Nothing they are a machine merely wO arc making the power that drives it The nature of political action is to use the existing public sentiment never to make any It hinders reform election postponed and finally strangled several reform measures sidcration in the Legislature spare you to make politicians plant it is too early to reap! The ree must die but for us and it is not passible for a true abolitionist to be elected to any important office no party will elect such a man Subsequently Mr Phillips spoke of government Its use is to protect the weak the strong do not need protection One great end of government is to secure freedom of speech Yet Daniel Webster talks of stop ping discussion That is taking away highest 1 I 1 1 Ulvll clILCL U1J LI II lUUl I LlidL oLLUIIipLo IC lo tyranny But it has taken months for the people to awake to the insolence of that demand This inso lence of our leaders is not noticed enough Nobody has the right to restrain our freedom of speech We are called fanatics but all earnest men are fanatics It is the seal nature sets to their sincerity that it makes them ardent enthusiastic fiery Dan iel Webster too is a fanatic only on the opposite side to us We go about preaching disunion he preaching union Mr Phillips pursued this subject at great length but the shades of evening prevented our taking minutes The above are mere hints of the topics he discussed in a style and manner which cap tivated all who heard him Mr George Putnam contrasted the coldness of men on this subject with the earnestness they feel on much less important topics ew attend anti slavery meetings fewer still come to sympathize I he most thrilling accounts of the horrors of slavery hariUy move us by? Because custom and time have hardened us to this familiar wrong Our fa thers held slaves for many generations and the public mind has become reconciled to it Besides it serves us in politics and commerce and we become its vas sals We lend it the aid of our Bibles hymn books and prayers We pillar it even on the shoulders of Omnipotence ugitive Slave Law and all shocks all humanity beside but we glory in it we have law for So had Shylock for the pound of flesh so had the Inquisition for its butch eries so had the monsters of the rench Revolu tion True law is the expression of Right all other laws arc to be despised But we must maintain the Union with whom With tyrants robbers profligates with the greatest sinners on earth or this we must commit all these outrages and wrongs No Union is worth that sacrifice: humanity' and justice are worth all things else There are some who even talk of compensating the slave owners in case of emancipation Why not compensate the thief who takes your property Compensate the burglar and the pirate rather than the slaveholder The compensation is due to the slave not to his master Compensate him if you can but all the wealth on earth cannot do it But how shall slavery bo abolished? By moral ef fort alone If all the political abolitionists would join us and engage in disseminating anti slavery sen timent through the land in a very short time our country would be free This is the only way to abol ish slavery Brief remarks were made by several other persons which helped to increase the interest of the meet ing The foregoing report contains merely the spirit of the addresses

induced to call upon Dr Warren who gave me some relief but af ter some time I grew quite disheartened my limbs were almost a mass of sores from my knees down to my ankles scarcely allowing me to sleep or rest day or night I had read a good deal about Russia Slave but having used so many advertised plasters and salves and tried so many things that I felt little in terest in the Russia Salve although repeatedly advis ed by my friends to try it I was too skeptical to do so At length a mon brought me a box of Russia Salve which I applied to my limbs as the directions im plied I really began to feci

