THAT COUNCIL MEETING, The CouucU C'lumber was lighted on Tuea. day evening, and several Republican Alder men who had iu- been notified of any meeting wore attracted to the Court House by the unexpected display. Seven or eight Demo cratic m-.mbera wore present, as it by mutual understanding. la answer to a question pro pounded to tho City Clerk, whether there was to bo a meeting <-f tbo Council during the evening, that officer replied that it was “so supposed.*’ NTe made several ineffectual at tempts to arrive at a more definite understand ing of the thing, but nobody appeared to know what was on the carpet—at least those who did know were vtry close mouthed. It transpired yesterday that the meeting was called by two Democratic Aldermen for the purpose of multi] lying the voting places in the South Division. These- functionaries were very bparing“la their* issue of notices to tbo Board, and in one or two instances they tried to make it a condition precedent to the serving of notice ca Republican members that they should vote for an additional number of elec tion districts I It strikes us Hint ibis tomfoolc ry has been carried on almost long enough. We do cot apprehend that any anion taken at a special meeting of tho Council, where only one half of tho members are notified, would be legal, but wo aro not blind to the fact that it might be rovsini’d as legal “until after election.”— Wo take this occasion to notify the would-be nwindJera that the fruits of their scheme are not to be tasted this year. They can create a storm, bul they cannot double their votes by the process of doubling tho voting places— # net this time 1 The List ot Appointments* Wc are obliged to omit the Ii«*l of announce ments for Republican mass meetings two days in each week while our we-k'y edition is being printed.

There can be no doubt thatNcw York, lowa and Illinois will elect Republicans, as iu tbe present Con : re»s; that Oregon, if tbe succeeds in electing this year, will send opposition members, leaving a chance for a Republican gain in California. This will mskc a total of 53 Democrats, 28 Re publicans, 1 American, and 3.

ABREVIATIOX OP BEPOBT, The Boston Society bare furnished publica tions freely and on moat liberal terms, and do* voted the funds (£242) raised for them by the Agency to the tract work here, and hare also appropriated £COO to meet our deficiencies in colportage work; they bare also met all indi vidual calls made by localities on this field to them directly.

F. Sarage, Scc’y of the Agency, entered upon bis duties Ist of January, 1600. Previous to this time so effort had been made to collect foods or enlist the churches in the enterprise, so that a period of nine months em braces the activa operations of the Agency. A department was to be organized, funds collect ed, churches interested, colporteurs commis sioned* and provided with publications, and all this in the period of great financial embarrass ment. In prosecution of bis work the Secretary has visited churches and ecclesiastical bodies in Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, lowa and Wisconsin. This preparatory work has been everywhere received with cordiality, Gotlertiom. —Collecting agents, devoting time exclusively to the work hare not been em ployed; the object being to secure agency of pastors. No etfbrt bos been made to secure collections in luoiana or Ohio, and to but lim iled extent In lowa.

Arrangements were made with Church, Goodman A Kinney, of Chicago, to keep on sale the publications ot tbe Boston and Cincinnati societies. The sales have reached the sum of £l,lOO. Tbe increasing de mand renders it for the interest of book sellers to keep these on sale, thns establishing local depositories without the expense of a salaried agency. CUportage —Tbe Western field is very large, and applications for colporteurs very argent. The aid needed by tne Agency in this direction has been furnished by the Boston Society. Seven colporteurs have been commissioned iu •he field. Their reports are very cheering and indicate tbe great need of this work. Voluntary V (portage —lt has been tbe aim of the Agency to e-courage churches and Indi vidualt in a voluntary colportagc, sud the urgent and im • crous calls from different sec tions show bow much could be done tilth's wav. To encourage this, tie agency hare made gra tt lu tbe mil client of the uieaus at their dispsal. £ndor '*mintt.— That each a Tract Agency ia an absolute necessity to tbe West and that it meets hearty encouragement, reference may be bad to the recent action of eevrral of our eccle siastical bodies Ti c Cougregational General Assemblipa of Olio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois. lowa Kan sas and Minnesota, the Oenerel Oenv-ntion of Wisconsin, tbe Baptist General As ociationof Wu-coneia, and various other occiesius'.icol bodies, hare, within tbe year, passed strong resolutions disapproving the coarse of tbe New York Society, and commending tbe Boston and Cincinnati Societies, and our Agency. Other cccleata&UcU bodies whtcb have not yet held their Annual Meeting for ISGO, will doubtless take similar action. Boeion and. Cincinnati Socidue. —At their Annual Meeting, held Oct. 5, 1860, the Boston Society adopted resolutions approving of tbe Agency, and desiring to co operate with it, and referring to the Secretary