Just when they do not interfere with the in.
dividual rights ofeachto enjoy what he earns
by his industry and intelligence which will
always take rank seperate from and above

loose hubbub.
2.-'i'hat no censure can be cast Silas
Wright or on John Van Buren, as members
of the Democratic party either individually
or collectively, for their recent conduct in
the Anti-Rent business.
This kicked up a magnificent bobbery and

no llttle sweating.
BE have abolished all kinds ofslavery
and especially negro slavery.
This was passed after a great deal ofgrumb
ling.
4.-ResoEred,--That ignorance is the
cause of all our misery.
Here was another row-de-dow for a short
time, but finally the convention swallowed
this, seeing it was the last.
A queer looking genius with %asuspicious
looking shirt, who looked as though if two
ideas should by accident meet in his brain
that they would certainly split his head open
then rose very quainlly and saidin a selfsat
isied tone:
Mr.. Chairman Tee got a plan. [Roars o
laughter.] | have
Owen.--It's too late. Increased laugh

Mr.. Owen then rose to give the details o
his plan; and he took up a thick quarto print
ed pamphlet, and began to read from it.
Peebies.--i wish 10 know if this plan j:
debaiable.--(Uproar.)
Owen.--I must not be interrupted.

I P.--I don't interrupt you at ali. (Furiou:
laughter and uproar. "Turn him out,""HiI

expressions gave dreadful note appropriation

P.-(Nothing daunted).-I again ask, is

Member.--Sit down, sir.
Another.--Shut up lis all settled. (Scream,
of laughter and a Babel of confusion.
Mr.. o. at last went on reading he said he
wanted about So, 100000 to carry out all his
plans. He also said that MIR. Arkwrigh
(whose father shaved men for a penny a piece,
had an income of G450,000 a year, and left
a fortune Of Gl0,000,0O0!
Member.--What's that to do with the
Worlds Convention? (Laughter)
Owen.-Why it was enough to establish
and to keep in operation several of these So
%cieties without injury to his income; and i
was all wrung from the sweat and suffering
of the poor. (Applanse.)
Mr.. o. then went on at great length from
his printed pamphlet, but the audience seem
ed sorry and sleepy. The hat was passed
round and the meeting adjourned.
The after-dinner meeting was but a repiti
ton of very similar scenes.
