Administration of Justice.
As a general rule, we do not permit corres
pondonts to reply to and discuss, in our own
journal, tho facts or arguments which we
may havo brought forward in any article or
articles. Were wo to allow this, our time
would be employed and our space occupied,
every now and then, with replies and re
replies, to no purpose. We make an excep
tion to-day, with regard to our article in Tun
PRESS on Saturday, on the Court of Quarter
Sessions, and publish a temperate comment
upon it, written 1437 a person who is well-in
formed on the subject to the consideration of
which he addresses himself:
I For The Proas
Some remarks, made by Judge Thompson, the
other day, in the Court of Quarter Sessions, in re
lation to its business, aro noticed by a communica
tion in your paper of Saturday. Your correspond
ent says little, but asks The Press to make up
his deßoienoy. You have tried, and have made
many excellent suggestions, if they were all pros
tioablo. Lot us see how they stand in this respect,
Let us start at the beginning of a term with tho
prison oases, as you suggest. The witnesses go be
fore the Grand Jury; bills are found; 7ho wit
nestles aro told to be in court next morning; they
appear; the prisoners are in the dock, having been
brought from the county prison ; the trials go on ;
so trout day to day, except occasionally an appli
cation for a continuance is made by a prisoner who
has boon able to secure an attorney. Buslneee goes
on smoothly. By the end of two weeks, or there-
abouts, ,the greater part of the prison .Dance
aro disposed of. Those remaining are continued,
in the manner referred to. The bail oases ore sub
mitted to the Grand Jury and the trouble begins.
Now, I say, most distinctly and emphatically,
for I think my experience juetifics me in doing no,
that no system that human ingenuity can devise
eon be made applicable to the trial of theso mos.
'Why not? you will inquire. The witnesses go be
fore the Grand Jury, and bills are found ; thn wit
nesses are told to be in court the next morning.
Bench-warrants aro put in the hands of the officers
to bring the defendants before the court for trial.
In the morning a return is shade to the court by
the officers, that they have endeavored to bring in
the defendants, by calling on their bail, the resi
dence of the defendant not being returned by the
magistrate--many of them have no fixed residence
to return. In many oases the hail will answer that
they will try and find the defendants when they
have time. When threatened with a suit upon
their recognizance if 'they do not do so promptly,
they reply that not mush will be made out of that,
for they have got no property. Some three or
four, out of a dozen or more, may appear,
but they have not had time to got ready;
they did not know that any Grand Jury would
find a bill on each a charge; ask for time to
employ a lawyer and eubpmea witnesses. Perhaps
ono or two appear with their lawyers. Thom gen.
tlemen any that they have just boon employed, and
ask the court for time to examine into the, cases
Lest it should be considered oppressive, the court
grant these apparently reasonable requests ; con.
tinuanooa are granted to some giyen day. When
this day arrives, what is the Elate of things? The
defendants appear with their counsel; some aro
ready, a greater number are not, although they
bad promised to ha co. They are now prepared
to lay legal grounds—the absence of material wit
neeeee—for it further postponement. This is done,
and thecamas go off to some future day, the Die.
trict Attorney doing everything in his power to
prose the parties to trial. The court is bound to
net with courtesy to the members of the bar, and
to regard rules of law is relation to the trial of
eases. Let It bo borne in mind, that, in nine case
out of ten, parties on bail to answer orimina
charges desire to have their trial put off as long
as possible, and use every moans, legal and other
wise, to ef f ect it. There is judgment in this; de
lay is a great advantage ; witnesses may diEappeart
besides, the longer the delay, the _weaker the
charge becomes. Probably, a few cases may bo
pressed to trial on the first day fixed for defendants
on hail, hut It requires hard work on the part of
the District Attorney to effect it.
