CWitness confirmed the testimony of Mr. Anderson, and Btated nothing new.) This witness also. recognized the prisoner as the lady who came into Mr. Ridgeway’s office. Crors-examined—Met a gentleman in Wall street and ‘exchanged salutations, but did not stop half a mimute; | the mate and the two men went on ahead, and I hurried | 4 catch up with them; didn’t notice the Trinity church lock; did not see the mate take out his watch; did not | hear him say what time it was; these affidavits were in a |.#uit against the ship Margaret Evans; at the time I was in the office did not notice any one enter it except this fe- male; Mr. Ridgeway accompanied me to the notary; when I left the office saw no one else but the female; that is my impression; don’t remember where we went to swear these affidavits; it was on the right hand side of Wall street, down; we went into the third or fourth story; Mr. \geway and the other men all went in with me, and left with me. we didn’t remain two minutes; I then re- turned to my ship; usually regulate my watch by the chronometer on the passage; when I arrive here I set it | the true mean time; my chronometer rate was losing | about two-tenths of a second a day. ‘The Are you positive that this day was Tues- Gay?

York Geographical and Statistical Society. The regular monthly meeting of this society was held Tuesday evening at their rooms in the New York Univer- sity. Rev. Dr. Hawks presided. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. From the Treasurer’s report, it appears that the re- coipts have amounted to $1,329 12; expenses, $1,218 21; balance in the troasury, $110 91. The President pro tem then addressed the society, allud- ing to their increased importance as am incorporated in- stitution. He then read the act of incorporation. ‘An interesting but somewhat lengthy paper was then New communication. An able resume of the explorations of the early explorers of the Isthmus was given, together with the author’s personal observations. The President then announced that isaac J. Stevens, Governor of Washington Territory, was present, and would address the meeting, on his “Survey of the North- ern route for the Pacific Railroad.’’ He said, in com- mencing, that he had only been in the city for twenty- four hours; but having met one of the officers of this asso- ciation, he had been requested to make some remarks at the present meeting, which he did not feel at Lia de- cline. They were all somewhat acquainted with the geo- graphical facts of the country—of its extent, wealth, and the necessity that existed for its consolidation by great cific—we had San Francisco, we had the Columbia Valley, and Puget’s Sound. The main want of California was to have such a connection with the States that it might quadruple the number of its familios, so that every village and hamlet should be graced with the presence of wives and children. We had the great territories of Oregon and Washington—Oregon now asking to become a State, with her sixty thousand inhabitants, and Wash- ington with her five thousand people, a Territory des- tined to become a great State—destined to become the New England of the Pacific. The Gulf of Mexico and the great lakes were the two great geographical facts which were destined to uzite the two great oceans by iron bonds. The lakes Srpronalied within nineteen hundred miles of the Columbia River and Puget’s Sound, and the Gulf approached still nearer to San Francisco. We had at the present moment 17,800 miles of railroad in ope- ration, and adding to them’ constantly. Illinois alone, with her million of inhabitants, put in operation last year one thoutand miles of railroad. Two ports were needed on the Pacific shore—San Francisco and Puget’s Sound—and only one was as yet developed. The wants of the country required several routes from the Missis- sippi to the Pacific. The roads from Iowa and Missouri might be extended to the Great Salt Lake, and from that point a road might be pushed through Noble’s Pass to the Sacramento Valley. But he was about to refer to ano- ther route, the route which he had had the honor toexplore, It might be defined as the great connect route, that conn@@ts the great St. Lawrence basin an | the great road running