"Tho passage of ihe Muse "ee fanmediately after last versary gave not only ® mew ianpuise to the cause, but a mew type to the general measures hout the country. No form of {egisla- tion ever met with such univers: proval as the Maine law; and tho friends and rider de | of temperance had asked for the Maine law, and asto its essential features nothing butthe Maine law. At the Inst anoual_mecti the society had just commen¢ed its efforts for the relief, employment, and effectual restoration of inebriates at the industrial temperance, and to this movement attention Rae principally directed throughout the summer and ‘The neceerity and utility ofan asylum for Inebriates, and its worthiness compared with o'her objects of public utility, was impressed on the Legislature at the extra ees- sion," Testimenials in favor of the {ome were presented from several tcclesiastical bodies. from the Grand Jury the Recorder of the city, Police justices, District Attor- ney and others, and the Legiclature made ap appropria- tion of twe thousand dollars. So this sum the society added nearly three thousaud dollars. making the entire expense of the institution about. ‘ee for ten months. The namber of inmates in the cme from May 3, 1851. to March 1, 1862, was 400, and the average number about 75. In the chapel of th» Home the Gospel has been dispensed every Sabbath by a en, was prea there the conference, supported by the Ladies’ Hom> Miscionary hepa ‘Two prayer meetings, two temperance meetings, and a children’s singing school have been held ‘weekly; as also,a weekly mecting for those who desired fpecial religious instruction, has been held by Mr. C. C. frie Pc jad gine Lela’ juperint lent reported that nearly one hundred had left the institution in the eight mouths prior to the year 1852; but from most of them very little informa- thon has been had since they left, The report then recommenda the total abolition of the dramehops, as the only means fer the effectual relict and restoration of inebriates. While the society had not loet its convictions of the necessity or utility ‘of an asylum for inebriates. and had not abandoned its original purpose, it has been deemed judicious to discontinue, as a society, the special efforts that hnve been made in this locality. The connection of the society with the Indus- trial Home ceased on the first of March. ‘The entire energies of the society are now to be de- ‘voted to the enactment of a Maine law for New York State, and the prompt and full execution of such law in New York sy. Tn January last the society made an effort to petition the Legislature for a prohibitory law. About thirty men, most of them heads of families, and out of employment, were engeRed for two weeks, at an expense of more than $260, ‘They obtained 25,000 names—20,000 of them names of men, which were sent to the Legialature in one rol}. About 5,000 other names were afterwards forwarded. As the session drew to a close, with little or no prospect of 2 action being had for the benefit of temperance, tho soeiety directed their secretary to address a memorial to that body, urging the immediate passage of a prohibitory law, upon wi ® vote was mn, which showed that, aside from the fifteen members from ‘New York city, who ‘voted against the law, the Assembly were equally divided on this question. ‘The next effort of the Society was to call the attention of the Grand Jury to the illegal manner in which licenses poe it to the sions, that have been given, and permits to sell liquor with- out a license; iu violation of law. If the present Commis- sioners of Excise, consisting of the , With the Alder- man and Assistant of cach ward, follow the steps of some of their in office, this action of the Grand Jury lays a foundation for them to be by some not very future Grand Jury not only presented but indicted for misdemeanor. To prevent the necessity for such a paintul-resort, the Executive Committec directed the Secretary to prepare and address memorial to each of the Excise Commis- sioners. This has been done. The memorial scts fort: the grounds on which the Grand Jury based their pre- ventment. It also has o legal argument, which shows that not only in the pointe condemned by the Grand Jury, but in other respects, the whole course of of the Commissioners, in granting licenses, is and inconsistent with not only Revised ites, but the particular laws that relate to this city. This memorial has been presented to his Honor the op! Mayor, and to cach of the and Assistants. The Fork of i is now going forward in the City Hall. jo opportunity has been afforded for those ns of law to which the Grand Jury refer, but the same irregu- Jer practice is adopted as formerly.

The order was made returnable this day, and to embrace the last four Sabbaths. The re- ‘turns were made this morning from four wards.

Show the legions of rnm that the tempe- rance hosts are not dispersed nor discouraged, and show distinctly to the voters of this city that they have a spe- cial duty to perform at the next election. The . Rorvs W. CLarK, of Boston, then ad- dreseed the meeting, urging that the Maine Liquor Jaw was the only effectual means, and arguing it was as constitutional as to legislate against murdor or forgery, and that he belicved it could be carried into efiect. Many ee had thought this would not be so in when Neal Dow had been superseded; but he had a letter from his successor, the present ‘Mayor of Portland, which spoke positively as to that head. From that letter he would read ‘the follow- ing:— fn order that may understand my position as Mayor. you should be informed that 1 was nominated as eandidate ys Ad litical party te which I have always belonged.

