Away with the nuisance to the coast of Africa Here he can never rise Ed. Lib. Meeting. Last Sunday evening the Kcv. Samuel J.

May, of Brooklyn, Conn, delivered at the First Parish meeting house in this town, a most able, eloquent, anil soul-stirring Address on the subject of Slavery in the United Stales. For an hour and three quarters he commanded the attention of a crowded auditory, who listened to his appeals to their humanity and patriotism apparently with great intensity of interest and feeling. He answered, and triumphantly refuted the numerous objections and cavils which every day issue from the opposers of emancipation, and he did bo with so much of good nature and candor, as to conciliate the kind feelings of those who continue unconvinced. There were many converted on that evening to the doctrines of Abolition, and there needs but a few more such appeals, to convince and convert every apologist of slaveholcling, who is not case-hardened in the horrible delusion which now rivets the galling chains of Slavery upon the limbs of one sixth of the population of this land of liberty we say, all but such will soon give up their wicked prejudices, and yield to the claims of humanity and of God. The other gent lemen who were expected, were unable to attend.

We hope, however.soon to Lave the pleasure of being able to announce the arrival of other advocates of human liberty and human rights among ns, who ill lift up their voices like a trumpet, agaim the oppressions under which our colored brethren are groaning. Haverhill Gazette Loicell very Society. On Friday evening last, Mr. C. Stuart addressed a full assembly in Mr.T wining's meeting-house on the condition of laves, and the duty of promoting immediatt i emancipation, lie came directly to his su bject in a lucid and convincing manner, with a good spirit, which enchained the at tention of the audience to a late hour.

The impression of his startling facts and argum must have been deep and salutary. he cause of abolition came home to the feel ings of the people in a manner it had neve done before and our society are indebtf to their friend from abroad for setting their enterprise among our fellow citizens on a foundation which will not soon be shaken.

14, 1834. Last evening, a lecture on Colonization was publicly announced to be delivered before the Sc ciety of young men of this city. I won't to the meeting, and inquired of several members, whether spectators were admitted. All answered in the affirmative, whei eupon I took my seat at the back of the room. I soon discovered a deal of fluttering about the rostrum, and a young man was sent to inform me that spectators could not be admitted whereupon I left them to pursue their works of darkness by themselves.

I very much long to see the death-like shaken from the slumbering consciences of the professed followers of Jesus Christ in this enlightened, this highly favored city. Are we not guilty of the blood of two millions of our fellow pilgrims, who have fallen among thieves, whose groans and cruel sufferings we disregard, as we pass by on the other side Oh, I hat we might be aroused from our lethargy, before that awful day shall come when, like the rich man in the parable, we shall have to cry that the poor despised slaves may be sent to dip their fingers in water to cool our tongues. If we do not give heed to the light which is r.ow bursting forth on this momentous subject, we shall be left as those who would not believe, even though one were to rise from the dead. IMMEDIATE ABOLITION. HORRIBLE CONSEQUENCES In December, 1833, a temperance meeting wa held in the Kat River settlement in South Africa at which about 700 people attended and in the course of six hours, during which the meeting continued, twenty-three native speakers addressed the audience.

'This settlement was formed on occasion of liberating the Hottentots from the slavery in which they had been held by the farmers. Out of 30,000 thus liberated, settled down in six months, as steady laborers in the colony, and worked better than they had ever worked before. 1 he remaining were established in a settlement on the Kat River; and now form a community not surpassed in industry in any part of the British dominions. 'The Kat Rive settlement furnishes one of the most splendid illustrations of the absurdity of all the hackneyed objections to the freedom of slaves, from the necessity of making thcrn fit for Smuggling of Slaves. Lt.

Bagot of the British schooner Pickle, boarded a suspicious looking vessel in May off Cape Francis in the West Indies, and examined her papers carefully. She purported to be the Spanish schooner Carlotta, with two eighteen pounders, and as no evidence to justify detection was found, she was dismissed. On the same night a fishing line, which hung over the side of the Pickle, was observed to be agitated, by which the men hauled a shark on board. On opening the fish, a bundle of paper belonging to the Carlotta was found, proving that she was a slave-ship, and had landed 2I3 slaves about four hours before abe was discovered by the Pickle. 2 9 S3 15 (D SIS SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1834.

