Mass Meeting in Fsnueil Hall.

Cor. oIsprIa, 81 sia.., presided at Z
mar melting held in Fsnusil ban on sAs'
urdAy evening, 70 espru. tho isdisnatiou
felt by the citizens Of Boston at the violsocs
'pcrpetntcd on Senator summer. The hall
was entirely fillcd-fve thousand people BE-
ing prescnt-and thousands unable to gain
admittance.+ Among the Vice Prcsidcnta
were men Of oil parties. :, Gov. Gardiner. on
taking the chair, made a strong speech,
which was received with great cheering
He said that the meeting was called "sim.
ply and solely because Senator of Mnsa-
chusetts has boen assaulted with grossncsa
and brutality which history, until now, had
never written upon her pages" and "that
while Mr.. Sumner Is in the Senate, he would
do all in his power and ability to strength.
en- his arm and aid him in his professional
duties" The meeting was addressed by
Hon. Samuel II. VALLEY, Hon. P. W. Chan
der, and Others, and the following rcsolu-
tons adopted
Resolved, That we have heard with grief
and Indignation of the brutal assault COM
mitted upon our esteemed Senator, CHARLES
SUMNER, for words spoken in debate, and oil
the insult offered in his person to the honor
Of our Commonwealth.
Resolved, That in this outrage, We zee
encroachments upon freedom new viola.
tions of State rights and strange disregard
of chivalrous principles, while in the con.
duct Of such men rs Crittcnden we gladly
recognize proofs Of the fact that in all sec
tons of the country there are men OF honor,
Of pure principles, and Of true patriotism.
Resolved, That this attack Is to be rebuk.
ed, not only as cowardly assault upon q
defenceless man, but as q crime against the
right of free speech, and the dignity Of q
free State.
Resolved, That as American citizens, we
deeply lament the odium which such acts
cast upon our country, and upon the cause
of Republication throughout the world.
Resolved, that although sixty-eight mem
bers of the national House OF Representa-
tiyes have voted that they think no inquiry
upon the Outrage is necessary, still We feel
confident that Congress will free itself from
the shame and crime by cxpelling the Offend
from the seat which he disgnces.
Resolved, That we regard every blow In.
flicted upon our Senator as blow aimed at
us, that in our estimation his wounds are
honorable wounds; that a. citizens oil Mas
sachusctts, without distinction OF party, we
pledge him in old Panuiel Hall, our sympa-
thy and support in the fearless and indie
pendent discharge of his duty.

IIoRsrs, CARRIAGES, HARNESSES, INV

ing Of an elegant carriage, neat and tasty
Harness, such an one as Mr.. Simpson can
get up, with spirited and snowy Horse to
match, generally flls no uncomfortable space
in our eye. Several such have appeared in
our streets recently. One Of them belonging
to friend, we hope to have an opportunity
Of testing its merits soon. We hold our.
selves in readiness to accompany him to the
Beach or to the Pool, the fst fair day .hen
" school does not keep" and lcerning for
ourselves whether there Is comfort and speed
rs well as elegance and show In his turnout.
And now having disposed Of this pirate
team and invited ourselves to ride, we feel
called to say word moro about teams for
public use, good harnesses, DC. Our towns
men, W. p. L S. Gowen, have recently al.
dcd to their establishment scvcrnl elegant
and snowy Carriages, span new, with Ilar.
ncsscs as beautiful as they can be well made,
which are little beyond anything We have
seen always excepting our friends tsam,)
in that line for sometime. Tho Carriages,
one four wheeled, the other ehaisc, are
from the Mandatory Of JAS. NJ. KmBlIL
in Portland, and for elegance, comfort and
workmanship, are equal to any made out Of
tho State. The Harnesses to match were
made by Mr.. Z. SIMPSON Of this city, who
has done the work Of the Messr. Gowen In
the Harness line for the past six years and to
their complete satisfaction. We like this
idea of patroniring home manufactures, and
70 long as Mr.. Simpson can get up such work
as this to which we refer there Is no necessi.
ty for going abroad for work in the harness
line. o., ..
We would just'remark in conclusion that
without the right kind Of horses, these car
riages would DO rather useless property
The MeSrs Gowcn, understanding this. hyo
in their stable Horses to correspond, beauti-
full and spirited animals precisely such an
one VIII, likes Horse would take pleasure
in driving. A visit to the Beach or to the
Pool in pleasant day with such tom rs
the Mcssrs. Gowen can furnish, would not
be an unpleasant operation. When We
charter team, VIC shall thank them to let
us have the sorrcll horse, thenew chaise, and
that elegant S55 harness. When an Editor
rides for pleasure he should have the best
turnout the city boasts.

