NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Wednesday, May 7, 1835. Nc ARIVAL OF ie Hivernta.—This steamer was telegraphed off Boston harbor, a few minutes before the Long Island train left. We shall re- ceive the news by this mornings? mail, and shall issue an extra immediately after. Anniversaries Yesterday. The Abolitionists gave themselves full play yester- day, and their antics made up the chief feature of the day’s proceedings. We give interesting sketches of their meetings, both in the forenoon and evening, which will be read with interest by all classes of readers. In agreeable contrast, however, to the melancholy exhibition of human extravagance and weakness af- forded by the Abolitionists, we have the pleasing celebration of the Sabbath School Society. This is one of the few associations whose anniversaries are celebrated about these days, which really deserves the sympathy, admiration and love of all intelligent friends of virtue and religion. The Sabbath Schools of America are among its noblest and most valuable institutions. Like the gentle dews of heaven, their genial influence descends in peace and silence all over the land, and almost imperceptibly its blessed results are scattered far and wide. In this city im- mense numbers of poor,miserable neglected little out- ev.sts are collected together, instructed and clothed by the munificent, but simple instrumentality of the Sun- day School. Devoted women, whose hearts have in deed been warmed by the charity that cometh down from heaven, are the chief laborers in this great field of Christian exertion, and in their own quiet, unostentatious way, they are, Sabbath after Sabbath, effecting an amount of practical good which cannot be calculated. They are, in truth, doing more than the pulpit itself to advance the cause of true reli- gion and the best interests of the human race. Ve- ry often, whilst sectarian bigotry or a cold and pro- fitless dogmatic theology is thundering from the pulpit of the church, the humble Sabbath School teacher in the basement blow is to be found redeeming the sanc- tuary from the indignant rebuke of heaven, by do- ing its work; and we therefore record with the greatest satisfaction, the continued and growing prosperity of the Sunday School Society, and most heartily bid it God-speed in its pure and elevated career. The abolition fanatics are, it will be seen, more noisy, virulent, vindictive and unreasonable than ever. Nothing appears likely to satisfy them but a dissolution of the Union. To effect that they bend all their energies. And nothing dis- covers more intelligibly the hypocrisy and hollow- heartedness of these men, than the ruthless violence with which they assail the integrity of the Union. Justice—-truth—peace—their country—all are as no- thing in the eyes of these fanatics, when compared with their own selfish and designing movements.— Look at the intemperance, the violence, the blasphe- mies—the ruthless denunciations of all that is dear tothe chrietian or the patriot, which characterize these abolition meetings, and then judge of the claims of these men to the name of philanthropists. The poison thus seems to carry with it the antidote. All men of sobriety and intelligence turn aside in utter disgust at these exhibitions of raving fanati- cism. The mecting of the “National Reformers,” a re- port of which we also give in this day’s paper, pre- eents many interesting points. It will be seen that anti-rentism entered largely into the proceedings.— ‘That spirit of rebellion against the law, had, indeed, a good right to be represented in the assembly of the new reformers, for by them it has been moet af- fectionately sustained. The first steps in the reform of society, according to these philosophers, should be the distribution of the public lands to all who are without land—as soon as possible an abolition of all rents—a general repudiation of all leases and title deeds—a perfect restoration, so far as respects individual rights to land or water, of that primitive social organization which prevailed when— “Wild in woods the noble savage ran.” It is, however, curious toremark, by what a mise- rable faction, after all, these ultraisms—abolition and “national reform”—are supported. A few thou- sands are all they can muster—men, women, chil- dren and cattle. They do not so much as raise a ripple on the great tide of practical sense and sound intelligence, which year after year sweeps over the land. The crowd, as it rushes on, pauses occasion- ally to be amused by the capers and vagaries of these fanatics, knaves or fools, as the cage may be, but the great social movement never for a moment ceases to be conducted with common sense and sa- gacity. The great work of civilization and social progress really suffers no more from these interrup- tions, than does the business of a mighty city from the noisy conflicts of Punch and Judy. Manacsrs Harr axp Hamprin Acaix.—Mana- nager Hale is out upon Manager Hamblin in ano- ther very fierce article in yesterday’s Journal of Commerce. Even in the very midst of his annual harvest, and when his “corn and wine most abound,” the soul of David cannot find a moment’s repose in consequence of his pestilent rival, who has now squatted so resolutely at the very next door to the Tabernacle. Manager Hale avows that if some stop be not immediately put to the proceedings of Manager Hamblin, Broadway will be irretrievably ruined. ‘The truth is, that prous David, in arguing the case as he now does, on “pecuniary considerations,” has fairly let the cat out of the bag. He has long pos- seesed the monopoly of showman in Broadway.