Correspondence Of The N. Y. Tribune.

Correspondence Of Tie N. Y. Tribune
Bosros, Oct. |, 1859.
Agitation upon the qUdstio veratisstna of Slavery
is still the order of the day in the Athens Of New
England. RICH. upon the heels of the Webster
ovation, this week has come meeting in the
fremont House in behalf Of the Church Ant-Slavery
Society Boston seems to be wholly given to Webster
oatry; nor is ii strange. But the Inauguration OF
this bronze statue in the State House grounds is more
than IN nse,noridn of Webster. 1t meant and 1t
stands for triumph of Hunkerism and for that
reason only its continuance where it is may be doubt
full Blu. i; is undeniabe that Boston loves the men,
ory of Webster and il might be said 10 its citizens, 40
in the Old Play:
"And where you hi. chsrio, but sppsar
DID you lot give universal shout :"
There is a goody number of Bostonians also that
love the Slave, although, If We may judge 6y the
meeting Last night, more of them outside the
churches than inside. The silverhsred Octogenaran
of Maine, the Rev. Father Thurston was advertised
to preside but did not make his appearance and the
Rev Mr. Webster therefore took the chair. Inc Rev.
Henry T. Cheever, Secretary of the Church Anti
Slavery Society, stated the principle and purpose Of
the zstion and what i had done since its annu al
meeting in May last. The Hciety it appears, has
appointed agent to present its cai ms and objects
before the churches. Inc society recommends, - q
basis of action that the churches hold conferences of
prayer once month, that contributions be made for
the cause and that each church form itself into an
Anti. Slavery organization.
Mr. Cheever further said that the Society had offered
premium Of $00 for the best essay TO show that tho
Bible gives no warrant TO Slavery Some sixty have
been sent in. Two are from kentucky, twenty from
the West and the balance ffom the Middle and Ne ~
England States Funds needed for the purpose OF
printing dozen more of these essays vol
ume beside II in tract form which obtains the prize.
He said that Al 900 WAS wanted TO support their pro-
posed agency of which 5000 had been obtained. Mr..
Cheeyer closed by Offering tho following resolution, the
adoption Of which he moved:
