      DOUGLAS JERROLD'SSHILLINGMAGAZIXE August . London : Punch Office , So , FJeet-Street . The two chapters of the Editor's story , "St . Giles and St . James , " contained In this number are very excellent . Here again we hare *• Bright Jem , " " Capstick"th 3 immortal MuSn-maker , "Snipeton " the Usarer , "St . Giles , " andsereral other character ? , all made to play their respective parts in that Inimitable style which has made the ratings of Douglas Jebeold so popular . The following extract we commend to the attention of our fair readers , the utterance of snch sentimentsbythe late "Job Caudle , " would hate been sure to have procured for iim the title of "Infidel" from tbe lips of his angelic wife , the erer-io-be-kmented Mrs . C .

      THE PALL OF WOMAN . "When we remember that both sorts of millinery , male and female , are the consequences of original wickedness , ought not the manly heart to shrink , and feel a ftog . like coldness at an embroidered waistcoat % Ought not woman , smitten with the recollection of the treason of her great mother , to scream even at the rustling of a pompadour , as at the moving scales of n . gliding snake * She ought ; hut we fear she seldom does , > ay , sometimes she actually loves—determinedly loves-fine clothes , as though she had first waked in Paradise , like a queen frem a siesta , in velvet and brocade , with jewels in her hair , aud court plaster stars upon her cheeks . With

      heart-breaking perverseness , she refuses to admit the naked truth to her soul , that the milliner came into the world with death . Otherwise , could philosophy with its diamond point engrave this truth upon the crystal heart of woman , it would very much serve to lessen pin-montT .-"We have heard it iaid—of course we immediately wrapt our countenance in our cloak , and ran from the slanderer—that woman fell for no other purpose than to wear fine clothes . In the prescience which she shared with man she eaw the looms of the future world at work , and lost herself fora short sarsnet . It is just as possible , too , that some of her daughters may have tripped at the window of a mercer . Good , too , is the following bit of political philosophy , from the senatorial muffin-mater : — CATS-TICK'S TIEW OF JIA 6 NA CHARTA , Mr . Capstiek had , he was accustomed to declare , furnished his room with a vigilant eve to his duties as a . Member of Parliament . Over his mantle-piece was Magna Charta , framed and glazed . < 'A fine historic fiction , " he would say : " beautifnl legend : a nice sing song to send men to sleep , like the true and tragical history of Cock Bobin chaanted to chil&ren . " He was Trent io chuckle tnightilj-ai the passags—a fine stretch of fancy he would call it—about " selling or deferring justice , " and vow it ought to be written in blood-red

      letters in the Court of ChaBcery . " There is fine grave Eomefiy , in thissheet , sir ; an iron ; that strengthens the serves like a steel draught . They ought to hang it up on board the Tower Tender ; 'twould make pretty reading for the free-born Englishman , kidnapped from wife and children to fight , and to be cut into a hero to vomit songs about , hv the grace of the cat . " And in this irreverent , rebellious fashion would the Member for Liquorish talk cf ilagna Charts . He called it a great national romance ; and never failed to allude to it as evidence of the value of fine fictionnpen a people . "Because it ought to be true , he would say , " they think it is . "

      The article entitled ' Criminals , " is ablv written . Truly does the writer say , " The distribution of the affairs of this world seems each a tangled web of arbitary arrangements—good and evil , right and wrong—that we cannot penetrate to the principle which gorerns it . " Of Criminals it is well said , It is with those men who have not become actual criminals that any interference can be mado with any rational hops of doing them good . When a man has once been convicted of an offence against life and property , he is a marked man for the remainder of his days—a social Cain , whom all who come near avoid . * * So much the more imperative is it on all to endeavour to iitp them from eril , to prevent that which , when it once occurs , is irretrievable in its consequences . Several other articles are contained In this number , concluding with a chapter from the "' History of Toung Eugland , " detailing the principal events of lie earlv cart of the reign of Henry the third .

