of Sympathy or of condemnation for nil the woes and the crimes of those hturics past or those centuries to come of suffering and of oppression I called upon God and man to arrest so terrible an

is and in me to advert to therq before a mixed audi even for purposes of prevention It is no mat ter if there be hell or who goes to it but it must not be mentioned to cars I leave this topic with a single remark If there be another man in the community who will confess that my speech wrought upon his mind as Mr el ton said it did upon his let no female friend or ac quaintance be entrusted to his keeping Mr elton uses a falsehood whose invention he attributes to somebody else He says it was the char acter of my speech that caused the disturbance at the meeting and that the disturbance proceeded from the meeting at large and not particularly from that dis orderly company which came from the college Both these statements are untrue The disturbance pro ceeded from a single oint where the students of the college were seated Besides what caused equal dis turbance from the same members of the college when Mr Emerson delivered his speech in the same place a few days before Mr elton alludes to his last defence of Mr bad Latin Has Mr elton so soon forgotten those articles by Dr Beck in the Literary World which exposed his flagrant ignorance on a subject to which so much of his life had been devoted? Mr elton cannot but know that ninety nine hundredths of all the schol ars in tbc country condemned Mr Latin as soon as it appeared and that after Dr ex posure of Mr Webster and his jesuitieai defender that defender was installed at once by all literary men as one of the Dunciad heroes And is Mr elton yet to be convinced of the popular sentiment that his bad latinity was the least part of his offence that he left the honored post of a scholar to enter the political arena as a gladiator that in selecting the side of Sla very instead of the side of reedom he abjured the generous spirit of the classics which in the main is a spirit of Liberty and that he proved himself ready to prostitute literature and belie the ancients for the ignoble purpose of upholding a man who has done more for the cause of slavery than any other man in our whole history Doubtless that controversy was in Mr mind when he wrote his letter lie takes advantage of it to advise others not to mention it But that he himself should have revived the remem brance of it can be accounted for only on that princi ple of mind which Lord Kames illustrates by a per sonal anecdote He says that when riding in his carriage a man whom he did not know very officious ly tendered him some assistance and looked up at him as if demanding recognition At last he exclaimed What our Lordship know me Why I once had the honor to be tried before your Lordship for sheep As to Mr elton's charge that I made a personal attack on Mr Webster I have but one word to say I have expressed my views on this subject in the speech above referred to I there took the ground in public which for many years past I have always maintained in private that we ought to support no immoral man for any office of honor and trust and that when a public vices become public it is a most gross and mischievous misnomer to call them private and thus shelter them from condemnation If therefore to apply my doctrine a man notorious ly addicted to intoxication for instance is a candidate for the Presidency it is the duty of all moral men to do all they ran and call upon the millions of temper ance men throughout the country to ensure his delcat The possession of great talents so far from excus ing only makes the Conduct so much the more crimi nal and the example the more pernicious These being my convictions of duty I shall act upon them If I am wrong I am ready to hear any argument on the other side But until convinced to the contrary I must act Martin Luthcr fashion upon the conclu sions of my own reason and conscience But the train of remark which was made above ap plies here According to Mr practical eth ics it is very innocent for one man to get drunk but very wicked for another to speak of it A man may draw his inspiration from Bacchus when in bis public speeches he hiccups the praises of God and from his factitious praises of God may get more thousands of dollars for the worship of Bacchus and this is very well but to speak of such an enormity to a Chris tian people to seek to avert the example of it from the young men of our land and to save the country from having such a stigma blazoned on its front this Mr morality would lead him to charac terise as foulest Let it be so We now know what Mr elton is He proves his ethics in this case as he did the chastity of his mind in the other Mr elton has much to say about violations of good His ideas and mine on this subject evi dently differ so much that we could not discuss it with profit for I hold honesty and truth to be the first elements of a correct taste He charges his op ponents with using epithets and yet in a late letter his mild and gentlemanly adjectives are vulgar and After Mr avowal of the exercises of his own mind on reading an earnest and perfectly decorous plea for the virtue of one sex and the morality of the other I have no epithets for him Nothing but the solid balls of nouns substan tive can reack him How unspeakably to be regret ted that the ancient and honorable University at Cambridge should within one short year prove it self to fiavc another Professor who would be an as sassin of character instead of an assassin of life' HORACE MANN Warren Street Chapel Boston WIUTAKER INORMS the citizens of Boston and vicinity that he has opened classes for instruction in Inventive Drawing and Design ft Tho mode of instruction is entirely new being a development of the power of the pupil of merely imitating copies as heretofore pursued and is founded first on Geometric orm secondly on Natural Objects as Traits floners producing results in much less time than by the "old method and from its Simplicity insuring success to the learner SEPARATE CLASSES OR THE SEXES Terms per Quarter payable in Hours of attendance from 10 till12qA and from 3 till 5 i ie CS?"

