
Knapp, of Vermont, who made brieI
but excellent speech. He vindicated the
Constitution from the charge of sustaining
slavery and cited the case of Judge Har-
! rington, of Vermont, who, when the slave
hunter came before him TO claim his hu-
man property, declared that no other proof
would satisfy him that the black man
was a slave, than "a bill Of sale from the
Almighty.' He concluded by urging the
friends OF Freedom to put forth all their
energies, not only for the relief of Torrey,
but for the salvation of the slaves of the
South and the liberties Of the North He
would have public opinion thunder at the
gale-pos;s Of Torrey's prison as Ethan
Allen did at those of Fort Ticonderoga,
when in reply to the demand Of the COM
lnandant as to his authority for SO doing,
he exclaimed, In the name of the Great
Jehovah, and the Continental Congress !
| George Bradbur@, Esq, Of Nantucket,
then took the floor, in speech Of great
power and thrilling earnestness. He
spoke in indignant and burning words of
the apathy which pervaded the great mass
Of our citizens Of all parties in religion
and politics in reference TO the case of
their imprisoned fellow cilizen, and com
meuted upon the declaration of Henry
CLAW that Legislation had sanctioned and
SaactiGed negro slaves as property The
large audience listened with deep interest
until after 10 o'clock, frequently interrupt
ing the speakers with bursts Of applause.
AT the close of the meeting, motion was
made 10 adjourn for one week, which was
carried unanimously. We trust there
will be large and enthusiastic meeting.