ESSEX COUNTY ANTI-SLAVERY CONVENTION IN SALEM. Another tremendous blow has just been given to the foul system of slavery, by the friends of equal and universal liberty in this section of the Union. We have just returned from the Essex County Anti-Slavery Convention, which was held at Salem on Wednesday and Thursday last. In proof of the interest which already pervades that county on the subject of emancipation, it is only necessary to state that there were present about one hundred delegates, constituting a fair proportion of the bone and muscle, and heart and soul, of old Essex. At this late hour, Friday noon,) it is impracticable for us to give the proceedings in detail in to-morrow's Liberator suffice it to say, they were full of interest, spirit, decision, and harmony.

The Convention made choice of the following gentlemen as its officers President Rev. Gardner B. Perry, Bradford. Vice Presidents Cyrus P. Grosvenor, Salem J.

G. Whittier, Haverhill D. T. Kimball, Ipswich; Charles C. Sewall, Danvers.

Secretaries Joseph Warren Cross, Ando-ver Dyer II. Sanborn, Marblehead. The Convention was principally occupied on Wednesday in organizing an Anti-Slavery Society for the County, and discussing the Preamble and Constitution prepared for the same. In the evening, addresses were delivered by the Rev. A.

A. Phelps and Rev. Samuel J. May, with irresistible power. On Thursday forenoon, various resolutions were introduced, discussed, and adopted.

In the afternoon the Salem Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society were addressed in a very interesting, solemn and pathethic manner, by Capt. Charles Stuart, He was followed by Mr. Horace P. Wakefield of Reading, in a short but eloquent speech. In the evening, speeches were made by William Oakes, Esq.

of Ipswich, Dr. Bellows of Salem, and Rev. John Frost of Whitesboro', N. Y. We hope to find room next week for a minute account of all the proceedings.

The following gentlemen were elected officers of the Essex County Anti-Slavery Society PRESIDENT. Rev. Gardner B. Perry, Bradford. VICE PRESIDENTS.

N. E. ANTI-SLAVERY CONVENTION BOSTON RECORDER. The holding of the late Anti-Slavery Convention in Boston will constitute an epoch in the history of New-England: it has erected one of those moral monuments which are destined to survive the Egyptian pyramids, and over which Decay has no power. The Convention was remarkable, not only for its sublime attitude and expansive benevolence, but for the number of its members, the soundness of their principles, and the harmony of their proceedings.

It embodied much talent, intellect and piety, nnd was upheld by a steadfast faith and a lofty spirit. The fundamental principles of the anti-slavery cause wore clearly and unitedly recognised, to the confusion of the enemies of immediate and universal emancipation. In reference to this Convention, the Boston Recorder of Saturday last makes the following astounding assertion: Even the Anti-Slavery movements, which in New-York were the occasion of animosity and evil speaking, were regulated, so far as we learn, by christian forbearance. Wonderful The Garrison men, in Weir attempts to Jorce matters, were put down bt an OVERWHELMING Among all the fictions, misstatements, errors, and calumnies, which have emanated from the colonization journals in this country, we place this in the first rank. It is essentially false.

There was no 'attempt to lorce matters' nobody was put down no resolution was cast out Every thing that was done met our cordial approbation. The audacity and corruption of the Recorder, in relatiou to this great question, render it unworthy of the couutenance of a christian community. Since Mr. Tracy's abdication, it has determinately and unbiushingly proceeded from bad to worse, lt is weekly playing the part of the Double Dealer, now bowing obsequiously to the abolition cause, and anon denouncing it as wild and criminal. Its servility is as despicable, as its putrescence is offensive.