Nay lhere is no test of character in our religion it is easy respectable lhe test of religion is persecu tion No cross no There is no cross in our religion Mobs and ministers blacklegs and church members are at one The offence of the cross has ceased It takes ten times as much charac ter to keep out of the church as to get in Even Henry Clay joins the church to make his calling and election and Daniel Webster himself is a church member Anti Slavery is now in America what Christianity was eighteen centuries ago in Ju dea their positions are the same name like is a stumbling block and that is the true test of religion We commune with slavehold ers slave traders and slave whippers Who trouble slaveholders? Not Christians but Abolitionists lhey tremble at Anti Slavery Conventions they rejoice at church gatherings What is the power of our theology Nothing It attracts nobody No body goes to hear the sermon but the music and to sleep look about and be respectable Anti slavery has no decorations no orchestra no cushioned pews It relics on its truth its moral power and yet it has sifted and shaken the whole people of this country hat is the true religion Inwardly strong and mighty to the pulling down of the strongholds of Anti slavery7 is the pioneer of all reforms Meth odists and Univcrsalists are these alone but aboli tionism enlarges the soul to embrace all reforms Abolitionists do not conceive of the true grandeur of our cause our education is so narrow ana grovelling If we could see its future glory we should flock to its standard in crowds that God would touch lips with the gift to depict it aright Then would your churches be forsaken and your altars crumble down and the millennium would come In a subsequent part of the day Mr Pillsbury spoke of the omnipotence of public sentiment to pull down or build up Parties banks tariffs rise or fall as the people will 9b they could put down slavery if they would but they do not desire to There is no sect in the land anti slavery not even tho Qua kers therefore this movement will crush every one of them They all combine against abolition thoq7 it would save any of them that dopt And as all tbp sects of conspired against Christ and came to nought so all the sects which oppose anti slavcry must perish while it shall grow greater and greater In politics said Mr Pillsbury we think ourselves a model for the world but the despotisms of Europe might teach us Wc denounce Austria but while we have no foot of free soil Austria is all free soil In 1836 Austria proclaimed freedom to all fugitive slaves The meanest mud scow on the Danube is freer than the proudest American man of war We whose savior a savior on castors! to this says hf on fidelity to the ugitive Slave Law return runaway slaves is the price of the Union How many fathers of you will give one son or daugh ter to slavery to save it Hold up your hands No hands Is this your patriotism A Doctor of Divinity said he would send his mother into slavery to save the Union It takes a Doctor of Divinity to say that or to do it We seem to think that all manner of blasphemy can be forgiven but the blas phemy against the American Union hath never for giveness All parties worship it and offer their burnt sacrifices on its bloody altars Their candi dates are all saviors of the Union rivals in this great work Even the 'ree Soil Senator has his doxology to the Union in which he declares it twice No party is opposed to slavery individuals in all the parties are opposed to it but the leaders of all thej parties will sacrifice humanity to power and prefer 1 ment All support the Union and for what it them Remond took considerable exception to Mr remarks on the ree Soilers He held to the merit of that party though he did not believe them pure and lamented Charles letter of acceptance as weak and unadvised He thought Liberty Party people as anti slavery as any body We cannot wait the advent of a pure govern ment we must act under the present one corrupt as it is He wished all men were ree Soilers He did not believe in isolation He gave the Garrisonians the credit of being the only even partially free men in the country AVendcll Phillips who for the first time addressed an Essex audience commenced by some remarks on the variety of tastes for speakers No one could please all If he did he must make a very poor speech or address a very poor audience Must all men be of one pattern all cut down to one height? In America we are awed into a given model by the fear of the majority We live in constant dread of unpopularity European institutions permit more independence The press and the pulpit are both freer and bolder Our tendency is to uniformity We need to guard constantly against the temptation to smother our convictions to please the public taste Miss Martineau said she found more infidels in New

Thompson nnd Harriet Martineau and Mr nnd Mrs Mott nnd Beecher and a host of your friends have made American slavery a world wide question That is something to have done for the slave specially for humanity generally The public is a many hcaded thing Some of the hends nrc larger and better furnished than the heartsothers have larger hearts than heads nnd are willing to do when shown what to do but are blown about by every wind of doctrine and a third and a much larger class nrc so fond of a calm that they do not even whistle for a wind but will readilv assist if some hearty sailor will call them to quarters when the wind comes up and steer them on when the ship is in motion We have a few spirits among us who are stirring now that the fugitive Slave Bill has enabled you to awaken the world to the utter corruption of the Amer ican mind by the existence of slavery in the Southern States and the slavery of the North to the love of dollars and the consequent bowing of their knees to Baal We laymen cannot at first understand how it that those who call themselves ministers of the gos pel and who consider or at least affect to consider that they axe set apart to minister to that gospel and to proclaim it on the house tons should be shame upon them the first among those who desert the principles of liberty and the goepol of libercy to the captive and who find out that it is not a liberty lov ing a liberty teaching gospel but a slavery allowing a torpid gospel not life but inanition one that im poses upon them the duty of praying for the sinners and urging the church to soothe them by gentle mo nitions and forget the sufferers whom their petted sinners have injured and are injuring demoralizing and imbruting I hese Orville Deweys are miracles of love and tenderness for the brute with the cowhide and pray for the slave that God will fit his back for the burden Ihus they wrestle with God in prayer and hope that He will through Christ bring forth chastity purity and all the Christian amenities from the auction block This class of saints seem to consider that a black man should think of duties not of rights If it be true and it is generally admitted that there can be no right without a duty flowing from it it would seem to follow that there is no duty without a right We have had a glorious peace gathering during the last three days and this evening there will be a Soiree at Rooms Hanover Square The speaking has been good rational and the spirit manifested earnest and as I hope and believe much good has been done in the way of confirming and strengthen

consistency in supporting what they profess is as I think a matter of just praise to them as a body If other sects did the same the world would be largely improved This is what they do here steadily and consistently which other sects do not do so steadily and consistently They maintain their own poor We do not find poor Quakers amongst the hundreds of thousands of paupers in England They build and repair their own churches The Established sect hero do not build their own churches they receive money from the State for that purpose and distrain the goods and imprison the persons who do not pay rates for repairing their sectarian churches They educate their own children and the orphans of Quakers and support the work of education by other sects aiyd they do so with great stcatHness uni formity and liberality They assist to improve prison discipline They set the example of temperance and aid the cause in others They are never found drunk in the kennels or brought before magistrates for intemperance violence or robbery They have as I have before said at all times pro moted the cause and encouraged the advocates of peace They have borne so steady uniform and consistent a testimony to their own views of faith and duty that they have compelled the legislature to emancipate them from the imposition of the priest in the marriage ceremony and grant them the power to celebrate it in
