Anti.Slayery Lecture in Salem.
The Anniversary.

We prepared an article about Our glorious
Anniversary. Not room for it all, says the
printer. Well it was glorious one, that we
will say. The old forest was glorious. The
weather was glorious, and the hospitality Of
the good citizens was gloriously unbounded,
except by the demand upon il. The audi
ence was unprecedentedly large on Sunday,
and quite all that could I've expected subse-
quently. There was liberality, fraternity,
fidelity and firmness. The speaking of Bur-
leigh and Pillsbury, of Brisbane, and Sallie
Holey, and the multitude of others who lay
no claims to rhetoric, but who understood
and felt the great truths ofifeedom and utter
ed them in their own strong and hearty way.
All was worthy Of the occasion and the
cause.
BY the Report OF the Financial Committee
il will be seen that the donations and pledg-
es, amounted to S60603. TO which should
be added pledge of friends in Michigan, Of
$3.50 in case the Committee will grant them
the services of Mr.. Walker as agent during
the coming Winter; which the Committee
have already promised, with Mr.. Walkers
consent. Many of the reliable abolitonists
present, made 10 contributions or pledges,
reserving them for the meetings to be held
in their vicinity.
The discussions of the last day, upon the
resolutions of the Business Committee, deep
ened in interest and power to the last, and
the hour ofudjournment, after three days
session, found all interested in its contin-
uence, with more than the freshness and Wig
of its commencement. We have never wit
messed discussion of the differences be-
Quoted SO much to our liking, as the closing
one Of Tuesday. The resolutions were evil
IDENTITY thought by the Free Soilers, to be Sc
we're upon their position, in supporting the
pro-slayery compact, the despicable aud
bloody sham of the American Union. 1t
seemed TO US that the truthiulness and pro-
priety Of the resolutions were triumphantly
vindicatcd. DIR. Brisbane, who opposed
them, affirming that if bis views of the Con-
stitulion were such as those entertained by
the Society, he should he compelled to adopt
their position. But believing us he did, that
the Constitution was not only ample in its
provisions for the removal OF slavery in the
States, but that its principles were such as
would annihilate it throughout the world, he
was compelled to dissent from our measures,
and could freely cooperate with the Free
Soil Party.
Exception was particularly taken to the res
oluton which afiirms that Freesoilers well
cone slavery to the governmei. In justifca-
ton, Parker Pillsbury referred to the fact that
everywhere, in their convention, resolutions,
their papers, and congressional speeches they
had avOwed their attachment TO the Union and
their determination to abide by it, Even
g. Sumner had pronounced it twice blessed.
jacob lleaton thought we should separate;
the one TO the right and the other to the left.
There should be no strife between us. Our
object was common. lie conceded the SIN
cerity anu earnestness oil the disunonists.-
G. c. Bureigh replied, your concession is
our sufficient justification. We honestly be-
lieve that the Free Soil Party occupies po-
silion which renders direct and efficient sup
port to Slavery.
Ifyou be equally honest, and sincere which
we neither deny nor doubtit; what can we
as honest men do less than expose your false
position?shal we suffer unexposed, the friends
of freedom to be deuded into the support of
slavery? II seems to us that our Free Soil
brethren were severly pinched by the argu-
ments of Messrs. Burleigh and Pllsbury,
but that was no fault of Theirs and they bore
it with cOmmendable patience and good hu-
NOR.
