Peace Reception Meeting in Boston.

e. From the NatioilnI y. ,. Standard.
Last evening a Public Meeting was held by
the American Peace Society, in the fremont
Temple (Bostunl 10 receive the Delegates to
the Paris Convention, on their return home.
it is needless to say that your Correspondent
was thar. The Chair was taken by Colonel
Josiah Quincy, jr., by particular request
This gentleman is not, l believe, q member
of the Peace Society, but as neither this cir
cumstaBce nor the fact that he avowed him
self in favor of military establishments and
of all necessary fighting were thought mate
rial objections by tie promoters OF the Meet
ing, he could not object TO presiding over it.
After a few Introductory remarks by the
Chairman and prayer by the Rev. Charles
Brooks, Amasa Walker, Esq,was introduced.
tie reJoiced TO be the messenger of Triumph
of the greatest Victory Peace had ever
achieved. lie gave an historical narrative
of the adventures of the Pilgrims to Paris,
with which your readers are already suffi-
ciently well acquainted. He diluted on the
glories which e~ncompassed the Convention,
the Notabiiiiies that illustrated it, the testivi-
ties that followed it. The American Dele
CATION, he said, WIS unpleasantly small, con-
sisting OF but twenty-five, all told; but he
accounted ior it by tile fact that in this coun-
try it is the Martyr Age of the Peace Cause!
And, of course, it was not to be expected
that a numerous detachment of this Noble
Army OF Martyrs would take up their Cross
and their line OF march for Paris; particu-
lurly, as it was uncertain whether the Con-
vention would be held on account of the
Cholera. And he announced a Convention
for next year at Frankfor. Oh Maine.
Next, the Rev. DI. Joseph Allen, of North
boro', spoke of the ~fraternization of the Alb
be Du Query and the Pastor Coquerel, as
the representatives of Catholicism and Pro-
~testantisin, and afterwards of the former gen-
tleman and MIR. Spencer, l believe, an Eng
lish clergyman of the Established Church.
He also mentioned the attentions of the OF
fcers of the Meeting TO the Rev. MIR. Pen
nington, q man of color, after he had finished
his speech. But the Reverend gentleman
remembered to forget the animated reception
of William w. Brown, and the enthusiasm
he excited, which led the way to MIR. PEN
nington's appearance. None of the dele
gates who spoke alluded to Mr.. Browns sue
cess, which was clearly, from the French
accounts, the great feature of the Conven-
ton, as far as the Delegation from this
try was concerned. 1t was not gratifying to
those gentlemen, doubtless, to have had the
wind taken out of their sails, in public and
in private, by a runaway Niger; but the
historical fact should not have been sup
dressed, DR.. Allen showed ms the pocket
!Testo,nept in French which was presented
to the American Delegates by their English
brethren, and concluded with an account of