— All sorts of shows—holy and profane—Dandy Jim of Caroline and the Christian Parson Cheever— Professor Colton and his gas, and Mar Johannan and his beard—have been exhibited at the Taberna- cle, and now that Manager Hamblin comes and sits down cheek-by-jowl at the side of David, for the purpose of erecting another Tabernacle, the con- ecience of the latter is at once pricked with a terri- ble sense of the woe that is coming upon Broadway and all the region roundabout. Hence his vehement denunciation of poor Manager Hamblin, which he very charitably winds up with the consolatory words of the servitor of the Jew to the gentle Jessica— “ Therefore be of good cheer; for, truly, I think you are damn’d.” Why does not Manager Hamblin at once come out with a rejoinder? We wish to see this matter fairly discussed between these eminent showmen. Allmen, the righteous and the wicked, the loafer and the godly-disposed, would take great interest in the con- troversy. Besides, it would, we are sure, help Ma- nager Hamblin’s project, by making it still more no- torious and talked about. Come out then in reply, Mr. Manager Hamblin, and meanwhile, what think you of pledging the real estate on which the thea- tre is to be built as security to those who subscribe ? Prrrescrou Surrerers.—We are requested to state, that subscriptions for! the Pittsburgh sufferers will be received by the Mayor, or any of the com-| mittee during this week; and that the committee will meet at the Mayer's office on Saturday evening next, at half past 7 o’clock, for a final adjustment in the premises. Awnrversary Mgerinas.—We had prepared pret- ty full reports of the proceedings of the sixth anni- versary meeting of the Foreign Evangelical Socie- ty, at the (Dr. Hutton’s) Dutch church in Washing- ton Square, last evening; also the second day’s pro- ceedings of the National Reform Association; but owing to the press of other matter, we have been obliged to omit them on the present occasion. Historicat, Socrery.—A report of the proceed- ings of the Historical Society last evening is erowd- ed out till to-morrow. The business was not par- ticularly interesting, however, the great debate on the name of the country having been postponed. fg Mr. Dumbolton has at length succeeded in ob. taining possession from Palmo, of the Opera House, and will this evening open it with theEthiopean Se- renadery. Maeazine Lirerarurr—-Puivosorny or Ponitics, ---Within the last month or two, we have observed gratifying indications of an improvement in the style and character of our current periodical literature. Some new minds, of more than ordinary intelli- gence and strength, have, it would appear, introdue- ed themselves into this department of literary labor, and some prospect is afforded of the ultimate re- demption of the magazines from the accumulated load of folly, stupidity, ignorance and pretension, under which they have been crawling to oblivion. We allude, in these remarks, particularly to the last number of the American Review, the recently cre- ated magazine organ of the whig party in this sec- tion of the land. It contains an article entitled the “Mystery of Iniquity,” commencing a history of what are designated the “election frauds,” by which Mr. Clay was defeated, the country ruined, and the hopes of liberty and the human race eternally blast- ed, in the last election-—-that evinces a degree of in- genuity, eloquence and force for which we have long looked in vain in the Iucubrations of any of our magazine-writers and reviewers. The impress of a vigorous intellect, an experienced observation, and a practised pen, is very manifest throughout this able and striking article; and we have great pleasure in welcoming the writer to the wide field of exertion in which he has already acquitted himself so well. The reviewer affects to have discovered in that fraternity of vice and crime which constitutes such an interesting and important portion of society, in all our large cities, the subtle and controlling agency by which locofocoism is enabled to sway the destiny of the republic. He regards the whole community of dishonesty, roguery and crime—from the elegantly dreased gambler, who lives at the fashionable hotel and drives the fastest pair on the ‘ Avenue,” to the skulking vagabond at the ‘ Tombs”—as united in one common bond of sympathy, principle and pur- pose, and that in party politics their action is unani- mous and in favor of locofocoism. The writer in the American Review thus enumerates the po- tential agencies to which, according to his rea- soning, Mr. Polk owes his election and-the de- mocratic party its possession of a controlling in- fluence in the government of the nation :—“Gam- blers,” ‘‘gainbling house keopers,” ‘writers and publishers of obscene and licencious books and papers,” “sham brokers,” “Tombs Lawyers,” “straw bail men,” “skinners,” “touchers,” “ profes- sional perjurers,” “police decoy ducks and stool pi- geons,” “‘receivers of stolen goods,” “sharpers,’’ “imposters,” “prize fighters,” “mock auctioneers,” “watch stuffers,” “pocket book droppers,” “brothel- owners and bullies,” cock-fighters,” “dog stealers,” “street beggars,” and so on through innumerable grades and inventions of roguery, down to “counter- feiters,” “pickpockets,” ‘“‘ineendiaries,” “highway robbers,” and “burglars.” We are not at all disposed to question the accuracy of the reviewer’s premises or the justice of his conclusions. On the contrary, we believe there isa great deal of truth in his disclo- sures. His case ismade out with a great deal of plausibility, and he has succeeded in presenting, on the whole, a tolerably accurate view of one portion of the organization of the locofoco party. But the reviewer does not tel] the whole truth. He does not present with fairness and candor, all the data which that investigation, to which he has invi- ted us, affords of the hidden mysteries of political or- ganization, political action and political triumph. He has confined himself entirely to Barclay street and Park Row—he has overlooked in his enumeration of the agencies of party politica, the “ekinners,” and “decoy ducks,” and “atool-pigeons,” and “touch- ers,” and “gamblers,” of Wall street. The retail dealers in ‘‘iniquity”—the small rogues and paltry blackguards that prey upon society, have been hunt- ed out and exposed by the reviewer with creditable industry and skill. But the