The report also stated that u large portion
OF the Society and Of the Committee are now inn
dressed with the belief that more direct efforts
should be made than heretofore for the abolition Of
in the United States; that the sinfulness,
illegality and unconstitutiOnality Of human sld-
very should be inculcated. The establishment Of
n new Society, called the abolition Society of
New York city and vicinity" was f~avorably re-
fcrred to; the object Of which was stated to I've "to
secure the Immediate and unconditional abolition
of American Slavery. The report further states
that the only hope of the peaceful abolition Of
Slavery seems to rest in the adoption of such prin-
ciplos with corresponding action by the people of.
this country. In the extension and prevalence of
these principles the expectation is that the most
eccursed system of iniquity that now disgraccs
this country and insults the living God, in the
persons of poor oppressed slaves, will be Drought
to an end.
Several resolutions were adopted for the further
snee of the S1ciety's plans, and the officers Of the
past year were reelected.
The following were declared rs the sentiments OF
the New Abolition Society:
|. Slaveholdiug is sinful, illegal and unconstitu.
tonal. 1t has no right to he in the Church or in
the State. 1t is to be excluded from the former as
u scandal, and prohibited by the latter as a crime.
It's not sanctioned by the Bible or the C%onstitu-
tion, but is condemned by both.
.. 1t is the duty Of the Federal Government in
~ W. HNEhAN'NN'N'f " fIIhNS
throughout the United States.
3. 1t is the duty Of the several State Govern
ments to sustain the Federal Government in this
measure, to protect their citizens and all who touch
their soil, from seizures by kidnappers and slave
holders, under the Fugitive Slave bill or otherwise
to make all attempts Mt the execution OF that I'M
constitutional and atrocious act a penal offence
and to extend the right of suffrage and eligibility
to ofsee to all their citizens, irrespective Of race or
complexion.
t. 1t is the duty Of the citizens, at the tallot-box,
to provide State and National Administrations that
will make these measures paramount objects of
their activity to secure a Judiciary that will exc
cute justice to vote for such candidates for Office,
aud for such only, as are tried friends Of the slave
and publicly known to be earnestly engaged in pro.
noting these measures.
). 1t is the duty of Christians to hold no church
relations that involve religious fellowship or cccie-
~siasticai connection with Shareholders. 1t is alsC
their duty to sustain no Missionary Society having
completely with slaveholding, nor any Tract Soci
ETY., or o,her religious publishing Society that does
not rebuke the heinous sin of slavoLolding, in com
mon with other sins.

After n short debate on the report and the future
action Of the Society, the meeting adjourned sine
die, at 10! o'clock.
At the Meeting Of the American and Foreign
Bible Society there seems to have been a perfor.
nance not set down in the bills, but which the
meeting disposed of in a very adroit manner; and
which will be set down to its credit.
Mr.. LuRsford Lane, a colored gentleman of Bos
ton presented himself on the platform and com.
planned that the colored race were not considered
in the projected distribution of Bibles. The Tri
bune reports Mr.. Lanes speech in part, as fol
lows:
'He had joined the Baptist Church so years ag
not from any knowledge of the difference between
it and other Churches, but because his grandmotl
CT and mother had been Baptists; he had himsel
been educated in the Episcopalian Church-tha
is, as a carriage-driver to his master (for he was
slave) he used to 60 in there, aud he had hear
such men as Bishop Ravenscroft and Bishop Ives
but he soon found out their turnings. Latterly
having examined, he liked the Baptists still; h
liked them even more, but (he said) don't tax
too much congratulction to yourselves for thr
(Laughterl. l came here, and people said to nj
What do you do here? Your place is Massach,
sets. l staid here, however, and went to see d
Hawks, whom | knew when l was a boy ava
down there in Csraina; and he received me mo,
warmly, with a shake of the hands and a tai
about things that happened long ago when we use
to be together. ! also called on the Rev. Mr.. LA
scy, who is now, l hope, bathed in the food
living light, and he, too, gave nfe that real aid
which you all speak so much. But qEy object
to say that the people of my color, North and Sout
are degraded and unenlightened; and the light
not reached to them because it is not popular so
do. l have been here at a meeting to worshi
among people OF my color; they remained from
to IL o'clock, and worked violently till prespiry
tion ran down their faces; in this there was no o
der, no propriety; not one, when the service WI
over, could repeat a clear idea be had therein +
ccived. 1t is the same everywhere. And perha,
this is what you mean by saying that the negro
are happy; meaning that Ignorance is bliss
(Lauahter). Now, what we want IS intellige
ministers. How is this to be done? Money mu
be had, and our preachers must be Of our own pc
pie. Do not suppose | am come here to ''torme
you before your time" (Laughter.); but our IA
wants this assistance, and this is what | want
come at. You all agree that one soul is worth
the gold Of California and Australia; and what d
ference does it make whether the soul is black
white, grizzled or gray ? Laughter. We do n
want you to send assistance beyond the ocean, b
to Boston | have come here to get it and carry
away. | van. it now, when you are all togethe
because if you separate it will be impossible
catch you again; like the man who could count
his pigs but one, but tina; KEEP, running around
that it could not be counted. Laughter
