following has t~ranspired respecting Mr.. H.:

the college property, and vanished from the sight of
this community. Mr.. Il. W. Latta, of the firm of
Latta 4 Bllin, was among the sufferers, and deter

some clue, he succeeded in tracing him 10 Santa Cruz,

Hamm was the man he was after.

Political.
JOnS BRowN NEETISG BROKEN UP.-A few aboli-
tiOnisJs and cOlOre1 people undertook 10 hold n meeting
in fremont Temple, Boston, Dec. 3, to . mark the
anniversary Of the martyrlom Of john Brown" but
the Union men went in aud took possession, Ousting
Fred. Douglas AMI others after a free fight, and pass
ell strong Union resolutions.
Fred. Douglas. who was on the platform, called the
proceedings Of Mr.. Fay the coolest thing he had ever
known. Mr. Fay was sustained, and read 4 series Of
resolutions, which were received with applause, and
adopted By a large majority. The following are the
resolutions
Whereas, II Is fitting upon the occasion Of the an
niverslry Of the execution of John Brown for his pi-
ratical and bloody attempt to create an instruction
among the slaves OF the State Of Virginia. for the peo-

their horror Of the man, and Of the principles which
led TO the fJray, therefore II IS
ResOiref, First, That no virtuOus and law abiding
citizen Of this Commonwealth ought to cOuntenance,
sympathize, OF hold communion with any man who
believes that John Brown and his aiders aud abettors
in that nefariOus enterprise were right in any sense
of that word.
SecDHd, That the present periIous juncture in our
political Affairs, in which our existence as a nation Is
impcriled, requires Of every citizen who loves his
country to come forward and to express his sense of

labor Of the South, and to the interests OF the COM
merce, manufactures, and agriculture of the world.
Third, That we tender TO cur brethren IN Virginia,
our warnest thanks for the conservative spirit they
have manifested, notwithstanding the unprovOkel and
lawless attacks upon them by John Brown and his
associates, acting. If not with the cOnniyance at least
with the sympathy of a few fanatics from the North
ern States, and that we hope they will still continue
to aid in opposing the fanaticiSm, which Is even now
attempting to subvert the Constitution AMI the Uni
on.
Fourth, That the people of this city have submitted
too long in allowing irresponsible persons and politi-
cal demagogues of every description to hold public
meetings To disturb the public peace and m%isrepre-
sent us abroad. that they have become a nuisance,
which in self defence, We are determined shall hence
forward be sunmarily abited.
Fred. Douglas then rose again, and was exceeding
ly severe in his condemnation Of the proceedings.
lie made an allusion 10 Daniel Webster, and cheers
we're given for Webster and repeated. He was con-
tinually interrupted with cries that he had exceeded
his time. All was confusion, and the negroes partIc-
ulariy uprOarIOus. y motion TO dissolve the meet
ing was carried.
Cheers were then given for Virginia, and the Uni
on and the Constitution, after which, in obedience 10
the orders Of the Mayor, the police cleared the hall
and locked the doors.
after the chairman had pronounced the meeting
dissolved, Fred. Douglas, Sanborn, and u few others
manifested some resistance to the police, and were
elected from the platform and hall. During the up
roar Rev. J. Stella Martin announced that a meeting
would be held in his church in the evening. In res
ponse to this announcement the Baptist Church (cOI-
ored) in Joy Street, was filed at an early hour. The
elifce was small and a large proportion of the audi
euce we're black. Here Wendell Phillips, John Brown,
ir., and n few ether leading John Brown SYM
pathizers. ventilated their opinions freely with lit
tie interruption.