We appeal to the proceedings of the Convention, to rebut the charge of the Recorder, and to determine the character of the members. Amoug other excellent propositions, it was with the utmost unanimity resolved That slavery, as it exists in our land, is contrary to the laws of God and to the principles of humanity That tha cause of Anti-Slavery is paramount in importance to every other benevolent enterprise That slaveholding cannot be reconciled with a profession of Christianity, and that the existing connection of slavery with the Christian Churches in the United States is inconsistent with the character of pure and undeiiled reliirion That the land of freedom is a phrase inapplicable to this country at the present time That no valid objection, can be urged JOURNAL OF THE TIMES. against the principles and measures of the American Anti-Slavery Society That immediate emancipation is the only right and sufficient remedy for slavery; That the true principle of anti-slavery is, immediate emancipation without expatriation and without condition; and That all laws, creating distinctions between white and colored citizens, should be repealed," as contrary to reason, religion, and the theory of our institutions. The essence of what is reproachfully and weakly termed Garrisonistn, is contained in the above resolutions. And yet, the Recorder boldly affirms, 'the Garrison men, in their attempts to force matters, were put down with an overwhelming vote Let us now see what judgment was passed upon the Liberator by the Convention.

On motion of Rev. C. P. Grosvenor, seconded by Mr. Barbadoes, Resolved, That the interests of the Anti-Slavery cause demand that special efforts be made to multiply the subscribers to the Lib erator.

On motion of Samuel E. Sewall, Esq. Resolved, That a Committee of five be appointed to aid in extending the patronage ot the Liberator. Messrs. Samuel E.

Sewall, Wm. Oakes, C. P. Grosvenor, Jas. G.

Barbadoes, and II. E. Benson, were appointed on that Committee. Further the following resolution was passed by the Convention. We purposely suppressed it, in publishing the proceedings, but now print it in self-defence.

On motion of Mr. James G. Barbadoes, Resolved, That Messrs. Garrison and Knapp deserve the gratitude of the colored people and their friends, for their persevering exertions in pleading the cause of the oppressed. We should not notice the gratuitous and wanton attack of the Recorder, if it were confined to ourselves but when we see that its object is to convey the impression, as widely as its own pernicious circulation, that there were serious divisions in the Convention, and that alias was voted down, we cannot hold our peace should we do so, it would be treachery in us to the anti-slavery cause.

COST OF PREJUDICE. The manner in which our colored citizens are generally treated by the proprietors of stages and steam-boats, whenever they attempt to go from one town or State to another, is vulgar and shameful in the extreme. If they travel as servants or slaves, in company with their masters or mistresses, no offence is given, and none taken but as intelligent, virtuous, and independent passengers, they are not per mitted to enjoy what is granted to the most rude, profligate, and vulgar whites. We have some facts on this subject to commu nicate to the public, which ought to make every (rue American blush for his country. It is a humiliating truth, that prejudice against persons of a colored complexion is more exclusive and venomous in New-England, than in any other portion of this republic.

We are consoled, however, in believing nay, in knowing, that it ia rapidly declining precisely in proportion to the growth of the anti-slavery cause. It may be for the pecuniary advantage of the proprietors of taverns, stages, steam boats, to know that the following resolution was unanimously adopted at the recent meeting of the New-England Anti-Slavery Convention, and that it will find a hearty response in th breasts of thousands of our most respectable fellow citizens. On motion of David L. Child, Esq. of Boston, Resolved, That it is the duty of all the friends and well wishers of the anti-slavery cause, to inquire out, and encourage with their custom and their influence, those taverns, stages, and steamboats, which receive and accommodate our colored fellow citizens, without making an illiberal and disgraceful distinction either of charges or of treatment on account of color.

The above furnishes one answer to the sneering question which is so often propounded to abolitionists, What do you mean to dor' We mean to destroy prejudice, and to give our colored brother all those rights and privileges which belong to him as a man. And to show that we are in earnest in this matter that we practice as well as preach that we execute as well as resolve and to show, moreover, that prejudice is likely to prove a costly antipathy to its possessor I subjoin the following letter, which was put into the hands of Capt. Davis of the steam-boat Philadelphia, (People's Line,) plying between Philadelphia and Bristol, and which carries its own explanation with it. Philadelphia, May 5, 1831. To Capt.

Lewis Davis St. Boat Philud. The undersigned, delegates to the American Anti-Slavery Society, iulurm you that owing to the impieuion ol your triendlv disposition to the colored people, they were induced to patronise jour boat. They humbly hope that you may coutiuue to every individual the attentions which moral respectability ought always to receive, without regard to the tinge ot complexion. EDWIN 1'.

