TUG VOIC'C OF BOSTON v l ilti AUJUUDA It !in never fillcM to our lot to discharge a more gratifying 1 ity th in devolve up m us, in ree r h ig the r r-eeJuis of yjsterd iv at Faueud II The subject wai one of no transient, no orhnary importance. It involved a consideration of the most s .l -in i rie:its,anl t ie m st urgent duties. It had regird to the vital interests of an imin -use republic-of assiciate 1 Starts looking back upon a past of coni.ii.il stniggte. and a common triumph aiou nl upa.i a present of inte.is ' an 1 g;m?ral ex- cit n; it on tlie one pirt, and a sympathy no less general and intense on the other ud forward, to a future it miy hoof union, prosperity, arid peace Ji.it, even to the eye of fervent patriotism and conri hug hope, shadowed with c loads and darkness. Til call fir a ui;eting, in refi;rence to the re cent :irit iti .in on Slavery, was received bv our co n nimitv with an universal sentiment of appro bati m. T i re is no section of" the country in which a in re generous, anient, a ad sincere attach, meat to the Constitution and Union of these St ites is entertain-? I, than in that win re the first seeds of that revolution were so.vn, whose full harvest was crowned with those rich blessings. There is no people who would ruird their sacred inheritance with more jeaS msy than the eople of Massachu setts. On the altar which the patriotism of the ta ttlers erected in memory of the treasure they had lavished, and the rich blood they had shed tor a glorious cause the altar of Constitutional Umon the children are ever leidy to oiler the willing sacrifice 'of their lives, to save it from pro fane de sec nit ion. If we need any pr f of the attachment of our citizens to the Union and the Constititution, it was an.ly furnished by the enthusiastic and generous display of excited interest at the meeting in Fa lien il Hall. O ir people werC told tint the intete rence of Northern citizens in the domestic institu tions of the South institutions recognised by the common compact of the States had create 1 a feel ing in that section of the country which menaced the peace and integrity of the Union. Th-)frf'ed-ed no farther inducement to pursue the course which duty and patriotism pointed out ; and they met together to condemn, in such language as the occasion justified, the movements of the disorgani zes, and to extend to the South the amplest assu rances of a common sympathy and common indig nation. We have nrtver seen a larger or more respecta ble audience within the walls of Old Faneuil; and it gave us great pleasure to rocog aize among thmn a large number of gentlemen fr m the South, who testified, by more sincere language than that of the lips, the kind and greaMul emotions that were swelling within their hearts. The mating wis called to order by FRACIS J. OLIVF.M, Usq. The lion. Tiikouork Lymvn, Jr., Mayor of the Citv, wis appointed Preside it. The Vice Presi dents were Dr. John C. Wvkrkv, John K. Simp son, IIknky Lkf:. Ivtkicv T. .1 wkso.n, I'mny Ci'tler, and Amos L v wkkni e, F.sqrs. The Se cretaries were Dmiel I). Rrodhead, Thomas 1?. Curtis, Win. R. Reynol Is, and Steplien Fairbanks, ISsq rs. Richard Fletcher, I'sq., ojcned t!ie meeting with the introduction of a series of Resolutions, h iving reference to a topic on which he begT" 1 leavo to present his views to the assembly. We are not callel lie observed, to consider the subject of Slavery; we are not called upon to ex press an opinion on the duties of our bretheru of the South; but we are called upon to consider our own duties, and to satisfy our own minds on the course that is proper for us to pursue. To deter mine our own duty, it i essential to consider the rights of the South; and on this subject but one opinion is generally prevalent in this community. "What rights have the South on the subject of slave ry? It is known that, before the formation of the Constitution, everv State possessed sovereign and exclusive control of this subject within its own lor ders. The pwer of its regulation lelonge to each individual State. And thus the Constitution left it untouched entirely exclusive. And this was no mi-take no accident; it was so left by de sign. Int this compact we entered freely delilie rately and pledged ourselves most solemnly to abide bv. its provisions. Under that compact we still live and flourish the sun in its circuit looks riot on a land more blessed. UiuW that sacred Constitution, then, faithful to its spirit and letter, let us hope to live and to die. Mr. Fletcher then preceded to the considera tion of our duties under that compact, with refer ence to the movement-! of the iloIitioui-ts. He re versed the case of interference, and asked, with what general indignation should we not resist any intermeddling of the Southern States in th-.se do mestic relations which the Constitution has left to our own exclusive sujieriuteiid-mce. Fvery man would resist it as a gross insult upon himself and the community. He considered, then, all such in terfertmce as totally wrong mischievous useless worse than useless. It edlcted nothing. In the j iature of things it could eilect r.tbiii-r but ex:it; a ssnirit of resistance a nl opposition if i-oih i otuy ( . ii i retard, if not defeat, the object th it the abolitionists i professed to have in view; audit had already, in all probability, thrown back emancipation more j than half a century. Mr. Fletcher then remarked on the unjustifiable nnd inHamatory language tf the abolitionists their coarse anil violent epithets and their avowal that all the laws in regard to slat.ery were, in a moral jxnnt of view, null and void. This eJoetrine he just ly represented as revolutionary. The right rf hs cussion of persuasion as claimed by the aboli tionists, was then considered; and that kind of gen tle persuasion touched