On motion of Mr. MoKim, a committee to prepare

ing persons were'named to form the committee: j.
Miller MclClm, Mary Grew, Aaron M. Powell, Lu
-cretia Mott, Robert Purvis, Olivet Johnson, John
T. Sargent, Sarah Pugh, Theodore Tilton, Parker
Pillsbury, Alfred H. Love, Samuel May. Jr. .
An appropriate prayer was offered by Rev. Samuel
J, May, of Syracuse, K.Y.
Mr, William Lloyd Garrison delivered a brief ad
dress. Be believed that this would be the last de
cade of the existence of the Society; that ere another
ten ydars, slavery would have disappeared. The
labors of the Society are growing to a close, so far
as slavery is conoerned : for the great question was
Slow do longer discussed with wordß, but the issue
Was being deoided in the field and at the cannon's
Snouth. But, although the labor is drawing to a
dose, the Abolitionists have a wide field for the
exercise of philanthropy among the freedmen who
Will have been relieved from the bondage under
Whioh they have suffered; but who will need all the
aid, advice,-support, and encouragement that the
philanthropist can bestow upon them.
Mr. Wright submitted a resolution recommending
A general petitioning for an amendment to the Con
stitution of the United Statei prohibiting, slavery
forever. The resolution was received with ap
plause. Referred to the Business Committee.
Mrs. Foster moved that Dr. Brooke, of Ohio,
Uhould be placed upon the .Business Committee, iu
the place of Parker Pittsburg, who was absent,
Garrled. . -
Rev. Dr. Furness'then made an address. He was
.toot a formal member of the American Anti-slavery
Society, but he belonged to an [Abolition society
known as the Christian Church. [Applause.] He
then read the declaration of / sentiment which was
adopted. and published by the Society at the time of
its organization, thirty years ago.
Mr, Furness .said that if the sentiments expressed
In this document had been, generally responded to
thirty yeais ago, as .the firing upon Fort Sumpter
was in 18GI, slavery would long Bince have disap
peared. There was no use of lamenting over the
past, He was of opinion that the labors or the Ame
rican Anti-Slavery Society had prepared the public
mind for the great revolution that is now in pro-'
gress. The Abolitionists had uttered these senti
ments thirty yesrs ago, without reflecting that they
might by that act fire the Southern heart. The slave
holders had fired the Southern heart, without taking
into consideration the tremendous firing of the
Northern heart that had been the result. The heart
of both sections had'been fired, with this difference,
that the Northern heart was fired from heaven,
while the Southern heart had been fired from the
Other place. [Applause.]
Mr. Garrison followed. He alluded to the lan
guage and sentiments-of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, and claimed that our national troubles
sprew out of the fact that our fathers did not adhere
to the principles of the Declaration; but that they
Weakly made a compromise with sin.
The American Anti-Slavery Sooiety, upon the
Other h&Dd, had been true - to its sentiments, and
notwithstanding the odium they had endured, they
kad' Clung&to and advocated their principles until
they had become almost universal. The speaker
continued at considerable length to speak in vindi
cation of the principles advanced in the paper just
read. These principles have since been vindicated
by-the judgment of the world. Mr. Garrison spoke
eloquently of. the trials which the friends of the anti
slavery cause had endured; but. with God's help, a
mighty work had been performed. This sucaess was
because of their advooaoy of the truth; God’s hand
Was in it 3 the right must prosper in the end.
The speaker praised, in strong terms, the conduct
of the freedmen who have come out of bondage
during a oolossal civil war, and yet they have never
lost their manhood, or an act to cause
pain or shame to tbeir friends. Their conduct had
practically refuted the slanders heaped upon Aboli
tionists. In referring to the complaint of the agita
tion of the slavery question, he would only say that
if Congress would at its next session abolish slave
ry, he would pledge himself that there should be no
more anti-slavery agitation. [Laughter and cheers.]
The meeting then %djouined.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The afternoon session began at 3 o’clock, and was
called to order by Mr. G-arrlzon, who made some
fitting remarks on the subject of the peculiarities of
among, those who were sold on the auction
block in the Southern States. He exhibited a carte
de visite of a child nearly white, who had been sold
into slavery, and who had visited him at Boston.
Mr. J. Miller MoKim, being oalied upon by Mr.
Garrison, to narrate some of the reminiscences con
nected with the origin and growth of the Society,
came forward and delivered some very interesting
remarks. The introductory portion of his speech'
Was taKih tJi) by a review of his own experience
