big stones be on the corners. Neither can it be
done on the floor after the tacks are out. Never
put down a carpet without straw under it; the
straw acts as a strainer for the sand aud dirt

N Hew noIk OH saturday. The morning meeting
congratulated the Society upon the dawn of a
day which hardly any one believed they would
see, and said; :. Now that the nation puts itself
behind the pledge made by the Society in wears
gone by-that the cOlOred race should have an
the rights and privileges of American citizens
we feel that our work is accomplished. We have
nolillng 10 do now but to thank God, and throw
our exeruons hencefOrth in channels more rt-
ting for the hour" Letters were read from
Secretary Boutwell,, Vice President CoItax
Governor Alcorn, of Mississippi. Senators Sum
ner and Drake, Congressman Kelley, John q.
Whittier, Maria Childs and others. Rev. John
+. Sargent made few remarks. Miss Lucretia
Mott said that W hen the anti-Slavery movement
commenced she had no idea that victory wouId
be accomplished in her dav; and to God he
longed all praise. Rev. NJ. Burns, Frederick
Douglass and others made remarks, and the
meeting adjourned till the afternoon.
The afternoon meeting was presided over bv
wendell Phillips, who delivered stirring
speech. Henry g. Wright then moved that the
American Anti-Slavery Society adjourn sin, die
This brought out Stephen S. Foster, who thought
1T was still too early to close the labors OF the
society, as time had shown that Mr.. Garrison
was greatly mistaken when he advised the dis
solution of the society four years ago. In his
(Alr. Foster's) opinion it had done more effective
service within the last five years than at anv
previous time. Mrs. Tappan, who has resided
many years in the South, took the same view

Mary Grew, Frederick Douglass and others
spoke in opposition to Mr.. Foster. They elaine
that the object OF the society had been aecDm-
Plished, and that it should now Dissolve Mrs
Foster also spoke in opposition to her husband.
and after two hours debate it was finally voted
to dlsband, with only one vote (Mr. Foster's) in
the negative.
Resolutions were adopted, ''that IN the rat;f-
cation Of the fifteenth amendment we see the
fulfillment of the pledge which the anti-slaverv
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" &c, &C., and that 1--WE
DO therefore now disband the American Anti
Slavery Society,""
The society was organized thirty-seven wears
ago. At the close of the proceedings it was
stated that there was not single member pre-
sent who attended the first meeting. In the
evening commemorative social reunion was
held, at which speeches were made by Freder-