The thirty-sixth anniversary of this society was held yesterday morning, at the Tabernacle. There was a large and respoctable attendance. The chair was taken by the Hon. T. Frelinghuy- sen, and on the platform were several distinguished clergymen. The proceedings having been opened with prayer, the annual report was presented, of which tho fol- lowing is an abstract :— During the past year two of the Vice Prosidgpts, John ‘dower LED. ot New Yersey, and the — ‘James M'Dowell, of Virginia, have been removed by death. ‘There have been added to the society during the year seventy-three life directors, 1.190 life members, and sixty- three auxiliaries, The réceipts of the year, from all sources, «mount to $308,744 81; being an increase of $31,842 28 beyond those of the previous year; $24.130 67 more than was ever received befure by the soci during any single year. The number of Bibles printed during the same period is 239.000; and of ‘Testaments, 476,500, making o total of 706.500 copies. The number of Bibles distributed is 221,456; and of testaments, 444.565; making a total for the year of 666,015. ‘This is an increase of 73,583 over the issues of the previous year, and makes an aggregate since the formation of the society, of 8,238,982 Bibles and Testa- ments. The society has prepured aroyal octavo Bible, in pica, for the use of families, and for the aged, who required a larger letter; and a New Testament in French and Ling. lish, in parallel columns, The board has likewise pub- lisbed the books of Joshua, Judges, Ruth, I. Samuel, II. Samuel, and I. Kingsin the Choctaw tongue, under the direction of the Rev. Cyrus Byington, of the Choctaw Miesion. and the Gospel of John, in the Grebo language, for the Protestant Episcopal Mission in Western Africa. The collation of the Knglish Bible, mentioned in the two previous reports, is now completed. ‘and an account of it will be furnished in the report of the present year. The society has had in its employ thirty one agents through moet of the year, inclu ing two in ‘Texas and one in California, Grants of Bibles*and Testaments, in greatly increased numbers, have been made by the board to local auxiliaries; to the various Missionary Boards; to Sunday schools;to seamen and boatmen; to the blind, and to in- dividuals for gratuitous distribution among the destitute both at home and abroad. Bésides the grants of books, $50,000 has been granted by the board in moncy to aid in publishing the Scriptures in foreign lands, especially in China, Northern and Southern India, and in Turkey, France, and Russia, under the direction of various missionary boards and Bible organizations, The saciety has purchased grounds, and commenced the erection of a new Bible house in Astor Place, the present house being ow quite too emall. The Rey. Mr. BEDDELL moved the first resolution. Resolyed, That the report, an abstract of which has been read. be printed and circulated under the direction of the Board of Managers. He congratulated the society upon ite unusual prosperity. The Bible could not le made better, and it was gratifying to know that the world was prepared in this age of progress to receive it. They were permitted to look into faturity with an en- larged hope. The report was their annual adver- tisement, and told their friends how much it de- sired their encouragement. The Rev. Dr. Tuompson, in seconding the resolu- tion, remarked upon the universality of the mission of the society. It pointed to the civilization of the world, and was the only rule of our faith and prac- tice. It was the only means of securing the con- version of the world. It was 1,800 years since the gospel was announced, and’ yet how large a pro- portion of the world was unenlightened in its truths simply because the Church had not put the Bible in its proper place. There was a charm in the book beyond its precepts, its philosophy, or its poetry, or its majesty of style. Skeptics tried to annoy with rockets and pocket pistols, but there was no artillery they could not bring against it. Skepticism was an error of the heart, and not of the brain, and resulted from depravity. Let him quietly ypad the book, and either close his eyes, or acknowledge it as the work of God. There was a two-edged sword ia the Bible, sharp and cutting to the heart. The Catholic priest would allow ‘you to argue and talk, but the moment you asked him to put the Bible before his people he was roused; for he woll knew its power ant philosophy. Give the people the Bible, and they would soon, in the languege of Lord Bacon, ay out ee themselves systems of worship. jause. 7 ‘he Rey. T. L. Cuyter, of Trenton, N. J., moved the second regolution :— Resolved, That the adaptedness of the Bible to all conditions of society, and all grades of intellect, as shown by its past Bistory, brings us evidence of its divine oneit, and inspires us with hope as to its future success in enlightening and purifying the world. _ He maintained that tho Bible was adapted to all conditions and waats ; it was the book for all, and was like God’s pure air and water--good for the prince and good for the peaeant. It went higher than the human intellect ever reached, and went down farther than de, tion had ever gone. No mind had fathomed it, and yet it was adapted to the comprehension of the simple child. It saturated the gigantic intellect of Chalmers. He adduced the happiness which it afforded to the poor, and to the slave. It wasthe book of the humble, outcast, African slave. Never did he visit a sadder chamber than that of Sir Walter Scott. He said to Lock- hart “Read to me.” ‘What shall I read?” said Lockhart. ‘‘There is but one book,” he replied. What a tribute was that from the mightiest master of the enchantments of the world, notwithstanding he was surrounded Bigs libraries of literature ; to a dying man there wasbut one book. ‘Charles James ‘ox, the consummate orator, confessed that he had studied to the book of Job, which aided his reflec- tion, and which Homer’s Virgil’s ‘Bncids and. German Manse, Where wae ce. ere anything so picturesque in its descriptions? In'these great reformatory times what could bedone without this great charter? Did they not recollect its power in connection with the reeent temperance agitation and the anti-slavery movements? They must carry it into all their councils and agitations ; they must bring in this frreat primeval essence. (Applause.) ey must allow no man to place his hands on household piety; we were safe everywhere with the Bible. Give it to high and to low—to all. He jiced in their prosperity, and let them diffuse the high blessings it afforded. They must not ex- rit of exclusiveness, ( Applause.) The Rey. Dr. Witxs seconded the resolution. He related an anecdote of the dostruction of the absurdities of the Catholic ‘‘confessional,” by o man’s reading a chapter of the Bible. God gave the Bible to mankind, and it was a high frand on humanity to keep, it out of their hands. There was no tyranny or robbery equal to such a suppression, and it was as bad as blotting the sun from out of the heavens. They would ever carry on war against such practices of the Romish churchi—-faat Justicia. (App jause.) e Rev. Dr. Rinpiz, of Pittsburg, Penn., moved the next resolution :— Resolved, That the Bible is so thoroughly a tried book, as to constitute at once a reason for our trast in it, and a motive forits speedy and universal diffusion. He remarked that the Bible kad beon tried both by its enemies and its friends, and had come through ¢ fire unscathed, and all the purer to us. God had magnified his work, and hence its sperity. It was wanted by all, rich and poor, ule and Soi for all were sinners. The ucts of its universal trials were the same, and it had been tried by every class of society and by men under every variety of circumstances—by the civilized and the savage, and by every national feeling, and by the great American genius. He onl: upon the consola- tory effects of the Scriptures, and its effect on the conduct of mankind, and in promoting Le, ge They Gerd to take a prominent Pa in the uni- Mee ; fusion of the sacred Scriptures. (Ap- plause. Goneral Witt1am Wi.1aMs, of Norwich, Conn., seconded the resolution, which, like the preceding ones, was adopted. Tho Rev. Wa. GoopeLt moved the following resolution Resolved, That ee faollities now furnished for circulating the iptures not only in Christian, but in Mohammedan and I lands, should fill all our hearts ool tines and lead the feiends of this Society to on- Mortsand sacrifices in the good work to which are called. ring his sojourn in Mohammodan countrios for thirt; years, ho had witnessed the perversions of the people those countries, and their flagrant absur- and errors.