upon, which is exhibited in catching a man by the throat, spitting in his lace, calling him rascal with the assurance,' meanwhile, that this is no violence, but mere persuasion! After a series of judicious and eloquent remarks, following out in detail the iewsof the preceding paragraphs, Mr. Fletcher concluded with observing that the hopes of the slave and the free man tin; black atid the white, are boun 1 up together in the Union of these States. If that Union is eve,r in the providence of (iod U I? torn asunder, I irust, in that melancholy event, it may l; in our power to aay that We are not guilty ! If the glorious ban ner that waves over us U ever to be torn down, may it not be by our band. RESOLUTIONS. Wiiekeas it has become a matter of public nofo-rk-fv, that projects are entertained by iudi iduals fa tlfi Nortberp States of this Unioj, fbr cfF.cting tin? i1r.tne.Vr4!. abolition ef siavr-ry in our sifter j States, and that ass H-iatious have been formed fr this en l and there is cause to believe that the, jK-rfi an(j i!l(1Joncc ((f tj,os0 ,),.rsns have Ihmmi greatly exagii"rated bv the apprehensions .if many of our Southern brethren, and too probably, bv t!ie ' sinister designs of nth ts, who discern an occasion o promote, in the So dh, disaflectiou to our h ijpy j J. non; and in consequence of the great ami in- j creasin" excitement nreva.Iin -r mou this su! ect, It b -cooies our duty to atteuiot to calm tlie iniu'ls i - . . i . ' . a.id assure the conii lencc ot the l people 01 i those Stales, ,y expressing the sen of this com-i uiuoiv uiM.o tliese oroeednres : We. the citizens of - lloston, here assembled, hereby make known our - . sentiments respecting this momentous fiiibject, in the hope that the same may lo favorably received and adoute.l by other cniniiiiiiiities ;iud assemblies of our fellow citizen-., so that public and general seutim ; it may h'i demonstrated to exist in th; North, adverse to these destructive projects. We hold this truth to !e indisputable, that the condi tion of slavery finds no advocates among our citi-ze-isour laws do not authorize it, our princinles revolt against it our citizens will never tolerate its existence among them. Iut although they hold .these, opinions, they will not attempt to coerce their brethren in other States to conform to them. They know that slavery, with all its attendant evils, was entailed uju the South by the moth ;r country, and so firmly engrafted upon tiieir social system, that the Revolution which sjindenfd their political ties to (ireat llritaiu, had no elK-ct whatever in loosen ing those which bound the slave to his master in the Colonial State. Tais condition of things con tinued an I existed at the adoption of the Federal Constitution. Ry that sacred compact, which con stitutes the American Union one nation, the rights and jurisdiction of the Southern States were recog nized and con tinned by nil the rest. The actual state of their social relations was the basis Vf that compact; and we disclaim the rigid, and disbelieve the polh-y, and condemn the injustice of all jprts to impair or disturb solemn obligations thus im losed upon ours dves, by our free act, with a full knowledge of their nature and hearing upon the po- htical system, and by an adherence to which we have together prosjiered in peacn and triumphed in war lor nearlv have a century. 1 adertainhig I best views, we solemnly prot st against the principles and conduct of the few, wh in thir z.al would scatter among our Southern brethren firebrands, arroivs, and death. We de plore the illusion of a greater (though we still Im; bee a small) number of estimable, moral, and pious "rsons, wh , confiding in the purity of their mo tives, hut blind to the appalling consequences, un consciously co-o-ierate with them in their attempts to violate the sacred faith of treaties, and the plain princinles of international lawAnd, aliovc all, we regard, with feelings of in liguatiou a id disgust, the intrusion un our domestic relations of alien emis saries, sustained by the funds of a foreign jeople. The national government has uniformly acted upon the principle of non-intervention in the domestic policy of foreign nitions, and the jeople have im juise 1 restraints upon their sympat hies and feelings, which, had th"se only lieeti consulted, would have led them to comjiel their (iovernnienf to abandon its neutral osition. Surely the obligations which confederated States owe to each other are not less sac ret! than those which regulate their conduct to- wards foreign nations. Tne evils of slavery fill more immediately on those among who. n it exi-ts; and they alone, bv natural and conventional right. ; are coinitent to make laws under w hich it shall be mitigated, aUdished, or endured. These evils can only be aggravated, to the discomfort and dan ger of the master, and the preju lice and misery of the slave, by attempts to encroach upon this juris diction. Then fore Resolretl, That the people of the Uni ted States, by the Constitution under which, by the r divine blessmg. tliev hold their most valuable noli lical nrivilcres. have solemnly agreed with each other to leave to the respective States the iurisdic- lion iertainin.r to the relation of master and slave witiiiu their louii(iaries, and that no man or body bf men, except the people or governments of those States, can of right do any act to dissolve or impair the obligations of that contract. Resolred, That we hold in reprobation all at tempts, in whatever nise they may appear, to co erce any of the United States to abolish slavery bv apxals to tfie terror of the master or the passions of the slave. Rrso1red, That we disapprove of ufl ass-ciations instituted in the iion-slavcholding States with an intent to act within the slavehol ling States without thtur consent.

