In this time the impatient of Jacksonville, finding the delay of the boat great by sea, sent a detachment up the river for a portion of cannon, who, reac! Picolata, crossed by land to the city, and arrived in seagon to partake in the festivities attending the announcement of the ancient city of Fiorida having declared her indepen- dence of federal tyranny, in the same vein as a few years: ago she had cast off the chains of ‘Territorial vasealage.”” Some persons, strangers, who, from the dread of giving up lifelong habits, count the cost, are curious in their inquiries to know how this country, without ever having @ spare copper in the Treasury, or any credit whatsoever, will be ablo to support herself in her condition of perfect independency, or defend herself in the event of a war with ane. ‘ing republic or a foreign State.

Indeed, these islands,.the inhabitants thercof consenting, might be sold for sums payable at distant periods as they should be needed—certain portions being set apart by agreement for the support and maintenance of beacons along the const for the ‘safety of commerce in general, ‘and, in the same view, another part for the couetruction of post roads and the maintenance of post offices through this at present eparsely populated peninsula, the inhabi- tants not being commercial, and engaged exclusively in the raising of cotton for the European market. in- habitants of Florida are currently reported to be 120,000 in number, of which one half are black. The expense of mai!s, as put down in newspapers, is $170,000 annually, and would be a tax to this country, even were there no other, difficult to be paid; and the income from foreign commodities would avail nothing other than to furnish offices and increase the general expenses of liv! The importation of Africans might be made to pay well for a few years, if permitted by the friendly Powers, and par- ticularly if the by be firmly and economi- cally managed as a monopoly by the band of government, or otherwise the loss by sudden admissions would to pre- gent owners be unjust, and be equal to a bar to receiving the native blacks of Virginia, which by civilization ‘and Christianizing are of far finer cast. The ability of the Commonwealth of Florida is wholly unequal to its patriot ism. In the event of its forming one of a confederation, not a dollar cam it ever carry into the common exchequer without taking from its immediate necessities, or alfor the smallest assistance towards a military support or for ® naval armament; In a word, she never ean exer- cise more than an ideal independency, if not a constitutional one, or be other than what she has ever been—a uae a come, to which it may be her chances to .

I suppose with you, a full complement would be four white servants, and L4know it is, because we ex- pect and require less of our servants than you de of yours.

It is true this is a minority’; but the majori- ty are equally to blame because of their apathy, which attows such men to promulge their mad views, instead of putting them down.

Whenever any social question convulses a nation, it be- hooves every individual who mbabits it, and derives di- rect or indirect advantages from its protecting lawa, to take thatfpart which the law of nations authorizes, if he wishes not to be considered as an ingrate, unworthy of the hospitality and security with which he has been favored.