through Canada and the southern shores of the lake—by the northern shores of the Mis- souri river, toa pass at 3780, to the Columbia Valley and Puget’s Sound. We formed a plan that three parties were to start from the Mississippi river—one large part to move West the second was to start from the Columb! river, moving East, for the purpose of exploring the Cascade range, and the third party was to move from the Columbia river, make @ rapid reconnoizance of the coun- try, and establish a depot in the heart of the mountain: and meet us in the pastes of the Rocky Mountains. We moved from the Mississippi river in three parties. To one was assigned the duty of surveying the ascertain if It was adapted to the purpose of sw the building of railroads. The two othor parti acrose the plains to the Mormon settlement, and August “we rendezyoused at Fort Union.’ From Fort Union we proceeded towards the Rocky Mountains, and there surveyed the various approaches for some twenty days. We left Fort Benton one hundred miles to the east, and a small party remained d winter to make observations in regard to the snow. Having crossed the Rocky Mountaing, there another party was planted of sixteen men, with’ orders to turn their faces to the mountain passes, and not leave them till they were dri- ven out by the snow. At Fort Benton, east of the moun- taing, another party was despatched down the Missouri, for the purpose of surveying, and then to return, in order that they might cross the mountains with a dog train; and they did cross, starting on the 2d of January; and when they crossed the Rocky Mountains, Lieutenant Grover found it necessary to disband lis dogs. ‘The party sent back over the mountains, returned by the new route, taking a more southerly line below the Columbia. The epeaker said, in reference to the snow upon these mountains, which had been made such a bugbear of, it was no impediment whatever. The party sent to the mountain pssses, found no snow to driva them out, But little snow had been found, although in 47 and 48 degrees of latitude. With regard to elevations, he said the le 0? the South pass was 7,500 feet, and on the north ro there were but two hundred miles of between 3,000 and 5,000 fect elevation above the sea. It was a route where there would be no obstructions from Indian tribes, or from the so-called ‘-treacherous”’ Blackfeet Indians, who had uniformly treated him and his companions with kindness. In reference to the pecuniary view of the subject, Gov. S. was decidedly of opinion that even three great roads would become remunerative. Our western roads yielded an income of ten per cent. Passengers alone would be able to pay fortwo such roads. He spoke at somo length of the noble, qualities of thove Indian tribes which had been so much vilified. They were now, he said, looking to their great Father for protection; and they should ha 4 vote of thanks was passed for the able address of Gov. 8., and the society, after come unimportant busi- ness, adjourned. ‘Theatres and Exhibitions.

She was, Cross-examined—If her engines in any of their parts were in such a state that they could make but fourand five revolutions of her wheels per minute in fair weather, was she ina fit state to tak ps to Aspinwall? A. No, sir; assuming the engines to be so radically bad, or her general condition suchas to reduce her speed to that, she was unseaworthy; Ido not mean any acciden- it, tal defect that might be remedied in a short time. Q. You say the Falcon wasa fit and safe transport for troops; do you mean that transport for troops may, with propriety, be employed which would not be em: ployed for carrying freight ? A. No; by no means. Q. Do you know what was the defect in the engines of the Falcon on her last trip? A. The valves indicated, perly. Q. What, in your opinion, is tho reason why the valves | did not seat properly A. Fither the stems were too long or they were arrest- ed inthe descent by the screwing up of the lower bo neta; I did not see them when ther were first taken ou! if I bad seen them then I could have judged better; | when I saw them they were grinding some of them; those that were not in process of grinding did not indicate that | the leaking proceeded from the valves.