great, portly, bloated, wholesale-dealers in corruption, fraud, and crime are not somuch as named. Now,‘every man who un- derstands anything of the philosophy of politics, knows full well that the gamblers of Wall street-—the bankers, speculators, brokers, stock-jobbers—the robbers of the widow and the orphan—play a vastly more influential part inthe dark game of politics, than the hordes of desperate outlaws who make open war upon society. If the reviewer had included that important class of men, who drive a wholesale traffic in “iniquity,” in his view of the social and political organizations of this country, he would have made his picture complete. With this addition to his cata- logue of “the lords of the land,” “the controllers of the government,”—the “arbiters of the com- monwealth’s destiny,” the list of political gamblers is fully made out. We have thus the whig “gam- bler and the locofoco “gambler”—the whig “skin- ner,” and the locofoco “‘skinner”—the whig “vil- lain,” and the locofoco “villain.” The two classes are, to be sure, different in some respects. The Barclay street gambler “keeps fine horses, famous for speed and performances on the avenue,” and gives champaign suppers at the oyster saloons; the ‘Wall street gambler drives about in an easy car- riage, and gives magnificent parties in Waverly Place; the one plunders his victim by tens and fifties, the other plunders him by thousands and by tens of thousands; the one isa blackleg, the other is a worthy, pious, moral, respectable christian gen- tleman. By all means, let the reviewer next give us an ar- ticle illustrative of the stupendous fraud, corruption, and crime which the Wall street gamblers, skinners and touchers have perpetrated. Whenhe does that, he will have given us a very complete and instruc- tive exposition of the ‘Mystery of Iniquity”—both locofoco and whig. Granp Literary Fete at Newark.—A grand literary and historical féte takes place at Newark, to- day, before the Historical Society of that ilk.— Charles King, one of the newspaper literati, of Wall street, is the orator on the occasion, and it is expect- ed that Newark will feel some inches bigger than | ever she did since the era of Noah’s flood, or the formation of the coal beds. Mr. King has talent, genius, some wit, a little scholarship, plenty of mo- desty mixed with saltand confidence, and eloquence in abundance, ‘We shall send our immortal corps of reporters to | Newark to give the whole proceedings, if wind and weather permit. §G- The Annual Meeting of the Eastern New York Anti-Slavery Society, (Liberty Party,) is an- nounced to be held at 12 o'clock, this day, at the Apollo Saloon, Broadway ;.and the business meet- ing at3 o’clock, when several eloquent Speakers are expected to attend.

We have not been able to obtain any papers by this arrival, which, however, we have beon toll, con: | tained nothing of importance. | We have been verbally informed that 300 troops had Tus Secret Ovr—Qur Poricy Discoverep at Lasr.—Our amiable and sharp-nosed contemporary of the Native American newspaper, Philadelphia, has let the cat out of the bag, by giving the following batch of rare staie secrets :— ing. Mr. Polke and hi or phrenologically.) This The N. ¥. Herald is bepraisi jans—(we speak editorially not ogi isapart of its old policy. That print ridiculed Gen Harrison until he was elected, and then hurrahed for him atarate that would have split any throat but a brazen one. It then took up Mr. Tyler—but John Jon intervened there; hence Benneti’s unmerciful tre: ment of that amiable functionary. He then praised Clay, until the eflect of the foreign vote was developed ; and now he has laid hold of Mr. Polk with the vigor of « bull-terrier at a porker’s car. His success here will de- pend upon the length of the organ he has taken hold of. All this is, we believe, pretty nearly correct, ex- cept the “ridiculing” of General Harrison “ untiy he was elected.” We only “ridiculed” the nomi- nation of a respectable, but old, feeble hero, who did not live over a month after his inauguration, in_ stead of putting up such a healthy, able-bodied man. as Henry Clay, or General Scott, who would have lived through the oflice-beggars’ invasion, and kept Captain Tyler in his original and proper place. But we were the first to come out for General Harrison’s election after his nomination—chalk out the plan of operations—and predict the actual result six months before it was decided. We confess that we have had the weakness to praise Clay—and Tyler—and Polk, and may do so again, if they do such acts as we admire. We are bound to no man or party, and whither we have success or not with Mr. Polk’s “length of organ,” we do not care an old, second- hand button, cut from the breeches, with the hole in it, which once belonged to Secretary Marcy, and by the influence of which, like another Mahomet’s sa- cred standard, he was made Governor of the great State of New York, and all the salt springs there- | unto belonging. Mr. Patuuirs’ Farewett Coxcert.—The vocal entertainment given by this distinguished vocalist last evening at Niblo’s, attracted quite a large audi- ence, who manifested their great satisfaction with frequent and enthusiastic plaudits. The carcer of this truly great singer affords a striking illustration of the state of musical taste in the interior of the country and in the greatcities. He was decidedly suc- cessful, in all the smaller localities reaping both honor and money, because there the innate love or natural taste for music is not yet paralized by that artificial humbug which is called modern taste ; there people are still alive to the beauties of simple and natural music—natural in so far as it relies only upon its real aualttiee, divested of all meretricious ornaments.