BArN.-The dreary incubus under which the
weather has been lAboring for few days, dis
solved yesterday morning into a no less dreary
drizzle, which, up to the time Of going to press,
showed no Iigns of abasing. It is the codest,
meanest and most discoursging spell Of weather
we have been called upon to record since this
year commenced.
REMoyED.-Ry the annexed extract from a cir
cular issued by the American Anti Slavery Soci
ETY., it will be seen that the Annual meeting OF
the Society will not be held in this City, as here.

VIII it be believed that in the middle of the
Nineteenth Century, while we are boasting
our freedom, our civilization, our love OF liberty
and our horror Of oppression, Society composed
of peaceable and respectable citizens cannot find
place in this metropolis of the New World in
which to celebrate the Anniversary OF its forma
ton, because the owners Of all our public halls
fear the destruction Of their property should they
permit it to be used for such purpose Where
are our 700 Police Officers Where is their
valiant Chief, and where our orderloving Mayor
For what do our citizens pay thousands upon
thousands Of dollars to maintain police force If
they are not to be protected from the violence Of
such desperadoes as those who have overawed
the owners Of our public halls, and driven the
managers of the Anti Slavery Society to a
distant city to end a place in which they
may safely, peaceably and quietly discuss the
great question of human freedom, and freely
give expression TO their sentiments When
in Boston a short time since, the people, actuated
by a love OF liberty, and acting upon the
impulse Of the moment, stood between the op.
pressed and the oppressor, and in violation Of
statute enactment rescued the save Shadrach
from bondage and from the lash, our Cotton jour
nails were loud in their denunciations of the an
thorties for allowing what they termed a mob to
obtain for a moment ascendancy over the law
but now when band of lswIess villains, actuated
by no motive Of good, no love of freedom, no de
sire to benefit the oppressed and down'trodden,
succeed In driving from among US those who diff
fer with them on certain questions, these same
papers have not one word Of condemnation to be-
stow. They are deaf and blind, and dumb, or if
they do speak, it is rather to praise than to cen
sure these knaves. Indeed, one Of ocr city jour
nails quotes the extracts we have given above tor
the purpose of showing that New u ork is firm In
her adherence to the Union and that no neces
sity exists for the continuation of the Mon
Safety Committee" According to these gentle
men, when the people masse protest against
an unjust law, it is treason-when demagogues
and drunken vagabonds invade an Anti-Slavery
Convention and disperse its members, it is love
of law, admiration for order and attachment to
the Union