Twas. Q. What made her engines work badly? 4. I found her valves to leak badly. Q What made them leak? “A. [found on examination that four valve stems out of the eight came in contact with the botiom of the stediment. Q. What was the condition of her machinery in other respects? ‘A. Very good. Q. How long would {t take to remedy this defect after you discovered it? A. To the best of my judgment, by observation since I came in port, the most part of a week. Q. Why, how was the defect to be remedied? A. I found it necessary tor cut off the stems, and to | make new joints, or India rubber packing, for the bonnets. Q. How long would it take to cut off the four stems? A. To do itin the most careful manner, after having all four out, would take two or three hours. Q. Would it take near a week to put in now India rub- ber packing? A. No, not that alone, tut I found it necessary to grind the valves—that is'a slow process. As to the re- placing the packing, if I knew precisely what was to be done I could do that in the neighborhood of two hours. The steam would have to be blown off. Q If you had known exactly how it was about the en- Fine, would, or not, cutting the stems and a now packing we made the engine work? A. 1 think it would have made her work much better; I cannot say if that would have been sufficient; I think not; I think the valves needed grinding. Cross-examination.—Q. If you had known the condi- tion of the valves before she went to sea, would you have gone in her in that state? ‘A. If, before going to sea, the valves were in the con- dition afterwards found them, I should have objected to going in her till after I had had them repaired. |. Would a trial trip have developed these defects ? A. In all probability it would; Idiscovered soon after | the pilot was discharged, which’ was at 6:20 P. M., after which time I had the opportunity to watch the working of the engine, that she was not forming such vacuum as I wanted the Faleon to make; it was about twelve hours after that before I ascertained that tho valves leaked. Q. Did you find that there was much improvemont in speed after you had made all the repairs you could at sea A. I made no important repairs at sea; there was very little improvement. Q. How many revolutions did the wheels make minute the day before you turned back to go to Norfolk, va. ‘A. The smallest average I made was 5 56-60 per minute ee four hours; that was the day we headed the ship for Norfolk; it was then partly » head wind and pretty heavy ground swell. Q. Must this defect have existed before the ship left | port? A. If it did it was pot perceptible on the working of the engines at the dock; they seemed to work weli for | engines working slowly; we don’t expect the same vacu- | um of engines working slowly. Q. Would you have betas ig it prudent to continue the voyage after you discovered these defects? 4A. I never approved of the ship turning back. Q. How much too long were the valve stems? A. can’t say; there fs no exact length necessary; to make sure of having them short enough I had in the’ neighborhood of # quarter of an inch cut off. ¢ prosecution having closed here, the defence pre sented the following testimony :— TESTIMONY OF A. B. CLARK. Capt. A. B. Clark having been re-called for defenee, tes- tiled as follows on his direct examination :— Q. Mr. M. 0. Roberts has stated before this court that no inspector of any Marine Insurance Co. has made an in- spection of the steamer Falcon since her return to this port from New Orleans last fall; please state when you made your last inspection of this steamer, and whether it was a thorough inspection. A. I surveyed the Falcon in Janu: last; there was a sign up “No admittance,” but I did not consider it to apply to me; some persons were at work on the ines; I went below, and went in forward, first on the sathonnd side, between her t:o lower decks; I went forward to examine her breastworks; I returned on the larboard side, to examine her hooks abaft; in my survey I saw knees on both sides that had started, some from one to three inches; 1 was less than an hour in making the in- spection, but saw enough to satisfy me; my examination was of her hull solely. How long a time is it necessary to occupy, in order hly the hull of the Falcon. toi thorou A. t would md on circumstances—her age, the situation she is in; I have been on. great many surveys, and I don’t think that I ever took over an hour. Q. Hay you, or the company of which you are the in- y difficulty with the United States Mail Steam- ip Company, growing out of the burning of the Chero- kee, or any other cause? A. Not to my knowledge. Q. What led you te ins; the Falcon in January last ? A. I saw she was a lit out of shape—what we term a. The remainder of this witness's tostimony, and the evidence of Andree J. Clifton, did not differ materially from that already published. TESTIMONY OF LIEUT. COL. SCOTT. Lieut. Colonel H. L. Seott, U.N. A., having been sworn: testified as follows:— Q.

A. He called and said that he hada report of a board of officers which he had ordered on her; I told him the General-in-Chief bad ordered board, and their report bad not been received, and I dechined receivi: port, which he offiered, saying it was proper it tothe Adjutant-General his re. who would submit the whole seneral-in-Chief. not tell you at the same time that it was ant that the General should have this nent possible, forthe mext day would be the 15th, 0 tho: thly convinced of the unseaworthi- nes of the Falcon that had determined not to take his command on board of her without the trial trip, as recommended by the board?