relative to the dissemination of anti-slavery prin
ciples. The-history of one Abolitionist, however
humble he might be, even if it be for a single day,
was to that extent a history of every other Abo
litionist &Dd a history of the oause. About the
,Vear» 1830-3 a religious excitement overspread the
country, and upon its'subsiding the attention of
enlightened,people who had taken an interest in
the recent revival of religious feeling began to take
another turn. They had made sufficient progress
In the Divine light to learn that great cardinal
principle, “ Let no man seek his own but every
man his neighbor’s weal.” At this period, the
speaker received an intimation there was to
be a National Anti-slavery Convention held in Phi
ladelphia for the purpose of forming a National
Anti-Blaveiy Society. Through the solicitation of
friends the speaker was Induced to attend the Con
vention he a delegate and was supplied with cre
dentials. The Convention was confined to the de
legates (some Bixty or seventy in number) and a
few invited spectators. It was not a secret meet
ing, though no general advertisement of it had
been made. Though apparently small in numbers
for a National Convention, yet in comparison with
the number of Abolitionists then in the' country
the delegates formed a very goodly representation.
The remainder of the speaker’s remarks were di
rected to a narrative of the doings of the Conven
tion, the speeches of eminent anti-slavery repre
sentatives in attendance there, and interestlngjncl
denta connected therewith.
At the request of Mr. Garrison, the signers of the
Declaration of Sentiments of 1833 arose in their
places, in order that the number of those present
might be'ascertained. The chairman then stated
Shat originally there were sixty three signers, of
Whom two-thirds were now living, and eleven were
present in the Hall,
Ducretia Mott, in reply to the remarks or a pre
vious speaker, stated that, although the women of
the oause had not been recognized in the signing of
the Declaration, yet every kindness was shown to
them on that occasion. ;At that time the doctrine
of woman’s rights received no encouragement, but
it was left lor time to develop the influence of
woman, and her status in the anti-slavery cause.
Mary Grew was then introduced, and addressed
■the audience. The following 1b a brief summary of
■her address? Previous to the organization of the
American Anti-slavery Society, two female anti
slavery sooietiefl had been organized in Massachu
setts, Similar associations soon started, and the
women of the cause quiokly distinguished them
selves by their enthusiastic/devotion. Tli9 Boston
Female Anti* Slavery Society, in many instances
connected with their career, had vindicated the
great moral principle of the liberty of speech. Muoh
good had accrued to the cause from the series of
annual fairs held in Boston and Philadelphia. These
fairs had been held under-the most trying circum
stances. ? The Philadelphia Anti-Slavery Society
had preserved its organization distinct, and now
awaited, with its coadjutors, the hour when would
be heard the shout of final victory. The speaker
concluded amid much applause. •
Mr. Samuel J. May, of Syracuse, N. Y., was
called upon and made a few. remarks. • ■
The Society then adjourned till this morning, at
ten o’clock.
The following letters, addresfled to Mr. Garrison,
Were read during the meeting:
. FROM TitfJf. SAMUEL FESSENDEN.
MyEver-dbar Feijjnd: It was with vexy great plea
sure that 1 iecaived your kind notice of me. of the 12th
of November. You do me butjustice in believing that:
I entertain the same views as I ever did in regard to;
that dreadful curee, the system of Southern slavery, as
it has exit-ted and been practised In the great bout hern
section of our country, andrwhich. we are combat
ing in the present war. That system* i? my judgment,
most entirely embodies the crueity of Moloch, the bes
tiality of Belial, and the avarice of Mammon; and while
With you and others, I entertain the same views as to
Its enormity, I entertain the hqpe, and I believe I may
now bet the expectation,’ that God is about to bring
this dreadful enormity—a sin, which next to the cruoi-
Axion of the Saviour, I esteem the:most heinous ever
committed by any of the Iranian race—to a speedy and
almost say that I retrret that the infirmity or
eiEhty years' pilgrims goon eartu has made me up able
to attend the'comiDgmeotineuf,the Anti-Slavery Socie
ty, hut I amalinost totally blind* and it might well be
supposed, that tiembltngdn the extreme verge of four
score years, I perceive myself, that the and _fa -
cultleß ofmy mind, such as they were have so far failed
as to render ice incapable of doing any more for the
benefit of the cause which you have so ably advocated—
that of the total abolition'of slavery In our country.
I sballxot piobably liveto see the total destruction 01.
this accursed system, but feel assured that It nrast soon

