THE CHURCH ANTI-SLAyERY SOCIETY. -
In another place will be found report of the
anniversary meeting of this Society, with the
resolutions adopted. 1t will enable the reader
to understand its spirit and aim, and, perhaps,
induce some to study it more carefully. We
incline to the opinion that the Church Anti
Slavery Society is likely to be efficient and in
fuential; and main reason for THIS opinion is
the fact that Messrs. Pillsbury, Foster, and
others of like views, make the Society in
question special object of assault, just as
they at one time made Senator Sumner the
object of assault. 1t was sometimes amusing
to hear them denounce Mr.. Sumner, and rep
resent his great speech against the Fugitive
Slave act as one of the most pro-slavery
speeches every delivered in Congress. Such
assaults on such men remind one Of the old
observation, that most clubs are hurled into
the tree that bears the best fruit

A New MATCH FOR MoRPHY.-The New
York correspondent of the Philadelphia Mer-
curry, in a notice of Paul Morphy, says queer
incident occurred to him soon after his arrival
in New York. A carriage drove to the st.
Nicholas, in which was seated splendidly
dressed lady. She sent up a card, and re-
quested an interview with the chess champion
The interview was granted, when the fair Wis
itor demanded the privilege of playing game
with Mr.. Morphy. Mr.. M. looked at the mag
nificent eyes of the stranger, and sand, Eyes,
certainly" The chess-table was brought TO
the window, and Mr.. Morphy placed the men.
The lady, Of course, was permitted the first
move. Half dozen moves we're made on
either side, and Morphy found himselfinterest-
ed-his visitor promised to prove the most
formidable antagonist he had had for long
time. Being absorbed in the game, Morphy
directed the servant to admit no one else until
it was completed. The game lasted two hours
and was drawn. The lady was then satisfied,
and bushingly took her leave, Morphy him
self accompanying her to her carriage. The
moment she had gone, Morphy and his friends
set at work to ascertain the identity Of the
beautiful visitor, not doubling that the name
upon her card could be found in the directory.
This, however, proved to be a mistake, and
| though every endeavor was made to ascertain
precisely who was the visitor, the gentlemen
are as much in the dark as ever Whoever
she may be, she played the best game in
which M0rphy was ever contestant. and
she probably adopted these means of matching
herself with Morphy in order to assure herself
Of her own skill

of his triumphs in Europe, says he would new.

organization-such as the american" and old

LOTTERIES IN MASSACHUSETTS.

1t was announced, day or two siuce, tnat
three lottery dealers had been arrested in haV-
erhill, and put under heavy bends for trial
hereafter The circumstance by itself, IS no
more significant than the arrest of any other
criminals who have endeayored to get living
out of the credulity Of their fellow men, But
the fact that nobody speaks kind or apologet
sc word for them, indicates how great change
has taken place in the public sentiment OF
Massachusetts On the subject Of lotteries, and
how widely that sentiment differs from that OF
other states to this day where these colossal
institutions of chance are still encouraged and
maintained by law. 1t is withen the memory
of many who are still living, when lotteries
were among the ordinary modes OF invest
ment Isaiah Thomas himself, if we remem-
Der correctly, was the manager, or at the least
agent of large number of lotteries, and pre-
scented through the columns of the Massachu-
setts Spy, tho @rnost splendid Inducements
ever offered" to those who were accustomed to
visit Hfthe Worcester bookstore" How ex-
tensively he carried the traffic in lottery tick
cts has never become matter of history. But
if it was not source of considerable profit to
him. it was not the fault of his advertisements,
which were clothed in the same insinuatng
and seductive language which distinguishes
many of those which will be found in the Spy
to-day.
Earlier in the history Of Massachusetts than
the time of which we speak, lotteries were
~, af of
evidence and public enterprise. The Boston
Transcript exhumes the following lottery act
from the Legislative records of 1855:
"Whereas the Neck, leading out Of the town
of Boston, called Boston Neck, by reason of
the great number of wagons and other heavy
carriages passing over it, and the sea some
times orerfowing it, is frequently out Of re-
pairs, Notwithstanding the great cost and ex-
pense the town Of Boston has been at yearly
for repairing the same and whereas the paw
a Ng of the Neck is the most e1ectual method
Nrepairing and keeping the same in good
YER and condition, and will require consider
Nsum Of msney to effect it; for the raising
bf, be it enacted that a lottery be granted
hat purpose, &C.
is one of the many actc of simils, kind
mich specSle the somewhat ineagre iegisia-
tive records Of the last century. Earlier than
in most places, Massachusetts, discovered the
fallacy of lottery dealing and pronounced ii
immoral And all the countenance the trade
has received for the last half century has
been given in secret and sneaking manner,
as if the giyer was conscious of doing fool
ish and immoral thing
Yet in this secretive and clandestine way,
large, we were about to say vast, sums Of
money are annually invested in these institu
tions of gambling and fraud. The arrest O
two or three bogus dealers in country towr
does not touch thes source of the creates
temptation The legalized lotteries of Mary
land, Georgia, Havana and other places, peri
odically inundate us with their circulars, ant
almost every town and city furnishes victim
silly and credulous enough to rush out ant
get caught in the shower.

CLAIMS OF CoLoRED CITIzENS.-The man
ayers of the approaching convention to pro-
mote the moral, social and political elevation
of the colored race in New England and the
other States set forth their claims in circular
prepared by VIM. Wells Brown; They say:
Gree suffrage is the basis of tree govern
ment, the safeguard OF free people, the
strength of the strong, the defence of the weak,
a powerful auxiliary to respectability wealth
and usefulness; and just in proportion as men
are deprived of this, they are shorn of their
strength, and are subject to poverty, disgrace
and abuse
We are convinced, fellow citizens, that not
only our political, but our depressed condition
in all other respects in the Free States, is ow-
ing in great degree to the fact, that we
are politically weak, not possessing the unre-
stricted use Of the elective franchise. The
national body polite see in us nothing to fear,
ana no tav0rs to court.
We therefore urge upon colored men in all
sections of New England to evnce their self
respect and love of freedom, devise to pro-
mote their moral social, and political eleva-
tion, by assembling at the above time-a day
consecrated by the signal and successful exam
pie of Great Britain emancipating 800, 900 men,
women, and children, in her West India colo
nies, and hence eminently suggestive to us to
strive in securing equality to the half free col
ored citizens of the Northern States, and thus
hasten the day of full emancipation to the mil
lions yet groauing in the Southernprison-hous
i~of-o country. -
With exception of Cou9sctieutt; the New
England States have magnanimously acknowl-
edged our political rights, and great pro
gress has been made in our moral and So
cial elevation within the past twenty-five
years. But let us, fellow citizens, extend the
words of encouragement to our brethren,
struggling in other States, until the rights oi
colored Americans shall be granted and re-
spected everywhere"
