TO uproot this Slavery. Our fOrefahers sowed the

South. To talk Of staying the encroachnents oil
Slavery WAS worse than madness. While politicians
had been talking tyrants had been working. Inc
whole North rad been turned into huuting-grOund,
and Southern bloodhounds had been baying ON our
soil and this iGqnity had eliminated IN the late Ia
famous decision of the Supreme Court. Our oniYpa

as there was from politicians. He believed that there
was no hope n the church. The only remedy laid IN
entire separation from Slavery politically ana ecclesl,

from tie churches what would become OF them
They would follow in the track OF the Jewish Church
when they prosecuted and crucifed the Savior; and
the Romish Church when it forsOOk Christianity.
They would fall-and God would not care. 50 with

The Rev. WV. II. FURSEss, ID. d., of Philadelphia,
was introduced. He said that he used 10 think
that one Of the simplest things golden rule-he
sin pie dictate Of Justice. But the antl-Slavery
movement had taught them differently. This na'lon
had vet to learn the true Specification OF the parable Of
the Good Samaritan. But the ant-Slavery movement
had done much to enlighten the world upon TINS We
had heard much Of Father Mathew aud kOssuth as
the advocates of human freedom abroad; but when
they came upon our soil, we found that they ignored
the question entirely. Kossuth was willing to do
anything for Hungary but not even 10 raise hiS
voice for humanity and when that question was pre-
scented to them, both suffered moral collapse, like
balloon rent asunder by the lightnings of God. The
friends Of this movement engaged In
no political scheme. They mere not seeking

sous. As 10 doing away with Slavery by gradual
emancipation, be thought suggestion to thief to
stop stealing gradually would be quite analogous
Ir forty thousand churches it considered sacr-
lege TO speak word therein in favor Of our wrOnged
and prosecuted brother. There were many parallel
isms between this modern phariseeism aud the an
Gent He would challenge any race 10 abuse the sa-
cred gift of Freedom more than We had, and yet II
was said that race Of beings now IN slavery could
not take Of Themselves What bad We lateiy
seen declared by the highest Court in this country =
that the cOlOied man had no rights which white
nan was bound to respect. They wished to every
slave liberated by the action Of the Shareholders. 10
do this they wished only fair held-that they be al
lowed to speak the truth. They needed no muskcts
nor aims 10 assist them, Dul ohly inc Nuth Hco'F

CHARLTs LENNON RENoYD was the next speaker
He spoke in terms of reprObeton of the decision OF the
Supreme Court of the United States He asserted the
rights of the colored man equality with any man
right on par with any living man, as citizen oi TINS
country In view of the fact that colored men were
found shoulder to shoulder with white men on every
haiti, plouud of this country, Judge Tauey should
have closed his lips when he sought TO utter the
iniQuitous decision he had rendered. The speaker
regretted that his grandfather, q colOred man,
had fought at Lexington and Concord, when,
eighty years after the descendants OF white parrots
of the Revolution ignored The rights of the
small minority of the people Of this country. But
this meanness Of the white people was only exceeded
BY its cowsrdice-a cOwardce which could deny 10
the colored man at Washington any participation In
carrying the msi.bags, but would educate Newiound-
land DE- &c do it; and which, while would educate
those dogs would break up school at Washington,
the purpose Of which was TO educate colored children

erpment 10 be stay TO progress when the Tght OIL
minority were trampled IN the dust. he excepted the
opinion Of Webster, that government was instituted
to protect property. Property was protected Dy IN
stnct while intellect and the voice alone linked US 10
the Almighty. Government, when II ceased to pro-
tect the right OF the minority, was nuisance we
stood to-day not as favorably foefathes did at
the Revolution. Not historic rnal OF the Revolu-
ton died without leaving protest against human
Slavery. Everything had progressed elsewhere.
Democracy had tenfold more influence IN Eu-
rope than il did 60 years ago. The Cars OF Russia
would not have dared 10 carry out a fugitive slave
law. He ruled there not by the power of his right
arm, but by the acquiescence of public opinion; and
when monarchy went contrary to public opinion, the
dagger and the cup of poison were the check against
It's encroachments. Public opinion here was die
tated by Slavery. There were three strands 10
the cable of Slavery. The first money,
500 COO 600 invested in human property, this
moral Gues;ion-no question of aesthetics-no ques

the the mount of Wall stTeet-there the sin
Of being poor only exceeded by the refusal Try
to become rich. The next strand OF the cable was