Boston, Dec 1, 1863.
My Dear Sir : I shall not he able to take part in the
proceedings to which you kindly invite me; hut, where
everlmay he, I shall unite in your thanksgivings that
God has alieady allowed bo mnch of thegood work to ha
accomplished, and, by visible assurances, enabled us to
see clearly that slavery will eoon be at an end.
It Is sad to think that this infinite good is reached only
through the fiery -pcoces&es of wav—so contrary to all
vour xlesiiea aod to all mine. Bat we have not been
choosers. The alternative has not been ours. To save
the republic— to save civilization—to save our homes
from degradation—to save ourselves trom paittcipation
in unutterable crime and baseness, Hhas been neaessarv
to rally the countryugainst a rebellion, whose j tingle
-object is the eu-altahon of slavery. k. O / I^' ol * l n,-!
tory waß there a war so necessary and just as that
Which we are compelled to wage,; and never before was
there a wav which promised' each transcendent results.
Itia only wlit-n the rebellion is seen in Us trae light,
as slavery in orms reeking dominion.ana
at home and abroad, that we can find the true measure
of onr duties. Of course, every concession to the rebel
lion—all parley with U—is a voluntary assumption ot its
and your aafteciates have stood firm .for. many
years. Such Pious fidelity mußt have its reward in an
approving conscjenve; hut it cannot bo forgotten here
after on eurth or In Heaven. . : 7 -
And mav Cod continue to bless the good cause, and to
bless you, who nave labored so nobly! - •

• My Dear Irifkd: I have received tliy hind letter,
withlheBccim.piti>yi£gcircalar. Inviting me to attend
tlie commeiQorhtloa of the thirtieth amiversary of the
formation of the American Anti-Slavery Sjciety at
Philadelphia. It is "With the deepen regret that I am
compelled, hy ihe feeble state of my health. to give up
all hope of meeting thee ..and iny other old and dear
friends on an occasion of so much interest. H jw much
5t costs me to acQuietce in the haru necessity, thy own
feelings will ttil thee better than any words of mine.
I look back over thirty years and call to mind all the
clrcvim9tBi.ee- of m’y journey to Philadelphia, in com
pany wikhibjtalf and the excellent Dr. Thurston, of
Maine, even tom, as we thought, an old mao, bat still
living, and ti uo as ever to the good _Cime. I recall
the early giay morning when, wJthSiininel J. May,
our colleague on the committee to prepare*a decla
ration of feeutiiupnts for the Convention; T climbed
to the small “upper chamber"*, of a colored
friend to hear thee lead the first - draft ot a pa
par which will live an long as our national history.
I see the members of the Convention, solemnized by the
responsibility, rise, one by one, avid sllehtty afllx their
names to tbat * tern pledge of iidelity to freedom Of the
signers, many have passed away from earth, a few have
faltered and turned back, but, I believe, the majority
Still live to rejoice over tht great triumphs of truth and
justice,and to devote what.roraains of time and strength
to the cause to.whioh they.consecrated tneir youth and

