Fast Day. or the Government Sunday, was not
made remarkable by any great sermons The Rev.
DIR. Huntington preached Oh the reyyals, making il
quasi reply 10 Theodore Parker's attack upon the
movement. The Rev. DR.. H., perhaps, considers
himself personally ,stirized in Parkers remarks
about those nltarians who sought to get up rev.
val some time ago. The Rev. T. :. King OF the
IIos-street Church took ground against the rev.
val almost ss strongly as Mr. Parker. Judging by
the fact that brisk discussion las commenced as
10 the value and tendency of the great awakening,
infer that the religious interest IN II - gvlng way
Opy one Anti Slavery sermon, 80 far as can hear
WAS preached in Boston on Fast Day, and that was
by the Rev Mr. Haskell Of UaShtngtoR, ID. 4.
The occasion has usually been taken for Ant-Savery
purposes the change oi tone gives rise IL TIE Sis
picon that Mr.. Parker may oe rght when he says
that the revival will make church members, bt
viii not oppose the rum trade, nor the trade III
=" coolies. nor the trade in African or American
slaves" Indeed il appears that the Rev. Seth
Bliss and his brethren OF the Tract Society who are
irving bv devices that would disgrace
Tombs LAWYER, TO find some p.susble ex-
cuses for dsobeying the orders OF their supe-
riors in relation 10 the publication Of tracts on the
subject Of Slavery, art taking this opportunity 10
make new converts 10 their dsorganizng doctrines.
Within few days letters from Hunker politicians
and clergymen have been paraded IN our neWspa
ment in favor of the dishonest course which the
Publishing Committee of the Society has pursued
in preparation for the struggle which they fore
see will take place. Mr.. Choate and Dir. Winthrop
both inform the Rev. Mr. Bliss that they think 1e
has made out n very strong case in hls letters on
the subject. Choate tells him that - OF those con-
sderations of fitness, nationality honesty and
honor on which the Society nave acted, he does
not see how ." any torer Of the tRioR, or any sd-
.minstrator OF trust funds III the existing state of
feeling can make complaint" Winthrop says it
mas been his long-cherished opinion that Anti
Slavery essays do not rightfully enter into the
province Of the Society and that they would he
fatal AZ once to lis unity and usefulness" The
future action Of the Society this question will be
a GOOD test of the value of ,he recent religions
awakening in instiIing into the people right IDEAS
not If Christian duly merely, but of common hon
esiv and integrity. There is not bank factory or
railroad in New-England that would Tolerate IN lis
directors such disregard Of Instructions and such
souhistical and dishonest therefor, have
been shown in this by the managing men Of the
Trsct Society.
The controversy in relation 10 the removal Of the
Post.Offce still continues, the sst demonstration
being Al able letter from the Postmaster himself
reviewing the whole case aud giving his reasons for
selecting the Summer-street site. Tie Postmaster
announces that he has been authorized 70 provide
better accommodations for rhe deposit of letters by
having suitable wroughtlron boxes strongly fastened
TO certain buildings within distances not exceeding
