AMERICAN ANTI-SLAvERY SOCIETY.
SECOND DAY.


The attendance on the morning Of yesterday was
sensibly diminished. After the appointment of NOM
mating Committee, Mr.. MAY read letter from the
Rev. Mr. Mayo Of Albany declining to attend the ami
yerssries as he would require so much preparation
that il would distract him from the absorbing duties
Of his attempt to establish free church in the capital
ofthe State.
Some reference having been made to the Old School
Coyenaoters, MIR. JOHNSTON, minister OF tina. sect,
offered resolution that this Society knew nothing OF
its Anti Slavery character generally. The Society
preferred not to take that responsibility.
The Rev. w. III. FURNEss said that he had come to
this meeting as emphsticaly the religious meeting of
the week They were branded pOlti Sal dsturbers,
but be remembered that Jesus Christ was crucifed
political dsturber. One thing gave him much hope.
Until lately the decisions OF the Southern Courts,
where slaves were concerned, had always leaned
toward the slave. But had jus. heard that Judge
Danles of Virginia, had denied TO a slave the power
10 chot az between Freedom and Slavery. This show
ed q change. He understood it that Slavery now
found it necessary to avail itself OF Ill possible means
Of def nee.
In closing, he said: The n. Y. TRIBUNE and the Re-
publican party generally we're found discussing the
ouestiOn "a II il were whether not stephen A.
Douglas should be admitted into the Republican party
and Be its banner leader know no indication OF the
demorszed state of the political question and parties
more nc snoholy than this. Hear, near. Mr. Doug
las stood in the Senate and saw our friend CHARLES
Sumner blutay assaulted, without raising hngsr to
his rescue, and sferward gave some most lame ana
impotent apology.
Now sresk as the personal friend of Charles Sum
ner until he stands up in the Senate and before the
whole country and acknowledges his great sin his IN
humanity his borderrufisnisn he Is not to be taken
by the hand. I'' say 80 too.
Mr.. j. MILLER MCkIM said Of Pennsylvania, his
native State that with all her glorious past whenever
there was any dirty work to be done, che furnished
the men to do it. He cited great number OF ins:ancso
from Kane down TO Buchanan. But he pointed to the
late municipal election in Philsdelpha evidences
that there was change. The Quskers in the East,
and the Sootch.lrish in the West and the Puitans In
the North, and the Germans everywhere loved Free
dom.
Peprey,yana needed only education to make her one

The details Of its workings were very interesting. Inc
