Miss Stone, in letter addressed to us, saws,
My brother and his wife have gone to see her
mother, who is very sick, and have left the children
for us to care for We have no help in tho family.
On the same evening my dear old mother, stepping
in the dark, stumbled and fell her whole weight
coming on her head and face which were dread
fully stunned and bruised. 1t seems to be mpera-
tive, therefore, that l shall stay here. ! wanted,
for various reasons, TO be at the Anniversary and
regret more than can express the chapter Of mis-
fortunes which compels me to stay at home You
can say to any one who cares to ask, that am
unavoidably absent. | hope you will have such an
Anniversary as the hour demands"
Mr.. q. then introduced to tho audience WENDELL
PnILLIrs.
I'VE will publish next week the speeches of Mr..
Phillips and Mrs Foster
MIR. GARRIS0N'S SPEECH.
Mr.. GARRISON then came forward and said he
should not trespass long upon the courtesy or pa
tiencc of the meeting at that late hour. Enough
had been said to inspire every heart with just
sense of the glorious nature of the Anti-Slavery
enterprise.
AS for himself, If they wished to know aught
respecting his patriotism or picty, he had but a
single test to present-TnE SLAVE! lie had no
Constitution, no Union, no Country, no Bible, no
God aside from the SLAVE, until the hour when the
victim should be loosed from his chains lifted up
from j is degradation into the sunlight of heaven,
placed upon his feet, and recognized rs q whole
man (applauso) Eighteen hundred years ago,
an apostle. now honored a saint but then deem
cd madman and n hereto, boldly proclaimed,
=" am determined TO know nothing among YOU
save Jesus Christ and him crucifed"-not giorffed
but crucifcd, between two thievos-the worst of
them both. So, in n similar spirit, he trusted and
under analogous circumstances he (Nlr G.) was de-
ternincd to know nothing in this country, save
the slave and him branded rs a chattel (applause)
IL there had been time, he was going to give the
audience some refreshing "reminiscences in regard
to his clerical brethren, and their position touching
the Anti-Slayery cause (cries of :" Go on !" Mr..
c. then proceeded to show the extreme hostility Of
the clergy, generally, to that cause, and its un-
compromising advocates, for the last quarter Of
century and how severely they had impeachcd
the Judgment opposed the policy, and deprecated
the spirit and language of the Aboitionists-ac-
cusing the latter Of rotarding the work of cmanci
patton, and declaring that the Southern slavehod-
ers would yield listening car, if approached in n
suitable manner. Well, these clerical faultfnders
had at least tried their hand, "judicously" and
"piously'-as in the case of the pending Nebraska
bill-and with what result? Though only exhib-
iting morality, on this subject, bounded by sc
deg, 30 min. North latitude" and making no issue
whatever with Slavery it exists in fifteen States
Of the Union, they had, nevertheless been assailed
in the icrccst manner and with the vilcst epithets,
in Congress and out of it-a most righteous retri-
button Mr.. G. read extracts from Southern jour
nails, denouncing the clerical rcmonstrants, as
guilty of treason, blasphemy, &c. In concluding
his remarks, he said we were all shut up, Of ne
cessty to one Of two altcrnatiyes-either to give
battle, in the name Of God, to the Slave Power as
it presents ITSELF hdeous devil, or else openly to
deny that there is any God, and pay homage to
this devil, MS exalted above all that is called God
loud appausc).
The following resolution was then offered by Mr..
Garrison, which was adopted:
Resolved, That, at a time when the Churches Of
the land are for the most part closed againgt the
advocates of the slave, the thanks of this Society
are especially due to the trustees of the Broadway
Uniyersaist Society for permitting the American
Anti-Slayery Society to hold its Twcnty-frst Anni-
vcrsary in their house of worship; and that the
Secretary of this Society be instructed to send a
copy of this resolution to the trustees aforesaid.
After singing another Hymn, the Society ad-