or four clays some eight or ten slaves have been missed from the premises of their owners in different parts of the city and rewards have been offered for their apprehen sion It is supposed that some secret system ot in veigling slaves is in operation and the officers of the different municipalities are busy in endeavoring to fathom the mystery Late discoveries have shown that a complete system of supplying forged papers of freedom has been practised and in one instance these documents have been found apparently so true that none but those well versed in the manner in which they are drawn up

received from creditable sources state that many towns are in arms against the Gov ernment and that the insurgents number 5000 strong In several skirmishes between the patriots and the troops the latter suffered severe losses At tbc battle fought at Ncuvitas the troops were defeated and some of the officers among them Col Conte were captured The remainder took refuge on board of a steamer At tho last accounts one thou sand insurgents were reported to be in possession of Ncuvitas and the government had sent 2000 troops against them On the other hand it is stated that the government had received by express news from Puerto Principe to the 16th inst and that the rebels commanded by Joaquin Aguero had been dispersed by the Govern ment troops with the loss of five killed and many horses munitions of war captured Largo num bers of the ii surgents are said to have surrendered and others were ready to do so on receiving an assur ance pardon The whole Island except in the neighborhood of

the 4th of July It is said to have been the most brilliant partv of the season Mr Peabodv it is well known is a native of Danvers Essex county and is one of the wealthiest bankers in London His nu merous acts of patriotism and liberality have made his name honorable both as a gentleman and an American On the 4th of July about 800 persons ladies and gentlemen including many of the aristocracy of Eng land and all the respectable Americans whose pres ence in London was known to Mr Peabody were in vited to meet the American minister and his lady at a concert ball and supper The concert was sid to be of surpassing excellence The pertormers were the most popular vocalists in England and were received with enthusiasm Dancing commenced at II The following incident is related by a correspondent of the New York Courier About half past eleven attention was withdrawn from every thing else and the music went on unheed ed by the dancers as the venerable Duke of Wel lington was announced and entered the room side by side with Mr Peabody who having remained until then in the reception room entered the ball room with his Grace and conducted him through it to the dais Rnd presented him to Mr and Mrs Lawrence Above the dais upon the wall and tastefully cano pied with the blended flags of England and America hung a portrait of Washington and as the old Dpke Seated himself in a chair (the chair itself worked in embroidery by an American lady and never before pressed by any human form) directly beneath the picture of Washington and facing a portrait of his own Queen the enthusiasm of the assembly could no longer be repressed and the feelings of gratification and respect which had till then been suppressed burst all bounds and found expression in loud and long con tinued and oft repeated cheers until the hall rang again with The supper which was announced at 1 is said to have been prepared in a style of elegance rare ly surpassed The same correspondent just quoted says opportunities for observation can frankly say that I have never seen except under the roof of royalty itself anything to excel the taste or the splendor or the munificence of this entertain ment and it has produced an impression upon Eng lish society which will not soon be forgotten and which Mr Peabody well forc knew in undertaking ANNIVERSARY THE WESTERN ATI SLAVERY' SOCIETY Tho Executive

Prof elten to the Boston Courier copied into your paper of this morning with feelings of astonishment which! must leave others to conceive for I cannot express When I first heard that he had renewed his attacks upon me (for I did not see them ns to the credit of tho village where I live no copy of the Boston Courier cornea to our Post Office) I thought I would let him go on and add to the depth and breadth of that discredit which he had brought upon himself when he undertook to defend MrM ebstet's bad Latin and worse logic Your pub lication of his letter in connection with that part ot my speech delivered at Cambridgeport to which it refers has led to an alteration of my opinion It is mainly for public and not for personal reasons how ever that I propose to examine some of his charges In that speech I adverted to some of the moral as pects of slavery As the ugitive Slave Law makes the North active participators in upholding slavery I thought it right that our people should know some thing more about the system they were so vehemently urged to support I therefore referred to that most revolting feature