      THE TRUTH SEEKEIL August . London : Chapman Brothers , 121 , Newgate Street : Leeds , - Dr . J ; . R . Lees , Burmantofts . We are much pleased with most of the contents of this number , to some things we ^ xcept , for instance a poetical i-hapsod y entitled " The Bridge of Death " which mast have been written while the author was under the influence of night-mare . This number contains a translation of the celebrated Greek comedy "The IW' of AristophaneB ; a beautiful ' Forest Sketch" which but for want ot room we should have been tempted to transfer to our columns ; a notice of the life and works of the famous German

      author Jean Paul Richter ; and lastly , the commencement of the " Authentic memoirs of a slave " by one Archy Moere . So far as the narrative has proceeded Archy Moore ' s story is exceedingly interesting , painting in vivid colours the abominations of slavery , in " Republican America ; " we shall be glad to see the continuation © f these"Memoirs . " From the list of titles of the articles contained in this number , the reader will perceive that the Truth Seeker is a very Buperior production , having loftier aims and nobler purposes than the great majority of our periodicals . We earnestly wish the talented editors success , and with that view warmly recommend their neat aud well conducted . Magazine .

      THE FAMILY HERALD . Part 39 . London G . Biggs , 421 , Strand . The great attraction of this Part of the Family Herald is the commencement of the new French tale from the pen of Eugene Sue , entitled "Martin the Foundling : or the Adventures of a Valet de Chambre . " The first five chapters are exceedingly interesting and give promise of a work second to none of M . Sue's productions . We anticipate that tbe author ' s object is to exhibit the abominations of the present social system , especially as exhibited in the vices of the idle classes , and the misery of the French peasantry . We perceive that the evils of the present system of game &ws in France will be

      exposed with a searching and unsparing pen . Lastly , we anticipate in this tale a developement of tbe author ' s ideas of that social revolution which in his previous works he has demanded and championised . Such a work will commend itself to the friends of progress , and will naturally commend its channel of communication to the English public , the Family Herald . The other contents of this Part are as usual excellent . We have no room for extracts , nevertheless we must give the following short and simple receipt selected from the weekly budget of "Family Matters ; " at the present time its extensive publicity must be useful ; even should it in some cases fail it is too simple to do harm , and at least deserves a trial where the occasion

      exists;—LuBBHCEi . —A certain enre for this complaint is found in rice water . Boil the rice , take the water , make it palatable with salt , and drink it copiously while warm . We never knew this simple thing to fail .

      Edixbhrgb , Saturday , August 15 . —This being tbe day fixed upon for the inauguration of the statue of Sir Walter Scott , the streets of oar city , from an early hour , presented signs of unusual bustle . Parties ef strangers , who availed themselves of the facilities afforded by the railways , entering Edinburgh , from the east and wost , were to be seen promenading through tbe town , having evidently come from the surrounding country to take part in , or be spectators of . the great national ceremonial . A

      heavy raiu having set in on the previous night , which continued till eight o ' clock en the morning of the inauguration , and no symptoms appearing of the weather clearing up , fear was entertained that the celebration of tbia national undertaking would be raarre . l . This fear , however , met with an agreeable disappointment , ns the clouds began to disappear about half-past one in the afternoon , half an hour before the time when tbe procession was to leave the High School , in which it was arranged that the various masonic and public bodies should m « st and form into line .

      So great was the anxiety manifested to witness * ceremonial , that shortly before twelver o ' clock , although a heavy rain was falling at the time , the streets through which the procession was to pass on its way from the High School to the Scott monument , were lined by dense masses of people . As the hoar of two approached , the interest increased in intensity . The windows along tbe lineof precession were filled with ladies and gentlemen , while every rising mound ivas covered with spectators . St . David ' i-street , which slopinglv fronts the monument , and commands a complete view of it , presented a most animating appearance . A dense mass of human beings , closely wedged together , occupied the entire street , the foreground of tvhieh was relieved by a range of carriages filled chiefly by ladies , waiting to witness the inauguration .

