TIE AMERICAN TRACT SOCIETY.
AN EXCITING DISCUSSION.
The Shareholders Triumphant.

Lafayette Place, yesterday morning, was the scene
Of unusual excitement The Annual Meeting Of the
Tract Society, which was announced to be he'd in the
Collegiate Church. caused that edi6ce to be surrounded
soon after 8 o'clock by thropg Of pereons eager to
obtain admittance. The arrangements, however, to
admit rome but male lie directors and life members,
and them only when presenting tickets of admission,
compelled large numbers to 60 from the place without
being able to obtain admttance.
Five policemen were stationed in front Of the chutch,
and though their services were not required the scenes
of disorder which were subsequently enacted in the
building were yet tumultuous and disordery. Before
9 O'Clock the body and galleries Of the house were
filled, and at later hour large numbers were COM
PEELED to stand in the asles.
At O'Clock, ChiefJustce WILLIAMS of Connecti-
cut the first Vice President Of the Society, took
the chair and called the meeting to order. The
proceedings opened with prayer by the Rev. Dr.
PLrAER. The report of the Executive Committee
was then read by the Rev. DIR. ADAMS OF New