The following are the resolutions which were then moved and adopted:— 1. Resolved, That the report, an abstract of which has now been read, be adopted, and published under the di- rection of the Executive Committee, and that the Society record their grateful sense of the divine goodness in guiding and sugtaining the various enterprises so suc cessfully prosecuted, under the crowning blessing of the oly Spirit. 2. Resolved, That the influence of this society in call. ing forth the personal Christian activity of thousands of the followers of the Redeemer, in co-operation with the ministry, commends it to the benevolent regard of all evangelical pastorg and churches. 8. Resolved, That the immense emigration from Eu- rope, now increased from Eastern Asia, and the preva- lence of native destitution and error, domand the un- wearied prosecution and rapid expansion of the colpor- teur system, as the clearest dictate of patriotism and benevolence; while the success of colportage, under tho divine blessing, should encourage kindred efforts in those countries and seaports from which emigration is flowing to this land. 4. Resolved, That amid the conflicts of nations, in- Yolving, perhaps, the existence of ‘vast systems of idola- try and superstition, there is a peaceful mission for the Christian press abroad, demanding the steady support of this society. Rev. J. M. Post, of the Congregational Church, St. Louis, Mo., spoke to the first resolution. He rejoiced to be able to record the assistance rendered by the churches of the Wert to thia society. All had duties to perform in the great work of evangelizing the world. Before he left St. Louis, a city missionary, acting there aga colporteur, resigned his office because he thought that othera could do the same work, and that his duty called him elsewhere. Thus it is; there are abysses lying Selow city civilization which the ordinary preaching of the gospel does not | reach, and light must be thrown down there. He hailed | any agency that would diffuse light, though it was not | through the regular preaching of the gospel. Ho lived, as it were, in the gateway, and heard the tramp of tens of thousands emigrating to the West. They were treading down the prairie and turning it intoa garden; but they were also treading down Sabbaths and civilization, and the only means to arrest the progress of the evil was by th read of religious truth. There is one thing ig ower of truth. He hailed its influence, and prayed God that it might be felt over the whole world. Rey. Dr. Brooks, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, Baltimore, spoke to the second res#iution. He wou! address the audience particularly upon a remark to be found in the treasurer's report. He alluded to what was called the catholic pasis of the society. Religion—the most important, and consequently the ‘most exciting of all subjecta—is often either dor is made the aubject of quarrels and disunion. Now, perfect unity among a large of free thinking individuals would beso remarkable as to be almost incredible. But while the divisions among Protestants afford skeptics ground for reviling, let it be remexfbered that our divisions are laced ina favorable contrast with the seeming unity of me. There is no labor so severv as mental labor—no Fesponsibility ao painful as the responsibility of deciding | for ourselves w It is exemption from this labor and this re- sponsibility which Rome pronsises to her proselytos. What de they who give up their right of private judgment to priestly dominion—what do they but dis- franchise themselves of their inalienable rights? When the Pore issues his bull from tho Vatican, and all his. | ple bow down to it, they bow down to a far greater espotism than that of Russia. The unity of Rome iv a ferced despotic unity; but the unity of Protestantism. —imperfeet though it be—is a unity springing from the soul. The present age gives ¢ ig indications of the union of Protestant ians in the matters which be- mightier than armies—the t aperiaing to our eternal welfare. | thi ventoried . 346 00 | two.

