Anniversaries Yesterday.

Ihe ADoltlonlsts gave themselves ful play yester-
day, and their antics made up the chief feature OF the
days proceedings We give interesting sketches of
their meetings, both in the forenoon and evening,
which will be read with interest by al classes OF
readers.
In agreeable contrast however, 10 the melancholy
exhibition of human extravaganza and weakness az
forded by the Aboltionsts, have the pleasing
celebration of the Sabbath School Society This is
one Of the few associations whose anniversaries are
celebrated about these days. which really deserves
the sympathy, admiration and love of all intelligent
friends of virtue and religion. The Sabbath Schools
of America are among its nobest and most valuable
institutions. Like the gentle dews of heaven, their
genial influence descends in peace and silence all
over the land, and almost imperceptbly its blessed
results scattered far and wide In this CITY i'm
mense numbers poor miserable, neglected little
csss are collected together instructed and clothed by
the nunihcent, but simple fundamentally of the Sun
day School. Devoted women, whose hearts have in
deed been warmed by the charity that cometh down
from heaven, are the chief laborers in this great
field OF Christian exerton, and in their own quiet,
unostenatous way, they arc, Sabbath after Sabbath,
sfiecting an amount of practical good which cannot
be calculated They are, in truth, doing more than
the pulpit itself TO advance the cause of true rel-
gion and the best interests of the human race. We
~ often, whilst sectarlan bgotry a cold and pro-
dess dogmatc theology is laundering from the pulpit
Of the church, the humble Sabbath School teacher in
the basement blow is to be found rcdeemng the sane
tuary from the indignant rebuke of heaven, by do
ing its work; and therefore record with the
greatest satisfaction, the continued and growing
prosperity of the Sunday School Society, and most
heartily bid it God-specd in it's pure and elevated
career.
The abolition fanatics are, ii will be seen, more
noisy, vrulent, vindictive and unreasonable than
ever. Nothing appears likely to satisfy them
but dissolution Of the Union. To effect that
they bend all their energies And nothing dis
covers moro inteligibly the hypocrisy and hollow
heaedness Of these men, than the ruthless violence
with which they assail the integrity of the Union.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS country--all are as no.
thing in the eyes Of these fanatics, when compared
with their own selfish and designing movements
Look at the intempcrance, the violence, the basphe
mies--the ruthless denunciatons of all that is dear
to the christian the patriot, which characterize
these abolition meetings, and then Judge of the
claims Of these men to the name of philanhropists.
The poison thus seems TO carry with il the antdote.
AL men of sobriety and intelligence turn aside in
cism
The meeting Of the National Refomers," re-
port Of which we also give in this days paper, pre-
cents many interesting points. 1t will be that
ant-renusm entered largely into the proceedings-
That spirit of rebellion against the law, had, indeed,
good right to be represented in the assembly Of
the new reformers, for by them il has been most af
fectionatey sustained The first steps in the reform
Of society, according to these philosophers, should
be the distribution of the public lands to all who
without land-as soon as possible an abolition of
all rents-a general Reputation of all leases and
title deedsa perfect restoration far respects
individual rights to land water, of that primitive
social organization which prevailed when
wild in woods the noble savage ran"
II is, however, curious to remark, by what a mise
rable faction, after all, these Standardization
and national reform'-are supported A few thou
sands are all they can muster-men, women, chill
dren and cattle. They do not much as raise a
ripple the great tide Of practical and sound
intelligence, which year after year sweeps over the
land The crowd, as it rushes on, pauses occasion
ally to be amused by the capers and vagaries of
these fanatics, knaves fools, the may be,
but the great social movement never for a moment
ceases TO be conducted with common sense and sa-
gacity. The great work Of civilization and social
progress really suffers from these Interrupt
tons, than does the business of mighty city from
the noisy conflicts of Punch and Judy.
MANAGERS HALE AND HAMBLIS AeAIN.-Mana-
mayer Hale is out upon Manager HambIin in ano-
Their very fierce article in yesterdays Journal of
Commerce. Even in the very midst of his annual
harvest, and when his corn and wine most abound,
the soul of David cannot find moments repose in
consequence of his pestilent rival, who has now
squatted resolutey at the very next door to the
Tabernacle. Manager Hale avows that if some
stop be not Immediately put to the proceedings Of
Manager Hambin, Broadway will be irretrievably
ruined.
The truth is, that plous David in arguing the case
as he now does, on 'specniary considerations" has
fairly let the cat out of the bag. He has long pos
eeesed the monopoly of Snowman in Broadway
ALI sorts OF shows-holy and profane-Dandy jim
of Caroline and the Christian Parson Cheever-
Professor Cotton and his gas, and Mar Johannan
and his beard--have been exhibited at the Tabema-
Gle, and now that Manager Hambln comes and sits
down cheek-by,jow at the side of David for the
purpose of erecting another Tabernacle, the con-
science OF the latter IS at once prcked with terri
bic sense of the woe that is coming upon Broadway
and all the region roundabout. Hence his vehement
denunciaton Of poor Manager Hamblin, which he
very chariably windsu with the consolatory words
of the sevitor of the Jew to the gentle Jessica-
Therefore be of good cheer; for truly, think
you are damnd."
Why does not Manager IIamblin at once come out
with rejoinder We TO see this matter fairly
discussed between these eminent showmen. Amen,
the righteous and the wicked, the loafer and the
godlydisposed would take great interest in the con-
troversy. Besides, it would, we are sure, help Ma
mayer Hamblln's project, by making it still more no
torious and talked about Come out then in reply,
Mr. Manager Hambin, and meanwhile, what think
you OF pledgng the real estate on which the thea
tire is to be built as security TO those who subscribe
