After ne had ended, Mr.. Secretary Eastman arose
and tried style of oraory upon the meeting which,
without wishing 10 be irreyereDt desire 10 describe
as the holy whine; showing how he and all the rest
of his bshng friends only wanted 10 do their
DUTY how that dreadful Idp' Hdsn had done all the
mischief and how 1.-The salnted DR.. knox, now in
heaven" had lamented over sad Isdcp.ad,U when
he saw him last
But the meeting absolutely snckered at Brother
Eastman and he wilted, not hall through.
Then several questions failed to make the Secre-
tares admit that tract embodyng the teachings OF
the whole Bible would be- published, or that anything
would be published on the question now up in one,
two, three, or ten year, Ana several questions
nit was about all that the Secretaries could do

Stephenson, who by this time was excoriated little
out of his temper-and no wonder, considering that
Brother Eastman kept up fire in his rear, pulling
him down, putting him up, and telling him what to
say, and what not TO- beside the battery in front,
which lie could not silence but which kept silencng
hin-Mr. Stephenson answered with some acdity,
that they had expunged only three times, and had
published against Slavery five hundred times.
The Rev. Mr.. Colonization Agent circuit here put
in dexterous inquiry the part of the Secretaries,
whether there n Spclety for the
pose Of publishing tracts against Slavery-and the
Secretaries gladly answered Yes
But another hearer protested against sending of to
that Society men who had contributed 10 the capital
OF the present one and wanted to say something
about managing il.
The Rev. Walter Clark tried to get in nice resolu-
ton about the courtesy and fankness of the Seereta
ries in explaining; but it was NJ go at all, and was
Withdrawn.
The meeting adjourned, with happy feeling on the
part Of the majority: but the rest ielt-or
ainly entitled to fee-as if they had been treated
the good Colonel Netherland treated his wicked boy
Abel was that the name !hat is, fairly fayed alive
have more to say, except just that l. There had
evidently had been attempt Ia cut and dry the
meeting and get it over with result. .. The Sec
retaries did not answer question straight when
they could dodge il, and were than once fairly
left speecess g. Some of the devoted friends OF the
Tract Society have doubled their subscriptions, but
this will not prevent them from losing seriously here
As previously safe subs riber told the senior Secre
tary, You'll find very poor picking about here, Mr.
