FROM the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin, of December 10th
ANTI-sLAvERY SYMPATHY MEETING
THIS MORNING.
AT THE ASSEMBLY BUILDINGS.

AT the ASSEMBLY BUILDINGS.
At eleven b'clock, this morning, large number
of persons assem- sled in the Hall of the Assembly
Buildings. Before the meeting was opened excited
commentaries were exchanged upon the events OF
yesterday, One sentiment prevailed--that of deep
indignation at the Intervention of the civil anthor-
ites in the progress OF The Fair at Concert Hail.
and at the demonstrations in front of, and outside
National Hall, last evening.
Mrs. Lucretia Mott explained the circum stan
ces Of the expulsion from .Ac Hail. characteriziug
it as the proceeding Of pro-slavery mob, and
commenting very severely upon the indignitics
offered. The same thing had happened before.
Pennsylvania Hall was burned. and the next year
the Mayer requested shat no Anti Slavery meeting g
should DO held, and that prominent Abolitionists
should not be seen walking the streets in the COM
pauy of colored persons. Now they are asked to
get redress by law, which they spurn contempt
uously. The goods are stored in the upper saloon
ofthe Assembly Buildings, and Mrs. Mott hoped
that their partial mutilation would only increase
the anxiety to purchase them. The meals pre-
pared for yesterday will be there in readness af-
ter this meeting and although, perhaps, they will
not taste quito well as then, their spoiliu z
should also DO cheerfully accepted
Thomas Garrett, of Wilmington, related recent
experience OF his, about forty miles below Will
mington where he found slave, fearfully multi
sted, almost starved, half froze to death, lying in
the woods, with scarcely any clothing upon him.
His back was covered with scare. This be said,
was ths work of his cruel master. He had suff-
cred 30 for fifteen years. lie said he would rather
be sold into Georgia than go back to his master.
Mr.. Garret thought be could do better than go
to tho lecture advertised in WILMINGTON, by Mr.
George w. Curtis. lie became sort of pilot,
and put the negro in the direction of liberty. He
had for fifteen years teen engaged in the emancl-
patton of slaves. 10 response to question, ho
stated tha, in oil he had rescued teenty ttco hun
dred and .tortytre slaves from bondage. Ap-
psuse. He made point always to tell about
taiv " ork, when he was asked.
Mrs. Mott replied to q voice from the audience
that had the goods on exhibition at the Fair not
been removed yesterday, they would have been
held in the Hall until Tomorrow noon, when the
leases Of the premises would expire, and then
thrown out or disposed of in any way that seemed
best TO the authorities
Mrs. Mott proceeded to compliment the press
tho cause of justice. Since the trial of Daniel
Daugcrfeld the Abolitonists have had great con-
fdeuce in the reporters of most Of the papers.
Mr.. Robert Purvis reiterated his desire that the
precise platform of the Ani-Slavery Society
should be made public, in view of the gross and
persistent Misrepresentation Of its design and
timent. Such q statement should 60 forth to the
world as would make the thing distinctly under
stood. 1--WE have been vllaiLously traduced by
your Randalls, and 1ngersolls and Pages, and
other broken down and defeated politicians"
The only feeling for such expressions is Of un-
mitigated contempt. The Public Ledger was
sharply rebuked by Mr.. Puryis. Its meanness
and dia5olism are notorious in all ma tiers of this
kind In the case Of John Brown il was utterly par
tial. That misera tle old toady,' Mr.. Everett,
came in for few touches of Mr.. Purvs's scalpel
He was nailed to the wall thirty years ago, by
John Randolph. of Roanoke, who said he could
entertain no sympathy for the Northern man who
could defend slavery on principle. Mr.. p. wished
TO defend the slave from the charge that he doesn't
want freedom and that he doesn't care enough
for it to fight Cor it. The slaves do desire freedom
The idea of Liberty is part o! God himself. 1t
cannot be uprooted from the human breast. Mr.
Purvis concluded by suggesting the publication in
the daily papers of this city of the Constitution
and declaration of sentiments of the Anti-slavery
Society.
The Hall by this time had become crowded
and the doors were surrounded by curious spec
tators.)
person from among the audience advanced to
the desk and avowed his intention to resist any
man that would try to take his goods, and to kill
any man that would make him slaye-or try his |
to do it.
A gentleman insisted tha. the person, was out
Of order. There was question before the house,
which should be discussed before every thing
else.
Mr.. Pursls seconded the sanguinary sentiment
Of the NAH at the DESK and said that he, too,
would kill every oppressor that stood in his way
10 freedom.
The interrupted speaker then proceeded with a
narrative of the experience of fu-
gitive slave in the cane brakes related TO himself,
who, after being chased by the blood-hounds and
shot out of d tree, said TO him, "0h. mas'r! /
would like to be free before die, just to see how
II feels to be free man |" SensatOn
This gentleman's remarks were continued in
loose. cOlloquia way at rather injudicious length.
The Impression gained ground that if he was per-
United to keep on, tho insurgents suffering tho ex-
ireme penalty at Charlestown at this hour, will |
got very little sympathy to-day. lie was pro-
fuse with poetical quotations. and concluded at
last by taking drink Of water The gentle
name name is Kennedy, of Pennsylvania.
The question was then put on the motion of Mr. i
furvis, Ito print the Constitution, &C., and car
ried.
oliver johnson said the scenes now passing in
Phiiadelphia reminded him of those of 1887, when
he city was ruled BY mob. and a new and beau
