CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 81, 1858.
FRIEND TIMBs--The material for let
Ter, other than that which appears in the
newspapers, is at present quite limited
The principal topic m and around Cam
bridge is the slavery discussion between the
law students. 1t has even become Of so
great notoriety as to appear in the columns
of the "New York Evening Post" Many
notices of this discussion have appeared in
the freesoil papers Of Boston, and as would
be expected all Of them are characterised
by falsehood and wilful Misrepresentation
We shall not enter into the discussion here.
Suffice it TO say, the North challenged the
South to discuss the question. The south
promptly responded, and the north have
hitherto been unable 10 answer their argu-
ments, but have INDUCED in scurrility and
abuse. The south with the Bible in one
hand and the constitution in the other,-the
north with "Uncle TOMS Cabin" in one
hand, and the "Key" to it in the other.
You have probably read, ere this, the ac-
count of the Hale dinner. Garrison, Hale,
Sumner, Cassius M. Clay s. Co., as usual
INDUCED in philippe against the slave
holding States.
The last week was one of the great weeks
in Boston. A large number Of annversa-
ries were then and there held. Prompted
by curiosity, we attended the anti-slavery
convention, and were good deal surprised
at two things. One that it was ''mot
ley crew. most of whom were Of the fai,
seq, particularly of the colored portion
The other, that there seemed 10 be no uniol
between them;--every one had differen
creed from his brother" Garrison, Wen
dell Phillips & Co., will not support TIT
constitution of the U. S., will not vote SC.
declaring it to be Ga compact with hell."-
Wright & Co. say they will not and ough
not pay tareS, for they thereby acknowledge
the supremacy of the government. TIL
freeseilers call the abolitienists "craz,
set''-declare they win support the consti
tuition with but one exception, viz: the ''Fu
gitive Slave Law" They differ amon
themselves about everything but ':niggers.
A colored gentlemen of the legal protess,o
from Salem, declared the colored race wer
equal TO the white, and had right to inter
! marry with them and would do so. You
) humble servant heard such sentiments as tn
following: "Did believe the Bible recog
missed or sanctioned slavery would kick
into the fire, and were l able l would pu
God himself upon block and sell him a
auction" The Woman's Rights advocate
came in for their share in this convention
The eloquent Misses Lucy Stone and Salli
Hollie, dressed in Bloomer costume tina
had almost degenerated into male attire, dis
, coursed 10 the assembled multitude. Mis-
Lucy also addressed the Convention for re
} vising the constitution of Massachusetts, ''an
advocated the expediency of striking out tn
word "male," in that part of the constitution
relating to the right of suffrage. Mrs. Full
} som having become old and ugly, is not per
mitted to speak in the assembly, and SO til
poor soul amounts block" and harangue
} the multitude in the streets.
From private information we learn tha
the crystal palace is progressing very slow
ly. We learn from the same source that
vessel laden with passengers TO the exhib
f ton, had returned to Europe on account
the exhibition not having been opened
Many friends Of the students of Cambride
d from the South have returned home disa,
S pointed. We are afraid many of our Mi
n souri, friends will also be.