Now, this is a fair statement of the difficulties
which the court have to encounter from day to day,
in the trial of these oases. But you say, why
enould not the court lize upon a certain number of
cases for each day in their numerical order? Let
as see how that would work. A list is made cut
for a certain day ; notice is given to the defend
ants or their counsel, if they have any. Thn first
case on the list is milled. Neither defendant nor
counsel appear, ror eon either be found in the
vicinity of the court-room. It will be a fortunate
cirenmetenee if any of the cases on the list be
found reedy. Under this system, it would be well
understood by defendants, that if they only ma
naged to avoid trial on the day fixed, It must go off
Indefinitely, or until the end of the list is reached.
This. of course, they would use every effort to
effect. As I have already said, delay is always to
the advantage of the defendant.
It may be asked, why not keep defendants in
custody, when ()nee in court, until the day fixed
for trial? This cannot bo done, as every offence,
with one or two exceptions, is bailable, and the
Constitution provides that eseeesive bail ehall not
be demanded.
Perhaps it will be suggested that suit should ho
commenced against the sureties of defendants
who do not appear. In a large majority of the
oases, from the insufficiency of the security taken
by the magistrates, this would bo labor lost. In
other cases, the bail is sometimes a near relative
of the defendant, and would not be much alarme
by the slow progress of a civil nation. Indeed,
this would rather be the means than otherwise, of
effecting the delay in the trial which is always co
anxiously desired.
In answer to this, it may be said, the list system
works well in tho civil courts. This may be, bat
is the nature of the business the same in the civil
and criminal courts? Not at all; in the civil
courts, the plaintiffs and defendants aro real per
sons, to gain or lose by their neglect. If a plain
tiff fail to appear, a non-suit is entered. In tho
case of a defendant's non-attendance judgment will
be entered. Hero are vital interests on both eases
to be guarded. In the criminal court it is all on
one side. It is the defendant's interest not to ap
pear at court if ho can avoid it. Ho knows that
no judgment oan bo entered against him, as in the
civil courts, in his absence.
I have thready said no fixed rule con bo adopted
in the trial of criminal oases. I have given the
reasons why. All that can be done is to bring the
defendants to trial as quickly as possible, Fairing
proper regard to keep tho witnesses in attendance
as short a time as possible. This course is regu
larly pursued in our criminal courts. At no time,
within the knowledge of the writer, has it leen
necessary for a defendant to remain over three or
four days, when randy for trial. Some time wit
nesses for the Commonwealth may have boon
obliged to remain in attendance a longer time than
this, but it woe on account of the difficulty in hay
ing the defendants arrested. In the Boxborough
ease, to which you refer, the connect on oithorside,
by application in the proper quarter, might have
had the case tried at any time. The delay is at
tributable to the parties, and in no way to tho
court or the District Attorney. So of the indict
ment found on the 21st August.
Your strictures with regard to the conduct of
members of the bar crowding within the space set
apart for the District Attorney, and holding pri
vate conversation with him and with the judge,
are by no moans ill-timed ; but is not the blame in
a great measure to be attributed to the members of
the bar who do such things, and not to the court
and District Attorney? Should the court make a rale
to prevent every member of the bar from making
any suggestion unlace publicly, I know more than
ono who would consider It not only unnecessary but
arbitrary. Their own sense of propriety ought to
prevent such intercourse with the court occurring
as seldom as possible.
In conclusion, it may be asked why should men
who commit crime, or their friends, either complain
if they have to attend court longer than may suit
their convenience? It is the result of the alleged
criminal's conduct. Had he behaved himself like
a good citizen, his friends would have been sub
jected to no such inconvenience. There aro some
thing like throe hundred defendants tried every
two months in our oriminal court, and I unhosito•
tingly repeat that no one defendant may remain in
attendance if he desires a trial over three or four
days, although his recognizance requires that ho
be in attendance two months, the entire term of
the court. B.
