The Society assembled, according to adjourn.
inent, and at 10 o'clock were called to order by the
President.
Tho resolution before the meeting, the dis
solution of the Union, was read again and the
following was also reported by the Business Com
mttcc
Resolved, That an Anti.Slavery conscience which
tudc, instead Of presenting any barrier to the ex-
tension Of the Slave Power, may safely bo disre-
garded and scohcd at by the South, as hypocritcal
in its pretended opposition to Slavery, cowardly in
its spirit, and spasmodic in its action.
Mr. PuRvIs, of Pennsylvania asked leave for a
few words, in explanation Of the remarks made
personal to himself at yesterdays morning meet
ing, by his friends the president of the Society and
DR.. Furness, of Philadelphia
Mr.. Puryiss illusions to his color called out one
or two more speakers, and the subject, thus Incl.
dentally brought up, ELECTED quito an interesting
discussion, in which Samuel j. May, W. L. Garri-
son, I. Van Rensselaer,, Wendell Phillips, Charles
l.. Remond, Andrew Jackson Davis, Mr.. Irving,
Henry c. Wright, and others took part.
Mr. A. J. DAvis's remarks above referred to,
were substantially as follows: lie said that since
he had been in the city no had been told in IN ad
snonitory way that among his best friends, and
most interested readers of his publications. was
largo and increasing class at the South that he
already has numerous readers there, and a very
large sale for his publications might easily be se-
cured. All this, he was told would be most in
juriously affected, il nc Mr. Davis should take
prcminent part in the Anti-Slsyery movement, and
especially if he should identify himself with the
Anti-Slavery meetings now holding in this city.
Under these circumstances, he had felt it to be his
duty to take the earliest opportunity to express the
deep and entire interest he felt in this movement
and in this Society. His whole mind and heart,
his ontirc being, led him to identify himself most
entirely with the cause. SO far as he had real
friends at the South, he did not fear that any of
them would be aliensted from him by this decara
lion on his part.
J. Muller McKIM objected to tho frequent re-
petition by our speakers Of the idea that we are
"infdcls." The members Of the Society under
stand the meaning of this admission, but others
DO not. lie denied that there existed the least
ground for the charge, in any correct sense.
WESDrLL PaILLrPs differed from Mr.. McKim
TO some extent. lie thought that we should, in ou,
papers and by our speakers, always make il clear
in one of two ways that We are far as the pole!
nsunder from tho Churches and Religion Of th
country. We should, first, either claim that WI
are tho true Church, and repudiate the churches
palpits, and clergy of the land generally as tn.
heretics, who were to be communicated from tn,
true Christian body; or, second, proclaim it open
ly and everywhere that we are Ne irfdeis, Away
at tho same time making it definitely understoo
that ii is to the false, cruel yosdUey religion tina
we are infdel.
LUoRErIA MorT, Of Philadelphia, spoke wit
disapprobatiOn of the programme of yesterday,
morning meeting, announcing PRAYER by persol
soeeted fo- the purpose. and the singing Of certa
select pieces.
ADBv KELLEY Foster took the same ground
thinking the equal rights of many members Of tn
Society were compromised by the said programme
which she spoke of as an entire departure from tn
customary course Of the Society.
IS. p. ASDnEws continued the debate.
