Rev. DR.. TYING then addressed the meeting. He
said it thrty-two years since he first attended
meeting Of a colonization society, and for thirty
two years he had, through evil report and good re-
port, stood by one Of the grandest and noblest as
soeiations the world ever And though thirty
years experience of it had brought him t.
period Of life when the blood might well grow Chill
| still he was this evening warmly attached a
ever to the principles of the association. From
| every quarter they had received encoura cement,
and. above all, from Africa itself In this society
there were dsorganzers, to shatter the fair
sci Of public order, and dash to pieces the crystal
vase of domestic peace. (Cheers) They had
| no foreign hired agents who came from lands whose
institutions were degrading to humanity. He saw
the time when the cause swept the dust; but, thank
\ God, it stood in a different position now. The
association had sent 10000 emigrants to Liberia.

10000 more. 1t is true, they had 10 fight every
inch Of the ground but it was noble contest, and
many of the good and great of the land were enlist

\ and order They had heard read the letter Of
man who an honor to his country and his kind.
| He taught him Latin in his youth, and he never
heard him utter any other sentiment than that Of
| order and obedience to the laws. (Checrs.) He
held in his hand some of the leaves Of the Upas
tree. Holding up the speeches Of George ThomP-
son and othersl lie was one Of those men who
were denounced for their adherence to the law and
the constitution There was great enlightener
somewhere this continent, who took the title
of Member Of the British Parliament"-a man

He would now read for them extracts from some of
the speeches of that gentleman. [lIere DR.. Tying
read extracts from the speeches of Thompson, de-
nouncing the pulpit and the press of the United
States in the grossest language. The speeches have
already appeared in the Herald The reverend
gentleman then proceeded to defend the chara ,ter
of the clergy, and asked if the 10000 ministers Of
the United states, whom George Thompson de-
scrbed bread and butter parsons and lickspittal
priests, were not likely to form a correct and
dispassionate judgment upon the que stion now agi
taing the country, any other in this country
or in any other country And when the wretched
man hurled his reproach at such men the vener.
able friend (Rev. DIR. Woods) now before them,
whose head was crown Of glory, did it not fall like
a feeble and broken weapon! There was ano-
! ther man whose education and whose associations
in life ought to have taught him better-born as h.
was in the noble Bay State, and brought up on the
banks of the Merrimac. He (Dr. Tyng) was born
in the same glorious State of Massachusetts, and
he was sorry to find man from such State
] ascribing the oIduct pursued by the clergy and
other conscientious mento the magnetic influence
of bales Of cotton" There time when bales
Of cotton did help to secure the liberty Of. this
country. (Chcers) The gentleman doubt held

pole, and seemed to be cherished by many in the
present day, that . every man has his price" lie
would like to know bow much cotton would
purchase his venerable friends, DR.. Cox AMI DR.
I Spring, who had been mentioned by aame BY
\ the slanderers. There was not enough in all
the upland Of Georgia, to purchase the souls
Of these men, or induce them 10 say what they dill
believe. But he held in his hs nd mother aper,
in which Dr. lying was described as " man whose
proslavery sentiments were disgrace to his ances-
tors" His father he was proud to say was
ornament 20 iis country and one Of the first things
he taught him, was 70 obey The constitution, and
TO respect the federal 60 crnmcnt Of the country.
