iOAh' 4hnl
The weather to-day has been anything
but favorable FOR those attending ami
versaries. but, notwithstanding the pelt-
ing of the north-easter, the audience at
Metropolitan theatre was quite large. and
the anti slavery folks had good time
keeping the anniversary of their society.
Ii appears bY a report Of the Treasurer.
that the receipts OF the society for the
past year have been S35. 466 SO; expen-
ditures S29 673 60: leaving a balance
on hand Of S5.793 %. The following
resolutions were offered BY the president,
VIM. L. Garrison. and discussed By the
Rev. Antiuneue l.. Brown. Theodore
Parker, Wendell Phillips, Mr.. Garrison,
and others:
Rcsolued. That Of all systems existing
in the world. American slavery is the
most me rciless towards its victims. the
most murderous in its spirit, the most
demoralizing in its influences. the most
hideous in its features. and the most ca
lam;tous in its operations.
ResslUed. That its immediate and un-
conditional abolition is the primary and
paramount duty Of this nation. before
which all other questions fall into insig-
nincance-aii other issues are dust In
the balance.
Resolred. That. for the continuance
and extension Of slavery on eur soil, the
American church and clergy, with hon
orable but rare exceptions. are promin
emily guilty. in that they have thrown
over it the mantle Of Christianity, de
clared it 10 be in accordance with she
will Of God. branded the anti-slavery
movement as iniidel in its spirit and OBJ
lect, and admitted to the communion ia
Bile such as make merchandise Of human
bodies and immortal souls.
Resolued, That such church is in the
graphic language of Scripture. "a cage
Of unclean birds. and The synagogue OF
Satan,' and that such religious teachers
are wolves in sleeps clothing, watch
men that are blinded.
Resolved. That, in the language of
Patrick Henry. it is duty we owe the
purity of our religion to show that it is
at variance with the law which warrants
slavery.

the prospect Of Kansas being free State.
The extract is taken from the number of
that paper. dated April 9TH. 1t is alto
gether possible however. that know moth.
ingism in the north knows more about
the prospects of the freedom of Kansas,
than either the Herald or the Governor
of the Territory himself. But let the
Herald o: Freedom speak for itself:
KANSAS FREE STATE.-We asserted
some time ago that Kansas would be o
free STATE. let Missourians buster as
much az they would. and We renew that
assertion with more confidence than ev-
or. AT The taking of the census in Feb
ruary last. every election district in the
territory was found TO have respecta Bile
majority of voters from the free States
Had il been otherwise, does any one sup
pose our pro slavery neighbors on the 9th.
er side of the line would have deemed il
necessary to have incurred so great an ex-
pense to import voters by the thousand to
gain political ascendency!