ot the Society, who would be presentai tbe Convention at Chicago, to arrange details fora more intimate connec tion if desired. Tbo Cincinnati Society at their annual meet ing, held Sept. 25, ISCt), adopted resolutions setting forth that it was ** restrained by the conditions of self-preservation from entering into any arrangement that would devolve upon another body, m no manner responsible to it, tbe work of soliciting lands to sustain its opa rations, and at the same time would debar tbe Society itself from coming before tbo Churches with the presentation of us peculiar character, and tbe special and distinct advocacy of its spe cial and distinct claims—the Churches, espe cially on this Western tield, where is its proper home, and where its principal support is to bo sought.” And “ that the Boatd of Directors be instructed to correspond with the United West ern Tract Agency, and empowered to enter into any arrangemeuts not inconsistent” with their resolutions- The Treasurer, Mr. Tathill King, presented bis report, the main features ot wnicn are em braced in tbe report of tbe Secretary, showing a balance of resource* on band of s2*o. Tbe Convention being open for business, a delegate stated that he did not understand the effect of the resolution adopted by the Cincin nati Society at their Annual meeting. Thought they were not ready to act til this was under stood, and would call upon the Seretary of that body, who is here, for an explanation. Mr. Secretary f Cincinnati Society— It means simply that we must actindepeudrot ly, tsking the field and doing the best wo can. If in any way wo are able to cooporaU, we will do so gladly, bat we cannot give np the whole field to tbe Agency. Qiestion—What co-operatioa can bohaJf Dr. Blanchard—l understand that tbe Society wish a friendly conference with tho Convention, and moved that tbe matter be referred to the business committee. Passed. After discussion as to the propriety of seed ing the matter to tbe Committee, or having it first understood and explained to the Conven tion, tbe Convention went into a Committee of the whole upon the question in relation to the eo operation of tbe Cincinnati Society with the Agency. Dr. Mead, Secretary of Cincinnati Society, being called upon, stated that the Society was founded years ago; bad struggled long under adverse ciicumstances, but for a long time was gaining ground, the peculiar character of their books commending them to tbe anti slavery port of the community. Us old ene mies have become its Iriende, He bad gone in to Old School Presbvterian Churches, whose doors were closed to the American Tract Soci ety of New York, and b«cn gladly welcomed. They roost cominuo to go forward independ ently. The practical working of the Agency was cutting them off. It had been hoped at first that it would be a source of increased revenue to them, bat under the system of last year, not one-half bad be- n received of their usual contributions. They needed funds as their efforts were confined to publishing. They thoughtthey could work more efficiently if they took the field alone. Very many individuals felt an interest in the Society Irom its aotece dents, which would not pass away. Wished their publi attous circulated, and if some way reconciling all tbe complications were pointed ont would be glsd to cooperate; but a butines view of tbe matter showed that the Society lost, financially, by the cooperation. Declaimed any ic£s that they held aloof from tbe cause or tbe movement, bat each, having the same general end in view rra*t prosecute it in such manner as would advance particular interests. Dr. Ajdcloti, of Cincinnati Society, being called upon, Slid: 1 feel surprise- that tbe resolution* adopted at tbe annual meeting did not Ds-e tho matter dear. If he bad time to go into a historical reviewof the different Tract societies, be could explain it. The Cincinnati Society claims a peculiar and distinctive char acter, distinct equally from the New York or Boston Societies, and so claim tbe right of dis tinct advocacy of its distinct claims. The ope ration of tbe agency, woile doing them little good, was to keep them from the field. They bad supposed that it would have aided them, bat subsequent developments had proven oth erwise. They questioned not tbe spirit, aim or charao cr of tbta or any other organization, and wished this distinctly understood. The distinction between them and the Boston Society was. that they looked upon slavery as a sin in itself, while the Boston Society regard ed only the accidental evils growing out of the relation. Preferred to bare the matter referred to a Committee where the whole matter coaid be talked over. Rev. Mr. Parrox—The plan of co operation or no co-operation must certainly he elaborated by a Committee, but these general considera tions should be brought before the Convention, In order that they may appreciate and consider the action of the Committee. He wanted to know what was the specific difference between the two Societies that should give one a range over the field and not the other. If he under stood tbe statements of Mr. Warren last even log, the feeling of the Boston and Cincinnati Societies were tbe same on the subject of slav- Iteva. Mr. Wolcott, Ray, Startevant, Joslyn, Nichols and Savage engaged in the discussion, the result of which was