others, and we really began to fear a serious
disturbance, when we found that the voice
OF woman in simple song was derided and
hooted at by creatures that call themselves
men--God forgive them! However, some
sense of deconcy wns lingering still in the lob
by, aud before the first verse was finished, n
considerable degree of quiet was restored.
About half the song was lleurd-the remain

taken out the back entrance.
In the meantime the Chief of Police had
introduced n large force into the place, aud
the Trustees of the Library, oil representa-

was endangered by the meeting, had procu-

n brief consultation, MIR. Garrison announced
lunder protest, however, the circumstances,
and declared the meeting of the American
Anti-Slavcry Society adjourned without day.
The Policemen then came in aud very

nouncing his relationship to the monkey

begging the Herald Reporter to make note

Thus closed Anti-Slovery free discussion
In New York for 1850.
Having been driven from all chance of
public meeting in this City, the members of
the Anti-Slavery Society, in the afternoon,
held private meeting at the Sailors Home,
in Cherry-st., where the following resolr-
tons were introduced by the Business Com
mittec and unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The meetings of this Society, Mt
the instigation of Benefits Herald, The Globe
and other equally prohigate journals (Which are
manifcstly in the pay OF the Slavcholding ban
ditti,) have been riotously interrupted so as to
render all orderly proceedings impossible; and
Wh1eas, The Mayor OF New York, the Chief
OF the Police and the High Sheriff, have been |
cognizant of this brutal demonstration, but evil
IDENTIFY unwilling to make efforts to restrain it,
even so much as by personal appeal and rcrLon-
rtrancc, to the utter prostration of the most sa-
cred rights, and to the imminent peril of the |
lives of peaceful mon and women, engaged Ia |
most praisworthy object therefore
Ilcsolred, That we leave the Odium of these |
disgraceful facts to rest upon this City-a broad |
and black stain and proclaim to this world,
that freedom Of speech and right pcaccably to !
assemble together, in New York, are enjoyed |
only to the extent that q lawlcss mob choose
to allow.
Resoired-That when the profane, the drunk
en-, the liccntious, the lawlcss rally together to
break up the meetings of the American Anti
Slavery Society, by groaning, believing, and
making the most beastly noises, and uttcring
the foulcst language scoffing at all appeals to
reason, deccncy and manly conduct; and when,
at the same time, they give "three cheers for
tho Church." "thrcc cheers for the Constitu-
tion," and "thrce cheers for the Union," we sub
NIT to a candid world whether the highest evil
dcncc is not furnished that the Church, the
and the Union arc against G cd and
against Liberty, and have entered into a cove
nant with DEATH" and "with hell are at agree
mcnt;' and that this society is engaged in a
godlikc entcrprizc, and deserves the approba-
ton of every pure and noble spirit
ResOlred-That the progress OF the Anti-Sla-
very entcrprize, from the beginning hitherto,
amid opposition, persecution and roproach, from
victory TO victory, has been furnishing continu-
nj illustrations OF the truth that it is divincly
ordained that all men must aid the cause of right,
willingly or unwillngly; by the measures
which from love to the cause they employ for
is promotion, or by those which, from hatred
10 il, they blindly use to countcract it and
therefore, that to talter now in our faith, or let
abate our zeal and activity, be-
cause of the many recent demonstrations of
the tenacious vitality, the nsatiatc grccdincss,
the subtitle wilcs and terrible strength OF Slavery
would argue forgetfulness OF our whole past
history, no less than loss of that reliance on
principle that trust in moral power which has
.hus far sustained and animated us.
Resolped-That the events of the present week
Ind the events of the past year, tho reviving
violence of the pro-slaycry mob, the seemingly
'uccessful struggles of Slavery for wide extern
sion of its domain, fhe detection of men of note
md influence and powerful intellect, who have
,laimod to be and ought to be among the fore
most and the iirmest "to oppose that extension
.t all times, under all circumstances, against all
against all supposed limitations of
yrcat interests, against all combinations, against
instead of dishcartcnhig the faith

II fire them with fresh zeal, and stimulate them
o new cxcrtions; teaching them that, under
iod, the only hope not of the slave alone, but
# the country is in their fidelity, cne.gy and
perseverance.
The following resolution was offered by
Joseph A. Dugdale of Ohio, and adopted;
Resoloed-That a merely quiet testimony
gainst the inhuman and diabolical system of |
slavery is practical infdelity against the demo-
ratio gospel of glad tidings uttered by the giant
on Of Mary, whose teachings were intended to
indie moral revolution in the hearts of men, ,
n proclaiming liberty to the captiyes" to
bolish the internal system of American chattol-
SIN the church which would sustain its fidcli-
y 10 God must not only be characterized by an
inward faith, but demonstrate the same by an
outward fruit.
The Society then proceeded to the regular
nnual election of officers, which resulted