This is nobler than shipbuilding, or any other worldly trade, for it is hatching immortal souls for eternal ‘life. ‘The preacher here went on to re- late several of the anecdotes and incidents in the history of the Five Points, by way of showing the glorious re- sults which had attended the efforis of Mr. Pease and his associates. The children followed with another song. “We may come in’’—which performance called forth loud applause. The Rev. Tasovors L, Cuyiex was then introduced to the audience. He said—My brethren, let me say to you, in all sincerity, I should be glad toaddress you, but it is a physical impossibility. If I had been prudent’ in behalf of my physical organization, I should have laid down at home, and not been here to day, for I am sick and weak, and am really not able to standup before you. But I feared if I should do this, I should be called a deserter of the cause. I have therefore come here to tell that my heart is still with this cause; and to those who ery out against Mr. Pease we say, Show better way to work; and when yon have shown it, do it yourselves. (Applause) While others are talking and finding fault, Mr, Pease is at work, and his deeds are more eloquent than words, You must excuse me from addressing you to-day. Asong, “Study of Labor,” was then sung by the chil- dren; after which the Rev. Mr. Sows, of Boston, addressed the audience as je was surprised ihat he was pressed into ser- vice, and compelled to raise his voice upon this occasion. He was delighted with what he had seen. He considered intemperance the great first cause of ali the vice which this society was organized to oppose; and in conclusion the test he could say to those engaged in this great en- terprise was to goon in their good work, and he should go homo a better man than when he came, from the im- pulse given to him by this glorious occasion. The Rey. Mr, Pxasz then came forward. He shoul only say afew words. Ho was in a good humor, and never felt Letter than he did to-day, in looking over thia grcat audience before him. He was glad to hear from the Brother who had last spoken the words, go on; but | there was something he liked better to hear—it was come on, (Applause.) Sol say to you while you are | telling me to goon, come on and heip us in our cause. | The speaker here related several interesting ancedotes which had come under his observation since he has | been connected with the Five Points Mission, After which a collection was taken up. While the collection | was being taken, the Rey. Dr. CLRAVELAND spoke. tience in the audience. It required no patience to look upon such an exhibition as this, (pointing to the chil- dren.) I amno singer, but, if these children will re main and sing till milnight, I will remain with them. (Applause.) A few more anecdotes were related, when the speaker took his seat amid great applause. The children thea sang another song, after which the benediction was pronounced, and the meeting adjourned. He said there was no pa. American Anti-Slavery Society. THE GARRISONIANS IN THE PULPIT—MR. CHAPIN’S CHURCH DESECRATED—WENDELL PHILLIPS’ OP ION OF EDWARD EVERETT—ABBY FOSTER ON THE BIBLE SOCIETY, BTC., ETC. The twentieth anniversary of the American Anti-Sla- very Society was commenced yesterday morning at the Rey. Mr. Chapin’s Church, Broadway. e | The anniversary programme was arranged in direct imitation of those of the religious societies. The exer- cises commenced at about ten o'clock. Mr. Garrison | took the chair, and there was none of the usual busi- | ness traggacted at this time. | The church was well filled, and among the audience were many pretty women. The old party—Wendell Phillips, S. J. May, Edmund Quincy, Francis Jackson, Abby Kelly Foster, ef id genus omne—occupied seats on a | temporary platform erected in front of the pulpit. | Mr. GaRnison introduced Rey. 8. J. May, of Syracuse, | who read passages from the Scriptures. The choir and congregation then sung a hymn, by Mrs. Follen; we give the first stanza, as follows:— ‘What mean ye, that ye bruise and bind | My people, saith the Lord, j And starve your craving brother’s mind, Who asks to hear my word? After prayer by Rev. 8, J. May, the President intro- duced the Rey. W.H. Furness, of Philadelphia, who made a strong anti-slavery speech without indulging in | the personalities for which the orators of this society are generally celebrated. He said he had not eome to | makeaspecch 80 much as to take sides with the abo- litionists. He was glad to have the opportunity of again | committing himeelf on this question. He was (he said) | 4 timid man, but he would not take the pro-slavery side if he had the President and Cabinet to back him, at which there was great applause. In reference to the Nebraska | Dill, he said that Congress was now endeavoring to com mit the last great ain of the nation, but the end was not yet. He should solemnly protest against it, in the name of God. He was not a member of this society, but was glad to be able to speak on their platform, and act with em. ‘THEODORR PARKER was announced on the programme as the next speaker, but Mr. Gannisox read a note of excuse from him. He was obliged to