We make no editorial comment upon it, ex
cept to say that our correspondent, while be
regrets and explains, does not deny the truth of
our statements. He touches, very plainly,
upon the Aldermanic malpractice of accepting
"straw bail" for persons accused of offences
against the law, and ,4o does not suggest any
means of preventing or punishing this. It
seems easy enough to do either or both. In
the first place, the Aidermanic office ought to
be abolished, at once a ♦ nd for ever : With few
exceptions, the persons occupying it neither
possess nor deserve the confidence and regard
of tho public. For the most part, they aro
ignorant of tho law, and have to depend upon
the advice of their clerks whenever any but
the most ordinary routine question comes be-
fore them. In place of the Alderman, we
should have half as many local magistrates,
respectably paid and appointed, without re
ference to party, from the ranks of the legal
pronssion. In the next place, if the Alder
manic plague be continued, care should be
taken to put down the nuisance of "straw
ball," and there should be a public officer ap
pointed whose main duty would be to examine
into the solvency of the persons' who offer
themselves as bail. It is well know❑ that
there are many persons in this city, who, for a
con-si-de-ra-tion, will become bail to any
amount, perjuring themselves in doing this, by
swearing they are worth thousands of dollars,
when they do not possess so many cents.
Aldermen who know the character and inade-
quacy of this "straw bail," and yet take it
ought to be prosecuted and sent to the peni
tentiary. •
There need not be the slightest difficulty,
wo assure our correspondent, in procuring the
attendance in Court, at any appointed time,
of accused persons who are out upon bail. In
England, the process is extremely simple.,
" Straw bail" is there imitiown, and no bail is
taken, until ratietactory proof be given that
the person so offering himself is worth double
the amount named in the bail-bond. Tho bail
aro bound, by that bond, to produaffthe
sed at a certain time—say, the holding of the
Sosaiens—and he is accordingly surrendered
to the very minute, the Court usually, at re
quest, sr:lle:wing him at large, day by day,
until tried, his special bail continuing respon
sible until bis final surrender. In criminal
cases, in fact, the accused is supposed by the
law to be in custody of his bail, instead of in
jail. If the accused be not surrendered by his
bail at the appointed time, a process like our
dislringas is issued at once, and the whole pe
nalty of the bail-bond is immediately leviable
7 —aye,_and invariably levied—upon the pro
perty of the bailsmen. Here, as our corre
spondent states, the chances are three to one
that the bail doos not possess property to be
recovered on, and, at any events, there is the
delay of,a civil stilt to recover it. In Eng
land, on the,other hand, if the bail should fail
to produce the accused, his property is at
once attached. The qualifications of a bails
man are much the same in England and this
country: he must be a freeholder or house
keeper; liable to the process of the Court;
capable of entering into a contract; able to
pay the amount for which lie becomes respon
sible. Persons, possessing these qualifica
tions, who become bail, would take good care
to have their man "to the fore," at the very
moment he ought to be produced, if
_they '
knew that there was a certainty of their
promptly suffering in purse if they did not pro
duce him in person.
WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE

WARRINGTON, Oct. 21.1, 1660
Col. James L. Orr, of South Carolina, you will
remember, mot with woful disoomfituro in tho
correspondence which ho elicited . from the MO
rablo Amos Kendall, who inThrs day was one of the
fast friends and wise cotnisollors of Andrew Jack
son. Not at ell abasbqd; lie has worked himself
into a paroxysm of Secession frenzy. In speech
and letter he blazes forth like a human volcano,
belching Oro and smoke at every breath. I have
been coating about in my own mind for some good
reason r,htoh would account for the position, not
only of Col. Orr, but of Nowell Cobb, Secretary
of the Treasury, and coma others who came into
the great arena of Federal politics under the
broad banner of the Union. Perhaps the eager
ness Of prominent politicians in Georgia, South
Carolina, and Alabama, to secure coats from those
States in the United States Senate, may furnish
the true explanation
Tho Logisle.turo of South Carolina, which will
meet during next month, is composed of men who
rode into power upon the top wave of the Seoassion
flood, which has swept that State through all its
borders, And It is not to be expooted that it will
elect any but the most ultra merabors of the Dieu.
nice echoed. Senator Hammond, whonew holds the
seat, is outbid by the extrema doctrine of Cover
nor G ist, who has issued a proclamation squinting
towards secloseion in the event of Mr. Lincoln's
eication ; and ho, in his turn, is outbid by other fiery
a . 4 tits, but most of all by Colonel Orr. He is anx
loud to return to public life, and to do so, not low
ering the dignity of the offices ho has already hold,
ho has looked longingly for a long while ton seat
in the Amorionn Senate. If ho does not succeed
now ho will have to wait for years; and, not to
leave a stone unturned, ho has launched out the
most ardent of all fire-eaters in order to smutoh
over his previous Union record.