For, while we may well thank God, aul coutratulate

sponsibilities devolve upon us to aid, direct, and edu

ignorant, naked, and foodless r in.the will chaos of civil
war. We li*ve to nndd the accumulated wrongs of two

of black and white are overlooked in the heartfelt recog
nition of the brotherhood of man. .....
I must not close this letter without confessing that I
cannot be sufficiently thankful to the Divine Providence,
which, in a great measure, through thy instrumentality,
turned me ho early away from what Roger Williams
calls “the world's great trinity, pleasure, profit, aud
honor, ”to take side with the poor and oppressed. lam
not insensible to literary reputation; I lore, perhaps too
well, the praise and good will of my fellow-man; but I
set a higher value on my name as appended to the Anti-
Blavery Declaration of 183 S, than on the title-page of any
book. Looking over a life marked by many errors and
short-comings, I rejoice that I have been able to main
tain the pledge of that signature; and that, in the long
intervening.years,
“Mt voice, tho’ not tlie loudest, has been heard
Wherever Freedom raised her cry bf pain. ”
Let me. through thee, extend a warm greeting to the
friends, whether of our own or the new generation, who
may a* eemble on the occasion of commemoration. There
is work yet to be done which will task the beet efforts
of us all. For tbyself. I need not say that the love and
esteem of early boyhood have lost nothing by the test of
time, and X am, very cordially, thy friend,

FROM HON. B. GRAT2 BROWN.
St. Louis, November 21,1863,
. My Dear Sir: Your very kind note of the lithinst.
was received some days sinee, aud would have been re
sponded to earlier, and more at length, bat for a sad
domestic bereavement, that has very much prostrated
me. It will be necessary for me to bo in Washington
cltj r two or three days before the session begins, but I
will endeavor to take Philadelphia in my route, and be
present with yon for a brie/ period, if it be possible. So
lar as my feeling is concerned, I can assure you that I
appreciate more than most persons so far away the great,
inliuence of the Anti-Siavery Society, in arousing this
nation to a setae of the sin of slavery that m as bending
it beneath the yoke, and in confirming our people in the
resolution to do away with it at every hazard. God in
bis great providence seems to have shaped this revolu
tion to carry forward that resolve sharply by the edge of
the sword, but more potently and endurlngly by the vast
augmentation of moral power and the deep stirring of
national Instincts, been called forth by the
ttruggle For our own State of Missouri, I believe I
may now say that th 6 work of deliverance is well nigh
done—would have been done long since but for the inter
position of Federal influence, civil and military, to sus
tain slavery and the slave dynasty. But oven these
things cannot long be—the end of ail sham doing is at
hand —and in the long hereafter Missouri, be assurea,
will sternly keep her faith with freedom.
I remain, sir, very truly, yours.

FROM 30N. OWEN LOVRJOY.
Princeton, Nov. 22,1553.
Mr Dear Sir : Your invitation on behalf of the Ame
rican Anti-slavery Society to aUend a meeting commemo
rative of its thirtieth anniversary, to be held on the 8d
and 4th of December at the city of Philadelphia, came to
hand just as I was leaving homeland I embrace tho ear
liest opportunity after my return to reply. I have Borne
hope of being able to be present.
- In the.event of my not being able to attend, will you
allow me to say that 1 am in favor of an act of Congress
abolishing slavery throughout the entire limits of the
United States, and making it a penal offence to hold or
claim to hold a slave?
If we ha ve a right to build a Pacific Railroad to pro
mote the general welfare without any specific grant of
power in the Constitution, how much more have we the
right to destroy that which is not only opposed to the
general welfare and to the spirit and genius of the Con
stitution. but is in constant and now bloody antagonism
to every avowed purpose /or which that organic law was
ordaired and established! lam aware that the dogma
or fiction (tor it is nothing more) of fetate sovereignty
will be opposed to this legislation. Bat to this theory of
State sovereignty, I oppose the words of the Constitution
itself: “This Constitution, and the laws of the United
States which shall be made in pursuance thereof, shall be
the supreme law of theland, anything in the Constitution
or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding "
Another mode of reaching the same end woald be to
take a slave into the United States Supreme Court, aad
see whether that tribunal dare Tefase him freedom under
tlie Constitution. I have never had a doubt that a bench
of honest judges would liberate a slave if once ia court.
1 think that was the chief motive for the atrocious Dred
Scott decision. The slaveholder dare not confront
this slave in that tribunal if it could be half-decently
constituted. I shall therefore be with you in spirit, if
not in person. I heartily hid you Godspeed in your
efforts to secure obedience to the Divine command whtch
the Fathers traced on the bell, which, I think, still
hangs dver Independence Hall, in the city where you
meet: “Proclaim liberty throughout all the land, to all
the Inhabitants thereof. ”
Yours, for universal freedom,
OWEN LOVE JOY.