Rexolred, That till measures, the natural and di rect tendency of w hich is to excite the slaves of the ?outh to revolt, or to spread among them a spirit "f insii!ordination, tire repugnant to the duties of the man and the citizen, a ad where such measures l;eotne manifest, bv overt ar t,, which are cogni- I... .. ? i. oi . i i ii .i... i,y oMiMiiuiiu.i ii i iv v.-1 in .no, oy an me means in our imiver, in the supinut of those laws. Rexo'ied, That, while we recommend to others the duty of sac rilicing their opinions, passions, and ....... r...-.w...-, altar of the laws, we are s V II I O till. urroii the ! bound to show that u regard to the supremacy of J those laws is the rule of our own conduct and coiiseque tly to deprecate and opjtose all tumultua- ry assenmnes, an rioious or violent pnteeeuiiigs, all outrages on person and prnpert v, and all illegal no tions of the right or duly of executing summary and vindictive justice in any mode unsanctioned by law. The Resolutions e.ff'rel bv Mr. Fletcher were then read by Mr. Curtis, one of tne Se'cretaries. The queston ln-ing on the adoption, the Hon. I'k i.ko SritAori: rose in their support. He thought the regulation or ah diliou of slavery within the ex clusive care ef the slave-holtliier States. He saw- no go.K that could result from a'-itatiii" and in- fuming the public mind at the North on this so lemn and delicate subject; not if the exciteuit cut crvaded everv section and State on this side the I'otoiiiac. What iMmefit would result from such an excitement? Is it prtqiosed to ojernte on the fears of the slave-holders ? Ry such a course von might bind the cords of the slave closer, make his chains heavier, and dig his dungeon deeper: fir fear hardens the heart against all touches of hu manity but you could eflect neither his emanci jKition nor the improvement of his condition. And if an insurrection should take place among the slaves, should we not, in obtHenco to the Con,:'n- tion, be ready fur the call aye, go forward to meet our brethren, and die in ihe "defence of those w hoso blood whose cause is our cause ! Mr. Sprague denounced, in strong language, the coure p.irMied hy the abolitionists. lie uesireu to do them no injustice. They professed a wish not to C'mii;h;, hut to jersuade; though their course was calculated lor any thing rather than persuasion. They sought to pleas; and allure, by language that co.ild have no other eueet than to excite and aggra- . l vate. lie hail heard t individuals w no practiseo j .i . . i rai-, i.... . . . . . ....... i i i a inou.iuu w inning ay s 10 ma-. ... , " . . ..... . t ltl.t and the abolitionists had employed all ttlCSO uri; (with wonderful success. t . i i i i In reference to the disregard of consequences, which the abolitionists profess in performing what is r't'i, Mr. Sprague could not conceive how a re- rar.l to consequences, in a subject of this import ance, could avoid entering into the very essence of riiihl. If they really entertained this notion, why did they not carry it fully into practice ? Why do they not go to the S uth and preach their doctrines ? Why, from a regard to consequences; their lives, perhaps, would Ik; in imminent peril, and the loss of life is a consequence lor wilie i, even in following the strict line of duty, they exhibit a due regard, lie thought the true understanding of this doctrine was, that the abolitionists disregard the consequen ces that might result from their conduct to other people but were suiTieieutly sensitive in reference to those consequences that alFicted themselves. This Msition this profession of disregard to con sequences, was a false wsitioti one that could be in no wise sustained. With reference to the opprobrious language used by the abolitionists towards the slave-holders, stig matizing them as robbers and murderers men with whom we should hold no communion Mr. Sprague pronounced it to le lihe.is and slander ous. The time was, when such language could not have been breathed in this community. lck to the period when our lathers first proclaimed re sistance to that authority which claimed the right to bind the colonies in ail case.-, whatsoever; when Massachusetts sbxd alone, breasting tiie torrent of;ti British power and when our gallant brethren of ; the South came .reii-roii-.lv t( her assivta in- what wis then t h mi h7 of com mum o. i with slave-holders ? 1 NVht'tl the streets of R s?on, and th" fi I Is of Le. j Resolreil That we respond to the call of our j to the Chairman of the Cu.-imiuee of Supei inter.d ;,.,!,.,. nod C.Mc..rd w re ilowiu.f with th" blood of! brethren of the South, that we are their brethren: i eoce, W.

We cannot follow Mr. Sprague throughout in his spirited and eliwjuent remarks. They were recei ved with an ardent and general applause. It is enough to say that he fully tisstained, within the walls of old F.mcuil, the high reputation for chaste, sincere, and fervent eloquence that he brought with him from the fl.ior of the Senate. The meeting was closed with the soeech from the H n.