      According to previous arrangement , the procewiom left toe High School at a quarter past two , by which time the weather broke up , and the sun's rays enlivened the scene . The centre ef the line of route was kept clear by a large detachment of the 3 rd Dragoons , whose lerrices were Very effective . The procession was headed by ibe band of the -3 rd Dragoons , followed by the Auxiliary Scott Committee , the Scott Monument Committee , the Magistrates of eastern Portsburgh , western Portsburgh , Ganongat 8 , ^ IusBelbnrgh , Fortobello , Leitb , and Edinburgh , the members of which corporations were attired in their robes of office , and were attended by their suite . Then followed the Masonic bodies , whose rear was brought up by the Grand Lodge of Scotland , decked out

      in all the blazonry of freemasonry . A mounted escort of Dragoons completed the procession , which arrived at the monument at about a quarter to three . The different parts of the procession having taken up the places assigned to them in the pleasure grounds , in which the monument is reared , at a signal given , a salute wag fired by a detachment of the Boyal Artillery , who were stationed on the sontheen hank of the gardens , opposite the monument . On the report of the first gun , tbe large canvass screen which had completely hid the statue of Scott , was withdrawn on the instant . As the beautiful outline of the representation of the illustrious deceased burst on the new , the assembled thousands gare Tent to their pent-up feelings by one loud and long continued huzza , which made the welkin ring for several minutes .

      The usual masonic ceremoaies having been gone through , which occupied about half an hour , Lord Olenlyon and the Lord Provost addressed the company , after which , the procession returned to the High School . The style of the mounmeat is golhie , and is designed in the form of an open cross , the spire of which is 198 feet in height . Under a groined arch in the lower portion of the building is the statue of Scott , executed in Carrara marble by Mr . Steel , who has depicted with the utmost fidelity the features of the celebrated dead . Sir Walter is represented in a sitting attitude , with the ample fold , of p . Scottish plaid banging loosely about him , his favourite hound , Maida , which lies at his feet , is in the act of lifting up its head to catch tbe expression of its master ' s countenance .

      Abeut six o ' clock a very numerous party sat down to Sinner , in the Music Hall , the Lord Provost in chair .

      Monday considerable excitement was caused at l ) agenham , Romford , by a report that five of the police constables stationed at Dagenham , ipcluding the Serjeant , Parsons , had been apprehended by Superintendent Pearce and other officers of the detective police , on : i charge of being concerned in the murder of the unfortunate man Clarke . The following were ascertained to be the facts . At the inquest , it will be remembered that a considerable portion of the time of the coroner was taken up with inquiring whether Serjeant Parsons was on duty on the nig ht the unfortunate man , Clarke , was murdered , which inquiry was caused by one of the constables stating to Airs . Page ( a principal witness ) that he did duty for the serjaant on the night in question . The constable denied that he had made use of such a remark :

      but the jury , after a most patient investigation , were of opinion that he had ; Serjeant Parsons bringing forward witnesses who saw him on duty at twelve o ' clock on the night of the 29 th , And at one o ' clock and three o ' clock on the morning of the 30 th of June , when Clarke was missed . This evidence was given at the last meeting of the jury , and the eoroner said they were all satisfied that Parsons had done his duty in a proper manner . Among tbe witnesses examined on the first meeting of the jury were constables Kimpton and Butfoy , who spoke to finding the body ef the deceased ; the latter throwing suspicion on some parties living at Romforu . Un Saturday last Butfoy attended the examination o . the parties brought before the mag istrate at . Word , murder ot

      on the charge of being concerned in the Clarke , a ' . id subsequently he returned to the station at Dagenham , but oil beinir wanted to go on duty no was absent , it was ascertained that he had been to Scotland-yard , and stated to the commissioners Mat the whole of the evidence that had been given by the police before the cor « ner was untrue . Superintendent Pearce and other officers of the detective police were immediately s nt to Dasenham . After an mvesti"ation , Sericant Parsons , with Constables Iuckton , KimptoB . Farns , and Butfoy , were ordered into custody , the superintendent feeling it his duty to resort to luirsh measures , as gro .= s perjury had been consniittei by some one .