(Ap- plause.) The Bible had been fully tried, and had never boon found even to incur w risk. What con- tributed to the eepsrlosity of our country? Not climate or soil, for the Spanish Roman Catholic was atill sleeping, and his political condition unsettled. The energy of the Bible had enabled the Yankee to mako more money out of his granite hills, than the iard had made out of his gold and silver minos. (Applause.) In Switzerland, a friend had told him that he cduld tell a Catholic canton from a Protes- tant one by the condition of the roads, and the as- pect of the people. {Applause.) Beautiful Italy! the country of Dante, Ariostos, Horace, Virgil, ty Casar and Cicero, was over-run by bondi i, an deprossed by the superstition of her tyrannical chureh. (A) use.) Decay was writen upon Italy, and let the Roman Catholic Church answer for it. Let'them look at the condition of Spain, which was in ‘a premature dotage, with bull fights as a pas- time, and politieal broils as the regular business. (Applause and laughter.) What was the reason that Scotland was superior to England in the observ- anco of religion, and in literature? It was owing to the influence of the Bible, and the strict observance of the Sabbath. (Great applause.) Let them look at the squallid condition of Ireland. Ttwas not in the government, because there wag an immense difference between the Catholic and the Protestant counties in Ireland in point of Beoeperi It was notin the people; give an.Irjshman God’s word, and he was every inch a gentleman. It was net the race or the government, but the darkenin; éffects of the Catholic religion, and the influence oj the priests. The Bible taught men not only to live Bas to die, and was immortal in its character. (Ap- jQuseE. ‘ The bev. Dr. Spring seconded the resolution.’ He hoped the influence of the Bible would be inter- woven with the patriotism and institutions of this country. The conservative influence of tho Bible, and that alone, had saved the American people. Even among the Oriental nations they had reached that point where the Scriptures wore acknowledged. That fact struck him with great force. That was where Christianity was born. (Applause.) The resolution was adopted. Rey. Dr. 8uarr, of Boston, then pronounced a benediction, after which the meeting separated. The American Female Guardian Soctety. The eighteenth anniversary of the American Female Guardian Society and Home for the Friend- less, was held last Wednesday evening, in the Church of the Puritans, Union square, Rev. Dr. Tyng in the chair. The meeting was numerously attended by ladies, sympathizing with the unfor- tunates of their own sex, who, wretched and friendless, aré left open to the temptation of sin, and with the pitiable offspring of parents, who, lost in crime themselves, leave their miserable children exposed to poverty and temptations. After the introductory prayer, and singing of the anniversary hymn by the children, Dr. Tyng read tho following abstract of the report of the Society for the past Receipts for the current year... Expenditures Coase + $15,490 32 15,133 08 Balance in the treasury $357 24 After alluding briefly to the motives and considerations that led to the organization of the Society, and to the va- rious measures that have been adopted for the early pre- vention of vice and the moral guardianship of thegriend- less, and the sorrowful evidences that bave contfhiually developed the necessity of the efforts. put. forth; the re- port gives the following summary of statistics. Through she press. the Society has placed before the reading pub- lic an average of 2,280,000 folio pages, and two hundred and eighty-five thousand three hundred and thirty. 6, 12, and 1$mo, pages of readable matter fer annum, amount- ing in the aggregate to 47,176,000 pages, thus silently mak- ing known trom year to year their work and its results, and impressing upon a large massof mind the great prin- ciples of virtue, benevolence and truth. The present semi-monthly issue of the Society's pe odical, ** The Advocate and Guardian,” subecribers have been received the pasi y: “ Pamphlets,’ “Walks of Usefulness,” to several thousand. have also been put gratuitously and otherwise. Through the register office, 1,613 applicants for the “Charity of Work and Wages,” have received attention, many of whom have been removed trom the temptations of the city to a plearant home in the country. The Society has received from various auxiliaries and friends, 862 boxes, barrels, and parcels of olo Ueduing, pro= visions, &e., which have proved “ substatitial aid’ in their large home fumily and among their numcrous bene- ficiaries. 139 life members have also been added to their list. The visiters among the out-door poor have be- stowed upon the deserving and necessitous, 3,480 articles of wearing apparel, bedding. &.,&c. Through this in- srumentality many have been relicved from suffering and peril. ‘ Te number of miles traversed by various committees, in conveying childxen to their appointed guardians, end in looking after their interests, has been 3.634. The House of Industry and Home for the Friendless has, dur- ing the past year, become free from debt—the last pay- ment, due upon the peers having been fully liquidated. The whole number of inmates sheltered by this institu- tion since its commencement in July 1847, been 2,936; children, 1,146; adults, 1.790. Number of adults and children received the bef rH including re-admissions, 480; adults 361, children The o Teport-ctes many interesting Sllustrations of tho good resulting from the labors of the Society, with nu- tnd thelr preseat posrdiens, and fetory, a cloning. tats and their present q e $rry ‘wide doors at ueefulueps that are ‘opened to this As- rociation. not only in this city, but throughout the en- tire country, wherever laborers may be found, The Rev. J. L: Cuvier addressed the meeting on “behalf of the society. He said that after the very impressive narrative embodied in the report to which they had listened, he feared he came as an intruder, when he woulda ar simply as a speaker. Never can I forget the peculiar feeling 1 experienced when, after some time straying through the aisles of Westminster Chapel, gazing upon the tombs of warriors and of statesmen, I came to one solitary cold slab; it had only a name upon it, I read with reverence and awe the name of William Wilberforce. I felt Iwas an intruder the mere tourist oocyte that holy spot. Here, said I, is the end of God’s holy toiler—the end of one who was a blessing to humanity—a' man