FROM HON. JOSHUA K. GIDDINOS.
- At Home, Nov. 30, 1868.
My Dear Garrison: Darin? the lust three yean oar
people have raised, armed, and sent to the field a million
and a quarter of the best soldiers who have ever fought
In the cause of freedom, at an expense of fifteen han
dled millions dollars. In no age, in no cPme have
any people made so great, or suoh willing sacrifice
for liberty, while the nations of Europe have stood with
folded arms, looking upon this mighty conflict, boasting
that, they took no interest in this war between slavery
and freedom, that they neither encouraged one nor con
demned tlie other.
Witcin the last two years, our people have purified
themselves from slavery and the slave trade in the Dis
trict of Columbia and in our Territories; and the Presi
dent’s proclamation of emancipation has repudiated the
institution in ten sovereign States, while in four others
slavery lingers only inluame. Withinthattimethreemil
liona of degraded bondmen have been legally elevated
to the enjoyment of those rights which the Creator be
stowed upon them. Heaven itself may well rejoice, and
air good men will thank God, take courage, and re
engage in the great work with increased real.
1 rearet to say, that from the length of time and the
severity of my own. labors, I have fainted, fallen, and
been borne from the field of conflict; but as I Unger upon
the verge of time, I still rest mjr dimmed vision upon the
battle as it stiU rages, and my last prayer shall be for
the heroes of justice and liberty.
I pray you to express to the members of your Society
the assurance ofmy affectionate regard.
Very faiihfolly, your friend.'

Intelligence has been received of the death of
the veteran comedian,“ Old Joe Cowell,” When
his granddaughter, Mias Kate Bateman, (whose
mother is a daughter of Mr. Cowell,) determined on
making a d6but in London, the veteran thought he
would be a proud eye-witness of the triumph that
awaited her. He arrived in England in perfect
health. About ten days after- his arrival he was
'seized with a severe cold, which resulted in inflam
mation of the lungs. Up to within twenty-four
hours of hie death his physicians gave hopes uf Hie
recovery. Joseph Cowell was born in Chatham,
Kent, (England), in the year 1792, on the 7th of Au
gust, He died on the 14th of last month.
Public Entertainments.
Italian Opera.—“ Norma” will be almost a
novelty to-night, for of late years it has been infre
quently sung. It is one of-Madame Medori’s finest
roles, and admirably suited to her dramatic power.
Madame Sulzer will sing Adalgisa, and Pollione, a
character generally entrusted to-the second tenor,
will receive the benefit of MaszolinVs splendid tenor.
“Norma” is certainly one of the triumphs of the
Italian school, and the masterwork of Bellini. Mr.
Marotzek’B company is able to give it firat-class pro
duction. : .
Walnut*street Theatre.—Mr. Clarke’s be
nefit, this evening, is made attractive by the amu
sing plays,: “The Babes in the Wood,” “ The Rus
sian Admiral,” and.the “ Speotre Bridegroom.” In
the last of these Mr. Clarke is especially good.
Arch-strekt Theatre.—Mrs. D. P. Bowers
takes her farewell benefit to-night in the “Lady
of Lyons.”
Gough’s Lecture.—Our readers will bear in
mind that the sale of tickets for the new lecture of
J?obn B. Gough, on “ Peculiar People,” will begin
to-morrow (Saturday) morning, at Martien’s, 606