      IRELAND .., _ .... THE-REPEA . LERS . — Tbb " Nation " and the Chartists . —In ibe Nation « f Saturday the following appears mo . iE the notices to correspondents : — " We have received a printed address from tbe Chartists of England to the Irish people , with a request that we should insert it in the Nation . We desire no fraternisation between the Irish people and the Chartists—not on account of the bugbear of "physical force , " but simply because some of their five points are to us an abomination , and the whole spirit and tone of their proceedings , though well enough for England , arfi so essentially English that their adoption in Ireland would neither be probable nor at all desirable . Between us and them there is a gulf fixed ; we desire not to bridge it over , but to make it wider and deeper . " Doblijj , August IT .

      Repeal Association . —The usual weekly meeting was held this day in the Conciliation Ilall . On the motion of Mr . O'Connell , seconded by Mr . N . Mahcr , M . P .. the Chair was taken by Joseph Ilonry Dunne , jun . Esq . The Chairman , on taking his seat , addressed the meeting . The minutes of the last day ' s proceedings were next read , and Mr . O'Connell moved a vote of thanks to the Mayor of Limerick , and the other penttemen from whom the addreBS and remittance of a considerable sum of money had been received . Mr . O'Connell next said that he had to announce that 50 , 009 signatures had been affixed to a petition against : the Arms Bill now before Parliament . He had to move that the petition be not forwarded , for he was happy to be assured that the government , in accordance with the suggestion of the wishes of the Irish people , had consented to give up the bill . ( Tremendous cheering . )

      Mr . J . O'Connell rose and handed in some remittances from Manchester , and took occasion to advert to Borae disturbances at a peaceful repeal meeting in that town by the adrocates of violence . Mr . O'Connell said he was afraid that there were several bad Irishmen in Manchester . It was . the focus of the Ribbon conspiracy , and he hoped all the real friends of Ireland would help him to discover and denounce that conspiracy . Mr . J . O'Conneli rose again , and siated that Lord John Russell was tiiafc night to bring the state of the people of Ireland before parliament , and to state the measures he thought large enough for their relief . He , on the part of Ireland , said that though the Irish people ought to be thankful lor the kindliness of the people of England , yet he must say that that relief was a very small portion of the sums of which Ireland had been robbed by the baleful Union .

      Mr . Ray next read a letter , speaking the sentiments of the Right Hon . Lord Firench und his family , and against Young Ireland . Mr . N . V . Waher , M . P ., read a letter from Dean M'Donnell , of Cashel , enclosing Hpwards of £ 1 C , subscriptions of several of the clergy of that Archdiocese . Mr . J , O'Connell then read the following letter from Mr . W . Smith O'Brien , M . P . : — ' Dublin , Augast 11 th , 1846 . "My Sbab Mb . Rat , —When , upon this day fortnight , I retired from Conciliation Hall , with a view to put an end to a scene which was net le . 's distressing to those who witnessed it than injurious to the cause of Ireland , and disparaging to the character of Irishmen , I indulged a confident hope that Mr . O'Connell would be enabled .