before whom the Pitts and the Foxes, the Bulwers and tho Byrons, shall be reckoned ag nought. We estimate man aright when we value him for blessings which he bestows upon his fellow men. The speaker re- ferred tothe position of women in society, and said I am a firm believer in woman’s rights. Woman, who guards and defends ue, and stands at the threah- old of that world which lives through erernity. Is. there a holier word than mother ? No; that word vibrates to the heart ofall. He remembered upon ‘one occasion that when some visiters had com¢ to the Home established by this society, one of the children of the Home, who had noticed, with spark- ling eyes, the care and love which was bestowed upon a child of one of the visiters by its mother, burst into tears and cried, “Why, have not I a mother !” Words of kindness to the friendless, he said, were cherished in heaven. Words of kindness were often the means of saving many of these un- fortunates, who have afterwards cherished and kept in remembrancethose words which had brought them back from the errors of their ways and led them to peace and happiness. We build splendid churches and spacious squares in our city, and yonder is Brooklyn, the City of Churches, vieing with us; and I cannot conceive how some of those people who live in the Fifth avenue and in Broadway, can go to their houses of worship, where they can sit im ease and comfort, without exppriencing a desire to aid in the great work of this society. Let us go into this great city—let us go into the Five Points, and look upon ‘the map of misery there—let us go to those wretched abodee of suffering, and those depths of unclean- ness, a8 did our blessed Saviour, and let us behold ; amounting cireulation, those. wret , wandering bands of filthy rags, which we b: esy call children, and let us take them from/their squalor, want, ang ignesenes and their duties to train them up in the knowledge of God and man; for every one of thom has an im- mortal soul, and “‘of sueh”’—as said our Saviour— “is the of ven.” New York must sustain ome of the Friendless; it is not the great publi buildings of marble that are the pride of the citys but it is its public charitable institu- tions which are its greatest boast. Mrs. Duncan, the noblest woman of hor sex, in a work on America, speaks of the Home of the Friendless much more than she does of public buildings. Remember, as you go to your homes to-night, and bend at your houschold altars, that eee sympathies have done something towards giving a home to- those who, but for you, would have not and if you should meet one of those children in God’s home, it will be a blesséd thing for you to remember that you put out your hand to help them here® After the con- clusion of Mr. Cuyler's addross, another hymn was Bung by. the children, and then @ Rev. Dr. Down1nc was introduced to the meeting, and ded to urge the claims of the peolaty on their patronage that of the public. t poke at length of tho influence of education dren, and besought parents to guard woll nm little ones given to theigeare against te tion. saivotied to the pe Se of theken sin which @ man may commit, which m’ght be likened to tho striking of a which should through all eternity, the resulte of whieh, repentance, i » mattor how sincere, can never obviate. He spoke of the condition of the orphan as that, above all others, which should touch the heart of man with pity. He begged them to pour in their contributions for the su of the parentlees and friendless, and so might the blessing of God still continue to smile upon them, and the blessing of those ready to perish light up their gd A collection was then taken up in aid of the society. A benediction was pronounced by Dr. Tyna, and the congregation dispersed. The Deaf and Dumb Institution. A most interesting exhibition of the merits of this institution, and its claims on public support, was afforded yesterday afternoon, in Metropolitan Hall, The pupils of this establishment, numbering some 240, male and female, were conducted to the Hall at 4 o'clock, and occupied forms on the stage. Tho girls al! wore white muslin dresses, with belts mostly of blue ribbon, and looked remarkably neat and handsome. The boys, too, were nicely dressed, and all looked well, happy, and very intelligent. The public interest manifested for these poor doaf and dumb children, was proved by the crowded stato of the hall. Every portion of the capacious edifice was so full that the passage ways were foumpletely blocked up, although a shilling was charged for ad- mission. The exorcises were opened by the Rev. Mr. Goodell, with prayer; after which, the President— Harvey B. Peet—gave a brief exposition of the character of the institution, and the success which has attended its operations. The best proof of this, however, was the appearance of the children them- selves, with their bright, intelligent looks, evincing the care that has been bestowed upon them. The youngest class was first examined in the languago of signs, and showed a ready comprehension of their teacher’sinterrogatories. It wasextremely interost- .ing to see with what grace and eloquent gestures they replied to all ‘his inquiries, calling down hearty approbation from the spectators, many of whom kept up a telegraphic communication with thechildren. The oldest class was then examined by their teacher, J. L. Peet, writing their replies to his questions on a set of black boards placed on the stage. Some of the elder pupils afterwards wrote essays on various subjects, composed in vory pure language, and evincing a very advanced stage of education, combined with active poetical imagi- nation. These essays were read aloud by several gentlemen on the stage. Many of them expressed the gratitude of the writers to Mr. Harding, pro- prietor of the Metropolitan Hall, for his kindness in volunteering the gratuitous use of it to the institu- tion on this occasion; some of them were ardontly atriotic; and some were eulogistic to Kossuth and his mission. The roading of them was received with much applause. While the pupils were en- gaged in this composition, the president gave a few interesting sketches of the career of several of those who have been trained in the establishment. Some of them had been happily married, and others we pecereranad pursuing the trades which they ha een taught in the house. These trades are enerally cabinet making, tailoring, shoemak- ing, bookbinding, and gardening. The spoc- tators were then entertained by very humor- ous pantomimic representation of various