A like condition of things exists in Alabama and
Georgia. Tho 13reekinridgers in Alabama make a
fight not alone for President and the Vice Presi
dent, but with an eye to the main ahem's> they wish
to secure—the Senator and the State organization.
They struggle hard to that end. It Is well known
that the Senatorship is a position to which the
towering ambition of Mr. Yancey has unwavering
ly aspired. Howell Cobb, cooing the last hours of
his Cabinet appointment about to expire, falls back
upon Georgia, and with a desperate exertion strives
to keep his head above water, and to prevent his
jumping into dark night and endless oblivion•
In his desire to secure a six years' place as Senator,
whore ho may bo able to retrieve his name from
the wrongs and blunders of the present Adminis•
tration, he ignores the conservatism, the modera
tion, and the patriotism for which ho was known
as Speaker of the Reuse of Representatives;
and as a loader of the Union Democracy from
his own section, ho disowns the glorious vic
tory he achieved in 1850, when he bore down
upon the Disunioniets with the resistless power
of truth and justice, and swept them into
the dust; and antagonizing Ilan. Alex. If. Ste
phens, who then Bo eloquently battled for his elec•
lion to the Gribcirnatorial chair, as ho now battles
for Stephen A. Douglas for the Presidency, upon
the same platform, he strikes hands with the mon
ho then denounced, and hugs to his bosom the
Monster of Secession, which ho then declared how
mush ho abhorred and detested. Major Breekin
ridge is safe in any event, for the moment he va
cates the Vico President's ahair ho takes his seat for
six years as 'Senator from Kentucky. Not so with
Col. Orr and Secretary Cobb. They have assumed
such strong disunion ground that, if they are now
defeated in their hopes of political success, it is
next to impossible they will over again be heard
of in the first rank of Federal politics. It is too
monstrous to believe, that such men, fearful of the
neglect which hereafter awaits them, rush head
long into the project of a Southern Confederacy,
where they may have some hope of preferment.
I notice that many journals are discussing th e
power and propriety of coercing any State that
attempts to secede from the Union because of the
election of Mr. Lincoln by the electoral college, in
oompliance with the demands of the Constitution.
As pertinent to that point, and also as affording
some exploration of the recent moderate speeches
made by Mr. Yancey in the North, I reproduce
the following short article from the National Ls•
telligen cer :
"As some surprise has been expressed in certain
quarters at the conservative language generally
hold by the Hon. William L. Yancey, of Alabama,
when called, during his tour through the North,
to answer certain interrogatories touching the con-
Sequences of Lincoln's election—should that event
take place—Tao doom it onlyjust to stato that this
moderation has not boon affected by the distin
guished speaker, but represents the deliberate
convictions of his better judgment. Moro than
two years ago, as a member of the Southern Con
vention which assembled at Montgomery, Ala
bama, in the month of May, ho distinctly com
mitted himself against the policy of staking the
stability of the Union on the loss of a Presidential
eleotion, than which, ho unequivocally said, 'No
more inferior Issue could be presented to the
South.' To this effect he spoke, on that occasion,
as follows :
.1 say it, with all deference to my colleagues,
that no more inferior issue could be tendered to
the South, upon which we should dissolve the
Union, than the loss of en election. If in the con
test of 1800 for the Presidency Mr. Seward should
receive the legal number of votes necessary to
elect him according to tho forms of the Constitu
tion and the law, gentlemen say that then will be
the time to dissolve the Union. If that is to be
made tho cause of disunion, I any to them I will
go with them, but I fool that I am going in the
wake of an Inferior inane—that there was a ban.
ner over mo that is not of the hind I would wish.
