Yesterday forenoon, at ten o'clock, the abolitionists beld another meeting, in the Leeture Room of the So- ciety Library, Broadway. There were not so many pretty females present as on the day before, and those who did attend got together in one of the inner corners of the building, probably in anticipation of what was brewing, for “coming events cast their shadows before.”” There was ® considerable number of the colored race in attendance, of both sexes, Nearly all the abolition- ists present, except the negros, were strangers. There was a large aitendance of the young men of our city, who are not abolitionists; and Captain Rynders ted the opposition. The police were posted all xyound the building, beneath the building, and in the building. The Sheriff, Tom Carnley, was there, and his posse comi- tatus, yet, all combined, could not get a hearing for the abolition leaders, The mecting was called to order by Mr. Garrison, who re-read the resolution offered om Tuesday In tho Tabor- nacle, with twoor three others, declaring that aboli- tion was the truc tost of @ Christian im thease latter days, and that all other tests were “lesther amd pru- nella.”” Ife then introduced Roy. Mr, May, one of che Secretaries, who advocated the resolutions, and con- cluded by saying he had in bis possession » quantity of Philips's Review of Danicl Wobster's spooch in the Senate, which he would soll at $3 per 100. (Roars of laughter.) Me bad also # bundio of Rer. Theodore Parker's specch on slavery, but he covld not tell the price, ashe had not yet opened it, (Renewed laugh. ter aud whistling) Me, Garrison then read another resolution, denouncing Daniel Webster as a traitor to the caure of freedom in giving his support to Mason's slave-catehing bill, and declaring that it was a high crime aguinst God to subject a nogro to trial by jury for his freedom. After reading the rosolution, he in- vited any one in the meeting to come on the platform and express his sentiments. After a pause— Mr. Grew, one of the society of Frieuds, from the Quaker City, proceeded to address the meeting, He said he would not contend that all abolitionists were Christians ; neither would he maintain that all who who were opporcd to abolition wero not Christians. erations of ironical applause were so loud that the feeble voice of the old man was drowned, When he concluded, there were loud calls fer “ Doug. lass” from all parts of the room; but it was like calling & black epirit from the vasty deep—Donglass would not come. In (he meantime, “the pressure from without” wax continually increasing, and the room became densely crowded. At this stage of the proce edings, Mr. C. C, Buxi nan, editor of a Hartford paper, aud & poet—the seme strange-looking individual whom we mentioned yesterday, as being present at all the mectings of Tuesday—eame in, and ascended the plat- form, amidst the most uproartous shouts of deriston. It will be recollected that this is the person we took for @ red republican or socialist reformer, lately Imported ‘buy the freedom of the slaves. This is the only honest way to set them free. Tiere there were loud calls for Professor Grant, wes ‘I pag kon ghnky oa id A stalworth ye , here said—Captain, will you let Professor Grank speak” (Laughter). Professor Grant appealed for order. Carraix Ryxpens—We are willing to hear you or apy one else; but no American can stand here and hear the country ‘abused. (Tremendous cheering.) Prorysson Gnant—Shall I t Cartain Ryxpexs—I want all to remember that if you tre heard, they must listen to every ono else that speaks after you. Ispeak only for myself; but I for one am opposed to hearing him. I am not opposed to you, Professor, but only to hearing you. For I cannot conscientiously demand order for you, without doing it for others. ‘The calls for Douglass were here again renewed; but he would not come forth, F Mr. Tuomas Moons here proposed the following reso- ution: “Resolved, That this meeting doos not see suMciont reasons for interfering with the domestic institu. tions of the South, even if it were constitutional—which fanatical tien, whose aims and ends are the overthrow of hurches. a reign of anarchy, a division of in- the supremacy of @ hypocritical athoism, « encral amalgamation, and a dissolution of the Union, For these ressons this meeting recommends to these huwanity-mongers the confining of its investigations to the progress of degradation among the neyroos of id the increasing inequality and poverty of the free whites and blacks of Now York, and similar places, instead of dealing iu seurrility, blasphomy, and vituperation.”’ This resolution was seconded by dozen together, 4nd received with shouts of applause.

One of the singers was an intoresting, mild young woman, whose position was painful in such a stormy meeting. ‘The cries for ~ Douglass” were renewed. Vaw Rexssatser, (an aged colored man, with grey hair) came forward amidst « volley of jeers,—He said You see by my skin that am oie of the prescribed race.

(Ie- newed laughter ) Daring this epeech there was an underplot golug on under the rostrum, between Tom Carnley, the Serif, Tom Burns, and one or two others, The result was that the Sheriff arrested Burns, when he would have been reseed, but he insisted om going out quictly with the Sheriff. Mr. Havizaxp then mounted the rostrum and «aid ‘The Sheriff bestaken out one man-—he will take nore of you, if you don’t conduet yourselves better. (Shouts of derision.) Captain Ryxpens—Will you take avy one? Mr. Havnaxp—You ought to be more of a gentlo- man. (Confusion and uproar.)

We have received, by the steamship Cherokee files of Nicaragua, Salvador, and other journaly of Central America, to the 10th of April. The intelligence they contain is interesting and im- portant. We have also received a letter from a correspondent, who came passenger in the steamer. The letter is annexed :— To THe Eortox or re Wemarn :- It has been come time since I had the pleasure o addressing you a few lines from Central America; eir- cumstances kept me from so doing.

Chancellor Watwourn then briefly moved the fol- lowing resolution:—-That the annual report, an ab- and stiact of which has now been read, be adopt published under the dircetion of tho exccutiv mittes; and that the society recognixe with de gratitedo the proofs it ailurds of the increasing w hers of the institution, under the blessing of the Triune God.” Lis resolution having been put to the meeting, was unanimowsly adopted. Chief Justice Hoaxsiow rn, who appeared to be labor- ing under indisposition, moved the next resolution, which wae also adopted:—That under # popular go- vermment, and with a free press, the influence of » purely Evangelical literature, universally diffused, is indisyeusable to the permanence and well-being of our soctel, civil, and religious institutions” The assembly then joined in singing & hymn, expres- sive of thankegiving to God for the success that had attended the society's labors, aud which was specially preparcd for the oocaston, Rev. J.B. Suaw, of Rochester, moved the next reso- “Thi lution : » in the rapid increase of emigrants frem Europe, and the obvious adaptation of colportage to their spiritual necessities, we find urgent inceatives for the rpordy and universal application of this system to that class of our population.” He referred to the multitudes of emigrants who came to this country. end divided them into classes ; first, those who eame throvgh necessity, and in consequence of the priva- tions they endured at home, Second, those who came through ® love of republican institutions, and the prineiples of civil and religious liberty ; and others again, to complete the category, who were fugitives from justice in their own coustry. He then adduced 8 few considerations to show why we should be reconeil- ed to the presence of those emigrants. With that view, he would observe, that they themsvelvesowed what they d to their fathers, aud it was in consequence of Ube invitation of there tethers that thove ta, who now came amongst them, bad visited these shores. Were they then to stand on the graves of their tathers and try to undo what they had so nobly done? Ano- ther reason why they should be reconciled to the pre- | sence of those emigrants was, that they | then which these emigrants presented to the conditiea | of the citizens of thia coantry, should teach them a lesson never to be forgotten. “he third reascn which should reconcile us to their prosenes, was tho tact ood to clear our for- our roads, to put up our telegraphs, to construct our aqueducts other descriptions of labor, the children of the soil, were not lightened Christianity, therefore, ned patriotiam, wo should be reconciled Among these emigrants the Tract eld for their labors; and he thelr best energies would be dto ivation resolution was The Kev.