be absent to attend a funeral. The Pansmsyt then gave outahymn, “The Car of Free- dom,” which was sung by the choir. The first verse runs thus :— See the Car of Freedom speeding Onward with resistle; Clear the Onward long to their salvation. He loved this society, because it bore internal evidence of a true Protestant Catholici- | ty. May this institution deepen its foundation and wid- eu its borders, and may it be the precursor of a still more practical unity in time to come. He spoke of justification by faith aa the safeguard from the rocks of Romanism on the one band, the shoals and quick- ds | rationalism on the other. He need not say that the soc.cty held only one opinion on this great funda- mental dostrine.. ‘This he called Catholio ‘unity—a uni- ty in the souls of men who gave their entire consent to e great truths of the gospel. He believed that one colperteur, with the Bible in his hand carried with him more unity and moreinfallibility than any number of | cardinals with the decrees and traditions of their church. Rev. Dr. Vexasiys spoke also upon the second resolu- | tion. Hisremarks were few, but appropriate and elo- nent. bs Rev. Dr. GREENE 5 to the fourth resolution. He commenced by dey the powers and usefalness of the prese ns the means of diffusing evangelical truth. He ‘was a l’resbyterian of the old school of Calvin and John Knox. He cid not believe that there was any differ- enee between this society and ethers in God’s visible kingdom, having for their object the spread of the gospel. The speaker dwelt st length upon the advanta- us + fects of commerce uj the extension of missions im the Last, and concluded Br eaying that it was through the Bible, and the Bible alone, that conversion of the millions there could be hoped for. The hymn ‘Angels Roll the Rock Away !’” was here sung by the audience standing. ‘The Rev. Dr. Durr was the next speaker. Ue did not rise to mako a set speech, but to give his honest and dis- interested testimony in. behalf of the constitution and labors of this society. Itwas a delight to. him to see God’s work prospering in so many ways. He believed this society to be am eclectic ne comprised of differ- ent churches. After reviewing the constitution and ob- jects of the Tract Society, he found that. in its publica- tions there waa food for all. He rejoicet in the exist- once of the colportage system, for there were many who would not come and ask for tracts but who would accept of them if they were offered. Dr. Duff recounted seve ral affecting anecdotes of the benefits which have re- jed from the pape of tracts im India. He said that this society bad two objects—one, the apread of truth at home, ond the other abroad. He entered at length into a refutation of the errors of Romanism, and said that he feared a sogimont of Jesuita more than any number of open avowed infidels.

The anniversary of the¥ive Points House af Industry, under the management of the Rey. L. M, Peaso, was held at the Tabernacle yesterday afternoan, at 3 o%elock, ‘There was assem¥%ed upon this ocension, one of the largest and most brilliant audiences that has yot been called together by any of the prosent anniversaries, Some three hup dred of the childroa of this institution, varying from Tour to twelve years of age, wore arranged behind the platform, all the girls dressed in white dross- es, and the ‘boys in a blue uniform, prosenting an inter- esting ap d pretty sight. The Yievy. Dr. Van Pelt opened the exercises with a touch ing and appropriate prayer, after which the children imooncert sang a hymn, Mr. Enwix J. Brapnury then read the annual report, shc ving the institution to be in a very flourishing condi- tion. There are now over three hundred persons, mon, women and children, provided for by this body. The fol- ia the account of the praperty of the Inatitution, made over by Mr. and Mrs. Pease to the Trus' Five Points House of Industry, on the 10th o! 1864:— “The farm in East Chester, 64 acres and 1 rood Buildings and building materials, . pen Live stook, form utensils and furaiture, ag in- of the April, 8 it onward Tn ita cirouit round the earth | f.The Presipent said he had the pleasure to present one Of those men who were held to be lepers, to be cast out of the pulpit and the forum, a colored man; and the audience would see, by looking at him, that if he was a black man, none of the persons present were white. | Mr. Roszrr Purvis, a light mulatto with a good head and face, came forward and expressed his delight at be | ing allowed to address. so large and intelligent an au- | dience.

He said next, that though the abolitionists might pe: sonally be defeated, their principles never could be. in reference to the Irish transport (John Mitchel), who dared to use the sacred names of God and Jeaus Chir'st to | defend his views of slavery, he said that in 1848 he wa a member of a committee of colored persons to raise funis | tor the liberation of Ireland. ‘This committoe had now its | reward. If thore was anything more contemptible than | another, i¢ was to ch men as that specimen of im- pudence, John Mitchel, or that traitor to liberty, to bu | manity, and to God Stephen Arnold Douglas.