— ut how different is it in our greater cities! Here some people, who have been told that Italian Ope- ra is fashionable, complain that there is not taste enough in New York to insure its stability ; and, nota bene, those identieal exclusives are the first who gladly avail themselves of every oppor- tunity, that affords them a pretext for staying away. Not taste enough! How bright would the prospects of music look, if there were no taste at all in our great cities. ‘There, at least, the idea could be en- tertained, that it may come, col tempo é colla pacien- zia. But, unfortunately, there already exists too much taste, but bad taste. It took the wrong di- rection—grew old and decrepit, without ever hav- ing been young—spoiled without ever having been good. is is not the place to expatiate on the rea- son of this anomaly ;_ we only wish to congratulate Mr, Phillips on the good and distinguished compa- ny in which he finds himself. Damoreau, Vieux- temps and Phillips! — Tves faciunt collegium! We hope the day will come, when they will consider themselves sufficiently avenged, by the success of which charlatanism is, and will be so certain. Mr. Phillips sung twelve different airs, ballads, luettos and scenas. Each of them was most ex+ cellently given and applauded to the echo; he was even several times encored. He presented us at the same time with selections from the budget of na-| tional airs—whiter and black—he has collected du- | ring his tour, and showed us that there exists many an unexplored region independent of the great West | and Oregon into the bi erga. One melody sung on | the Ohio, was particularly striking. His grand scena “Niagara,” is very beautifully conceived, and was executed with a true musician-like inspiration, but it is very hard to produce much effect with a} piano-forte accompaniment, however well played; the same may be said of the Bear Hunt. His “My Mother,” drew many a tear, and was applauded to the echo; in general, not one failed to please. We Tegret that circumstances have prevented Mr. Phil- lips from pppearing onthe stage, where he joins to a highly dramatical style of singing, an impressive and effectual action, or in an Oratorio, where he may dispute the palm with Braham. But we trust he will do so at some future time, for we hope that this visit, which was the first, will not be the last. He was assisted by Miss Moss, who acquitted her- self of all she had to say, with a superiority which was unanimously acknowledged. Fonerat or Mr. Aurers.—We were very much gratified—in so far as this may be said at sucha melancholy occurrence—with the last honors be- stowed by the musical profession of this city upon one of their leading members, who was so early carried away from the enjoyment of life and its plea- sures, by the ruthless hand of death. As early as nine o’clock, the Tabernacle, of which the de- ceased has been the organist for a number of years, was filled by the members of the Philharmonic So- ciety—all the professional talent of the city, a great number of personal friends and admirers of his rare talents, and not a few of his fair pupils. Mr. En- sign played a most impressive introduction on the organ, after which the Rev. Mr. Thompson read two psalms, which were followed by a dirge com- »o8ed for a similar occasion by Mr. Alpers, and pub- Frahed in the Beethoven collection of sacred music. During the performance of this dirge by the choir of the Tabernacle, a beautiful wreat! of flowers was placed on the coffin by two ladies, his former pupils, we believe. After a fervent paver by the Rev. Mr. Thompson, the morcia fune from_Beethoven’s Sinfonia croica, was pe feels the Philharmonic Soéiety under the direction of Mr. Hill. The body was then carried out of the church, and the pro- cession proceeded to the cemetry, corner of Houston and Christie street, where it was followed by a great number of mourners, Se: twelve you ladies were observed. The . Mr. Thompéon of- fered there a short but solemn prayer. After which, four German gentlemen performed a choral on four trombones. Mr. Alpers was born in the neighborhood of Ham- burgh, Germany, but came very early to this city, where he stood at the head of the profession. Al- though a fine pianist and organist, he was more die- ie iy through his sound theoretical knowledge, and a rare talent for instruction. He, moreover, was one of the main prope of the Philharmonic Society who will miss in him an able leader, whose loss will not so easily be made up. ‘ He was twenty-nine years of age. ReMovaL oF Nuisancrs.—We have been credibly informed that Collector Van Ness has determined that he will appoint no man to office who has been found lounging about the Custom House or its vici- nity—and it is said that two persons are employed to watch and take the names of all such who are in the habit of doing so. Any one who has been inside of the Custom House, or passed within its precincts, since the elec- tion of President Polk, cannot fail to have noticed the hordes of office sae Goths and Vandals who daily, hourly and eternally haunt those devoted rounds. The three great Restaurateurs, McArdle’s, ‘hompson’s and Pine’s, derive their support chiefly from this source; and the empty pockets of these hun- any cormorants has given to the place the soubriquet of “ Poverty Corner.” Iron gates, brazen doors and energ have, hitherto, been unable to restrain the mob from intruding at all hours upon the Collector and his sub- ordinate officers, to their serious detriment of able is now to be remover Later From Lacvayra.—By the arrival of the barque Venezuela at Philadelphia advices have been received to the 18th of April. The Coffee crops were in, but have fallen very far short of previous years in consequence of the heavy rains of last spring. A project under discussion in Congress for the esta- blisi ‘territorial credit,” for the relief of agri It authorises the obtaining of a loan, on the tion, of $2,500,000, on which are to be PET $5,000,000 to be loaned out to agricultu- Tists, artizans, &c. on short credits, on mortgages and other securities, at an interest of five per cent; and should the whole sum be taken up, ‘52,000,000 more to be borrowed, and a like sum of $5,000,000 of paper curren: cy to be created and applied in the sama way.

