day, May 7. l am on the platform of the
broadway tabernacle. The great building is
crowded to its utmost capacity above and be-
low. Never was this spacious Tabernacle
moro denscly packed at an Anti-Slavcry meet
ing, nor at any other. And such a scene
have attended many anti-slavery meetings, but
never have been present at ono in which the cx-
element has been moro deep or more universal
ly difiuscd. To give thee and the readers of
The Bugle a just apprehension of the sccno
around me, it is necessary to go back few

and power, contrasting the Jesus and Religion
of this country with the Jesus and Religion of
the New Testament. He showed that praying,
going to meeting, baptism, and observance of
Sabbaths, belief in the Bible, belief in Jesus
and in God were no evidences of goodness, sim
ply because the most deliberate and consum-
mate criminals of this nation believed and prac-
ticod these things. He spoke some forty min
utos in his solemn, earnest and convincing man.

gave the Mexicans hell, created Zachary Taylor
President" Why doat you make Jesus Presi

indeed" said Garrison, "you have made you
Jesus President, and that is Jesus that makes
slaves and gives them TO Zachary Taylor to bc
scourgcd and sold. Yes" he repeated. "tht

young men, from IS to 25, brutal, ruffianl
looking fellows, were around him, and thes

Rynders sprang over the soats and loaped dow
upon tho platform in perfect frenzy of wratl