It was the infidel so- ciety Whose anniversary was now being heki—it was the treasonable ys hough there were several anti- | slavery debating societies in the country, including the House of Representatives, this was the inidel society, avd the society cling to this appellation and hoped that it would be carried down to posterity. The society which sweets here to-day believes that there is _no hope for the American slave, without «total revolution in the reli- gious system of the churebes, and an entire re-organiza- tion of the government. It isa disunion society, and he was glad to be able to profess his croed at such a time and to suchen audience. The anti slavery spirit com qnenced with Washington and Jefferson, the fathers of the republic, but they retreated before the South, and slavery has gradually gone on, taking post after post, and break- ing down one by one the defences sot up by the fathara, = territory of Nebraeka.

The cause of all this is found in the tiew which bind these States together. The Union sentiment is the great vortex which swallows up the great minds, and they have power enough for the time being, to influ- ence the people. Mr. Phillips drew a parallel’ betweem the condition of the Dutch when resisting Louis XIV, and the position of New England as regards the South. He wished that New England would take such a stand, whem there would be found De Ruyters, De Witts, and’ Barm- Velits among her people. ‘There were two Massachusetts —one the money making Massachusetts, and the other the Massachusetts that sent Sumner to fill the place of Web- ster. The consolidated pro-slavery power was alwaye ready to buy up Websters, bribe Everetts, and seduce Mitchels; and if Nobraska is defeated to-day by the hob fury of the North, the slave power can wait; the North will cool, and the South sever tires; she is always ready to coax, to bully, to invent, and is always successful. ‘The only remedy for the slave is in the destruction of this government. I challenge any man to tell me what this Union has done for us. We pay five dollars on every coat that we wear in order that the treasury may be filled with gold, and the great men may go to Washington and make each other President, while the business of government goes on of itself, which shows that we can do very well without it. New York can make money, and Lowell can manufacture goods, even if they do not have the countenance of South Carolina. ‘The great fathers of the republic never intended that their children should be thus abused. A hymn, commencing, *‘ Spirit of Freedom, Awake,’* was sung to the air of ‘God Save the Queen,”? Auny Kxr Ly Fost, looking rather fatter and better tham She satirized Mr. Turner’s way of taking si hat nobody could help feeling a degree of enthu- at the wrongs of the slave, and that such taking sides was little better than opposition. She next at- tacked her old windmill, the church, which stood with the Bible in hand upholding slavery.’ The Tract Society and the Bible Society came in for the largest share of her denunciations, and she was particularly indignant be- cause these socivties wapld not join with the Anti- Slavery Society. After a lit¥e dash’a! the Fugitive Slave law, Mrs. Foster returned to the charge against the church, stating that as far as its discipline went, she wae an infidel, and that she was ready to take her chance with its professors at the last great day. She deduced from the fact that the religious societies generally re- & fused to coalesce with the Anti-Slavery Society, that at the final account, they (the Tract and Bible Societies), would be told to depart into outer darkness. Mra. ' Foster rpoke twenty minutes, aud her incolicrent ravings were quite a contrast to the clear, unimpassioned elocution- ist who preceded her. Mr. GARnISON said a few words, stating that his creed was in the slave, and he believed in nothing else, and he compared himself to the apostle who went forth and an- nounced that he was resolved to know nothing but Christ and Him crucified. He had intended to give some re- freshing reminiscences relative to the clergy, but as the hour was late (half past 1), he would postpone it. (Cries of ‘No—no,”’ and “Go on,” with uproarious applause.) The attitude of the clergy towards anti slavery, | during the past twenty-five years, has been hostile, a their morality, as far as slavery is concerned, is founded by the 86 degrees?80 minutes lines; they think slavery is correct and proper in Virginia, but very wrong in Wo. breska. They do not oppose slavery on principle at all,but they now stand on the same platform as we do. Misery loves company, and our reverend coadjutors have bem lately called infidels, disorganizers, and blasphemers. Mr. Garrison proceeded to read extracts from the Uniom and other papers relative to the protest of three thousand clergymen against the Nebraska bill. It seems that they are cast out, and must go with The only way for them to get’back is to say that ighty Go for Mr. Garrison continued in