Ny DIAN Sir Your favor Of the 1st instant daily
came to hand, informing me that attention has been
painfully directed to letter from Rev. H. H. Spading
ate missionary Of the American Board to the Oregon H.
dams in which he states that upon the arrival Of the
superintendent last June treaty formed with the
tribes ot the middle districts article OF which pro-
yides that American Il e. Procstant) missionary
flall eyersgain enter their country
Tho treaties which have recently been negotiated not
having been sent 70 me- had knowledge of their
contents and therefore in cdatcy referred your letter
to The Commissioner OF Indian Affairs for information
the subject to which il audas have Just received
letter fiom him. in which he says. IL reluctant to
believe that Mr. spalding has made the statement i'm
nu;ed to him. it is entirely destitute Of truth There
have been thirteen treaties negotiated with the Indians
in Oregon by the superintendent the first dated August
the last November 1851. All except the last bear
the signature Of Mr spaldng himself who associated
with the SUPERINTENDENT in their negotiation In
Of the whole number is there provision whatever that
gives the slightest ssEhance Of truth to Mr. Spaldings
statement
A this mistake Of Mr. Spalding's to have been
propagated to the prejudice Of the administration will
thank you il you will contradict it in your paper. Your
obedient servant. WILLARD FILLMORE.

Queer Doings among the AbolitiOnists of
Boston.
From the Boston Courier, 18th inst.l


series Of meetings was held Mt the Melodeon
yesterday, by the abolitionists, in commemoration
Of the departure of Thomas Sims, the slave OF Mr.
Potter, Of Georgia, who was surrendered to his
owner and departed from this city on the 18th of
April, 1851. In the morning, there was q medley
OF religious exercises, conducted by the Rev. Theo-
dore Parker and others; and in the afternoon and
evening. speeches were made by Francis jackson,
Charles Remond, Wendell Phillips, William L. Car
rison, and other individuals of the anti-slavery
school. We heard portion of Mr. Phillips SAddress
in the evening: but it contained not one idea that
we have not heard him advance fifty times before,
clothed in quite as terocious language. Mr. Web
ser, usual, visited with q round Of those bad
expressions which the delirous orators of the abo
ton forum know so well how to utter. Mr.. Phillips
made an estimate of the amount, of sum and sub
stance, of the antislavery sentiment prevailing at
this time in Massachusetts,. He said there just
enough to make certain men behave themselves
to make the Legislature pass resolutions which
meant nothing-to get Sumner into the Senate, and
abide his silence thereto get Rantoul into the
House Of Representatives, and observe his attempt
to he himself out Of his position; but this not
enough. This would not be sufficient to save the
commonwealth; so he concluded by abandoning his
peace doctrines, and intimatng that fugitive slaves
must hereafter rely upon their own right arms. He
eulogized the courage which undertook and executed
the slaughter of Mr.. Gorsuch at Chrisana; and said
the people here would not arouse until Marshal
Iukey's life ended in similar tragedy.
To these wild teachings an elderly gentleman in
the front of the hall took exceptions. He pro
nouneed them shocking in the extreme, and he ad-
monshed his friends to turn away from them-to
avoid the bowie knife, the dagger, the pistol, and
the dose OF poison-to trust their cause to God, and
not to Massachusetts, and the abolitionists. This
old gentleman was subsequently called to account
by person who was introduced as Rev. Mr.. Wea-
therbee, and who asked him if he believed in pray
er! The elderly gentleman replied, sharply, that
he did, but that he had no faith in the "carnal
weapons which the gentleman on the platform (Mr.
Phillips) had the impudence to encourage" This
questioning and answering was kept up for some
time, to the general joy of large and good naturcd
audience-a third part Of which attended this ban
quet Of emotions as much for pleasure as men visit
the theatre for the purpose Of hearing fool recite
nonsense on the stage.
There was no real disturbance at any of the meet
ings. Some rude boys, in the evening, amused
themselves by throwing beans through tube at
the heads of few colorcd men who sat in front of
them, and others amused themselves by cheering
and Kissing the orators in proportion their
speeches gave pleasure OF dspleasure to the multi
fuic