When lam asked to raise the flag of revolution
against the Constitution I am asked to do a,, an
co Mild litional thing, according to the Constitution
as it now exists. lam asked to put myself in the
position of a rebel, of a traitor—in a position
where, it the Govornmont should succeed and put
me down in the revolution, I and my friends can
be arraigned before the Supreme Court of the
United States, which would bo the creature of Mr.
Seward, as he has given notice in the Senate, and
there sentenced to be hanged for vtaating the
Constitution and laws of my country. And if I
should be asked why sentence should not bo passed
on me, I could not t non, ne I can now, in reference
to past issues, I could not say then even to the
.bloody judges who would sit upon the bench, ray
hands are guiltless of wrong against the Conatitu.
tion of my country, and I appeal to an enlightened
posterity, to the judgment of tho world, to vindi
ante my name and moniory, when, as Emmettsaid,
my country shall have taken her place once more
an equal among the nations of the earth."
The visit of the .Princo of Wales to the White
House co cached the inordinate ambition and self
love of the President, that he seized upon tho idea
of gratifying' his own feelings and rendering his
name immortal, by devising a tableau at Mount
Vernon, in whisk himself and the heir to the Bri
tish Crown should reprdent the two moat imposing
figures in that ceremonial visit to the tomb of
Washington. Accordingly on his trip to that con
' secreted spot, accompanied by the Prince of Wales
' and his mite, a skilful artist, at the commend of
the President, had private directions to meet Mr.
Buohanan and the royal party at the tomb. Tho
attitude of the Prince, leaning on the arm of the
old public functionary, with all the suite of the
Prince present, standing uncovered at the tomb of
Washington, has been faithfully sketched by the
artist,; and I understand that no oost will be spared
to render this ono of the groat historical paintings
of tho ago. Mr. Buchanan, although much do.
pressed in mind by the gonoral infamy which his
Administration has acquirod, found in the Prince's
visit a rays method of feeding his otvn vanity, and

said that he would rather have it asked by the
people why statues were not raised to his boner
and memory than why they wore so raised. But
ho was a censorious old man, and foolish enough
to love justice, and prefer death to the lose of honor
or liberty. Air. Buchanan's mind is ensue no
such antique mould. The thirty tyrants set up
statues of themselves after they had overthrown
the liberty of Athens, but we all recollect the fate
of the oligarchs and their statues. Every cause
produces a certain effect, and the natural law
which governs such things is seldom suspended for
any groat length of time, and is never entirely re
voked. There is much philosophy in this thought.
OCCASIONAL.
The Anti-Slavery Convention at Ken
nett Square.
Further Proceedinga—Second Day
EXPLANATION OF LIMAN CROZIER.
ROBERT PURVIS AGAIN ON THE FLOOR
tOlll. rioport.n.
Reply to S.
EEMZI
Tho report of the first day's proceedings of the
Anti-slavery Convention at Kennett Square, was
necessarily mutilated in Saturday's edition, conse
quent upon the deranged condition of our compo
sing room, incident to a removal. Tho extracts
from the annual report of the Abolition Committee
were very copious, and many of them comparative.
ly unimportant. Many addresses were of no pas
sible interest to readers, and the whole transcript
of tho proceedings, as we reported them, would
have otgressed on entire page of the newspaper.