thee. Ring forth of Rev. Dr, Aydellott, of the Board of Directors of the Cincinnati Society. Ua had wished to avoid this position, because be deemed it unwise, but yielded in deference to their wishes. About tbo year 1522 tbe present American Tract Society was formed in New York. It seen- ed to meet the wants of all bodies of evan- gelical cb iatians and went on nobly. Previous to ibis lime a Society had existed in Boston, having tbs stuns views and doing the same work. The two practically merged, tbe Bea ton Society retaining Ua civil character as a cor porate £ody, bat sharing rcßpocsioUitlea and lionor- wiib 2>a Xa. Vork Society. In the meantime «»• Amenc-.n mmd had be gun to take up the an&jtFt of American slavery in it* religious Tfce feeling increased strongly, till at length the tide reached the So ciety in New York. They could not stay the flood, and though not 40 submit to sub mit to the demands expressed, yet they could not well ignore their tastence. It resulted ia the appointing a committee of fifteen to suggest' some coarse of action is tbe premises, tbe com plaint being that tbo .Jfew York Si.ciety was not doing its whole work, in leaving out the subject oi slavery from ny notice ia their pub lications, Tbe Committee reported Resolutions that certainly need not bare frightened tbe most conservative. Their gist was. that the Society could not g j into tbe political aspects of slav ery. bnt that tracts sboal£ be published on tee duties and evils growing «ut of the relation of master and sieve. Though by many this report was deemed but a hollow truce, it was a»woled. The Secretary of the S*-T*rty saw (hat if they complied with these rei&iuoos, restricted as they were, it would arm*? tbe feeling of the South in opposition to tbe Society, and u would lose Istge lields of labor and a great share of contribution to its funds; He therefore tock upon himself to disobey them, and would not eren publish on (be incidental evils of slavery. As a matter of worldly wisdom be undoubtedly acted wisely, for if the subject was once touch* od there could be no stopping place till Us foundations were reashed, Belying on the so called conservatism of the body, it was pre ferred to meet the indignation of tlio Society rather than the indignation of tbo South. It Is unnecessary to recall tho stormy assston of the next annual meeting oi the Society. Suffice it to say, the battle was fought, and tbo action of the Secretary was endorsed^ It was thought by others that something should bo done. The Bcstoh Society adopted tbs resolutions of the Committee of i'iileen a? a standpoint In the meantime, foreseeing that nothing would result from the action of tbo Society at New York, certain men went ahead in advance, end founded the Cincinnati Society, and an nounced in their preamble the reasons impel ling them co to do. Their action on the sub ject of slavery was not left to be inferrid. To prevent coy nrsnnderstanding, this was elated as the distinct reason why the Society was or ganized. Its opponents represented it as an Abolition Society, Ac. Bat, knowing its posi tion, and daring to maintain it, it bad on, bearing to the whole world, humbly and meek ly. its protest against American elavery .through all those troublous times. The Boston Society went on, oot holding out Initaplatf rm, or constitution, any opposition to slavery, but adopt*d the Rwolutioos of the Committee of Fifteen, not placing * pposiuou to slavery or slavebotding in any cl its fundamen tal doctrines. Not long after, a notice appeared in a Massa cbusetts'paper, offering a premium reward for a ract, to be approved by a committee, having as the subject a Prayer tor thn Oppressed- 1 saw at once this call meant a real, buna fide, Christian anti-slavery tract, coin,:to the rootef the matter. I said to myself, if tbe successful tract meets tbe thing squarely, the Boston So ciety cannot consistently publish it, for their field, as announced, is the evils growing out of tbe (elation, not the am of the relation il.:clL A tract was approvrd by tbe Committee on Premiums. It was published by tbe Biston Society, but maite-’was appended to it, ex tracts from a sermon by a successful Christian minister. t wish it understood that on this subject I acknowledge there m»/ be and ore co-.aoien tious Ciffjrenc‘B of opioion which [ respect. I ordy go over this ground to point out the his torical course of the different societies. My impression at that time was that the pres sure o anti-slavery opinion b d forced the pub lication of tbe tract itself, but that ilk- pressure in the other direction hao mads it a matter of pohey for the B «eton rh'ciety to bring forward what they considered the antidote. Fir it seemed to me tbe addendum wus in direct col lision with the spirit of tbe tract. Tbe trect tbo Circiauati Society wi-hed to pobli-ii, but tt could only get permission from the Boston Society to do io on condition that it published the other also. Tnis we eoald not do without ttii-liiying aurrelvcs, for we r*gsrded the t <. as discordant. Thiawasthemiasimous imnreasivu of or Hoard , * ! jvgurd the course ol both Societies an in direst accordance r ith the platforms they start ed from. Th<* Boston Society a sennen of Dr. Young’s on the subject, wlu.h virtually en dorsed slavery stan institution foritdiscoursed upon the duties of the