There is the new and the old organization; the former being the po- litical Abolitionists who run the “Sage of Saginaw” asacandidate for the Presidency at the last elec- tion. The latter are composed of the ladies and gentlemen of all sexes and colors, who have calmly and deliberately agreed to swal- low Garrison, their immortal leader, whole.— ‘These last embrace within their wide-extended arms of charity, the Non-Resistants, Infidels, Socialists, Atheists, Grahamites, Pantheists, and all the disaf- fected materials afloat on the bosom of society.

It had been reserved for professed Christians to reward hoaven-daring crime with political power. much had been said about the preamble of tion being anti-slavery, but, she would k, could a Union exist between freedom and slavery—righteous- ness and ungodliness ? There could be no more than there was between thieves and robbers. ‘There was no half- house in this matt every man who is in favor of the American Union, slave-holder, And he, who is in favor of freedom, has in his mind dissolved the Union. The young lady proceeded in this strain at some length, and concluded, after describing the horrors of slavery and slave trade, with the following sentiment :— Down, down with the bloody Union ; down with it ; let us pluck down that banner whose stars gleam like’ de- mon eyes, and rend those stripes which are emblematic of the cruelties practised on the slaves. No union with slaveholders ; let us trample under foot the gory com- poct with wrinkled slavery. ‘This last explosion was re- ceived with mingled hisses and applause, which lasted for a considerable time. Wm. C. Brit, of Kentucky, the associate of C. M. Clay, admired the spirit and eloquence of Miss Hitch- cock, and congratulated her. Though she had, perhaps, never been at the South, yet, her description of slavery, was by no means exaggerated. He spoke merely, he suid, to introduce himself to them, and ufter some re- marks on the prospects of the abolition of slavery in Ken tucky, he concluded. Rev. Henny Grew, of Philadelphia, rose and com- menced to explain his views of the Constitution, [But whether the fact that the clock in the church pointed to one, and conjured up visions of dinner to the imagination of the audience, from which at least they would not wish to be dissolved, or whether the fame of the speaker had before hima, and they were unwilling ak twelve years—who that has listened to his impas- sioned " eloquence—that has read his pailictio, fervent appeals to the feelings of this changing, crazy generation—-but trembles for his coun- try’s salety—for the nately of this glorious Union —when he thinks of the vast power this reso- lute man wields for the production of anarchy, con- fusion, disorder, revolution, and ultiniately of a good appetite for dinner, Mr. Garrison has gathered around him some of the most eloquent and learned men in the county Gna, of them from the first families in New ea: The graceful, enthusi- astic, mellifluous Wendell Phillips—the subtle and logical Quincy—Mrs. Chapman, the female Napoleon of young America—the ely, intellectual, en- chanting, faseinating Abby Kelly—N.

But we must proceed to the Convention. ‘There were about 1000 persons assembled at the Tabernacle, to witness the forms and ceremonies of the grand opening. Mr. Wm. Loyp Garrison called tho meeting to order, at about half-past 10 o’clock. a ¢ ‘Treasurer’s Report of the financial condition of the Society was now read, by which it appeared Society was out of debt—was in a flourishing condition, and by following out the cash principle, in- tonded to remain so.

Ho deprecated the idea of a nominal Church, and one that joined with slave- holders—he had no doubt that there were men in tho Church who feared God, but the influence of the Church, as a body, was opposed to righteousness and the benevo- lence that Christ inculcated. F. Dovaxas next addressed the meeting. He was acol- ored man,and stated that he was afraid he could say neth- ing that could be considered to the point. He had not yet learned how to speak; his early life had done much to un- is appearing at all, and were it not that the audi- ence were greatly lessened in number to what they were at first, ho would not have ventured to speak at all. He had long cherished a wish to stand before an audience in the Tabernacle, and though he could not add anything to what had been said regarding the Constitution or Church, he could state something in regard to saver, He isa en a vast concourse, I thank God and take courage. I feel that however cloudy it may have been, the prospect of the speedy advent of liberty is now bright. The Anti- Slavery enterprise does not propose merely freeing a few negroes. No. Itai fio eutablishing of those principles for which our fathers shed their blood. I come not here as a colored man—I know that slavery strikes atthe rout of the whole liberty treo. (Applause.) It is becoming creditable to be considered an abolitionist. I cannot but feel anny 27 that en year opens rien er scenes to those who have pledged their rere their fortunes, and their sacred honors to this holy cause. Phen cheering.) Mr. Anderson took his seat, and was followed by the eloquent orator Wenortt Puitisrs, of Boston, who commenced by of: fering the following resolutiot Resolved, That having long since recognized and pro- Claimed the fact, that the only Exodus for the slave, out of the house of bondage in our time, would be over the ruins of the present union and the present sectarian or- ganizations, this Society rejoices in the thick coming signs of tho last few months ; that in the matter of Texas, the madness of Southern ambition has overleaped itsolf, and signed for sooner or later the death warrant of the Union; (hisses) and that the religious sects, yielding, if Rot to principle, at least a ‘decent” respect for tho opin- ions of mankind, are beginning slowly and timialy, though it be to sunder the covenant with death (hisses) which has bound them to the slave-holding churches, ant involvedthem in one common sin. (iromendous ap- plause.) Mr. President! I lay that resolution before the meeting firstly, because it includes the fundamental principles on which this society is based ; and, secondly, ecause it makes, in the face of the people, the proposi- tion that no abolitionist. can consistently support tho American constitution—in