SPEECH OF SENATOR WILsoN.-The admir-.
able speech of Hon. Henry Wilson, of which
we gave a full abstract, was continued yester-
day, in reply to the criticisms which it provol-
ed. 1t is the most complete and thorough in
dication of the principles and policy of the
Republican party, which has been pronounced
during the present session. While it exposes,
by startling array of testimony, the faithless-
ness of the Democratic party to the teaching
Of the early days OF the Republic, and the in.
sincerity of its professions of regard for the
Constitution and the Union.

MASSACHUSETTS ANTI-SLAvERY SOCIETY.
The annual meeting of this society was open
ed in Boston, Thursday. The report of the
Treasurer shows receipts during the year to
the amount of So 59 35, and expenditures to
the amount of s., 27247. Mr.. Samuel j. May,
the general agent of the society, made an in
formal statement of the operations of the So
ciety and OF the changes and progress in pub
lie opinion during the past year. In anticipa-
ton of the regular business of the convention,
Mr.. Wendell Phillips introduced two resolu-
tions, urging the rigid application of the prin-
cples of right to national affairs, and declaring
that the recent movements of senators Bigler
and Douglas indicate the purpose to put FREQ
thought, free speech, and personal liberty I'M
der new restraints In support of these reso-
buttons, Mr.. Phillips spoke at some length, as
serting that Massachusetts was not yet pr epar-
ed to protect her own citizens against United
States officer. He had also understood that in
the heart and brain of Massachusetts one of
the best teachers had been driven away be-
cause his anti-slavery opinions were too ultra
Rev. L. W. Higginson took exceptions to both
points advanced by Mr.. Phillips. He denied
emphaticaIy that Mr. Sprague had been remov-
ed from his situation in Worcester on account
of his anti-slavsry sentiments. He also denied
the statement that the people of Massachusetts
were not ready to defend themselves, and each
of themselves, against the power of the gov
eminent. Other speeches were made by Fred
erick Brown, brother of John Brown, Mr.. j.
A. Rowland, Mrs. Foster and others, till the
close Of the morning session.