relation, virtuabv imply ing the lawfulness of such relation. Too Cin cinnati Society would not have entertained a thought of puulishiug such a tract. Tbe Society in New Yoik had gone on, doing all its duty, with the exception that it designed Iv omitted to publish amthing on tbe surject of slavery. The Boston Society bad gone on, doing iu duty, taking its platform as a stand point. Ooc thleg should be remembered. No matter ho* pious or talented a representative from such a Society might be, it was evident there would be constantly a temptation to represent the matter differ- mly in different atmoipocres, and under the circumstances, the Boston Socie ty could rcid lv assume a strong or weak posi tion on the subject of s.avery, as circumstances might seem to demand. Look at the Christian the organ of our Society, and you will see our views i<et out plainly at ail times. But the Tract Journal, the organ of the Boston Society has hut the same evangelical character as the Amtricin Metun grr % «ho organ of the New York Society, not showing any distinctive character os an organ of aa Ami Slavery Tract Soeie'y, except some articles in tbs lirst two cumbers. The Cincinnati Society will enter into so co operation whereby it may become absorbed, so that its distinctive character will be 'or wish it to be understood that we do not oppose, in thei respective walks, the New York or Boston Society, bat for onrrelve* we bate held and will hold ap the onti-sUvery standard and we doubt not that the time will come, and is fast approaching, when both will advance so far that they will stand upon o irplatform. In their advancing operations, the outposts of the Boston and Cinetnrati Societies meet at their ground, and a co-operation is urged. 1 recokruze Christian co operation as an import* ant, beautiful Christian pri eiple, bat there is one thing more valuable, and that is individual conscience. This they could no] overlook or put dewn. They were ready to eater into any co-operation which would not call upon them to sink or ignore their distinct and peculiar prin ciple or characteristic. Kev. J. . Warren, Secretary of the Boston Society, said: I am glad these remarks have been made by my much esteemedßro. Aydclott. Though honesty entertained, doubtless, his views in detail and in matter are erroneous, so far as concerns the Society at Boston. The an ti'Sla- ery matters are not in its constitution,for that was adopted in ISU. For eleven years from teat time they retained 'a distinct inde pendence as a National Society, and In that early period published anti-slavery tracts, among which was the noted " Negro Servant," by Leigh Richmond. During its period of ossociflVon with the New York Society, it did not lose its identity. The New York Society never extended its op erations over the four Northern New England States, but the itoston Society itself filled that field, as a Society, baring its own system of operations, its own organizations, receipts, memberships, anniversaries and Annual Report. The money raised on its own field was never given u> the New York Society for general pur- | poses, but was always designated to particular objects; the Soc ; ety being simply employed as a channel for expenditure. Its entire series of tracts were published by the New York Society, and in such as anti slavery matter occurred, all anti alavery matter was stricken out. „ . Question by Delegate—Did the Boston Socie ty Know of these revisions? Toe probability was that the Boston Society did not know of the mutilations at the time, its attention not being directed to that matter- As soon as these began to be agitated, about ten or fifteen years ago, it began to create un easiness, resulting in a formal conference be* tween the New York and Boston So leties, for the purpose of allaying the excitement felt by the latter. Plausible explanations were given and a virtual acquiescence was made. In 1650, wb«u the memorable Committee of Fifteen reported, the general undemanding was that t>o New Yoik Society were to publisa on the subject of slavery. This is evide-ttrom the (act that the vote was uoaoim ms for those res elutions. Believing this to be the true Inter pretation of those resolutions, the Boston So cle y adopted them as their platform of ae'ion At the subsequent Annual Meeting cf the New York Society, it became evident that two views could be taken as to those resolutions. There fore the Boston Soci ty resolved to separata but yet herd on lor another year, hoping for something .torn the New York Society, la 1859 the separation was made, on the ground that the Society bad not obeyed the iostruo ti3ni of the Committee. The anion was then dissolved, and anticipating any doubt that might be attached to (their interpretation of the meaning of those resolutions, e -re was tak* en to place the mat er beyond all douot by a most solemn expression oi their views as shown in an official statement as published in the An nual Report oi 1559 as fo lews: « The prinaip I occasion which led to tbl measure,*os U well known, wasthe me ion bad I last year in respect to publishing on slavery. j Tfie groaod then taken by this society is be* i lievedto be right and wjse. That a great Chris- | tian institution, existing forthe sole purpose of giving utterance to evangelical troth on impor tant subjects of bnman