chair was handed to him and he sat down. He again
rose bowed, and proceeded to speak, Gentlemen, !
have no desire to press myself upon your attention;
only and here his accents were drowned by the cheers
that went forth "for Winthrop" "for Webster and for
the country" Mr. Thompson finally withdrew from
the platform.
A conference now held among the presiding Of
icers as to what was the best to be DONE and it
solved to introduce VIM. H. Charming; but immedi-
aely upon his mounting the rostrum three cheers for
Jenny Lind" were called for and heartily given by the
crowd Mr. Charming oolshy persisting in his desire
to he heard, Jenny Lind again cheered, were
also Webster, Cass, Winthrop, Bunker Hill, the ladies
in the gallery, &c But Mr.. Charming continuing TO
harangue and gestculate about fifty whstles struck up
| a medley of tunes, consisting of" Y ankee Doodle"
Lucy Neal ""Dandy Jim" and one fellow, more shrill
than his companions, gave an excellent imitation OF
Jenny Limbs echo" Rings were also formed in varl
| Gus parts of the hall, and the " Camptown hornppe
danced by some halt dozen couples After the dan
cling, cheers given Tor the Hen Convention" and
| groans for Johu Bull"
The renowned Abigail Folsom now made herap
ance in the northern gallery, and was received with
hearty cheers She claimed hearing, and the compa-
nv present too good natured to refuse her. Her
first sentence was lost in the generous greetings OF the
crowd but quiet having been restored she proc edrd so
speak defence OF the right speech cit IS glorious,
said she, ito be here tonight" She then went on to
say that brutes would conduct themselves better than
the auditors present. and that lion IN his native desert
is better beloved animal than some folks She con
cuded by exclaiming that all rights civil, RELIGIOUS
and domestc-depend upon the right OF tree speech =
Here the whstlers again struck up and there anot-
er bout at dancing in the midst OF which Theod Par
/ ker appeared upon the rostrum and claimed hearing )
but the multitude seemed too much amused with thef
own sports attend his leqnest and after pointing TO
the portraits Of Washington and Hancock, Mr.. FAR

Another conference here held, and it was resell

Subsequently Eizur Wright appeared upon the plat

| Mr. Wright was followed by Fred Douglass, who,
arrogant he his language, failed TO e&cie
wrath in the multitude, though this was apparently his
| purpose. The gasght reduced AID Mr..
1 Thompson was conducted from the hall
The determination of the persons in the body Of the
hall seemed to be to prevent the aboionss from be-

| their folly. This was al and this accomplished
in forbearing and good natued manner though etec-
tually.
| We trust that this reception of the emissary
of the British Abolitionsts in the city of Boston
will serve as wholesome warning to him to re-
frain from the prosecution of the mission upon
which he has been deputed to this country, and
that he will gather wisdom enough from the les
/ son which he has received to induce his return
home, as promptly as possible, to those who have
sent him.
1t give us pleasure to state that it is but small
portion OF the Intelligent part OF the British peo-
pie that sympathiZes with the ncendiary projects
of which Mr. Thompson is the agent, and we al
able to produce evidence of this fact, in the follow
| ing extract from the remarks of "The British
Banner" upon speech delivered by Mr.. Thomp-
son on the eve Of his departure from London
"We this side of the for season great
y misled by the speeches and the writings OF Garrison
but time and truth opened the eyes Of Engshmen
who are able to distinguish between Things that
<roI-p tbn
but with the right minded men OF every sect and class
| who go forth in the strength of a humanity which
Christianity alone can inspire We cannot but regret
that our eloquent counuyman Mr. Thompson, the
| Member for great metropolitan constituency should
utter such language be has done the of eav
ing his country; and turthe that he should repair the
| New Word to exhibit himself, giving the aid OF his
talents, and 10 extent lending the lusIre of his
country to the maintenance of a system augh with
mpety and with the elements of destruction disorder,
and universal Reorganization. Let American bre-
rem, then understand that Mr. Thompson represents only
hmseli-that he bears with him the sanction and the
impress Of great public class, either OF Christians OF
philau thropisls OF politicians in this country"