The Reason Why.—Our readers may
feel inclined to know our motivea for persistently
advocating a preference for the “ Wheeler & Wil
son” overall other sewing machines extant. We
will here tell them at least one of the “reasons
why.” The Wheeler & Wilson is the only machine
in existence th at is thoroughly adapted to all kinds
of family sewing.- Other instruments are found to
work well oil certain grades and classes of mate
rials; but this operates with equal ease, neatness,
and precision, on all fabrics, from the finest eambrio
to four thicknesses of the heaviest broadcloth. This,
with a number other superior characteristics, ren
ders the Wheeler & WUson Maohine the one above
all others: suitable for presenting, to either wife,
daughter,’ sinter, sweetheart, or friend; and this
accounts for the streams of customers that now
daily ebb and flow at the Wheeler & Wilson esta
blishment, No. 704 Chestnut street.

A Holiday Gift.—Tlie most useful and
tho most sensible gift for a gentleman to present a
lady is Florence Sewing Machine, There Is no
article of household furniture, combining praotioal
utility and beauty, that will compare with the
Florenoe. Among its many advantages over all
heretofore flrst-olass machines may be mentioned:
Each machine makes four different stltohes, which
enables the operator to select and adapt the
stitch required for the different kinds of work.
Each machine has the reversible-feed motion and a
uniform tension of thread. Its motions being ail
positive, and having no fine springs, it will not vex
the operator by getting out of order. Its beauty and
simplicity are the wonder of all, The most inexpe
rienced find no difficulty in using it. Every maohine
warranted. Call at our new store, No. 630 Chestnut
street, andjudge for yourselves.
Ladies, young ladies especially, look bet
ter in their everyday morning costumes than when
in full evening dress. We don't know how it is, but
a lady in a party dress always seems to us an arti
ficial woman, a light fabric or flowers and feathers,
which it wouldn't do to tie to or swear by. The
fashion plates in magazines, and the dummies in
shop % windows, would produce about the same effeot
in a crowded room, if they could only say « Naughty
man!” and polka. Gentlemen, on the contrary,
always present an attractive appoaranoe, especially
if jhey have had the good sense to patronize the
one-price Clothing Emporium of Granville Stokes,
No. 609 Chestnut street.

Thee’ll pardon me, friend Abraham, I feel that I
should write,
Yea, I’m commanded fo to do, by this internal light;
Sinoe Horace Greeley wrote to thee I’ve felt a great
concern
To tell the little In my breast that makes my bosom

■While in the meeting house this morn, a waiting on

I thought of nothing but the war and of the rebel

Although I am by principle opposed to wicked war,
I really think, friend Abraham, thee wants a million
more.

BISHOP HOPKINS.
I presume that Bishop HOPKINS believes that
the posterity of Adam were Involved In the conse
quences of his transgression; that before the fall, the
humanrace were free; that after the fall, they became
slaves to the flesh and-the devil.
Assuming these premises to be true, it follows, that
the Devil! was the first, and is now the chief alave
master, and all' who advocate the continuance of sla
very are his lawyers.

rjTHE- GBSAT SENSATION NOVEL.
By EPES SARGENT, is meeting with an enormous sale,
and no-wonder-; for, as a specimen of what readers of
judgment think* we quote from the Roxburp Journal ,
which says:. “The story is intensely interesting as a
picture of onr own times; it is surpassingly vigorous in
its grasp, and graphic in its detail Of ail works of fic
tion. written with a moral purpose, we scarcely kuow of
one which;’exoels it in these qualities. As a story, it
holds the reader as by a spell. As anargament. wa
can conceive of nothing more cogent than its vivid and
picturesque pages. This is strong praise, hut does not
overstate the fads.” ;