All the above- named gentlemen were desirous, on account of the urgency of their visit to New-York, logo by the Rail Road Line, via Bordentowu and Amboy but they chose to lake a circuitous route, and a slower conveyance, in order to express their approbation of a boat in which she color of the skin did not decide the kind of treatment to be shown to passengers. An esteemed female member of the Society of Friends, came in their company for a similar reason. Thus, prejudice cost one boat twenty-seven dollars, by putting that amount into the pocket of its more liberal rival. Let this example be extensively imitated by anti-slavery men, and every barrier of caste will soon be overthrown. ICTTbe account of the recent disturbance ia Middletown, Ct.

We have bad the unspeakable satisfaction of receiving a I filer ami circular from this determined and veteran champion of liberty, the former dated at Suiiihficl Kevtucky, 5 mo. 26th, 1834, and the latter at isbville, Tennessee, mo. 9lh.

It is pretty known that he went some time since ou a tour to Hexico. He is about to return to that country the object of his vii.it is, to make some arrangements, in connexion with oilicrs, to test the superiority of free lnbor in produ-uig sugar, cottn, and rice iu thai country. Durin'tm first visit, be was long detained by the cholera a I oilier impediments; he travelled several hundred milt, on foot and aloae, in the Texas country; he returned to the western country uivou some business, tx-foie lie could finish his arraugemcuts but It-ant that be has every prosperl of success, and that be is go tug back with that view, He expects tv be at home this summer or fall. Frost his interesting circular, which, as a whole, is not written for the public eye, we venture to make the following slirnug and truly characteristic extract I cannot willingly close this communication, without adverting more particularly lo iht recent Boble efforts of toe friends of our cause in the United States. A fler the long struggle which I have personally experienced while, lor a time, the whole moral hemisphere presented a perfectly rayless gloom while the ftics of our cause werv bold and outrageous, and its friends, more timid than the stricken deer 'w hile the voices of those wvre louder than the roar of the tempest, and the sometimes enrouraging, sometimes dissuasive tones of these were beard in whispers after witnessing a long, dreary, and stormy night of persecution and toil, every moment of hich it was necessary to gward with the most intense care the flickering lamp which I had placed upon the hill of public observation, it gladdens my heart, beyond the power of expression, lo behold the wonderful and extremely favorable change in public sentiment, which has at length taken place.

Thousands are now marshalling under the sacred banner; ini tens of thousands are throwing off the incubus with which they were spell-bound, resolving to cleanse their hands from the foul pollution of despotism, and repent of their wickedness in practising, or even tolerating the heinous sin of oppression, cruelty aud crime. I repeat it, it rejoices my heart beyond measure lo witness ihcse things aud in the fervor of brotherly affection in obedience to the warmest feelings of an overflowing heart 1 say to the noble-minded philanthropists who have so truly embraced our richleous cause Go on, brethren aud valiant coadjutors in the great work of Christian philanthropy! Though the powers of darkness may be leagued against you though hell may rage and vent its spite 'though you may be assailed by the darkest frowns of a corrupt orld, on the one hand, and the scoffs and sneers of ignorance and depravity, on the other though you may for a season be literally overwhelmi-d and borne down bv the surses of popular corruption -ftar not far the issue, nor yet swerve a hairrs-breadthfrom tin I the position you ft art taJcen. wr.en tne vioieure 01 the tornado shall have passed away, and the moral atmosphere is relieved from its- agitation, its vapor and storm, then will you discei that you slill remain unscathed, and that the fiery bolts have fallen harmlessly around rou. Then will you feel your strength renewed; and your confidence in tho justice of our holy cause will animate you to continued labor and perseverance. Hold on, I you, in pleading the cause of the poor, the oppressed, and despised.

Mv heart is with vou: and although I may be indi vidually absent from my poM for a season. I trust that Divine Providence will, ere long, enaMe me to return to the charge, and laVor with you, shoulder to shoulder, until the horrible Rastilc of American slavery shall be prostrated in the dust. I never can abandon the cause until this arm becomes nerveless, and this heart ceases its pulsation. I feel as confidently assured, and as certain, of ultimate success in the total abolition of slavery in America, as I am that the sun will rise to-morrow, or that the heavens and earth exis. provided its ad voeates continue firm, steady, and persevering.

