Abolitionist Agitation.

An apology is due 20 the reader for obtrudirg
port ola days proceedings Of the Anti-Slavery
Convention now in session at Boston. The
statement is too blasphemous and filthy to be
tolerated as an ordinary item Of intelligence
but its republication may serve to convey in
brief space fair epitome Of the diabolical stuff
that constitutes the staple Of the most approved
aboliuonist harsngues. We take our copy from
the New York Tribune:

EVENING SESSION.
"At the session, this evening. Theodore Parker
made speech to a crowded audience, the pre-
sent condition and future prospects OF the slave
power in the United States. During his address
he alluded TO the Hon. Charles Sumner, and the
disrust that anti slavery men began to feel Of him.
For himself, he believed Mr.. Sumner would be
found true TO his principles, and would show moral
courage to the nation that would endesr him to the
friends Of liberty throughout the world.