Our foreman, therefore, judiciously adapted the
eupply of copy to the limited amount of apace, and
placed before the public those portions of the re
port most interesting and exeiting. Wo wore not
surprised to see, in the Sunday Despatch of yes
terday, a remonstrance from the Secretary of the
Anti-slavery Society, which we give in another
column
=II
We frankly noknowledgo that Mr. McKim and
his coadjutors rendered us cervices of an impor
tant chamfer. We can speak only in terms of
respect and gratitude of the kindness of the most
radical Abolitionist. We must plao state that,
perseemlly, even Mr. Purvis was genial and sub•
ducd ; that the Indies of the Convention wore de
corous in every particular, and that more than
ordinary real - mot attended us during the entire pe
riod of oar vast to Kennett. As an Individual, we
thus Winch for the entire anti-slavery corps, but,
as a reporter, we disown our individual capacity
and guide our ohronicle by the policy of The Press,
and an impartiality which knows no friendship but
the public regard. Mr. McKim has admitted that
wo " meant no harm to the Anti-slavery Society or
any of its members." this remark needs no veri
fication from us. We made, come time ago, a plea
for the colored people of Philadelphia, and the
party who tolerates for a moment the idea that any
private prejudice of ours hos been need to influence
these columns does not merit a momentary notice.
But we have " distorted filets in order to carve cer
tain purposes inconsistent with truth." To this
we reply that we have neither extenuated nor set
down aught in malice. It is true that Mr. Purvis
requested us to ooften his remarks, which we had
no more right to do, in our public capacity, than
to withhold, at the riymest of any criminal, his
name and misdemeanor. Happily, for our justifi
cation, previous anniversaries of the Anti-slavery
Society, with the published reports of which we
had nothing to do, have witnessed scenes equally
disgraceful, and chronicled sentiments equally pro
fane. The gentleman most aggrieved (Mr. Pur
vis) is already notorious as the author of the re
mark that John Brown woe the Jesus Christ of
the nineteenth century," and if he does not deny
the following facts, we leave it to the public judg
ment that our report of Saturday woo not a whit
exaggerated •
1. He atated that Jefferson was a slaveholder,
and, therefore, a man-stealer and thief, who had
sold into bondage his own daughter.
2. That Washington, It was alleged, had shot
ono of his slaves in a moment of passion, and that,
as a slaveholder, he was to be ranked in the same
category with Mr. Jefferson. [A part of this re
mark was made to a knot of listeners at the door.]
3. He stated that, as all the patriot forefathers
had, in the face of the Declaration, placed their
heels upon the neoksof thousands of human being!,
they were not to ha canonized—rather to be held in
aborrence
4. In the discussion of the John Brown resolu
tion ho said that it was bettor that 700,000 slave
holders should die than that 4,000,000 blacks
should bo dying all the time.
5. In common with most speakers, ho de
nounced the Constitution, and said, in the language
of Garrison, " down with it "
We trill not prolong those reminiscences. Mr.
McKim cannot deny their authenticity. To sub
stantiate them further, we offer the following card
from our associate.
=II
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 28.
I accompanied Mr. Townsend. of The Press, to Ken
net Square, and was an interested witness of 'the Pro
ceedings. His report in The Press of Saturday was sub
stantially accurate. The remarks of Mr. Purvis were as
he had stated them; the incidents in the rear of the hall
are narrated with a graphic truthfulness, and, SO far
from exaggerating the sentiments and scenes, he has
rather extenuated their radicalism and grossness. I
have also rend the report which he will publish to mor
row, and certify to its correctness.
HENRY It. EllAltlttll , ...
22 Catharine street.
Our ilippanoies at the commencement of the re
port of Saturday convey no disrespeat to the citi
zens of Kennett, and its town hall. No mind of
any ordinary calibre will thus regard it. Mr.
McKim's statement, that we had cautioned him to
lisped a'• flash heading," etc., only establishes
the probity and frankness of our eonduat. Ile has
not been disappointed, and we have been ends
tent. We insert a part of the second day's pro
ceedings, as a oontinuation of our report of Satur
day. It only remains to say that, for any oppro
brium which may rest upon Mr. Purvis or the anti
slavery movement, he and it are responsible, since
we have merely chronicled the sayings and doings
of the Convention. In the " vintiteation of the
Abolitionists," which is to come, "in the slow an
certain march of truth," our " wanton reckless
ness" may be remembered; but if that vindica
tion is to be made by libelling the forefathers, and
trampling upon the Constitution, let us be with
the libelled and the trampled, rather than the yin
(Heated. The public, will decide 'whether Tll6
Pres 3 or the Haste-Slarery Standard can afford to
be most faithful in its report.
