What an awful oath what a sanc tion I what a curse 4 A fact which I remember from Livy has made a deep impression upon my mind In one of the wars between Rome and Carthage in which Gracchus commanded the Roman army and Hanno the Carthaginian Graclhus on a certain day saw that a battle with Hanno the next day was inevitable He diffnol evade the necessity put how sh'ould he prepare his army Il was a crisis in the war That battle would decide whether Rome should Continue befree He had in his army many volunteer slaves He call'd these together and addressed them mor row we meet Hanno Whosoever of you shall mg the head of an nemy shall be a freeman?

Rev Mr BRONSON wished to be indulged with a I few wordsj though not a member of the society He said bis voice had (lever before been heard in an Anti Slavery meeting and perhaps would 'not have been nowr were it not for the fact that the Society is assembled in a stable Sir 1 have listened to that Report with Aelings which 1 cannot express But I have felt shame for triy ebuntry that men'should be driven to a stable to speak for liberty while aneuil Hall stands! Let1 it be sent through the whole land i Rev'MrGROSVENORsaid! rejoicethat at this crisis this Report is to go out It is just what we need hope it will ben Report that will sound through the State and reverberate upon the distant hills and mountains! 1 know from what mind it has emanated Sir while laboring in this cause in the country I have found the need ef jusi sueh a document as this Tho grand obstacle is not 'opxition but apathy and error in regard to the real ground of danger This is more to be dreaded than opposition The impression prevails ex tensively in the country that we are in no danger from the influence of Southern slavery It eannot say the yeomanry who inhabit the hills of New England that the liberties of the North are in danger? That Re port is adapted in every part to show that they are mis taken" We are just now at the point to which every na tion James before it goes to ruin Here is our danger The Report shows it Congress has trampled upon the right of petitiou Shall we here be told that st must not speak aught against those in authority 1 Then why speak at ail 1 Surely if we may not calliu question the doings of those who make and administer our laws we arc al ready slaves I rejoice to know that it is the rising spirit of the country that is to redeem this icily The country are for us Witness the vale of tho General Court grant ing us their hall 'Shall we not increase the tide till it risei Still higher till it pours down and covers the highest spires in this city Sir it is not the first time that 1 have been in a barn When I go baek and tell the yeomanryf the country that I have discussed the principles of liber ty and the rights of man in a barn in Boston they ill rsply That is nothing new to us we have often discus sed the tame subject in our barns We understand it? The motion for the acceptance printing and extensive circulation of the report was carried unanimously and it was resolved to take up a collection during the session of the society by subscriptions and donations for pub lication of the Report aod other purposes In speaking upon this subject Mr Garrison remarked that the first meeting of the Ohio Ami Slavery Society was held in a barn and one mtn said if the meeting had been held in the church he could have afforded to give only £5 but 'now he was rich enough to give £50 i Rev MOSES TIIACHER asked leave to make a communication to tho society now because ho must leave ahe city before tha afternoon session He had recently Thursday 9 A ISAAC WINSLOW Esq in me cnnir rayerjr Rev Mr NORRISresolution Resolved That wl ile the cause of Abolition preserves the most unbroken harmony throughout" the ranks of its numerous fi iemls it lirouiises the only safe remedy to sla very and produces insurrections only'among slaveholders nt the South aniilte enemies of liberty every Where Mr 'N He in the rashness of a modern abolitionist saiil Ro mans ya are all freemen? low for the cjinment What was the influence On the skies They rent the sky with' shouts and stretched forth tieir hands to the gods and prayed for blessings upon the Roman people?
