Disselusion Of the American Anu.Sla 70.
~ Society. a
Last Saturday there ceased to exist, as we
were briefly notified by telegraph, one of the
most singularly successful organizations that
was ever formed by man. Thrty-seven years
ago the American Anti-Slavery Society was
formed at Philadelphia; not one of its foun-
ders was present at its dissolution at the same
place, but all that its projectors had in view
has been accomplished. Wendell Phillips op-
ened the meeting as President and congratu-
latory letters were read from Vice President
Colfax, Secretary Boutwell,, John G. Whittier,
Senator Drake, VIM. B. Kelley and many 9TH
srs whose names have been for many years
associated with the anti-slavery cause The
following resolutions were then passed:
RESOLVED, That in the ratification of the Fiji
teenth Amendment we see the fulfilment of
the pledge which the Anti-Slavery movement
made to the cOlored population of the United
States, to secure to them all the rights and
privileges which belong to them as men and as
Americans. r--s = :
Resolued, That while social preiud;ce. the

ignorance, landless poverty and lack of organ
iEation which must for time weaken the
blacks, will all contribute to make the exercise
Of these rights neither easy nor always safe
for years to come, still, since a voting class is
never permanently wronged without its own
consent we feel that we may safely trust our
clients to the general Influences OF civilization
and Christianity, and we do, therefore. dis
solve the American Anti-Slavery Society.
After the resolutions came speeches by the
venerable Lucretia Mott and Charles C. Bur-
leigh. Congressman Julian followed with
q few remarks in which he condemned the &C.

close OF the war; in hurrying the Southern
States back into the Union, and in not confis-
eating the public lands in the South, and d.
viding them up among the freedmen. But

he also expressed himself as being in favor of
equal rights for women as well as men, and
spoke of the duty Of the members of the So
ciety to continue their efforts in the direction
OF securing those rights.
