There was power enough in any slave pop

- Tbs society had been charged with being
an inadel society, because il tolerated every

The society was neutral and admitted all

We might extend these extracts, but it is
eedless. They are sufficient to show the real
7irit Of the men who lead this anti-slavery :
citation. Because the Bible recognizes the
iwfuness Of slavery, they are willing to es-
1ew the Bible and tTample it under foot
'hen they Tspudiste the Bible, what else cen
0me but infdelity? When they leap from the
latfOrm Of faith and revelation, it car only be
, be onveloped in the dark and wild chaos Of
and speculation.
Rid Of the Bible, they can have no trouble

le land out Of the way, no other Law can meet

course, the subject Of mockery and defiance
he Bible, the Constitution, the slavery laws
roken, what other laws can command their

le laws recognizing the relation Of husband
ID wife. The case Of Kalloeh affords a sam
ie Of the sentiment sngendered, if not taught,
D that subject.
At another meeting, during the week, in
sw York, chiefly Of the same class Of persons
ON whom we have been quoting, we fud the
line infdel sentiments promulgated in another
'rm. This was woman's rights meeting;
Miss Anthony said that they had assem-
led for the purpose Of endsaForing to satisfy
e people that sex, as well as color, should
u be reason fer depriFiug human being Of
slieaable rights. n
" Miss Anthony then read a sketch Of the
oman's rights movement, prepared BY Mrs.
liza Cady Stanton, Of Seneca Falls, and as
iiing men generally, and especially Christian
en- and anti i-wonsn's rights men," !,
As, in the other meeting, they would recog- |
ze no christianity which did not arm the
ave with a poignard and Wrest him from
,ndage so, in this meeting, it is claimed that
ere is no christianity which does not recog-
re the independence Of sex as well as Of col
:, and does not preach emancipation for
oman.
" Stephen Pearl Andrews addressed the chair
oman, saying be wanted to know whether be
as welcome here. He had been present at
le convention for seven or eight years, and
ad never yet spoken in the meetings. He

sled them to admit him, though she majority
'ould condemn the opinions which he held. In
is apprehension the words in one Of the reso-
ltioEs, Z" wholly free" were more significant
lln intended. He thought the vital question
{ marriage should be considered in a woman's

q his views and asked whether the questions