by which all the ties of conjugal affection and fidelity among three millions of our fellow beings are left without a single legal protec tion and by which that virtue of the female sex without which there can be no other virtue is aban doned at all times and every where to the mercy of wicked men I think no one will say that this was a topic improper to be introduced on such an occasion The vice? of in continence and those crimes which none but persons in the married state can commit are described in his tories explained in ethical rebuked from the pulpit and their terrible consequences exempli fied on the stage In thousands of instances they are referred to in parliamentary and legislative debates and the speeches made on such occasions are publish ed in newspapers that go into every household and arc read aloud by both sexes without any other pain than that which arises in virtuous bosoms on a know ledge of the commission of wrong I know there are those who profess like Mr elton in this case to beoffended nr distressed at such allusions But I believe they are wholly confined to those who are themselves guilty of the offences denounced or to those who enact the same offences in the chambers of their own imagination but desire to conceal it from the world by a pretence of superlative modesty Taking it for granted then that such topics may be referred to on such an occasion at least when the virtue of a race is to be protected on the one side and one of the greatest of national crimes to be aver ted on the other the only remaining question which can arise is whether they are treated in a proper man ner And here I take it that the canons of propriety arc so well established that not Mr elton nor any other man nor class of men can unsettle or reverse them without effecting an entire revolution in the moral sentiments of society In works of science in courts of law in ecclesiastical councils and on various other occasions every fact that knowledge has reach ed and every crime against purity which the wick edness of man can commit are explained exposed and commented upon and if the object of the writer or speaker be good if he seeks to enlarge knowledge to defend innocence or to avenge crime then he ad dresses himself to the virtuous sentiments of mankind and excites no improper emotions but in the minds of the dissolute or in the dissolute mind Even if the speaker or writer be unskilled in handling the instru ment of language and injures his thoughts by an oc casional vulgarism or euphuism of language still though we may smile at his mistakes we always ap prove his purpose The same holds true not in language only but in conduct Shakspeare makes Othello say of the pur est of women I not to make me jealous To say my wife is fair feeds well loves company Is free of speech sings plays and dances well Where virtue is these are more Yet there are persons whom education social posi tion or some other salutary restraint withholds from the practice of unchaste vices while they still grudge 1hc perpetrator his illicit enjoyments They revel and gloat with him in imagination and secretly regret that they cannot keep him company An Irishman dreamed that his friend invited him to a treat and asked him whether he would have his punch hot or cold Hot said he but while they heated it he waked Och he exclaimed how I wish I had said cold and then I could have drank it be fore waking So with the class of impure minds towhich I refer They desire to extract from the emo tion what they have lost in the sensation "When certain passages in the Bible are read whose literal sense has not been obscured or paraphrased by our translation they never feci the rebuke of the saint because they arc so absorbed in the pleasures of the sinner They read Shakspeare to get a keener sense of the joys of his scoundrels and not a more vivid contemplation of the purity of his heroines If clas sical students they get an expurgata edition where all the unseemly passages are collected at the end and pore over the rejected parts They think Scipio was a fool for relinquishing his captive And if they look at so humble an effort as was that of mine towhich Mr elton refers to rouse indignation against those more than savage barbarities which are daily hourly perpetrated at the South not against a single victim but against a whole race abominations that now make this country the scandal of the civi lized world and its institutions the opprobrium of the republican name they can see nothing in those words of mine but 1 lewd allusions and glowing obscenity' Now a man who could do this be he in what respect able station or office he may would on taking the marriage vow of fidelity think with gusto upon vio lating it I thaiik you therefore for publishing that part of my speech in connection with Mr letter because I do not believe there is a man or woman in tho community of the virtuous who will not say that there i not a word not an idea not an association in which gave Mr elton any pretence or shadow of pretence for the assertions ho has deliberately made He tells us virtually that as he read that part of my speech his mind was filled with images and conceptMins and that words all glowing with obscenity crowded his organ of Language I do not 'doubt it But as they are not found the speech nor suggested by the speech whence could they have corne Whence but from the rankness of his own from tho feculence of his own heart But let mo hold up this Professor in a college and guardian of youth in another fight He rebukes inc because I rebuked an enormous sin against the bodies

