SNIvERsARY OF THE AMERICAN ANTI
EVERY Standardization Of the
Arch. This society, composed of the Gar
aboltionsts, held its anniversary meet
in New York on Tuesday. VIM. Lloyd
rison, presiding. We copy the following
II sketch of its doings from the True Sun:
Edmund Quincy, of Boston, read some ex-
its from the annual report. 1t claimed the
Probation of Providence to the course of the
$ety, and spoke of the constitution and sla-
", one of which like "huge boa consttic-
was assimilating" the other to itself. 1t
lined also that the efforts of the abolitonists
awakened power which was undermn-
the slave system, so that the whole fabric
tottering to its fall; and that this society
followed undeviatlngly to the present
Er, the course marked out in 1888. The re-
It closed with some very severe illusions to
pitiful assaults of the opponents of this
inch oft society, we presume by the other
less ultra portion of the Abolitionists.-
lie report was received with fair proportion
misses and cheers.
Letters were read from Hon. Joshua Gid
$gs, M. G. from Ohio, and David E. Child,
/ Northampton, Mass; the former excusing
&nself from attending on account of the i'm
Ertant crisis of public affairs, and the latter
Eyorng the audience with long dissertation
using the southerners in good set phrase,
bling them robbers of human rights, and
Zarging them with monopolizing govern
ent offices and pay to feed their northern jan
fries, said he would hail rebellion as a bles-
be-, and much more ultraism of the rankest
Ind.
Mr.. Garrison then made a few remarks,
herein he hoped that those who could find no
Fher relief than Kissing would hiss to their
| arts content, which suggestion they SEEM
| to adopt unanimously. He then introduced
/ c. C. Burleigh, OF Pennsylvania, who ad-
Lessed the meeting, and proposed the follow
Rg resolution:
Resolved, That we regard the constitution
Fthe American Union as bond of alliance
Eith unparalleled despotism and unsurpassed
kiquity, and that obedience to its requirements
b the subject of slavery, is inconsistent with
|lr duty to the slave, his master, our country,
|lr race and our God. And as that which
\ e can not rghtfully do, it is wrong for US to
1romise, we feel bound by every human right
nd Divine government to refuse any longer
bur adhesion to the unrghteous compact.
This he supported with much earnestness
md in spirit very like the resolution, which
lso brought forth an amalgamation of cheers
Ind Kisses.
The regular resolutions were then read
when Parker Pillsbury, of New Hampshire
ose and offered the following which he sup
ported with short speech Of an ironical ma.
hire and full of hard terms,
Resolved, That this Society rejoices in tn,
present declining state of American religion, in
.smuch as it voluntarily comes to baptise ant
o sanctify slavery, which Mahomedanism abol
shes and Catholicism condemns, and that i
will continue 10 warn the world, particularly
The so called heather portion Of it, against it
influence, especially as being extended by tn
American Board of Commissioners for Foreigl
whose definitions and defence of sla
very have proved the depravity Of that body tt
be unparalleled in the history ofthe nations the.
are laboIing to convert.
When MIR. Pillsbury had concluded, the re
Abby Kelly Foster came forward ant
made an address.
The whole tone ofthe proceedings was mos
bitterly denunciative of the religious societie
and churches in general for nor coming out q
ganst slavery, and much Incorporate if ne
foolish language was used.