domestic employments and incidents of every day life, such as milking, washing, climbing, horse-shocing, &c. A dialogue was held between two of the children— Miss Gertrude Walter, a beautiful, intellectual looking girl of twelve yoars of age, and Master Henry Haight. The eloquent signs and graceful attitudes of the children rendered the sceno highly interesting. Mr. Gammidge, a tall fous man of about twenty-one, recited in the language of signs, Shakspeare’s ‘Seven Ages,” from the com- edy of “As you like it,” and also represented “¢ Christ’s Calming the Tempest ;” and a handsome young girl recited a piece of poctry, entitled «Might makes Right.” ‘One of the teachers trans- lated’ to the audience the language of signs. The same young girl recited with much fervor and grace, “The Lord’s Prayer,” with which the pleasing ex- ercises were closed. Americanand Foreign Anti-Slavery Society. DISCUSSION ON THE COLONIZATION OF THE COLORED POPULATION-ATTACK OF THE BLACK UPON THE WHITE ABOLITIONISTS—ESOAPE OF A FUGITIVE SLAVE—WONDERFUL SUCCESS OF TIE BOOK OF HARRIET BEECHER STOWE—ABOLITION MISSION- ARIES TO BE SENT OUT TO MAKE CONVERTS, ETC. On Wednesday morning, at cight o’clock, an ad- journed meeting of the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society was held in the lecture room of the Tabernacle. Rev. J. Warner, Williamsburg, presided. The secretary was Dr. J. McCune Smith. The proceedings were opened with prayer by Rev. Mr. Coleman. Rev. Messrs. Jocelyn, Coleman and Dunbar were appointed a committee to nominate officers for the ensuing year. It was then ordered that the address read at Tuesday’s meeting be pub- lished. THE LATE MR. HOPPER. Mr. Lewis Tarran then offered the following re- solutione in relation to the late Mr. Hopper:— Heroived, That we venerate the memory of our de- ceased brother, Iraac J. Hopper, whose able, distinguish- ed, and successful labors on behuif of the slave were the distinguhing characteristics of his long and useful life, and will embalm his memory in the hearts of both bond and free, while stern integrity of purposes and indomi- re vise aabematy in philanthropy shall be appreciated an ored, Mr. Tappan said the deceased was a Bonaparto in philanthropy, and he was the architect of his own fortunes. Mr. McCune SmrH—We must go to a higher law for an explanation of what he was; he was the architect of something higher than fortunes, The following resolution was adopted without dis- cussion: — Rerolved. That the » progrens ef anti-slavery sentiment in this country, and. the present aspects of the anti- slavery cauee. while they call for decent gratitute to the God of the oppressed. should call forth action, exertion, and liberal contributions on the part of every man and weman in the country who prises liberty, and considers it the birthright of every fellow creature. ABOLITION MISSION ARIES. The following resolution was then read :— Resolved, That the General Committee be instructed toemploy agents and lecturers to appeal for funds, circu- late information, and adopt vigorous measures for the ad- vancement of the cause. Rev. Mr. Joc¥tyn advocated the resolution; these agents were necessary in order to get funds for the society, and to keep alive the anti-slavery spirit. Rev. Mr. Rankin, of Connecticut, contended that, instead of sending out second class men thoy ought to send out first class men, like Henry Ward Beecher, who would take hold of the attention of tke community, and they ought to pay them such salaries as would induce them to accept the agencies of the society ag lecturers. Rev. Duncan Dunbar said he often thought this seciety was foolish, for while every other society was employing agents, it was sending out none, and the active, energetic advocacy of the cause was absolutely necessary. Look at the effect of the meeting yester- day. Seldom had he seen any meeting so influen- There were all classes present, and ‘all en- dorsed the resolutions, with the exception of a few Repalalt hisses, which did not amount to anything. ents, therefore, would not only support them- selves, but fill the treasury. They had a very good papers but it was of little use compared witif the iving voice. He had not seen the first copy of it. An agent could tell in an hour what a paper could not ina year. They wanted men like Isaac Hopper —men ef his decision of character and meekness. If eras get such agents, they would soon have $50,000 in their treasury. The gold was God’s, and he had developed it not only in California but Australia, for the good of his cause. Rev. Mr. Cugxy did not think they wanted men of high talent so much as steady working men, who would reach the hearts of the people. Men of high talent will not engage inthe undertaking unless the crowd is first. on shat side, and then they will join it. They had several men of talent years ago, but where ere they now? $ The debate was here euspended. while the Rev. Mr. Jocelyn submitted the report of the Committee on Officers, us follows :— OfficersArthur Tappan, Prerident ; F. Julius L Moyne and Wm. Gay, Vice Presidents; Lewis Tappa Corresponding Secretary; Dr. Jas, McOune Smith, Ke. cording Secretary; Win. G. Whiting. Treasurer. Arthur Toppan, S T. Jocelyn, Wm. Gay, Lewis Tappan, Wm. G. Whiting, Joshua Leavitt, 8. B, Cornish; James Warn Il, Macdonald H, Buffun. G. Whipple, Clos, Ritter, J W. C. Pennington, H.D. Culver. Dr G, Lansing, Ch Parker, A. B. Everest. Rev, Duncan Dunbar, 45 Grove strect; Rev. A. Freeman. in lieu ot. Mr, Ray; Rev. Kenry Bolden, in ieu of Chas. Parker; Rev. B. R. War- ren, New York; Dr. McCune 8mith. The report was adopted, and the discussion was resumed. Mr. Lewts TAPRAN said he agreed with brother Cheney rather than with brother Rankin. If the could get brother Beecher it might do very well. But half a dozen more of bi ‘4 order of talent would not do mueh after all. He would rathct have aman like Mr. Rankin himself at , than a Freolinghuysen at $3,000. Men ef talent require other men to go with them and wait on them all the time. He then adverted to the addre: yesterday, which was not exact); the society, but of the friends ef the Americanpeople. It had been sent to entle- nen who approved of it. Dr. Fitch, of Yu ie Col- lege, had written twelve pages about it, criticising 88 read, the address of it, but still agreeing with it on the whole. \ Mr. Tanai —Did you get a letter from Dr. Tay- or | Mr. TAPPAN.e No. I did mot send it tohim. He would not have time to read it. Coe, he Manper.—Did you get a letter . Pavk? Mn. Tarran.—No. Lsaw him last night.

