contrary, has written a letter since the cleo

even opposed to the existence Of slavery in
the District of Columbia, for in his letter Of
acceptance he said, that while he withdrew
his pledge to veto a bill abolishing slavery
there, yet he did not think such a bill had
better be passed! Voting for him therefore,
however it must be an improvement on vo-

should become a Free Soiler, and should be,

he does not, not only liberate his own slaves
but become all out-and-out opposer of the

The Anniversary Meeting.

The Annual Meeting of the Western Anti
Slavery Society has, fer The last two years,
been held in August; but the present Exec
utive Committee find it desirable, for more
than one reason, to call the Society together
this year at the time it used to meet-about
the middle OF June. This season Of the year
will probably suit the anti-slavery friends as
well as a later period Of the summer, as is
hoped will be proved by the attendance of a
large body of working abolitionists. 1t is
not, or Should not be expected that the entire
time of an annual meeting be devoted to ma
king or listening to eloquent speeches, for
these, however good they may be, and how
ever desirable on such occasions, should not
be suffered to interfere with the regular busi-
ness Of the Society. The members of tho
Executive Committee, who are appointed by
the Society to carry forward its operations,
should not be allowed to be disheartened by
the presence Of an empty treasury-or what
is worse, one that is in debt-to feel that
they are expected to make bricks without
straw, to endure a bondage of spirit truly E.
gyPtian.
In regard to ,ohers the annual meeting will
he held, the Committee made no decision
that matter was left open. The Society
would probably convene, as last year, in a
grove, if the weather was pleasant: bat it
would he necessary to have a good-sized
meeting house 10 resort 10 if the weather
should prove unfavorable. The place should
be OF easy access to the body of abolitionists,
and me friends of The cause should be sufi-
ciently numerous in the neighborhood to en-
certain those in attendance, unless-as is The
case in some sections--those not identified
with the abolilionists are sufficiently hospi-
table TO entertain them.
Salem had the Anniversary last year, New
Lyme the year before, and New Garden the
year before that. After the place had been
decided upon last year, the Committee recei-
we'd an invitation from some friends, we think
in the neighborhood of New Garden, to APP
point the meeting there; Randolph was also
spoken Of, and probably some other places.
Now what the Committee want is this-
to obtain The offer Of a suitable place for the
meeting. Therefore, those friends Of the
cause who desire the meeting in their neigh

Adjournment Of Congress.

The National Iateiiieenctr the 9Th inst.
SAYS. The last day. sitting Of the sec
ond session Of the Thitlie,h Congress,
was extended, with the exception Of brief
recess Of an hour or SO, from eleven o.
clock on Saturday morning until sunrise
Yesterday morning. BY the list OF acts
passed, it will he perceived that all the
annual appropriation bills have become
laws, though as we had forseen, no. with.
out severe rhci as well in the Commit
tees as in the two Houses, in which more
excitement and unpleasant feelings we're
manifested than has perhaps ever before
been witnessed at the close Of the session.
The general appropriation bill was barely
saved at the latest moment, through The
perseverance aud patriotic efforts OF those
gentlemen in both Houses who were not
willing to see the wheels of,he government
stopped, or impeded by Withholding the
supplies necessary to keep Them IN motion.
Such was yesterday the complete eAhaus.
ton, as well Of the officers Of the two
houses, as Of our reporters, that il has been
impossible for US to oftr our readers to
day anything like a regular report OF the
proceedings IN either house during the cit
ting of Saturday. We mus. conien, our
selves therefore, with stating the result, o
the most important questions left for fna
decisioa on that day as follows
First, no Btl has passed providing

fell through from the inability Of The tw
Houses to concur IN any proposition. A