      upon his retun , to adopt such measures as would restore harmony in tbe Repeal Association , and re-unite the efforts of Repealers in every part of the kingdom . This hope has been disappointed . Although unwilling to say an ; thing -which can tend to witfen Hie breach whiob has taken place in our ranks , I feel that entire silence upou my part might be construed as acquiescence in the late proceedings of the Repeal Association . Under these uircumstances , I am compelled to record my dissent from the resolution by which the members and associates oftheHepeal Association have beta deprived of their right to receive the Nation newspaper in consideration of their contributions to the Repeal R-. nt . It is scarcely necessary for me to disclaim any connexion with that journal ; butlest there should be any misconception upon the subject , I think it right to state that I have never

      sein , prenons to its publication , any article written for that newspaper ; and that since the death of my lamented friend ,- Mr . Davis , I hare enjoyed very little personal intercourse or communication with any of the gentlemen who trrotti in its columns . In the Nat / o . v , as well as in other K'jpeal journals , opinions are occasionally put forward with which I do not agree , expressions are used which I regret and condemn ; but whilst I thus refuic to inflentify myself with all its sentiments , I profess and avow admiration of the ability with which it has been hitherto conducted . I admire it for the extraordinary vigour of its style , for the dazzling splendour of its prose , and for the glowing beauty of it » verse ; for the absence of that scurrility by which modern journalism is disgraced ; but above all , for its burning enthusiasm in the cause of Ireland ., I sincerely believe

      that the aim « f its writers has been to raise Ireland to her proper station amongst the nations of the earth by the attainment of national institution ? , and by the mental elevation of her people to make her renowned in literature and science , in Arts , and in arms—to protect and uplift the poor , without injuring the rich—to inspire patriotic , sentiment without demanding servility of opinion—to combine respect for religion with enlightened toleration of adverse creeds—to unite the people of this land in one great glorious confederation , and upon the basiB of such a confederation to plant the standard ot Irish freedom , supported on the one hand by loyalty to the Queen of this empire , and , on the other , by the wisdom , virtue , and courage of an Irish Parliament . Believing that the Nation has rendered incalculable servica to the cause of Repeal . I cannot but deeply

      regret its severence from the Repeal Association . If this proscription should bave the effect of destroying the journal , Ireland's cause will have lost one of its most efficient advocates . If , on the contrary , it should be sustained by the public in honourable independence , the Repeal Association will have voluntarily thrown away no inconsiderable portion of moral influence by losing its indirect control over a powerful organ of public opinion . I regret much that it has been thought necessary to subject to unfriendly and ungenerous criticism every expression which has appeared in the columns of this newspaper . If every ar tide written in the Repeal journals of Ireland—if every speech made bj the advocates of Repeal in the time of political excitement were in like manner to be subjected to sinister interpretation , who amongst us could escape censure !

      At a period when a popular outbi eak was really to be apprehended , it might have heeu proper to have adopted coercive measures to restrain the use of menacing language ; but , assuredly , at no period during the last three years has there been less pretext than at present for interfering with the independence of the Repeal press , either with a view to protect the Kepeal Association from legal snares , or to prevent the Irish people from striving to attain a repeal of the union by means of physical force . For my part , although I have felt it to be my duty to defend men who have been unjustly assailed , and , in doing so , have cheerfully sacrificed that popularity and' leader , ship' which it is supposed that I covet so much . I firmly repudiate that I am desirous of encouraging the people of Ireland io struggle for their legislative freedom by an appeal to arms ; but , on the other hand , I will not consent to pamper the pride of England , or to encourage her oppression of nay country , by telling her that the Irish people Lave for ever forsworn the use of the Btvord , as the

      final vindication of her national liberties . A multitude of painful reflections suggest themselves to my mind in connexion with the recent proceedings of the repeal aseoeiation ; but , as the expression of them would exasperate rather than allay dissension , I shall add no more than that I disclaim all participation in a course of policy which seems to me calculated to defeat the consummation of our hopes at the very moment when wo were upon the eve of a final and glorious victory . 1 cannot conclude tliia letter , however , without renewing to you , individually , the assurance of my unfeigned esteem ; and also gladly avail myself of this opportunity of gratefully acknowledging the uniform respect and kindness with which I have been treated , not only by Mr . O'Connell and hit family , but also every member of the association with whom I have been brought into personal communication since my accession to the repeal confederacy . —I remain , my dear Mr . Ray , your ' i very sincerely , " T . M . Ray , Esq . " " Wiihah S . O'Brien . "

