cause, one who had labored in season and out OF
season, was
Chorles c. Burleigh, whom he now introduced
Applausel This was no child's-play-Mr. Bur-
leigh said. The enemy against whom they were
arrayed was no triiing power. The conflict was
between the deep conviction of the human soul
and the consolidated power of 49, 00, 100000. lie
had not come to convince them that Slavery was R
sin and ~ crime, a curse and a calamity. To do
that he would only have to open the statute books.
They took the ground not that Slavery was an evil
merely, but that it was a crime, under all condi-
tons, morally, essentially wrong, and a sin against
God. They said further that what it was wrong

Crazy Kate here interrupted the speaker with
"Ah! you talk about clevating the niggers, and
you let your grave-yards be dug up" There was
considerable uproar, and she went out amid misses
and cheers. Mr.. Burleigh then proceeded to de-
tail the provisions of the Constitution which coun'
tenanccd and supported the slave system. If the
Government was not in favor Of Slavery, why was
it that Kansas was ut under martial law by gangs
of Missouri %ruGians, arpcd with pistols and
bowie.knives. and making the ballotbox the instrn-
ment of rs gross an act Of tyranny as ever yet was
perpetrated against the rights Of q free people?
Therefore it was that they would have nothing to
do with the Government. They would have moth

blood. No union with shareholders Loud APP

Oliver johnson said he had been requested by
; the Committee to present a question of practical
interest. puring the week large meetings had
/, been held, and perhaps some had become interested
in the objects of the Society. They were publish

: tons or pledges to aid in it.
VIM. LLOYD Garrison, of Boston, was the next
e speaker. lie said that much rs he abhorred the
Constitution, there was one clause in it that he
fully concurred in, that there shall be no cruel
and unusual punishment inflicted upon any per-
, SON." For the last three days he had been so en-.
tircly absorbed in his attendance on Anti-Slavery
meetings that he was physically and mentally in a
state Of collapse, and for him to be called on to

He proceeded to demonstrate that every man who
said anything against Slavery received as great a
measure of hatred and calumny as he who said
most. Cass was howled at all over the South for
saying he thanked God that he was born in a Free
State. Claiming, for writing a mild book upon
, Slavery, was complimented in Congress as playing
second fiddle to Garrison. When men went into II
Territory and set up a press to discuss the question
of Slavery, where WAS the Constitution then? The
