the recent Inauguration OF the Webster sta, lie
lsIneuied that the people failed TO honor ther uns
b.roes ard exhorted the Churches to come up 20 the
objects Of the Society.
The Hon Henry Wilson, United States Senator from
Massachusetts,, was Ie1t introduced 70 tue audience
ard delivered hinself Of very sensible serious and
ucicous address that would bring the blush OF shame
10 the cheek Of mary doctora diyiues and church
members. He said that il with great reluctance
that be responded to the call which hat oeen male
upon him, because he was To. q me nber OF any
church, and therefore could not speak for them An
ether was that pubic man like himself could
not sppesr in meeting ike this without suole cns
himself 10 r.proach. Nevertheless he looked upon
ths movement with interest, and with the strongest,
hope He had long hoped that the churches OF New.
England az least would recognize the doctrine that
all men we're made of ore blood. He hsd also
Slavery as the terrible monster ii is. The dsy
was not long distant be trusted, that the Church
and the country generally would hold 70 the SEN
tnent that man cannot hold properly IN his fellow
man, What is waited in this country ls deep a6hor'
renee Of Slayery-s sentiment that shall IN time
exr guish the terrible evil. He invoked the aid Of
the money of the land, but what mos, wanted WAS
sn enlightened Christian sentiment against slavery.
The great duty which We a owe N the Free S.ates Is
to blot out all ensctments against Freedom The trst
great battle ard the first great victory would De 10 pre-
vent the existence of Slavery III the Territories Inc
Federal Government might not be able TO so9hsh
Slavery in the states, out tue great lhns " po u'A0
vas TO prevent its extension. ~,
Therefore be would say, first give TO coored men Gil
the rights we enjoy; next make our Territories Tree
and next wipe out all ensctments IN the Sta,e sgahst
freedom He believed that if these things wers done,
the great objects for which this Society organizer
would be accomplished. If Christian men were tue
to themselves, sentiment would De sptead over
the nation that would eventnate IN the re!eas-
ing Of four millions Of human beings now Ia
bondage in the country. He trusted the Society
would go on in their good work, and begged them
TO be of good courage. The AntlSsvery cause twenty
wears ae was almost hopeless Now IFS power IS in
Irepse Whether the church comes to the ald oil the
Ant. Slavery cause or not, it would go o. Gen. VII
son said he welcomed this organization; he should look
toward it with hope. The best men IN inc country
would bid them God speed in their efforts He referred
TO the time, fifteen years ago, when, in conjunction
With his pastor the Rev. Mr.. Hunt, he had endeavOred
TO procure such christian organic as this without
success When, therefore, he first heard OF us insttu
ton he was ready at to bid God speed, Is being
the very legitimate agency above all others to accom-
plish the Christian work of abolshing Slavery.
After Senator Wilson, pertinent remarks were yonn-
teered by Nj. Schouler, editor OF The Atlas and pee,
and the meeting adjourned after unanimous adoption
of the foregoing resolutions. 1t is refreshing to see
that in these times Of pocsl degeneracy, compromise
and retrogression the motto OF this Society is the noble
Hsmpdens, when in conflict with the despotsm OF
Charles the First" No steps backward