      Mi * . O'CoxNFXLSftiu , that there was much in this letter in which ho could not coincide . He did not underrate the services of Mr . O'Brien , and would Eacrifico everything but principle in order to induce him to return to them . He bad a letter from Cork , which deplored the secession of Mr . O'Brien . In that sentiment he agreed ; but lie could not invoke Mr . O'Brien to return whilst he maintained his physical force principle . That made their reunion impossible . It would sul y ' cct them to tho charge of high treason- This lie said as a veteran lawyer , and aa counsel for Ireland . ( Hear , hear . ) There must be no physical force doctrine in their proceedings . The Cork people supposed that this made no difference , but he ( Mr . O'Connell ) insisted that it just made the difference between hanging and succeeding ' in their great object . ( Hear , hear . ) The learned gentleman then enforced his favourite theory of moral force revolution , and deprecated the use ot the sword in the strongest terras , lie would have

      nothing to do with force , but he would with moral agitation . ( Hear , hear . ) It was by this that lie had conquered emancipation ; and , by the same means , he would a » ain ( succeed for L-claiul . ( Hear , hoar . ) Lie then ridiculed the bravado of the young Iveknd party , who were only so ready to ftjhi , because no fighting was near . ( Laughter . ) As to Mr . O'Brien , if he would only throw away his sword , they would gladly receive him ; but on no other terms . He ( Mr . O'Conneli ) had ever condemned the rebellion of I ' j ' . jS , but lor that rebellion the English Government could never have earned the union . In sIiorF , lie was the declared enemy of ail physical force . We had a Government most favourable to Ireland , and lie hoped much from them ; but ho did not hope that thev would ha able to supm-scde the necessity lor repeal . The Repeal Association , at all events , should not stand in their way . They should have a lair trial ; and when they Jailed , the Association would still remain to agitate and have uething to reproach themselves with . ( Hear , hear . )

A moefinj : was held at the Tholsel a few days ago , for the purpose of considering the best means of supporting the Nation newspaper . Aldermen Cain and Potter were at the meeting , and the former addressed the assembly at great length : nnd though in his speech he deavoured

      en to inculcate . the maxims of union and firm confederation amongst all repealers , he yet openly announced hia determination that if the Nation was excluded by tbe Repeal Association , he would subscribe for it , and at his own expence supply it to the St .

The further consideration of the question was ultimately postponed to Thursday evening ncxt t in order that before coming to any decided resolution it might first be seen whether the Association would really exclude the Young Ireland organ .

      ANTI-SLAVERY LEAGUE MEETING . Monday evening a meeting of the members of this lociety took place at the Crown and Anchor . Among the gentlemen present we noticed J . natighton , Dublin ; William Howitt , Esq ., Rev . Dr . Thomson , H . C . Wright , iic . George Thompson , Esq . in the chair . The Chairman , on taking the chair , eaid a few words would bo tufficient to explain the circumstances which led to this meeting . At an anti-slavery meeting , which wag held at Glasgow , it was resolved to invite Mr . Gami . sontoeome to thin country to aid the friends of humanity to overthrow slaTcry ; ill over the world . That gentleman accepted the invitation , and at a meeting .

      which was held last Monday , it was determined to form an Anti-Slavery League , composed of persons who sympathised with those in America who were exerting themselves to accomplish the abolition of slavery in that country . Tlieir main object was to act in imitation , of another league which had accomplished a great victory . ( Hear , hear . ) Everyone , of every sect , was invited to become memhers . Jfor which , all that was required was to taks a card of membership , which wohW ob given on the payment of one [ shilling , which would ferm a fund to defray expenses . It was also thought desirable that a public meeting should be held , that they might hare the advantage of bearing those gentlemen , who had come to this country , explain the state of the anti-slavery cause in the United States .

