An Indignation meeting Of the minority of
the Tract Society was held last Thursday eve
ninr in DIR. Chceyer's church. Dr. Cheever
opened with the 18th cbapter of Ezekiel, which
contains one Of those terrible dcnuncations, with
which tho Bible abounds, against the oppressor
and those who "daub with untempered mortar;"
and armed with these sacred texts, he uttered the
most fearful philippe against the Tract Society,
that has very lately been pronounced against any
sinner. whether single or corporate. DR.. Chcever
is endowed with the 1arest gift Of tongue, backed
up by a battery of brain of thorough culture and
immcnse mower. His action is intense and randi
and his vocal tones various q. the musical octave
and there he stood, in his pulpit the sublime per-
'onifcation Of moral vengeance. lie seemed one
vast park of Bible artillery compressed in little,
Illuminating his denunciations, and hurting his
chain-lig htning with certainty cf aim and car
nestness Of purpose that drew forth thunders Of
answering applause. His sentences arc barbcd ar
rows, inextrcabe where they strike and he wrought
up that vast audience to swell Of indigna-
ton, which, though it may ebb some, will flow
more, till the powerful institution which is the OBJ
ject Of tack shall remember the poor in his ex-
| tremity," and no longer take the part Of the op-
pressor against him. John Jay, Esq, Dr. Thomp-
son and especially DR.. Tying, took up the theme
after DR.. Cheever, and the righteous anger Of
mighty men did not flag till the end.

The topic then took turn to whether il was
useful to add lime to ashes as a fertilizer, and
| Prof. Mapos gave very interesting statement as
to lime and its use in connection with ashes. As