My rallying word, therefore, is and my motto, 4 Fiat Justitia, Ituat LETTER FROM THEODORE D. WEED. Mr. Weld's Letter, hich we have placed upon our first page, is a capital effort of genius, and furnishes a mass of statistics that must put to silence and shame those who have sneered at the embryo the precious the minors and young Sec. of Lane Seminary.

Boston, April 30, 185. Vf.rmost Chronicle. This chronicle of deception and sophistry has seized upon an ejnrcssion in one of Capt. Stuart's earliest protests against the American Colonization Society, admitting that the colony in Liberia might prove serviceable to Africa that there was some good in the scheme, Sec: in order to prove the moral excellence of that unrighteous combination If the Chronicle be ignorant of the fact, it ought to know, and to inform its readers, that Capt. Stuart has since repeatedly, in his essays, expressed his belief that the colony will prove a curse, instead cfa blessing to Africa founded upon a more minute inquiry into the real character and condition of Liberia.

JTJ A spirited discussion was held last week in Concord, N. H. in relation lo the American Anti-Slavery and the American Colonization Societies. The partisans of colonization behaved somewhat unseemly, but the truth was victorious. An Anti-Slavery Society was organized, and a resolution in favor of immediate emancipation adopted unanimously, with a single exception.

Garru-on Knapp Ge.xtlemeu Finding that reports have been widely circulated, un the subject of the which are as hostile to truth, as they are derogatory to the character of WM. W1LBERFORCE, I beg through your paper to expose the falsehood of these reports, and to clear the character of that beloved and lamented friend of man.

The reports to which I allude, are, thnt Wm. WiLBERroRCE signed the 'Protest' respecting the American Colonization Society, under the feebleness of existing illness, of approaching death, and of undue influence. I know that all these allegations are utterly false. William Wil-berforce gave his noble mind to the solemn inquiry, with all his characteristic intelligence and candor. In a state of health rather better than usual, aud yielding to the force of truth, he deliberately signed the Protest in question, in conjunction with some of the oldest and best friends of liberty.

Of the sickness which soon alter suddenly seized him, at that time he had no indications. It came uponliim like a thunderbolt, and hurried him into eternity into the immediate presence of the God whom he had long loved, and whose work of love had long been his delight; and I am assured by some of his best friends, that the recollection of having signed that Protest, and of thereby doing what he could to efface the influence of the error on that subject, into which he had been unwarily led, was one of the sweetest solaces of his departing hours. C. STUART. Boston, June 13, 1S34.

(7" One of tbe earliest, most devoted, and most consistent friends of emancipation, residing in Petersham, wishes to be informed whether the Calico Prints, advertised in our columns, are the product of free labor. We presume they are not. The queries of a correspondent in Harvard shall be given soon.

To one of them, Do you expect your object will be ultimately effected by moral or by physical force we now reply By moral force provided the judgments of heaveu do not speedily fall upon this desperately cruel nation, and provided the slaves continue to endure their wrongs as submissively ns they have hitherto done. Should physical force be resorted to, it will be neither by the advice nor example of abolitionists. Their weapons are only truth and love and their doctrines and efforts are directly calculated to keep the slaves quiet, by holding out to them the hope of a peaceful deliverance. Jemes Dinney's letter to the inflamito-ry printer of that disorganizin paper up in coming from a place 4 way out in is amusingly graphic, and shall certainly obtain an insertion as soon as we get through with the proceedings of the Anti-Slavery Convention. We hope he will tell us 4 the rest on't some other according to his promise.

We understand that it is intended that this testimonial shall be presented to Miss Cran-dall, along with the address voted by the Glasgow Ladies' auxiliary society to the Glasgow Emancipation Society, by George Thompson, Esq. upon his arrival in the United States, and must prove highly gratifying to Miss Crandall, as a testimony of that sympathy which exists in the bosoms of the Females of Glasgow, for her devotedness to the great cause of emancipating her country from the. degrading caste and aristocracy of the skin. Capt. Stuart has also brought some presents for Miss Crandall and her scholars, sent by some of tbe ladies aud children iu Liverpool, Canterbury.