the same strain until two o’clook, when the hungry, tired and thirsty audience were released for dinner, and a receas for an hour and a half was taken. A vote of thanks to the trustees of the church was passed, and the society adjournod. to meet for “business and general discussion” at Hope Chapel, at half past thee o'clock. : During the four hours session there was but little ex- citement of any kind and as the audience were two thirds women, but few signs cf approval or disapproval, EVENING SESSION. e The Society reassembled at half-past three o’clock im the afternoon. At this hour there were nearly fifty persons present, one half of whom were either ladies or ‘strong minded® About half a dozen colored brothers an@ sisters were scattered here and there on the back benches. President GamRison called the mecting to order, and said that it had been considered proper that commithe women, | of finance, business, rolls, nomination of officers, an@ | on other matters, should be appointed; and during the time that these committees were sitting the immediately important business of the meeting could be proceeded with. Mr. May—Mr. President, I rise to move that a comm | tee of three be appointed by the general meeting, for purpose of drafting a list of the names of members ree commended to serve on the various committeos to whicks you have alluded. My object in this is that the may have leisure for the discussion of other im; matters during the time that these gentlemen will be em- ged in their deliberations. I submit my motion, sir, for a committee of three. ‘The motion was seconded and passed. Mr. May, Mr. Johnson and Mr. Foss were appointed ag such committes. . Mrs. Anny Karty Foster. President, before this com- mittee is appointed, I would like to be better informed as toits exact duties. I hope and trust, sir, that the time of this committee will not be wasted on the consideration of naming other committees on impracticable subjecta— such as a committeo for the revision of the Bible, &e., &c. Most important matter would be now and during next day debated before the society. She had a letter from a friend abroad, whe had expected to be here om this occasion, and communications from other parte as- sured her that it was expected that the society would act openly and without seereey. 3ARRISON explained that the discussions on matter would be open to all to participate in; but in the meantime, the action of the Nominating Commit- tee, just votec, would facilitate the transaction of business. Mre. Anny Kxity Fosvan reeumoed her seat near the re- perters, with a most fraternal smile on her countenanee, tr the meeting would be, whilst waiting for the room to fill mp, addressed by Mr. A. R Vora, of New Hampshira Wr, Fos—Sir, I did not expect upon my entrance here thot 1 would be called on to suy a word. T did not ex; on Leame to New York, that I would have to y. and I only hoped that I should be permitted the tunity of quietly asting the part of a listener. I hy to take any side, nordo I wish to do so now. Jowever, my friends, when called on, Tam anxious to crve the cause. It has often occurred to me with very great foree, that peoyle generally do not look on slavery » the light in whiels it should be viewed—I mean that of agreaterime. I venture to aay that the majority ef the yeople in New York do not sce, or pretend not to anything criminal im it, and that, if they were questioned as to their belief, one half of them would voy that the negro was not a man. If the min- isters of the churches were asked: Is a is a a man’ perhaps they would reply, he is. the deacons of the ehurch were asked, perhaps they would answer im the afirmative, unless they had sons planters at the South, or had taken heavy mort on slave property. Nous of us, my friends, really as we look at other sina. For instanee, we do not slavery as we do piracy, nor do we shrink from contac® with the slaweholder of the South with the samo degre of horror as we would from contact with a man free from the bigh reas and red with blood. If it were an- need now, in this eity, that one man out ot every se~ of the white populstion—I mean one out of each teven of the few who ean truly assert that they have ne negro blood in them—were to be seized and sold into Af= rica, it Would cause # great storm of indignation. This erises frem the fact that the white man is regarded as @ | Dut that the negro is not looked on as & man, bat ¢ with whom slavery agrees just as the meses el, because, as the boy js uso’ to it,” Sir, bow are the Southerm reated whon they visit this city? i Lest. rooma in the hotels or their #0, they aro receiveived into society, amd they oven go 0 far to publicly proclaim, themselves slavebolders. In this respoct New York te not alone, for we find that in Boston the a! negro hunters, the ignorant, debauched, lewd, corrups men who live by hunting down negroes with were vtonly, oa the occasion of a recent visit, | and boarded, Yat they were taken in the carriages of the leading ryerchanta.
