dom are now holding the anniversary OF
their society. The hall, as usual on
such occasions, is crowded each day
with a motley mass of all kinds of peo-
pie, black and white, and all kinds of
sexes, masculine, feminine, %neuter, and
all kinds of religious, save that of
Christ and the Bible. The speeches
made the first day, if possible, were
more pestilent in Atheism, moral trea-
son, abuse of the Deity, eur Govern
ment and all its wise, institutions, and
all who ever stood at its head from
Washington down to the present exalted
Chief Magistrate, than had distinguish
ed any preceding similar occasions. To
give the reader amere skeleton idea of
how these pestilent ranters go on, We
have condensed the following from the
speeches of the second day. c. L. Re-
mond had the stand. He is a darkey
of natural and untarnished ebony, and
evidently a favorite "brick" among his
white brethren
Washington, he said, was one of the
first shareholders and owners In this
country, and he therefore hated him
and ali his race. This remark called
forth quite a storm of Kisses, for which
Remond returned his thanks, consider
ing them, he said, a compliment to a
colore speaker. Being in a combative
mood, Remond next attacked his friends
for their lukewarmness in the anti-sla-
very cause. He wanted. every good friend
of the slave to be considered as black
as himself, with hair as curly and nose
as pug The Inconsistency of the AbOl-
i~tionists was berated most soundly, and
ne concluded with the prayerful hope
that white Americans and their %institu-
tons may be dashed in pieces. as he
looked upon them as being damnable
and dcviIish.
H. {. Wright followed. His first
lunge was at the American Tract Socie-
ty. He said
He did not wish to belong to any So
ciety that recognizes the American God,
who is an infinite kidnappcr: seller of
babies by the pound, and opposer of
marriage among -four millions of our
people. TAppfause. The whole con-
ception of God in this county is of a
deity who brands a coiorcd man as in
ferior to the white race. He despiscd
:. this God, and cared not if he was called
: an atheist. The Anglo-Saxon race he
looked upon as the worst of robbers,
kidnappers, thieves, murderers, pirates,
hypocrites and liars; and it sickened him
to hear the eternal br~aggadocio about
: the superiority of the Anglo-Saxons
II over Africans. There is not q nation on
e the face of the earth that is an equal to
America for stealing and murder, and
) vet it is called an asylum for the OPP
pressed of every nation. lie hoped to
live long enough to See the Union dis
solved and the formation of a Northern
a C~onfederacy. The last sentiment was
received with prolonged applause.
In the afternoon, after a little atten-
ton to business, Parker Pillsbury, the
most pcstilent of all the pestilents, got
to off a large quantity of poctical bile
. Just hear him:
During the past year he had seer
enough to satisfy any reasonable man
at that the clergy are a set of intol trable
e. hypocrites, and he believed that if the
re recent church revival had been as ma
to lignant in Boston as in New York Tho
W Tract Society here would have imitateC
err the New York Society. The God wor-
Mt shipped at the business mems prayer
le meetings he had no doubt was the Goo
T. of Mammon, and when the converts al
s. those meetings reach the kingdom o
II heaven their first enquiry will be for the
r Brokers. Board, and they will dig up
lie the golden pavements in the streets o.
" the New Jerusalem, and with then
I'd build mills and factories, the noise o
n, which will drown the anthems sung By
M the morning stars. Daniel Webster, h
IN said, was always excessively religion
whenever he was about to- serve tn
ed devil. During the recent, as well n
r other revivals, he had not heard of
ee single slave e~mancipated by any of TIL
converts. IF a slave got converted hi
re value increased to such an extent tina
his pious master could not afford to par
nj with him. So far rs his observation
he had extended, he said that he had founC
r. that church revivals have always beer
follawed by some new species of diabol
ism, either national or sectional.
There! We cannot affcrd to regal
our readers, in one day, with a larg
he dish from the sinking cauldron o fthes