duty and destiny in a time like this. when slavery is trampling with increased violence oo the most precious rights of mao. audaciously reviving that most erects ble traffic which bod once been outlawed as pi racy by the voice of united Obrutendom/ahould have something to say of it in the name ot Christ and hamanhr, seems too plain to be made, even for a moment, a matter of hesita tion. Not do they intend that this utterance shall be a doubtful or evasive one, baviog re spect only to the “morel duties’' and" evils” ot slavery, and saying nothing of slavery itselC We regard it as the very chief of the evils of slavery that it is a sin against God, and of the duties growing ont of it, that it should be re pented of as a sis, with work following meet for I repentance." Question by a Delegate—ls this matter of tbe Secretary an official report, or bis personal statemeLt? It wasft statement of aaofficeroftheSociety, and the same matter was officially published in tbe first number of the Traci Journal, having been read in proof by the Committee of the Boston Society. As towbetherthe Tract Jour nal has been silent cn this subject, 1 would read from the last number a strong and pointed article against slavery itself, demanding ag gressive action, because slavery bad made, and u.u«t from its nature continue to moke, aggres sive assaults upon Christianity. As to the tract of Dr. Young's, U was hoped at the time that the New York Society would publish it. It was well known bow far they went. It was stereotyped, and impressions styled and headed 41 Proof Impressions’* were struck otf and circulated. Finding that the South did not like it, the circulation was re called. Subsequently tbe tra t was published in New York as the “Suppressed Tract.” The Boston Committee hearing of the action cf tba New York Society, endeavored to obtain the stereotype p'ater, but found they had been sold for type metaL Tracing them up, they discovered them and flsbsd them piece by piece out of similar rubbish, and nsnj tboee plates in republishing that tiact. Tbe tract was published mainly to show that tbe Boston Society would publish what the Jf. Y. Society dare not. A prefatory cote was added to theeffceiihat so far aa tbe tract might seem to countenance slavery, the Society disclaimed sneh portion. At this point the Contention adjourned tU the afternoon. AtTKIUVOOX FE4SION* The Contention resumed business at tiro o’clock. Rev. Mr. Warren desired to add one or two remarks to those made by him prior to the close of the morning session. One w&s that the impression which seemed to prevail that the Society at Boston was overiiowieg with funds was erroneous. That Society oh commencing its publication work one year ago had no means tor so doing, except a small balance remaining of the receipts from soles the preceding year, and its stock of books on bond. These consti tuted its sole business capital. Baring the year this had been aided by about £5.000 contributed for Ib&t purpose by individ uals. in addition to which a portion of tbe legacies received were temporarily appro-' priated for that purpose. The only reliance of the Society hereafter was in the intrinsic merit and attractiveness of its hooka. It was believed that such books might be issued as would re place their cost of publication from their sales. They did not come to ask the church s of the West to give them money to enable them to psbtUb, .nd thou to buy tbe books so published, thus paying for them twice. Tbe other point to which be would advert was the plea of the brethren from Cincinnati for special favors on the Western field on ac count ct tbe obloquy they had suffered because of their fidelity to free dom. He did not doubt the fact of such ob loquy, but he would ask if it was imagined that tbe Society at Boston had cot suffered some thing also from the same cause. Let it be re membered that there had been long and iotim.te associations with tbe Society at New York, and there were numerous ti,s of personal i teresc and attachment between them. Were these ties sundered, by the action of their BoKton brethren without pain? And have they endured norepro cbes, no misrepresentations, and no abuse in consequence? Iftbe whole history of this matter were fully spread out, he could assure the Contention, it would disclose facts in compari son with which the wrong done to the Cincinnati brethren would appear rm.dl. Bat wo do not complain of this; it is an incident of oar histo ry which we are willing to refer to the Judg ment; cor do we ask any special favor oa ac count of it. Ho oa’y desired that when tbe special claims of un nher institution are urged, 03 a reason for *he eujiyme tof special privi leges, it should bo known that the same pleas might equally well be urged by tl cm. He was willing to submit tbe whole matter to the good sense'and Christian feeling of this Convention. Ur. Warren then went into a<‘eUUed nauoo r««p-cting tbe publication of tbe premi um tract on “Prayer f »rthe Oppressed,” to the effect that the ap end&ge rete-iei to by Br, Aydelott was a parr of a sermon by Kov, Br. Kirk, irasrted cbittly to fid the black pages Bit at tbe fil l; ibat it was first suom tted in proof to tbe offerer of tbe premium and the author of the tract, cud accepted by them; that aft* rit vit puSU>hed 9 v arm as'.on was fully grunted to tbe A.

