The Anniversaries,

The anniversaries of the different Religious
and Benevolent Associations are in progress this
week, in Boston. Those of the Bible, Educa-
ton, Tract Societies, &C., have been brief in
their proceedings, and confined to the ordinary
matters of business With The Peace Society,
however, things took different turn, and the
discussions soon showed that the leading men,
bers had found themselves in a puzzling dilem-
ma AS members of the Society, they had
bound themselves to the unqualified advocacy
Of peace; while, as patriots, they were burn
ing in this crisis of our National affairs, to APP
piaud if not to directly aid, the present war
like movement against the Southern Rebels
And they soon found that, in dispite the paper
professions of their creed, the smothered element
of patriotism would not down. After some
speeches from the more common place minds, in
the old tone and routine, Lewis Tappan OF New
York rose, aud, like an honest man, frankly
declared he did not know what to do. His
creed bound him to one thing, and he felt he
ought to do another. lie was still for peace,
but was he to stand still and see Jeff Davis and
his crew overthrow the Government and make
the whole Country land Of Slavery? No,
never and no, uerer ! inadvertently burst
forth from all present. This Enthusiastically dis
closed the secret views of nearly the whole So
ciety who lhereupon went into Il more frank dis
cusson, which seemed to result in what others
OF equal intelligence and philanthropy, who
had declined to join their Society, had always
told them, that however commcndable it was to
inculcate the principles Of peace, there were,
and, while man remained the same, always
would be occasions when it was the duty of all
good men to fight.