mitted fox to come nay which by the pctrator in committing He heard my voice and con Treasurer The Committee on Business presented the follow ing resolutions which were unanimously adopted after being ably and earnestly discussed by ord Loring Moody Putnam Parker Pillsbury and others Resolved That our controversy as abolitionists with the Church and Clergy is not with their creeds and doctrines or ceremonies and inodes of worship but it is that while they profess to honor and wor ship God they trample his law and authority under their feet and while they profess to love their bro ther and neighbor as themselves they deny their in alienable right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness buy and sell them in the market as merchandize and drive them to unpaid toil as brute beasts robbing them of all civil rights and social joys the light of education the felicities and obligations of the marriage and parental relations in a word wresting them out of the hand and from under the government of God and chaining them down body and suul to the will and caprice the law and the lust of irresponsible and merciless tyrants Resolved That while all this is done directly by the churches and ministers at the South it is fully endors ed by the entire body of those at the North who fel lowship them as Christians at the Missionary Boards at the sacramental table at the Theological Seminary and wherever else they meet in church relations who vote for and with them in carrying on the gov ernment while it has become treason and rebellion against God and who have formed and are uphold ing a Union with them while the ugitive Slave Law and other enactments they have reversed the conditions of salvation and made Christianity a crime Resolved That in view of these undeniable facts and considerations we have been compelled to regard such religion as the bulwark the forlorn hope of sla very and those who profess and preach it as a bro therhood of thieves and robbers Resolved That however much it may be right for us personally to sacrifice for the sake of Union or peace wc have no right to inflict sacrifice or suffering on others we form cured by the rights the return to slavery of such as may have escaped cither by flight or rebellion against their masters it is a Union which ought at once to be shivered forever it is the consummation of tyrltnny and injustice a covenant with death and an agreement with hell Resolved That when the American Union can be saved only by such saviors as Daniel Webster and bv such me isures as he has proposed himself too politi cally depraved and too privately debauched to admit of being saved except by an infinite stretch of the divine economy qnd his means for saving it too inhu man and devilish to be named by any earthly lan guage it is time the Union were understood and its character held in deserved execration as utterly inca pable of salvation and well worthy a fate as fearful as fell upon Sodom and Gomorrah Resolved That we are filled with unspeakable joy and satisfaction at the almost certain prospect that the public career of Daniel Webster is near to its termi nation that he will not much longer use a most mighty and commanding influence to extend the lim its and the duration of the vilest system of tyranny at which justice ever mourned or humanity wept that he will not much longer prostrate what have been extolled as the talents of an angel to deeds and doc trines that would disgrace a devil that he will not much longer be the object of the most impious and idolatrous worship bj the Whig party of the North and the slavery loving tyrants of all parties at the South that his infamous public political theories and still more dangerous personal and private practices will not much longer corrupt the conscience and de base the character of all within the broad sphere of his power that he will not much longer by such iheory and practice endanger the continuance of not only this government but of all civil and social society and bring the very name and idea of any civil government based upon justice morality and virtue into contempt and while we thus severely pronounce sentence upon such a course of rebellion against the laws of righteousness and of God we pity and deplore the blind infatuation which led to it and earnestly hope and pray that his last days and hours may be spent in contrition and repentance and a prep aration to meet tho millions of slaves he has so terri bly sinned against and wronged at the tribunal of a just and impartial God I The on the
