A PANDEMONIUM.- The Anti Slavery
Convention at Boston, last week, terminated in
considerable Of row. One OF the papers tells
that, during the whole OF The closing evening,
there was continual disturbance.
While Charming was speaking, near The close,
a continued breaking down Of benches was going
on, and betor be got through all the lamp stands
on one side OF the chapel wen, down with crash.
The Polca stayed the storm for few minutes,
hui It broke out again, making The place perfect
Pandemonium. All this Garrison warmly de-.
nounced, calling il 'scurvy treatment, ndremark-
ing that hen ever the Church was denounced, or
The Union assailed these beasts of Bashan aud rep
tiles Of Sodom beloved and Kissed their venom
The character Of the Church and Union was well
demonstrated, he added, when such filth and scum
were its supporters. This tasteful sally did mol
do much towards pacifying The 'opposers, as ne
called them, and so the row went on, Stephen
Foster deicaeiy charscterising the actors in IL as
"skunks, with small heads and large heels"

The Tea and Coffee Duty.

The resolution adopted the other day BY the House of
Representatives to the effect that is nexpedent lay
duty tea and coffee does not appear TO
elusive 10 the fate of that in Congress. Ii
certainly indicates that the House is yet ready lay
the duty that as at present advised is dIsncncd to u
inclination will give way 10 any reasonable argument IN
favor Of the necessity OF such duty 10 raise revenue,
or TO sustain the credit Of the government
This may be fairly inferred, think, from the expla
nation which Mr. Thompson of Pennsylvania, gave of
his vote the next morning lie had voted, he said, for
the resolution, but he was still willing TO vote for the
duty, il il could be made 10 appear that IL important
10 the credit OF the government tha, shod he Land II
would be paying bad compliment 10 the House TO sup
pose that il does not contain many members reasonable
Mr.. Thompson The inference may also be
very fairly drawn from the circumstances under which
the resolution was passed II was passed without pre-
meditation. withou, consideration without discussion
II is of those cStempore proceedings Of delbea-
tive body which Is proper subject OF reconsideration
one OF those steps which such body never thinks IL
becoming IFS dignity to relrace one OF those crude and
casual expressions of opinion concerning question not
yet examined 10 which does not consider itself bound
by any pride OF consistency Ia adhere.
The argument against the duty tea and coffee.
understand il, that these articles all used BY
the slaves. who form 50 arss part OF the population o
the south, and therefore that the duty their mports
ton would be paid mostly By the I@ope OF the north and
west There ~ mistake IN the premises here II - not
fact that and coffee not consumed b. the slave
popu alton. The house slaves OF the south a-s them
and waste them; the field slaves, although they do not
receive them part of their daily allowance procure
them BY their casual earnings, Just as the men among
them procure their tobacco and the the rihsDds
and other hnery in which they hauni ON sundays.
This view OF the matter places the duty on tea and
coffee upon precisely the footing with The duty
levied long list oi other commoalticshe duis

ductons which form the food OF man. condiments
on thousand fabrics which made garments and
