OLIVER Johnson, from the Committee Of Ar

regard to the programmed he said The response
bility Of issuing programme for the proceedings
Of this Anniversary rests on me, as having been
appointed, with one or two others in this City, a
Committee of Arrangements. corresponded with
Mr.. May, Of Boston, and have his leave TO say he
shares the responsibility Of all that has been done.
4 There was an objection to the announcement be-
iorchand Of prayer. In this it seemed to me
there was no departure from our principles. There
is frequently private understanding with some
person beforehand, and it seemed proper to put
the whole proceedings in the programme. ] re-
gret that any member was panied; yet | am not
persuaded that we have acted contrary to the prin-
cipes Of the Association.
The resolutions before tho meeting were read by
the Secretary.
Mr.. BLACKWELL of Cincinnati, spoke in opposi-
ton to the adoption of the resolutions lie had no
idoatry for the Union and believed il would perish
under the growth Of true Anti-Slavery sentiment
and conscience but he tboughtit il error to make
its dissolution a distinct and prominent issne.
Epxuxp QuiNcY, of Massachusetts, replied in an
able manner to Mr. Blackwells argument.
After some further brief remarks on the rosolu-
tions from two or three speakers, adjourned to tho
evening.
| EvExixo-Mr Garrison in the chair.
Mr.. VAN RESsENLAER spoke against tho resolu.
ton for the dissolution Of the Union.
! OS motion of Oliver johnson, Voted, That the
speakers bo requested to limit themselves to ten
minutes each.
CHARLES L. REMosp objected to the representa-
ton given this afternoon, by Mr.. Blackwell of
Ohio, of the purport Of certain remarks of Mr..
Frederick Douglass in the late Cincinnati Conyen-
ton, and at the Tabernacle meeting last evening
Mr.. Rcmond spoke also in favor Of Dissolution
of the Union.
SAMUEL j. MAY, of Syracuse, advocated the Dis.
solution of the union having believed, from the
very beginning of the enterprise that this
is necessary for the slaves emancipation.
II. C. WRIGHT spoke in favor of the resolutions.
Mr.. DoRRAScE, of New Jersey, spoke of the
primary principles of all just government, and
enquired if this government was in harmony with
the moral sense Of the American people.
J. w. LoGuEN, of Syracuse said he had learned to
detest Slavery, while he was himself in the slave
gang. He then resolved to dissolve his connexion
with Slavery the first opportunity, and had done
go. He believed both in fighting and in praying
for the right, and he equally religious in both
exercises. He spoke Of his brother and sister
still in Slavery-sold by the man who was his
master, and his father too, to a Methodist class
leader.
I Mr.. GARRIsoS opposed the idea of removing Sia
very by boodshed. The spirit Of force, thus foster
ed would be sure to continue oppression in anoth
very character OF the Constitution and the necessi
y of religious and political separation from slave
; holders.
T. DOUGLASS, Of Rochester, said the Union, Al
Mr.. Garrison and his friends looked at it. was al
6 they declared it to be. But he took diferen
= view of the question, believing the government pre-
vertcd from its true and original intent.
Mr.. d. denied the charge made by Mr. Remon,
/ that he did, on the proceeding evening, ridicul

q he had said.