      Mr . James Haughton , of Dublin , proposed the vol . lowiDg resolution : — "That we extend the right hand of fellowship to William Lloyd Garnison , the undaunted and steadfast pioneer in the cause of universal emancipation ; to C . Henry Wright , the unwearied advocate of the rights of humanity ; and to Frederick Douglass , the selfemancipated bondman , and eloquent assertor of the claims of his brethren still in chains , and do pledge ourselves to render all the aid in our power to these gentlemen , and their devoted coadjutors in the prosecution of their holy purposes , for the extinction of American llavery . " Mr . W . Lovett having seconded the resolution , The Rev . Mr . Hinton said he had risen under a painful necessity to object to the resolution , aa he was the friend of the American and Foreign Anti-Slav « ry Society , nnd it was only on that account that he inter posed his diisent , that it might not be supposed that the resolution had passed unanimously .

      The resolution was then put , and [ carried with five dissentient voices . Mr . C . H . Wright said there were three millions of laves Sn America , a country which held that all men were entitled to civil freedom . He was ( he advocate of three millions of glares in a slave-holding republic . These three millions of men were held as chatties , and were bought and sold as such . He would ask , had any man such a right in his fellow man by the Ian- of God ?—( No . no . ) Among these three millions marriage could not be legally contracted . They could not he witnesses in a court of law , nor a party in a suit . Who were responsible for this state of things ? What were laws hut so much parchment ! They then alleged the peculiar institution of slavery . They wished to shift the responsibility to that , ; but it was not the law , nor the institution of » lavery , which was responsible , but the men who upheld it . He then wenton to state a variety of acts

      of teverity practised by slave-owners , some of whom eten shot their slaves who had absconded , which had been defended by ministers of religion , who held that the parties had a right to do what they pleased with their own property . He should conclude by moving the second resolution ;— " That we regard with feelings of profound sorrow and humiliation , the btate of the American churches in relation to the question of slavery , and would earnestly implore the various religious denominations of that country to discharge in all Christian fidelity , the duty of admonishing- those professing- Christians in America , who practise , or in anywise plead for the existence of the foul abomination in their midst , who reduce tbe image of God to the condition of a chattel and a brute , and condemn to ignorance and perpetual bondage those for whom God died . " Mr . Wh . L . Gabnison seconded the resolution . The resolution was then unanimously agreed to .

      Mr . Frederick Douglass said they had heard that free coloured men were imprisoned in the Southern States , but they had not heard the reason . It was to prevent the propagation of their free opinions , and that the influence of thene men of colour might induce tho slaveB to rebel against their masters . After a striking expose of the horrors of slavery , he concluded by moving the following resolution : — " That the American slaveholders , with their abettors and apologists , are to be charged with denying God is the beneficent Creator and common father of the human race , and the gospel of Christ , as of universal obligation and value ,

      ¦ with perpetrating heathenism under the penalties of law , with overthrowing-the marriageinstitution , andde 3 troying all parental and filial relations by legalising the traffic in alareB and the souls of men , and with exalting the man . stealer above all that is called good . Hence it is the sacred duty of tho friends of freedom throughout tha wovld to bear their testimony against all Buch , as the enemies of mankind , and to combine , in every suitable way , for the overthrow of that execrable system which , sustained as it is in the n : ime of Christianity and Republicanism , strengthens the power of tyrants , and obstructs the progress of liberty in all countries . "

      The resolution was seconded by the Rev . Mr . Solley , an A agreed to . Mr . II . Vincekt then proposed , in an eloquent speech , the following resolution : — " That the existence of slavery in the United States has strengthened the eause of despotism througlioutthe would , and this meeting earnestly appeals to the people of Amfrlca to be faithful to their own declaration of rights , and to decree the extinction of this horrible sin ; and thnt tho despot may no longer be abb to point to America as a proof of the failure of Democracy , and thus divert attention from the discussion of principles which are ultimately to establish democratic freedom to all nations . " The resolution was agreed to , and after the customary toteof thnnks to the cnaii " , the meeting separated .