Kuk, the Chairman of its I'aolication Cumniittee, chnuld not bo misrepresented n the U’tsr, and that they hail proposed to save the Cincinnati S.vct ety'the vxpeu.se of s'.trro.ypmg she tr-.ct bv offering to print it for them,w.th thrir own im print, and lit'Ut-h it for them at lower rates than tbvy could print it for themselves, which proposal, however, had cot been accepted. himself, and the B s on Society, enter (aice-i only tbe most cordial feeling* toward tbe Cincinnati Society, They were ready to strike bauds wish them an brothers, ba; be must protest against the representations too frequently made of tbe principles, feelings aad plans of the Boston Society on tbe subject of Though not acqn.il.ited with all the publications ot the So levy a*. Cincinnati he was not aware of any thing issued bv them which might not he published also by the Boston So ciety, were there a eulllcient cause for doing so. We hare been thus full in presenting tbe statements of the representatives of the two Societies on this subject, for the reason that it pi esents from a new stand-point the subject so recently agitating to i a centre the American Tract Scclety of New York, which at the time, received so large a share of wublic attention, R=r. J. P. Patterson addressed the Conven tion during the absence of tbo Business Com mittee. After referring to the discussion of the morn ing os illustrating the benetii derived from mu tual open explanations, he proceeded to inqnire the cause of the decline ol public interest in the tract cause as indicated by the thin attend ance of the pterions evening and of to dav, compared with the overflow!’ g ,rowds former ly present upon these occasions. O e cause be thought to be the former undue exaltation of the Traci cause out of its proper relations, and the gorgeous representations made of its results. The query could not but arise. How much more can these Tract Socie ties do, and how much more do they do, than our bumble home missionaries? This undue boasting bad been rebuked by the falling off here and elsewhere noticed. Another came was tbesjetem of centralization pursued, locating all tlie power orer a largo bod/ of ministers and colporteurs in the lianas cf a few at a centre. The papular feeling was against an/ each hierarcoal or prelatie power. There most be some system which will com* bine tbe beneSts of a central administration with the advantages of local superintendence, eimilir to tbe coarse pursued in foreign mis sionary fields. The churches must superin tend the work aro md them. The spirit of our insulations to erect an ecclesiastical Roue at cor centres will not bo brooked for on/ length of time. A change in this respect will bring back the confidence ol the people in the managers of our great institutions. He was glad to see that the Boston Society bad recognized this feeling and was acting upon it. Another canto is the lack ofconfidancccaused by the failure of the American Tract Society at >ew York to handle the subject of slavery with f uflicient firmness. This bad operated m tho same manner as the failure of one mercantile firm embarrasses the relations of many. Ue referred to the antecedents of tbe Boston Society and read extracts showing that Its early history showed a dubious record on tbe slavery question. In order to regain the public confidence, it was necessary that the Boston Society shall place upon record some authoritative action showing its position upon tbe snb ( ect. The afternoon was consumed in a discussion upon a plan for the fotare operations of the Agency, which was complicated by the action of tho Cincinnati Society at its last Annual Meeting, practically withdrawing from co-ope ration with tbe Tract Agency. , Several substitutes were ottered for the reso- Imions reposted by tbe Business Committee, resulting in the adoption of the following reso- lotions M RriJrrJ.