Justiye “was disposed to agree rather with Mr. Cloary than Horvblower is also in favor of it; he is in favor of colonization also, but thinksit ought not to be co- ercive. Hon. L.

Mr. Forman, of Nantuck ing it. Rev. John Piorpont signed it, anc in pencil, ‘them are mysentiments.” (Laught Rev. Dr. Osgood, of Springfield, eigns it. Rev. Dr Stowe, of Massachusetts, embraces the sentiments, and thinks, with come alterations, he would sign it. It was not yet published; it was only in proof shoets, id he had brought some copies for the meeting. his, no doubt, would be very useful, whon circu- lated by agents. rsey | the Society had 70 | eve which went about like the 70 disciples of Christ, propagating the truth. But the banking operations, in 1837, had broken up that organiza | tion. They were compelled to sell their slexeatype | plates for $7,000, which was only the value of the metal. Members of the executive committee, that had formerly given $5,000 or $6,000 in the yoar, had now failed; and the agencies were abolished, and the tracte—tho plates of which they wore compelled to sell--continued in demand, and were now in | demand; and if the executive committee had | funds, it would re-issue them. Money was ne- nes > for it was the sinews of morul as well as physical warfare. Abolitioniets were growing stingy, and were not giving as much as they used to do, or as they ought. A great many men felt sympathy—but they did not pay. This reminded him of the Frenchman who, in collect- ing money to bury a poor deceased brother, mot a great many who suid they were very sorry, but did not give anything. At last, sick of such eympathy, he said toa gentleman who declared he was very sorry, ‘‘How much are you sorry! [ am sorry ten dollars—how much will I put down for yout” Laughter.) Mr. ARNOLD Burrum, agent for son¢ men to California, next addressed tho meeting, and said there were three millions of men in tho United States who had no tongues of their own to tell their wrongs, and it was the daty of the society to do what it could in sending out agents to plead their cause. Mr. Horton, of Wisconsin, said, that in hia State they did their work pretty much on their own hoook, There they were going the length of de- minding that the churches exorcise themselves from any connexion with slavery. But for general pur- poses he thought agenciey very necessary, and he | ling colored Mr. Rankin. What they wanted was, mon that would travel from house to house, and take bandles of pamphlets with thom. The tract. societies were sending abioad vast tomes of pages, and ship-loads of documents, while they say not a single word for the colored pagans of their own country. Rev. Mr. RANKIN said, he feared he was misunder- stood. He was brought up among sheep ‘in the far West. He had onee a very distinguished horned sheep, that the whole of the sheep used to. follow wherever he led. Now this was what was wanted, a distinguished horned sheep, that would lead over the fences, and everywhere. (Great laughter.) Rev. Mr. Jocenyn.—We must educate the whole generation over again before we can be successful, unless God works by miracle. 'The resolution was then adopted. UNCLE TOM’S CABIN. Dr. McCuxs Ssirn then moved the following resolution Resolved, That the warm thanks of this meeting be presented to Mir, Harriet Beecher Stowe. for writing the inimitably beautiful and trathful story called Uncle Tom's Cabin, and that we rejoice that the Almighty iy awaken- ing the -fincst literary talent of the country to lay their best offerings on the altar of human freedon ; and Resolved, That we earnestly call upon the women of the United States, sornestly and zealously to follow in the glorious path laid out for them by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Gyace Greenwood and Lydia M. Child: Dr. Suirn eulogised ‘‘ Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” and said its success--unexampled as it was—proved the depth and the breadth ef the anti-slavery feeling in this country. The writer had touched a vein richer than California gold, and would be followed by a host of Grub. street imitators. If there was romanee in the country, it was in tho relations be- tween masters and slaves, and in the mixed rela- tions growing out of them. He then proceeded, at some length, to criticise the critic of the Literary World; who had turned this beautiful story into ridicule, while be puffed a world of fiction, on the other sidé, without merit or. invention. Mr. Lewis Tarpan said Mr. Jewett had sold a thousand copies of the work every day since it was published, or 50,000 copies in eight weeks—a sale that was un) leled in the whole world. Look at the humble origin of this book. Jr. Baily, oneday at my house said, I think I wili get Mrs. Stowe to write a story for my paper (for Dr. Baily put storics in his paper, just as parents put pills into preserves for their children). He wrote her a note, anderclosed a $100 bill. She sent him No. 1 of “Uncle Tom,” for the National , and said she would finish it in three numbers. She was astonish- ed herself at the way itlookedin print. In amonth or two-he sent her $200 more, and so went on the tale till she completed the work. Mrs. Stowe is now in Brooklyn, and was here yesterday. She told me that when the fugitive slave law came out, her pillow was wet every night, with her tears, and if any book wae ever written from the effeet.of prayer, it was that book. I introduced her last night to Uncle Tom’s grandson. She is going to write more, and others a-e going to rivalher A distinguished gentleman in Massachusetts is writi tale on the Fugitive Slave Law. Dr. McCuns Smitu.