He would twist of the southern gentry heads rather
than be slave. Perhaps they did not CAL tins non
resistance but he didn't profess TO be nOn-Tesbant-
he had been twenty-five years preacher and could
not be expected 10 have reached such high standard
Of psty. The speaker then dIated I'm the probable

future. But you say that are impracticable IN our

IL very condemnatory language: They let the Old
wolves alone and try 10 catch the young ones,
but they, miserable hunters, hadn't caught the

New-York, subscribed TO the Compromise of
1850, and by 90 doing to the Fugitive Slave biu;
John 2. Hale went to Washington with a large and
manly soul but since he arrived there he had become
shriveled in soul and body Charles Sumner stood it
well, but he got broken head. He ADVISED us to
recognize the manhood Of the slave. But that would
be treason. But must have treason or be damned.
Mr. Foss here alluded TO the Tract Society and their
course and the course of the Church generally in re-
gard to Slavery. The drunkaTd in the grog-shOp
would say that 1.-THE ID niggers were fit for
"nothipg but for slaves" and iDr. Spring said the
same in his pulpit but in different vernacuar. tie
had spoken paiuIy and harshiy' aud he meant 10 20

Mrs FOSTER followed Mr. Foss, with few remarks
h. regard TO the object OF the Society. She thanked
God that Kansas not saved from the Slave Power,
because if il had been the South Carolina slave would
still remain in bondage She then passed through the
audience TO take collection for the benefit OF the 80
siety
M. GARRIsoN remarked that before they could
accomplish their work change must be wrought in
the public sentiment. We had all been educated in
caste-a color MANIA lie hoped that in contributing,
they would feel that they settling an old account.
The receipts Of the Society during the past year
about SI9 Co., He hoped that those who wanted 10 |
see the cause successful would put their hand gen.
erously and noby to the paper.
The Rev. Mr.. FROTHINGHAM was next introducedto |
U,e audience. He wished to 60 back year OF two |
and review the events that had occurred and in this
connection he alluded to the last speech OF Sumner IN
Congress and the assault upon him, to the repeal OF
the Missouri Compromise and the consequent agitation
Of the subject Of Slavery in our country. The open
ing of the African sGve-trade was openly advocated
In the last political contest the question was whether
Kansas should he free not. Men OF leters authors,
editors and cergynen left therabors and entered the
field as champions. Here the speaker alluded TO the
wrongs Of Kansas saying that from all this mass the Re-
publican party had TO select their garments. The |
cause Of liberty never had such political opportunity
and probably never would again; and what was the
result of this contest Why, the election of Mr.. |
Buchanan Mr. Pierce's sweeping success was no.
thing compared with that OF Mr.. Buchanan, Mr.. |
Buchanan might have thrown away fOuriiths of his
Southern votes anu then been victorious. This showed
that the North cared but little about the extension
ten with the AntiiSsvery Society. The Republican
psrty were careful not have antislavery name,
and yet they were defeated. This showed that the
snti-slavery sentiment of the North was at very low
ebb Political considerations were paramount and il
was impossible to make men act without reference 10
them. We might compel animals to serve u.s. but we
must beware how ensave man. Our first principle
il justice for the black mana race that has
been degraded stolen, bartered and beaten-that
has been demoralized that they might be ens!ayed
II the white man has suffered by the institution OF
Slavery il is because he has made the black man SUIT
fer frat. We demand the emancipation OF the slave
for Justice sake. IL s not enough that Slavery will
die out because il don't pay. The position that the
Society have taken, thot they will have connection
with slsyehOders is in order that they may not be in
struments for Strengthening the Slave Power 1t is
said that We have furnished statesmen. But the
country from the beginning has furnished no states
who have furnished any measure equal TO that of
nv friend Mr., Garrison and he is not called state-
man.