Meeting of the Massachusetts Anti- Slavery Society. STRONG MUSTER OF THE CONSERVATIVES Great Excitement and Noisy Demonstrations. THE ABOLITIONISTS DENIED A HEARING. The Meeting Dispersed by the Mayor of the City, &e ni Boeron, Jan. 24, 1861. The Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society has com- menced its two daye session in Tremont Temple. Francis Jackson presides. By ten o'clock, the hour of meeting, the body of the hall was filled by the friends of the cause, including many ladies. Soon after the passagee and doorways to the hall were filled by # disorderly crowd. Remarks from the President and James Freeman Clark were listened to respectfuily, but the appearance of Wen- del} Phillips called forth a storm of yells and hisses from the extreme part of the hall. ‘The rioters are not in strong force, but manage cen- tinually to interrupt Mr. Phillips in his remarks. ‘Mr. Phillips keeps cool, and declares that as he has two days before him he will finieh his speech. Previous to,attempting to speak Mr. Phillips read a series of resolutions, quoting from Daniel Webster, Wm. Ellery Channing, Henry Clay and others. The resolutions were comparatively reasonable and were listened to in gilence. Therefore, the speaker stated, that hereafter an additional series might-be ex- pected. At one o'clock comparative quiet was restored, when Mr. Phillips was allowed to finish his speech, ani the Convention adjourned for dinner. AFTERNOON SESSION. Long before three o’ciock the gallery and the audi- tariom began filling rapidly. The people in the body of the hall were quiet, but the boys in the gallery appeared in for a row. Singing, howling, catcalls, &., filled up the time between spare moments. At three o’clock a strong force of Boston city police march- ed into the gallery, much to the surprise and alarm of the boys who were waiting for a row. The police quietly took places both sides of the gallery. As soon as they recovered their equanimity the boys gave three cheers for the police. ‘The meeting was called to order by the Chairman, who read a letter from Mr. Jackson, president of the associa- tion, who expressed a desire to retire from office, in con- sequence of declining health. This was referred to the Nominating Committee—the boys in the gallery yoting in the negative. The Chairman wished to make it known that nobody but members of the Anti-slatery Society had aright to vote. (Derisive laughter from tho galleries.) The Chairman further informed the meeting that it would be necessary to obtain tickets for the evening session. (Laughter in the galleries.) ‘The resolutions read in the morning now came up for disoussion. Chas. C. Burleigh was introduced as first speaker. Mr. Burleigh is well known to New York audien- ces, He addressed in the latest style of the infidel school, carries a formidable patriarchal beard, and is generally ae hirsute as Eeau used to be; wears his hgir long and in thick curls behind bis ears, He went straight in for doing away with the Union if slavery could not opherwise be abolished, (Hisses.) Abolitioniate stood on a platform high at least as that of heathen philosophy. Let justice be done though she heavens fall. Not that they feared that the heavens would fall; for justice must be done. They had heard that demands were made tbat Massachusetts should repeal her Per- sonal Liberty bill. (Loud applause and hisses.) Jt was. proposed tbat the servants of the slaye- power might do true allegiance to the demon they ferve; but these bills cannot be repealed except right be sacrificed to expediency. He was opposed to ali conoessions to the South; for men cannot always be making concessions; they must resist at some period. Therefore let them resist at once, They must not repeal any of the Personal Liberty bills. (Hissing, noise and great confusion.) They must not divide the country between the slave and free powers by means of misorable concession, (Cries of “Put him out,” “Out with him,” hisses, cat-calls, bowling and a noisy demonstration generally. “ Three cheers for the Union,” given, with groat earnest- ness. ‘ Three groans for the abolitionists.’ “ Thre cheers for the white man,’ with a will—“Three cheers for the black man,” given with enthusiism—“Three groans for the police.) The excitement in the gallery broke out again; hissing all through the gallery, and, and repetition of the scenes in the morn- ing. Poor Burleigh pAtiently digging into an awful speech which only threo or four persons can bear. A camp meeting hymn etarted in the gallery—police in a porfeet state of immobility. Chorus in the gallery, “We are going home, we are going home to die no more.”* Laughter and an uproarious applause, followed by loud hisses, Burleigh continued his speech, nota word of which es- caped the Boston reporters, who regarded it as something very fresh. The howling and yelling at length became go furious that even patient Burleigh had to retreat. Such a hubbub and confusion ensued as is perfectly in- describable, It was entirely useless for the Chairman to attempt toepeak. Every word was drowned in con- tinued howling, stamping, whis!ling and cat calls, which the Bowory boys would fail to imitate in their most ex- cited state of mind. The Chairman now attempted to speak, but the noise and excitement became as loud as the roaring of the sea when lashed into a furious storm. Some industrious fol Jows ia the gallery had obtained some corn creaks, which they rattled about with unecasing industry, adding to the already intensely uproarious character of the proceedings. There were great fears exprens. ed that the gallery would fall, the creaking of the corn creaks leading some to suppose that the build ing wae giving way. Bot nothing would stop the furious disposition of the disturbers of the meeting. The police stood quietly by, looking on, Presently another camp meeting hymn was started, and the people in the gallery having nothing better to do, began to pitch the cushions of the eoats upon the audience below, in the midst of yelling and howling as ferocious as that of frontier Indians, the people dodging about to escape the blows from the cushions, Then there was increased confusion, the meeting being ata perfect stand etill, The temple was completely in the hands of the mob, which increased evory moment. Mr. Fdmund Quincy, the acting chairman, now came to the front of the platform, howling out as londly as possible in such an uproar, “if the police have been ia- structed by the Mayor to stand up and do their daty, they will proceed to disperse this mob.’’ The police did not hear a word of this address, and go Temained stationary, as before. The people in the gal- lery, being entirely uninterrupted, continued their riotous demonstrations, The yelling and screaming was por- feetly deafening, Even the venerable folks carried ear trumpets were forced to dispense with thom, so terrible was the din kept up by the rowdies, Another speaker came forward and endeayored to make himself heard, but he was treated (o a hymn to the tune of “Dixies Land.’’ As there wie no heip for it, the gallery boys were left to themselves, and such a storm of hiewing and howling as they kept up for half an hour has rarely been heard. At longth Goo. H. Hoyt came forward to speck. Mr. Hoyt is quite @ young mam, and acted ag one of John Brown’s counsel in bis trial for the Harper's Ferry raid. He commenced by saying, “I think Garrison spoke the ments of the ant} slavery people of Massachusetts, when be suid, ‘{ will not equivecate—t will not surrender asingle inch.’ That is what he would say to this mob.” The noise was continued, the crowd becoming if peseible more boisterous than before. For several Minutes the tumult was tremendous, when Mayor Wight- man, with the Chief of Police and a posee of oilicers, on tered the temple, The whole audience wae now thrown tO persict consternation in the presence of the police, who filled the rioters with apprehension ond the timid with terror, The Mayor and Chief came jn front of the platform, and hie Honor, with outstretched hands, ap- peated ior aiience, Presently the crowd beeine more pacific at the prevence of the chief magistrate of the vity, and comparative order was restored ‘Pho Mayor.said — “Fellow citignne, Tam sure that yon, &., &o. who are the citizens of Boston, will listen to the voioe of its Chief Magistrate. (Loud cheers, and cries of “Good,” and ‘three cheers for Mayor Wightman.”’) Feliow-citi- wens, 1 can only say that you will testify your respect for the Chief Magistrate whom you have elected by keeping. silence, and listening to that which I shall say. (Votces— “We shall.””) And now, inasmuch as this meeting been disturbed by tumultuous and riotous I am requested by the trustees of this building to dieperse this meeting.” At this announcement loud cheers, cries of ‘Good,’ and tremendeus demonstrations of delight arose from the divorderly persons in the galleries. A waving of hate, violent gesticulations, and frantic outbursts of riotous in dividuals, continued for several minutes, This, they thought, was the end of the anti-slavery meeting. The Mayor continued—‘ Fellow-citizens, having an nounced my intention, under the direction of a written order of the Trustees of this Temple, I have simply to say to you that 1 am gure you will respect me sufficiently to jeave this place quietly and peaceably. Loud cries of “Yes, yes,” aroge from some in the gal- lery, while the anti-slavery meu on the platform and im the body of the temple, who were dissatisfied at the manner of the Mayor’s announcement, ferogiously ahout- ed “No, no,” and wanted the Mayor to produce the eyi- dence of his authority from the Trustees. ‘The Chairman, Mr. Quincy, and other leading members had a brief conference with his Honor, and protested that the Trustees had authorized no such promulgation, Here there was continued excitement among the aboli - tionists, who were now foremost in making uaproarious demonstrations. After repeated shouts from ali quarters of ‘Read it,” the Mayor said—Gentlemen, I am request- ed to read the document whicn has been placei in my hande, and which I regard as sufficient authority for my conduct.”’ He read the letter as folio Bowrox, Jan, 24, 1861, Mr, Jos, M.

THE SNOW FALL YESTERDAY—DANGERS OF SNOW- BALLING, ‘The spell of cold yet agreeable and bracing weather which prevailed in the earlier part of the week wag broken yesterday by a heavy fall of snow, which made its appearance about five o’clock in the morning, and in a few hours covered the streets and sidewalks to the depth of some four inches. There was a splendid prospect of the storm lasting until the snow would accumulate to such an extent as to defy the pickling efforts of railroad companies, and to render sleighing for a few days almost certain; but to the horror of all whose hopes lay in the direction of Bloomingdale road and tho Central Park, about three o’clock in the afternoon the storm dwindied into a fine shower of rain, which soon washed away the snow from the streets, leaving behind a most horri- ble condition of slush, filth and puddle, Under the cir- cumstances perhape the only persons who dérived any ‘amusement from the snow were the mischievoue urehing of the city, who indulged extensively in the sport of pelt+ ing snowballs at verdant pedestrians, This is no small nuisance, as some people—the Pw pace ly—oocasionally receive severe injuries, from the effects of Nee ta ae he days.