—it is epee by a gentle- man here, that it is Daniel ebster. (Great peor obits ) Mr. Tarran.—Ladies ¢an do much good by writing. For instance, the book of Mrs. Nicholson, on Ireland, was very valuable. Tho Irish were not blacks, but they had wrongs. I observe the lady is inthe room, and congratulate her on this work. Then there Is the work of Mrs. Child, in the ve title of which there is genius—‘‘An appeal in behalf of Americans called Africans.” President Day, of Yale College, a man of eighty yearsof age, boasted that he had never read a novel, hee he was caught with “Uncle Tom.” It isnot a fiction, but a nar- rative of facts in the form of @ fiction. A lawyer told me that the escape of Eliza, over the Ohio river, was too extravagant to be true. Mr. Coox.—It is true; I know the man that Pee her over the river. r. TAprAN—A lawyer, one of the most distin- guished members of the Union Safety Committee, told me that he verily believed that book had breken down their cause. (Great laughter.) Alread, an edition is being brought out in Canada, and have no doubt that it will soon be in half a dosen of the languages of Europe. Now is the time to out with your agencies, after the seedis sown by this book. Dr. THomas Kitrer meved that the following be added to the, resolution:—‘‘That the publisher be requested to publish a cheap edition for the le, at 374 cents.” If he does, I will expend Sor tor copies to this tribute. A gentleman told me that he would spend several hundred dollars in the pur- chase of copies of a cheap edition, to send to the students of a eollege. Mr. Tarran—Send it to the members of Con- gress. : Mr. Rrrrern—Cepies of it have been sent to the Southern Senators, except Mr. Dawson, who said he would read it if itwas sent to him. Mr. Tarrax—It is rather too much of a good thing to expeet the publisher to de this when he is selling 4 thousand copies per day, at $1 50. Three paper mil]s cannot supply the paper fast enough. I am sorry to say that the publisher derives the chief profit from it. He has already made $25,000; and ¢ will make $50,000. He made @ hard bargain with Mrs. Stowe. She receives fifteen conts upon each copy sold. It has enabled her to purchase a house and: gardef for her husbandand children. A letter from Dr. Ritter would have a8 much effect as a resolution by this body. I don’t think we ought to interfere between the publisher and the anthor. Rev. Mr. Ray, (colorcd.) said the way Mr. Jewett ‘ot. hold of this book was as follows: He took the Eva, and his wife read the story. She asked her husband to read it, but he was too busy. When the second. number came out she insisted on his writing to Mrs. Stowe for. permission to publish the remainder of the story with what, had already a] peared,in the form of a book.. Mr. Jewett did'so in obedience to his wife, (aughter) not caring much about the matter himself. Dr. Rrrrex withdrew his amondment, and the resolutions were then passed. A COLLECTION. Mr. Tarran.—A brother who is too modest to move an excellent resolution I hold in my hand, has intrusted it tome. Tt is twenty-five dollars (laugh- ter.) I hope itwill be seconded, and carried unani- mous ¥ Dr. Ritren.—I secord the resolution. Mr. MeDonald and Dr. Ritter were then appointed acommittee to collect subscriptions to advance the cange=-an intimation that had the effect of speedily gonine the reom. The collection amounted to THE COLONIZATION OF THE COLORED RAOR—ATTACK ©F THE BLACK UPON THE WHITE AbOLITIONISTS—- FSCAPE Of A FUGITIVE SLAVE. Mr. Grorce Downinc—who keeps the best oys ters in the city, of every variety. and cooked in every shape and form, as the Wail street merchants and Trokers very well know—George Downing, of Broad street, then said he was rather bt to break in upon the glow of harmony, produced by the discussion on the book of Mrs. Stowe. In refe- rence te the resolutions and address of the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society —— sane: TarrEn.—No; but of the friends of the so- elety. Mt. Downtna.—Well, it was adopted by the soci- ety. I move the following resolations :— Reeolved, That the fundamental idea of an American Anti Slavery Society, 1s, the common brotherhood of the free and enslaved; and the object of such a society, ia, toaccomplich for both free and the enslaved the a recrton of equal ci¥j] and religious privileges in this ‘Deir cCHomop country, | Rerolved.