fact, that he could have no other feeling than one of gratitude at the final sundering ofthis Union. We are called fanatics, because we pre- sume to draw an indictment against the civil and eccle- siastical organizations of this country. This isa task we have not sought. When you, Mr. President, first boldly proclaimed that immediate emancipation was the only remedy for this country’s dvils, you went to thé religious community of Boston and asked for their co-operation and assistance. But you found, and all our past endeavors have verified it—that they had not far-sightedness enough to look to the hope of the future, but were basely bow- ing tothe prejudices of the present. And after lo years, we have found that the ‘nightmare, against which Wo were struggling, was the so called christian church. We have looked to the churches long, and seen that every great movement of the 19th ce: originated without the church, and found its first obstacles in re- ligious organizations. The church itranded ve: and amid the glad waves of change, lit by the smiles of the masses, We are sweeping by it. The nation peas ban bam onward, Coty Sp lords which it was once treason to 4» i of, is now Taughed at; an instead of the old heathenieh cryy Liberty and Union,” the cry now is “ Libertn at any rate, Union or not.” What have we ia this Union and these Church organizations? We have ¢ civil and ecclesiastical polity, in the midst of which thd system of slavery has grown up from seven hundre f thousand to three millions. "I say that the elements o strength from every other quarter are but as dust in the | balance compared with the religious power. The heart of the New aoe dare not beat unless it be regu- lated by the religious sentiment. Though we have nent statesmen, and their voices have struck against the Andes, and been enchoed among the mountains of Greece, their loudest tones are but as droppings in the pool, to the slightest whisper which come! fom the pulpit. We fight alike against Church and State. We take the advice of the Irishman to his friend, when in- troducing him to a Tipperary row—‘ Wherever yeu see ahead jhit it.” And we are determined to hit with all our force, the inhuman churches of this country. (Hisses.) ‘Those people who hiss, don’t know the strength of that idol for which they hiss. They have yet to learn that deeply religious ‘as is the sentiment of this counry, it has not begun to be Christian, I mean by that, that when the spirit fof Christianity knocks at the doors of their temples, and asks them to go down and give a hand to the drunkard and the slave, it is an- swered with sneers, jibes and curses, 1 judge the Church by the light of those great principles which the finger of God has written on the heart of humanity, We know the Church was the greatest obstacle in the path of Wil- beforce, and almost sent Clarkson into the doek of Liver- pool. And we rejoice when we see these great organi zations shake and tremble at the advance of the people, that makes this land quiver. I give no heed to the cry of Infidel, that honored name of Infidel, which has been borne by every true reformer who has waked this land for the fast twenty years. In regard to this Union, we have proclaimed that only by its can the slave be froe. “I care nought for Constitutions; there ie something | stronger than parchments. If you would learn a nation’s history, seek it not in its written Constitutions; seek it where the intelligence of the masses has been garnered upandthere you can read it. In this country, from its foundation, slavery has been everything. At the North our interosts are divided; but the South has but one great interest, the interest of slavery. Men say why dont you join some political party and carry out your measures by fighting under its banner? No honestly wicked or ho- nestly virtuous i party. Why didn’t the democratic party keep John C. Calhoun at Washington? Because he was too honestl: wicked. Men call John C. Calhoun and onr worthy Pr y_ they are the only sane men in th country, might as well dam up the M i wi straws mpt to lash the Leviath with partis. Finally, allow me to say, I know the peo- ple are sound to the core; that they have hearts of true metal, which yet shall ring with the very words of the fathers whose sepulchres they are now Dullding. Miss Hitcncock, of New York, at tho conclusion of Mr. Phillips’ speoch, said she did not wish to preface her remarks with the usual pleas of incompetence ; of that | she was well aware. Tho cause in which they were en- gaged, must be her excuse. She could read the religious ntiment of a nation in its Constitution, and on that topic sho would dwell. The social compact of our Constitu- tionfhas been often ssed, and she always understood that it guaranteed universal liberty, but it had been de- cided again and again by the various courts of the land, from the highest to the lowest, by the various officers of overnment, from the President to the constable, that it was really designod for the perpetuation of slavery, and the guaranteeing to the slavcholder the possession of his property. Had the original Constitution left slavery where they found it, no slavery would now exist, and freedom would have reigned thronghout the land. Before the adoption of that Constitution, if the slave desired freedom, he had but to remove to a non-slaveliolding State, and freedom and protection was granted him. But | hy the presont Constita ion, a compact was formed with theSouthern States,and no person held ina state of service there, could go free in another State, but was liable to be given up, thus perpetuating his bonds over the whole Union. This compact has been renewed every year at the ballot box. It would have expired last November, had it not been renewed. The North bows to the direc- tivas of the South, and bids the South pro¢eed ia their work, to go on in tho use of the a8: the whip, thumbe North are called on to nid them in their dimeultios. | If their slaves raise the banner of liberty, we promise | tocrush them. This is notan exoggerated picture of our subservience to them. Resistance to tyrants is ae- counted obedience to God.

He did not come from Louis- iana Or Alabama, which had the worst réputation, but from Maryland, where it exists in the mildest form; still he could detail atrocities that had becn committed, that would make the blood run cold.

