The thirty-Court Ii annual meeting of the Amer ican Tract Society was bold at the Academe of H . il !. a! . . . iuumc, in uns cuy, jesterusy morning at Dine o'clock, which wan opened with prayer by Ke. Dr. Spring. The .'resident, Chief Justice William, was in 1110 cnair. Aoout aw J,Uo Mi rectors and Life members wore present, and occupied the lower floor, admitted only by ticket.

Dr. Do Witt, Chairman of the Exocii tivc Committee, made a few opening and touch' ing rciuamj as to tnc entire naimony or the Com. luittce for twenty-four year.

The election f thid Committee is only by Life Directors. The opponents of tho Society, because it will not approve, publish and scatter tract against slavery, present, were far less than last year. These few made a deeperatt, dying atro'lo to disturb- the meeting by introducing resolutions nnu nixing spceeiics to instruct or urge the Com- mittpu to publish tracts ajrainst the slave trade, Z-'l silvery resolution was voted down by call (est Tote of an overwhelming majority, deciding that this and such subjects do not belong to the So ciety, and should not come up fur discussion. After voting down all these resolutions, for fear some might const rao this so decided action a cncouragiiiE 'he r; emiig ,r f ire"African slave- trade, which Christians North and South are op posed to, the Society passed almost unanimously tho fulluwin' resolution, offered by the venerable Dr. Spring. Iu offering it, lr. Spring remarked, that he had no sympathy with the spirit of t.ppo , sition to this. Society; that he approved all the action of this meeting, and that with the great ' uiajo'rityof those present he desired to puf an cud to thcrdUus!ion on shivery before thii So ciety, as it was an improper time and place for such discussion. The resolution is m these wocds, "tito!,al, That in laying the preceding reso lutions upon the table, the Society have not conic to this conclusion from any donbt in relation to thetin of the African slave-trade and the great wickedness of re opening the iniquitous traffic in any form." - 1-1 AtAhia liiitlhd JJiirty otftriy opponent 4VIV me douso u iir-qff-jHe-jritiit taken out 1 their n' the Society taking (be only safe giound, that it is neither anti slavery nor pro-slavery, having nothing to do with the subject.

A meeting in behalf of the American Tract Society at Jiottoti, was held this morning at Dr. Chcevcr's church. This Society ha here tofore been a. branch of the- Soeioty at ttem . Yotk. During the past year, however, they be gun to act as an independent society, publishing tracts on1 slavery, and enroaching on the field of the Society at Xew York. Their meeting this morning took a decidedly anti slavery ground and bitterly opposed the position of the Nationl So ciety. Their Secretary stated that hereafter they would publish against slavery as a system. It was stated decidedly that it withdrew all connection with the Society at New York and would bcindn. pendent, which course decides the disconnection entirely of that Society from the national Society here. Henry Ward Heccher violently attacked " the officers and cause of the American Tract So ciety, ridiculing jt works, its publications and its supporters. Tho Amcrican Tract Society by this course will be free from all connection with those who heretofore have been determined, if possible, to force it into publishing on vexed subjects.