Of # colonization spirit im the society The r@olutions passed yesterday hold out the idea that there is a direct departure from the original character of this society, which was to elevate the colored men on this s« i and nowhere else. Hem Ward Beecher is a man I very much respect. e have it reported in the Herald that he approves of the motives of the Colonization Society, I think they are not to be credited with any pood maotives. It seems to me, also, that there is a lukewarmness on the subject of colpnization. There was no denunci- ation yesterday. The society is not taking the same “high ground it used to do | It is tettin, itself down. I ask for no favor, but I liberty as a right. If it be right it is not sym- pathy. The same principle which strikes me Tota pciees you down also. The sale-of “Un- cle Tom’s Cabin,” is.a proof of the antic sentiment. But this society is not toeing the mark. Washington Hunt issued a proclamation that the colored people of this country cannot rise. He was not denounced. on there were a number of persons going away, when— Rev. Mr. Ray, (a colored brother,) said—Dont go away, I have something very interesting to tell you. Two years ago, 2 poor panting colored man came to thiscity, fiom Maryland. He becameacook in a vessel between this port and Providence. He was discovered, and a man went to him and gaid he should goto Maryland with him. He refused todo, so, and then a charge of stealing was got up against, him. Ho was put in prison, aud his master came to his cell, and demanded the boy as his property. John McKeon would not consent. He said the boy must be triedon the charge of stealing. Hislawyer and friends advised hima to plead guilty. “He did so, and was sent to prison. Steps, were taken to get him out, but the idea was aban- doned, as it was feared it would be kno@n b his master. Hewever, as the time drew ni that his period of imprisonment expired, the breth- ren felt very uneasy, aud Dr. Pennington went to Albany and suceceded in getting Governor Hunt to release him. His time is not out until to- morfow; but he is flying to-day beyond the reach of his enemies. (Applause.) A Brorner here stated that the owner wrote to a keeper of one of the prisons, asking him where the slave was, that he might take fim whon his period of imprisonment expired, but his letter was never answered. Mr. Ray.—Oh, yes. I forgot to mention that. Mr. Lewis Tarran.—I don’t wonder at the sensi- tiveness of colored men. If I was a colored man, [ would feel more than they do. Brother Downing, however, is in error in every matter of fact he has referred to. In the first place, he left out the words, “In common with other citizogs.” What wo in- tended to say was, that we would assist colored men to leave the country, if they wished to do so, in the same way as we would white men, and no further. In reference to the colonigationists, I think it will not do to ascribe bud motives to such men as Chief Justice Hornblower. The whole ef what: we said ought to be taken in its connection. The re- solution is as follows:— That while we would throw no dbstaele in the way of our colored citizens serene. to Sierra Leone, Liberia, California, the West Indfes, Canada, or any other portion of the globe, as their enterprise, business, or inclination may lead them, in comwon with other citizens; and while we will aid them in the accomplishment of their own withes, we will ever discountenance and oppose all schemes, whether devised by State or National govern- ments or colonization societies, of cocrcive expatriation, and all efforts to place the people of color in such pori- tions that, as a choice of evils, they will consent to leave the land of their birth and their chosen residence, It is not necessary to use coarse epithets; and bro- ther Downing is not doing us justice when he says wo are letting down. With regard to a paragraph ia Mrs. Stowe’s book, in which John is advised to go to Africa, I am sorry it isin the book. I wrote to have it omitted; but it was too late; otherwise she would have done so. If you saw her letter, you would say she was nv colonizationist. Her idea is this—that talented celored men should go from here, and take Liberia out of the hands of the Colonisa- tion Society. Henry Ward Beecher said somethin; jesterday, in the heat of the moment, that would ave been better omitted. I spoke to his father about it, last night. He replied that it was in the heat of speaking, and that it would be changed he- fore it would go into the newspapers. (Laughter.) Of the seven thousand gone from this country to Liberia, five thousand are slaves, liberated on con- dition of going there. Hardly one has gone with his own consent; and the Colonization Society are vio- lating their own constitution in sending them out, Rev. Joun Rankin, of Ohio, in the meantime, addressed the meeting, and said he wassorry to see the colonization question over introduced into their meetings. It did great mischief. The object of the great mass of the advocates of colonization was, to make it a safety valve, to prevont the boat from ing blown up by the preseure of too much. steam. They ought to repudinte the very name of coloniza- tion. In the colonization States they would allow their children to play with dogs, but not with co- lored children. When he first came to Ohio, any man could be elected to an office, who avowed him- self in favor of slavery or colonization, but not an abolitionist. Such was the influence of the Goloni- zation Society in Ohio. The colored population were regarded as perfect nuisances. He thought, therefore, that this society ought to avoid talking about colonization at all. The gospel makes all mon equal. Instead of colonizing, let us evangelize blacks and whites together. Rev. Mr. Ray said the resolution adopted yester- day was most unfortunate. It would be used by the Colonization Society, as Governor Pinney’s, Ie was-—a man who had done more harm enetaytioa- ally by that letter, than all the goed he ever did, or could do. I am entirely opposed to any one ‘zc to Liberia, voluntarily or otherwise. Rev. J. B. GRINNELL, (white man) said brother Ray was all tlds Liberia would prove what blacks could do. He had been in a class with colored men, and he could not pretend to learn as fast as they could, or speak as well. The Coloniza- tion Society had now changed ita tactics, and it ought to be let go on. They were now 6 the und that if the colored people had fair play to ow themselves, as in Liberia, it would effect the ransom of the whole race. Dr, J. McCunz Suita, I am has taken . Whatever was in, the,re- rt has now ita antidote. @ abolitionists ‘0 think they have done all that is necessary, Ww! they annunciate the manhood of God ‘Almighty’s black men. Now, if we admit this, something more ought to follow. There have been complaints that colored men could not get situations under the Exeeutive Committee of this very society. There are $1,200 salaries, but none of them are free to colored men, though he thought they were jus this discusston ist as well fitted for those offices as white men. ‘his, perhaps, is a misapprehension of the objects of the society, which are only to announce sentiment and o the Colonization Soeiety.