The convention met pursuant to adjournment at 8 o'clock. A variety of uninteresting business was transacted, managera appointed for the ensuing year, when a discussion ensued upon a proposition to refer the executive committee’s report without reading to the business committee. Miss Apsy Keity—I hope the report will be read, particularly that portion which speaks of our foreign relations. Our foreign relations are becoming more and more important. The power of steam has closely allied the two countries; and how do we know but what England will ma come here and do great and wonderful works? (Treason, treason, shouted a full-blooded native.) The friend did’nt understand me. The abolitionists, holding the balance of power will prevent treason. _ Z A long discussion followed, the subject of which was whether slaveholders should be called by the hard names which have been applied to them by many abolitionists. Srernen S. Foster, (the author of a book called “The Brotherhood of Theives.)—For my_ part I would apply the names of pirate, thief and robber to the slaveholder,jbecause they describe his character truly. And I would apply them with equal force to the ministers and church—members of the land—for they countenance their crimes. Many an American ¢ hy dies enters hi Ipit with the pric@ of his daughter in his pocket; the coat on his back bought with the price of his daughter's prostitution. Mr. Frazer, (Clergyman.)—I deny the statement— give us some proof. Mr. Fostrr—I state it as a fact, and I can prove it. Mr. Frazer—Well, sir, give us the fact. Mr. Foster—I wil give a fact from the mouth of an American clergyman—and if your ee will lie, its you rown lookout.(Here Mr.F. read a ong letter from clergyman at the South, stating that he knew many cler- ape who had sold their own children.) It dosn’t cost aif as much to buy alicence to committ lust and rostitution now as it used to of the old Pope. I cau, for $400, buy the daughter of an American clergyman, and do with her as I please. Mr. Frater—Please explain what you mean by buy- ing the child of a clergyman. Mr. Fostrr—At the South, it is a well-known fact, that many of the children of white men are sold as slaves, and I appeal to you if they are not quite as likely to be children of ministers as other men. I appeal to the re- fay of the Moral Reform Society, if ministers are notas iable to commit suchcrimes as other men. | should be loth to trust a female friend of mine mith a minister, if he owned her as his property. ae two colored ladies, both blushing deeply, left the hall, getting a most excel- lent example for their white sisters.)

(Cries of ‘ Foster, Foster, go on, sit down,” &c.) I want our friends to’ ponder well before they utter sentiments #0 injurious to us.

A meeting of the above denomination took place yesterday evening at the Zion Chapel, corner of Leonard and Church streets; which was jammed ‘almost to suffocation, doupling the fact of the heat of the evening and tlie extraordinary physiological phenomena of the peculiar odor given off by the cutis vera of the descendants of Ham, We mvested @ quarter in some strong scented assaforteda, and in full faith in the homopathic doctrine of si similibus curautur, we ventured down to the precincts of Leonard street having entered the Zion Church, that temple ictified to the use of those whose complexion rival the darkest ebony we quietly took our seat and prepared to take note: of the sayings and doings of these vigilant charac- ters, or modern “ Wide-awake Club,” who in this week of anniversaries and festivals, aré anwilling to lag be- hind in the good work, and thus célebrate their own an- niyersary, The church was crowded to its utmost co, city, by the belles and beaux of the city—that is, the dark portion, The newest spring fashions were hero displayed on their classic forms; and in the gloomy cor- ners of the building, notwithstanding that the object of the meeting was vigilance, we noticed several young “ bucks” eluding the watchfulness of parents and guar- dians, instilling soft nonsense énto the ears of the blush- ing dark ones, thus proving though they took no part in the action of the meeting, still they were not for- getful of exercising due vigilance for themselves. After waiting for considerable time past the appointed hour, the company began to arrive, amongst whom we noticed Mr, Johnson, Charles B. Wray, and J. T. Jack- son, Esq. Mr. Johnson was voted to the chair, and Mr, Wray was appointed Secretary. Te mocking wes then cponed with prayertytive Rev. Mr. Forrest, after which the Secretary addressed the assemblage on the subject of slavery, showing how many alsyos had ran away from different masters in the South, nd come to the committee in New York for pro- tection, and mentioned the number jas being 118. He said they had assembled there to carry out the principlos of liberty, and he had no doubt but ‘all those who were there present would join with them, if they were Chrie tians, and give their voice and aid to free.men from slavery who were the same flesh and blood as themselves, He then stated the proceedings of last year, and mention- ed this was the 9th a miversary of Socicty meetings, and that much good had been done—there was more still to bé done, and Ke was sure the commit. tee did not make the present appeal in vain to the heart and feelings of humanity.