14011N11/0 SESSION-SECOND DAY
The session opened with an abstract of the pro
°ceilings of the first day by the secretary, J. Mil
ler McKim.
Miss Grew rend the resolutions of the previous
day. The attendance was comparatively small, a
promisouous sprinkling of oolorod men occupying
the seats.. Miss Dickinson, President Mott, Ro
bert Purvis, and the Teat of the agitators were pre
sent. Mr. 'lliratu Crozier dtd not make his at.
pearance for some time. The feeling against this
gentleman oppoared to be very strong on the part
of most delegates. They expressed themselves,
however, as gratified that Crozier had openly
avowed himself rather than remain a Herd enemy.
Oliver Johnson. Esq., editor of the Anti-Slavery
Standard, made rome remarks. Too much tune
in the meetings had been devoted to discussion.
Practical matters relative to "the work" should
be adverted to at greater length. The speaker
then made an appeal for the Anti-Slavery Stand
ard. The press was the only ()fleetly° lover of re•
form. The Junior Antt-Slavery Society had taken
regularly three hundred copies. Tho Standard
now circulated 3,600 copies. Capital was needed.
Ten thousand dollars devote I to the paper during
the ensuing year would help it very much. The
Now York independent was referred to as in a
most prosperous condition, mainly Owing to the
efforts of 'Theodore Tilton. The speaker assorted
that his branch of the Abolition party was not
leagued with infidelity, and stated that the Stand
ard was the medium by which the true position of
,‘ the cause " should be proclaimed. Dr. Cheever
was referred to as maligned by the Inde
pendent ; the Standard was the only pap er
which gave him a defence. 110 should learn

that his antagonism to the - Garrison Move
ment was unmerited. Dr. Chewer •had said, in
England, that the true Abolitionists in America
wore heretics. Ile and George Thompson were at
present stumphig England for the Abolition onstait.
The suceeias of the Republican party was going to
do a good work for Abotitionism ; he blessed God
for this. lie urged no compromise. The highest
form of purity should be held up to the people,
and this was tho mission of the cause. It would
ultimately triumph The fidelity of the Abolition
ist was the formation of the Republican movement.
If the former ceased their efforts, the latter party
could not be perpetuated.
Mrs. Lucretia Mott said that she had copies of
the Liberator and the Standard for simulation
among the audience. She referred, in a caustic'
manner, to Mr. Johnson's boast, that Abolitionists
were orthodox in Christianity, and tie Inferred
from her remarks that-sho wished to claim for the
ounce a liberal "or independent persuasion.
A letter was read from Maria W. Chapman, who
was refreshed to hear that the cause was receiving
accessions, and hoped that the Standard would be
circulated, and wondered that it did not have a
circulation of ono hundred thonsand copies. ,She
proposed a number of new featurea for its columns.

Robert Purvin begged leave to say some words
of en apologetic character. He bad not the design

years, and refloat upon them as "Abolitionists"
who simply called out " disunion " Ho had also

whites, and said that .the two races could never
live in equality. He wished to say to Lincoln and
Grceloy that every roan was marked, and Abe
Lincoln was the ugliest man in the country.
[Laugh tot.]
Mr. Lincoln eras willing to deprive the black of
the panoply of manhood, mat favored the fugitive -
slave law. It Von "a lip," that the blank man
was inferior to tho white, and unjust to the Deity
to say so. The bleok man would eventually have
hisca rights, and the people would bo forced to re

Mr. Crosier continued : Thera were grades in
all moral movements. llion'a moral and social an
tecedents could not be chopped off like a skein of
threads ; each thread had a bearing in the skein.
