MASSACHUSETTS, ANTI SLAVERY CONVENTION.
(Second Day)--Among the resolutions offered
at the Anti-slavery convention to-day, is one in
regard TO kossuth, which says-"We are forced
TO regard Kossuth's course,-his Endorsement Of
the Mexican war, his uncaled for slight of Anti
slavery principles and his yielding to the inHu
ences Of the slave power, as fatal to bis preter-
sons-trea:on against humanity and human
rights--and false to his fame"
In the speeches Chiefly by Messrs Pisbury,
Wendell Phillips, and Garrison,) allusion was
made to the power of the press-the editors of
great leading papers were declared to have more
power than the President of the United States.
Mr.. Sumner was considered in danger, where
he was, of succumbing to the Delilah of slavery,
and he had better be called home in time,-and
"Daniel Webster, the great dough face" was
charged in his late speech at the Congressional
Banquet Of recanting before the keen eye OF
the great Hungarian.
Abbey Folsom and Mr Redlon also addressed
the convention.

THREE CENT PiEcEs.-E. C. Dale esq Treas
urer ofthe United States Mint at Philadelphia, in
a note addressed to the Inquirer, notices state
men the effect that the coinage Of the three cent
piece is not proceeded with on account of defect
in the law making no provision to procure silver
and copper, and that the coinage is therefore de-
layed until the deficiency is remedied, and says:
"The above statement is entirely incorrect, so
far as it impues the scarcity of the three cent coin
either to the law or to the mint. So far from the
coinage of that piece having been delayed for any
reason, it is sufficient to answer that we have al
ready issued over six millions Of pieces.
"With reference to the alleged scarcity, it must
be expected ofcourse, that coin not eight months
before the public will be some time in find ing its
way into circulation. But every accommoda ton
is afforded at the mint for that purpose. Not only
do we coin supply for all local demands, but we
send them TO the assistant trs asurers and deposit
tories of the United States, and to postmasters on
the ine-of the express companies, at our own ex
pense, and in exchange for gold. ] shall be happy
to fill all orders for of $780, 500, or $50, or
their multples, our bags ceptaining those UNITS

waiting for the ice freeze sufficiently strong to
bear them. Both of them are badly frost-btten "