I would have no idea, as has been hitherto & ne, that of sending slaves to Canada, the idea of taking ves out of a damnable and sending them un- der the British flag, is pre, rous in the extreme. No, I would sooner leave the slave where he was, in sla very, than take him out of the “' frying pan, and put him in the fire.” Sending slaves to England is a bad—(a voice, not from here, we don’t know that. Mr. Jackson still continued in the same strain, waging tis vehemenoo ainst the British flag, and declaring himself to bea thundering out and out, true born, free born, (and a great many other boms) democrat, and again would add, that it would grieve him to see a slave enter under the flag of tyrqpny and oppression. Here Mr. Jackson concluded thistast declaration amid applause and hisses. Mr. Garnett was then called on, who, for 2 length of time, did not answer, and “ Garnett,” ‘ Garnett,” was the warcry all overthe house. Mr. G@. still remaining in his hiding’ place, there was a thundering call for “ broder” Douglass. Here the spirit moved “ broder” Garnett, a co- lored evangelical, who at last came forward amidst plau- dits, hisses, groans and roars of laughtor, and evaporated as follows :—"Leddees and genlems”—‘ genlems and leddees.”—I stand here and it would be more pleasing to my feelings if my frents had not ‘ plaudid mo so much.” It'much reminds me of scenes through which | have passed. There was a remark made by Mr. my frent Jackson about Canada, and I must say I would ra- ther go to Canada and have the roaring lion grin- ning with his foaming jaws at me, than remain a slave under the eagle of the United States, Sern applause). At this moment we noticed a reporter who had been ta- king a note of the proceedings, grow pale. We suppose that the delicate aroma which so Ligaiee 4 delectated our olfactory organs proved too much for his too suscep- tible nose, and as he gradually subsided from the sanc- tuary, we were forcibly reminded of the oft, repeated quotation, Fs “ Sweets to the sweet.” - Ina few minutes Mr.Garnett proceeded in his usual strain, in some degree condemning the policy of Mr. Jackson ; at all events until they. had made a collection in the room, \d said they wanted gronse to oil their Anti-Slave: railroad cars here, the apostle looked towards the middle of the audience languishing eye and atid, he saw there a broder—yer, broder who would warm all ‘our hearts to-night, and which will make you put your Rande in your pockets and take thotefrom theroll the Committee at present require, that is five dollar pieces with eagles on them, square and round dollars, and th is id aetins we require.

Twenty-Ninth Anniversary ofthe Now York Sunday School Union. This interesting occasion was celebrated yester- day afternoon, at the Tabernacle, where exercises appropriate to the occasion, were performed. The inside of the Tabernacle presented a lively, pleasing, and picturesque appearance. The ground floor was occupied by the children of the various Sabbath Schools, with their teachers, and at the back of the reading desk, and in front of the or- gan, were the children of the Protestant Half Or- phan Asylum, who looked exceedingly neat and clean, and interesting. The little lads were all dressed in grey clothes, with white turned over ehirt collars, tied with a plain black ribbon; and the little girls, in checked frocks, with white aprons, and neat gingham sun bonnets, upon their heads. Some of the little creatures appeared to be perfectly lost in awe, delight and wonderment, and will probably recol- lect the occasion until the day of their death, The whole appearance was gay and cheerful in the extreme. Many banners, containing scriptural devices and insori| tions, very neatly executed, which were placed in vari- ous parts of the room, added to the prettiness of tho scene. The galleries were filled with spectators, mostly females, who appeared to participate in the delight of the juveniles, most of them Deiae pereats or ives of the younger actors in the days performance. The oxer cises began witha hymn, commencing “Come, ye children, and adore him, Lord of all, he reigns above, Come and worship, uow before him, He hath called you by his love.” Which was sung by all the children, in very good tune and time, and having a very pleasing effect, the shrill- ness of the children’s voices! pebte tempered by the deeper sounds of the organ. After the hymn, ono of the Reverend gentlemen present, made a prayer; after which, another hymn, composed for the occasion, was sung. The Rey. Mr. Asnort then delivered a brief sort of address suited to the capacity of his hearers and appro- priate to the occasion, but such contained a little too much cant to please the more sensible portion of the audience, A Rev. Bodh from New Jersey, thon delivered another address—a prayer was made—another hymn or two were sung and grace pronounced. It had been pro- posed that a procession should be formed at 3 o’clock to march down to the Battery, but from the length of time occupied in the .exorcises within doors, the outdoor dis- play was not so great, as many of the children hed got jagged out and did not join in the procession.

This Union held its twenty-ninth anniversary last evening at the Tabernacle, and attracted a crowded audience. The exercises of the evening were opened by prayer and singing, followed by Mr. Dowtta, who adimadverted severely on the course of. the Romish Church in. interdicting the reading of the Bible, He regretted he had had oceasion to mourn over its banishment from our public schools, and he had felt much for the destitute condition of children in those echools, whose only opportunity probably, of acquiring scripture knowledge, had thus been ta- ken from them. He related a most pithy anecdote touching the reading of the Bible through the medium of « Priest, as practiced by the Romish Church, He allu. ded, in terms of just horror, to the Infidel Convention at present going on in this city, and was assured that the Sabbath schools prevented the surest safeguard against any of the rising generation being reduced into the adop- tion of ts cold and cheerless doctrines. ‘The ignorance of the contents of the Bible was the grent cause of infi- delity, aud familiarity with its contents the surest barrier . He related too beautiful incidents of the power of the Bible to comfort persons while Jaboring under afflic- tions of auy kind. He spoke at some length, and in most eloquent style, and concluded by offering a resolution, ar follows, viz 1— Resolved, That in view of the efforts now m: voootes of aati-Christian error,to impede the cir sacred Seriptures among the youth of our land, ce them to its choerles# and | | | | | | | | the exigencies of the pres sons and our daughters again nd the tebe vidently rdaptod to ation, to protect our ast the artiul seditctions of blaspliesay of the other.