The Constitution was the greatest chart of liberty
on the earth. and mon who worked on that grade
were not to he denounced because they did not
labor on the same grade with more radical Aboli
tionists. Suppose the Government was dissolved,
would a single slave be manumitted? You only
leave the slaves in the bands of what you call
pirates. who number 7,000,000 to take care of nearly
4,000,000 slaves. England was the greatest fili
bustering Government in the world, and she would
at once strike colors with the South and guaranty
slavery to it. There was not a slaveholcler that
was not the erring brother of the Abolitionist.
Was it a duty to denounce them end cast them off?
Wo had the cotton on our backs and had grown
rich by the slavery of the South. It was impossi
ble to be just and say to the South, "we have
grown rich through you—now we will cast you off."
Wo have to help the South out of their evils and
should stand a. toy on every man, woman, and
child that is emancipated. If such wore putting it
premium on rascality, we were of the moats, and
for God's sake, if the partnership was dissolved,
let there be honesty among the thieves. (Ap

Mr. Darlington objected to long personalities.
Mlt. DERNAUD SAYS " DOWN WITH TDE CONSTITU
Eusebius Bernard said that there was no mate.
fiat difference between the sentiments of the con
tending parties. Lloyd Garrison has said " down
with the Constitution ;" the speaker repeated the
sentiment, and said " down with it "—or its pre
sent construe:lion. Don't give the South an item
more than the bond allows them. He hoped that
the young and rising generation would be in.
struoted in anti-slavery principles.
In the Republican party thorn were ingredients
that would not amalgamate. The Abolition ele
ment should, for the present, assist the Republi
cans. Mr Bernard continued in a mingled tem
perate and violent strain to condemn and com
mend Republicanism.
Edward H. Davis advocated the collection of a
fund to forward anti-slavery sontimonts. He had
rather have the prayers of the people than their
money ; the ono came, however, with the other.
The speaker was astonished to find that a man in
the community had not read Helper—a very cu
rious fact. The example of Lucretia Mott in sir
oulating her anti slavery papers was enough to
call the blush of shame to the cheeks of most Abo
litionists.
Mrs. Mott wanted all to noruse the speech of
John liossaok, delivered at Chicago, on a fugitive
slave ease. It was to ho printed, as it was excel
lent and useful.
Mr Coates bed loft an anti-slavery tract at every
house in eighteen miles, on several occasions. A
email boy lately came to bim for John Wesley's
anti-slavery views, which was very gratifying, and
away down in jersey there was a whole community
destitute of anti-slavery tracts. Mr. Coates eon
tinned at length.
We have no room for his remarks.
The president made some remarks in explanation
of the statement that Anna 11 Dickinson would be
prepared to lecture on woman's rights and anti
slavery.
Adjourned until 13- o'clock.
AFTERNOON SESSLO
The resolution pertaining to John Brown woe
taken up.
Mr. MoKim stud that in the sentiments expressed
by the committee there was no intention to exalt
John Brown. rdheir object was to hold the balance
oven between him and his enemies. It wee to in
sist that John Brown should net be condemned for
reasons essentially the same as those whf oh are
given for eulogising other horses. Mr. McKim
did not advocate the use of force in this enterprise ;
on the tontrary, he NSFIS opposed to all resort to
physical violence. We Abolitionists condemned
the policy of hostilo incursions into the slave
States. Wo wore the only people who had a right
to condemn this MAO of notion. Bat Americans
generally, nod these opponents of John Brown in
particular, wore condemned out of their own
mouths. The doctrine of this country is, «Ro•

The Labia Attorney then offered the tally list in evi
dence.
'this was objected to. The best evidence was to pro
duce the original papers or returns ; thin tatty list was
but the result of an addition of these returns.
The paper was admitted to !how that the spurious re
turn went into that list and was counted. The vote in
the Fourth ward stood as there added up with the false

ternoon; he offered me no money to do it; he held out

down until Mr. Lehman rains and put his seal on them

say anything about cormenling it from Mr. Moore; there
was no holding up of fingers to indicate any amount;

struck with the circumstance that Mr. Byerly verified
