Philips, of Boston, was to grve a lecture on slavery last evening, at the Brooklyn Institute, we proceeded thither, and found that the Institute, though at first purtly promised, had been afterwards refused, and another placard was posted, stating that the lecture would be given in Plymouth Church, Orange street. On repairing to that builing, we found it nearly empty, but in half en hour it was quite filled. There was not a single negro present. The lecture was announced for half-past seven o’clock, but did not commence till eight o'clock. On motion of Rev. Mr. Brgcier, the pastor of the congregation, Hiram Barnunr Exq., was called to the chair. Prayer having been offered, Rev. Mr. Brercusr addressed the assembl. in explanation of the circumstances under which they had met in his church. He differed in many ‘important points from the gentleman who was abowt to address them. But there were two points upon which there were no difierence of opinion in this Ameri- can community. One was the right of conscience; the other was the right of free speech. These were rights pee under all free gevernments, but especially under this republican government they were held sucre: hold that every man has a right to speak what he thinks, even if he were a thousand times blacker than the gentleman who is to speak to-night, (1 mean iw his sentiments,) and, therefore, 1 freely give place to him, especially as from prudential considerations he has been refused the use of the bui wf he expected. (Applause, mingled with hisses.) Mr. Purtirs then came forward and said, that he received with feelings of deep gratification the ob- servations made by the reverend gentleman who had just set down. The right of free speech was almost the only high thing that governments se- cured to man, except, indeed, free thought, if that were controllable. What, after all, was the value of gevernment? It was to educate men and to develope the germ of liberty, of thought, and speech, which God had implanted in the human breast, that men might become wiser and better by the interchange of thought and speeeh—to permit thought to go free like a chartered libertine, to work out the progress of the human race. The abolitionists are charged with using hard language; the question is the language true? It is easy torit on the heights of criticism and look down with @ scrutinizing eye upon the work. done by oth- ers, which we ought to have done ourselves, and to say, but for these rude guns, I would be a sol- dier.”” (Laughter.) Men engaged in such rough work as the abolitionists, with the majority against them, cannot be always very choice in their lan- guage; it they were, they would probably not obta public ear. “The scholar may sit in his study, and take care that his language is not exaggerated; but the rude mass of men are not to be caught by balanced periods—they are caught by men whose ‘words are half battles. From Luther down, the charge against every re- former has been that his tongue is too rough. Be it so. Rovgh instruments are used for rough work. What is slavery? The denial of every right of man. The slave isa thing. The slave is de- nied the right of marriage—the only institution that hos survived the garden. One vast legalized prostitution is the condition of slavery. The slave is denied the right to his labor. When the child of the slave is born, the hand of another ts placed on his brow, and claims it as his own, despite of the ties of father and mother. And when the ehild grows up, all knowledge is denied to him.— ‘The Bible is a prohibited book. Agui the slave is a thing, because it is portable, and the child can be separated from the mo- ther, and the wife from the husband. In the old peperé of Massachusetts, one hundred years ago, yeu will find such advertisements as this—*A worn to be sold, and her child, six weeks old ; to be sold together or separately.” At the present time, such advertisements abound ia all the South- ein papers.

Female Privon Discipline Society. The fifth anniversary of this extensively usefut society was celebrated in thé Tabernacle, yester- doy afternoon, at 3 o'clock, exd wav attended by & large number of ladies. It was amnounced that the children from the Home, et Remdall’s Island, would have been present, botthey did not arrive until neer the conclusion of the meeting, owing to some misunderstanding. Judge Hoverr occupied the chkir, and opened the meeting by introducing Dr. Wrruews, of Phila- delphia, to the meeting, who said he would hardly aseert that he was not accustomed to pablic speak- ing, sincehe had, during that weelr, spoken no eas! than four times from thet pletform. He had not the happy tact of saying no! possessed by of some his older brethren, and to this weakness he ascribed his being placed in the postion he then occupied. Such being the case, he would not be guilty of a long speech. As they» had latterly had so many good speeches, they were somewhat in the posinon of the boy, who having eaten to the full, and filled his pockets, cried because he could not dispose of any more; and, therefore, being eimilarly cireunist. |, brevity would be a recommendation to any future speeches they might hear. Still they must’ not, and would net pass by any great matters of public interest. Public be- archer enterprises would not flag because they forgot to countenance them. If there was vn thing at the present day (of workiliness, it ~ ae be culled) that encouraged him in the behief that the cause of God was advancing, it was the fact of the "multiplicnti f these societies for the ame- lioration of the dition of the human race, The very essence and life of the Christian religion, «s pruelt by the precepts and example of its Great ounder, commanded that we should “ love one another,” be land to one another. And,if there was one portion of the e that required Usis kind- hess more than another, it was that portion whose int this society sought to promote; those whom through misfortune and temptation, have been led. into crime. Should it b= deemed utopian by any, sw right traiu- ing, to reform those who had been stained with sin, he would ask, was it Christian—was it even expedient, that, because our fellow men.or wo- men had fallen into transgression, that we, their fellow-sinners, should eut t all syrn- pathy ? was not the spirit of the Ladies’ Prison Discipline Society.