The reign of terror in Kansas.

The telegmphlc news from Kansas con
tinues to be of tho most exciting character.
The reign of terror has commenced. We
give the accounts in another place by which
il will be seen that the unauthorized terri
torial authorities backed by the Missourians,
have attacked Lawrence, burnt its public
buildings, and committed other enormities.
Free State blood has again flowed, but to
what extent is not known. The people of
Lawrence demanded protection from their
ruthless invaders, by tho United States for.
ccs, but it was not granted. As matters
now stand, the Missourians backed as they
arc by the United States authority, we fear
will be able to drive from tho territory the
Free State men. II looks dark for the cause
Of freedom there. The beginning of the
end of the repeal of the Missouri Comprom-
ise is coming into view. f'1i fd'l'

Bishop Meade arraignsd for Preach ing
Incendiary Doctrines.

Some weeks ago we had occasion TO chron-
icle the expulsion Of school-teaeher from
the State OF Virginia, for venturing to take
the side of freedom in debating society, in
Loudon county, upon n question involy
ing the relative advantages OF freedom and
slavery in Kansas. The appetite Of Gov
wise's constituents for prescription seems to
have grown by what il fed on. They are
now hunting higher game. The venerable
bishop of the diocese OF Virginia has incurred
their suspicion, and we presume is to be
hunted out of the State for his inability TO
keep up with the progressive sentiment Of the
State upon the subject Of slavery. Ii seems
that he had occasion recently TO administer
the rite of confirmation to eight or ten slaves
in Brunswick, and Is reported to have re-
marked on the occasion, among other en-
couraging things, that he never felt himself
" more highly honorcd than when allowedto
confirm slave" For this he Is arraigned
BY correspondent Of the Southside Demo-
crat, who says " the people are very much
against him !" that " he ought not to be
tolerated !" and that If the Bishop "feels
himself called upon to administer to free
spiritual wants OF negroes 30 particularly, as
Irrc Statc ~ inc DtSt nctu VI iaoof ior nihi.
In other words, Episcopal ministation to
the spiritual wants Of the slave Is an offence
at war with the political and social repose Of
the State and must be stopped.
Bishop Meade is one Of the oldest Bishops
Of the Episcopal church; no belongs 10 what
il termed the Low Church division Of that
denomination he is neither fanatic nor an
incendiary. but pious old gentleman, who
doubtlcss felt the superior JOY which he ex-
pressed, over ono penitent slave than over
ninety nine FREQ persons whose opportn-
mites Of receiving religious impressions were
much less limited.
Il will greatly surprise US IL the church Of
the United States d not soon forced to crap
pie with the question which lies at the root
Of all slavery has the bondman soul to be
saved, and does he belong 70 that race OF
CREATURES" 30 every one ofwhich the dis
ciples Of Christ were directed 10 preach the
gospel. If no has soul TO be saved he
doe and IL he does, 10 win be no longer
poxibls for the church 10 wink at an instr
tuition which cuts on whole race Of men
from those divinely instituted consultations
which the church profeses TO be specially
commissioned 70 administcr.-N. Y. Posi-.
