------= ------------ From W. Y. Tribune. Anti-Slavery Anniversary. The Anniversary of the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society was held on Tuesday afternoon in the Broadway Taber- nacle, Arthur Tappan, Esq., in the chair. The audience was large and respectable, and although there were a few present who, it-was evident from their conduct, dissented from the sentiments of the speak- ersand the spirit of the meeting, the greatest enthusiasm was manifested in the proceed- ings by the majority of the audience, The mecting was opened with prayer by Rey. George Whipple, after which several letters were read from absent friends of the cause, among whom were some Mission- aries in the Sandwich Islands. The Annual Report, of which the follow- ing is an abstract, was read by the Secretary, Lewis Tappan, followed by a seri¢s of re- solutions. The Report narrates the labor of the year, bouks published, papers cireu- lated. d&c. It refers to the visit and address ' to Kosstith, and regrets that. he was not ore emphatic in asserting his adherance the principles for which he struggled in Hungary. Allusion is made to the Fugi- tive Law, and.its operation in the case of Preston and others, &e. The Report also notices the defeat' of the Government in the Christiana treason trials ; the indignant feeling of the people in regard to Slavery, which appears in conventions, resolutions, addresses, &c.; the alarm of theslave States in regard to the increasing number of free colored persons ; the aid extended to fugi- tives in Canada ; the efforts of the Coloniza- _ tion Society ; the duty of aiding free color- ed persons to attain a proper social position, &c.- It refers to Mr, Webster's statement, that nature had forbidden the introiuction of Slavery into New Mexico and California; to the attempt to divide California so as to make another slave State; the insulting language of the Governor of New Mexico to free people of color, and his recommen- dation of a Jaw to keep them ou' of the Territory. The law of Oregon forbidding negroes to reside in the 'Territory is con- trasted with the Mormon repudiation of Slavery. The report states that. kidnap- ping is more common in the Free States than peopleare aware of, the Fugitive Slaye act affording facilities for it. The imprison- ment of colored seamen is commented upon, and also the evils and dang+rs impending over the South by reason of Slavery. Re- solutions were presented maintaining the sinfulness of slavery ; that it is a reproach to our boasted free Republic; that the spirit of Caste is nearly allied to Slavery in turpitude; that the Fugitive Slave Law is an outrage and should be disobeyed and execrated ; that they discountenance coercive expatriation (colonization) ; that they sympathize with the colored, bond or free; that they honor the true men who legislate for right and justice; that they call upon woman fo use.all her influence in favor of the cause; that they rebuke the editorial expurgation of books and papers in obedience to Slavery'sdemand ; that they return thanks to the friends of the oppres- sed in Canada; that they urge union and effort, and hope for victory. When the resolutions were read, Hon. E. D. Culver addressed the meeting, He said, the subject matter which has been brought out by your resolutions, will doubtless be made the occasion of severe denunciation upon the heads of those who participate in this anniversary. We shall he denounced by a portion of the press and some of the politicans--not that they will take issue upon these resolutions, or the sentiments that may be ayowed, but they will denounce us because: we come here to talk upon and agitate the subject of Slavery. It seems that an edict has gone over cer- tain quarters interdicting an agitation of the questions brought out by these resolu- tions, Thus we are to be denounced be- cause we seek to abolish a bad law by agitating for its repeal. lf you press those men who speak so loudly against agitation for their reasons for doing so, they will say these questions have been settled and ad- justed. and hence any man tis presumes to talk upon them will be considered an enemy to the Union. If you find a man who talks at present just as Millard Fillmore did thirteen years ago, or as Daniel Web- ster did but four years aro, you will also find that he is a subject of general denun- ciation. Rey. J. P. Raymond, a colored Baptist minister of this city, quite blind, was intro- duced to the audience. He spoke with much force against what he termed the foolish prejudice of caste, a prejudice which jie said had done much even in Northern States to injure the cause of the slave. His remarks were enlivened with a number of anecdotes, which were told with consider- able humor. The mecting was next addressed by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, who spoke of the Fugitive Slave Law from a religious point of view, IJtis, said he, the religious senti- ment which gives heart and life to the movement for its abolition. It is because Christ is a living God, and because his spirit, which led him to give himself for us, animates our efforts. Amnirnated by that _ Spirit there are men who are willing to give themselves up for the cause. This is the secret of our strength and vitality, and I 2 Cte, are awe S oa that spirit, dearly as a own family, L love the cause of God better, and would sacrifice all other interests to it. Asking us, therefore, to give up this cause, is ask- ing us to forswear the spirit which God has breathed into us. There will always be an agitating party in this country while this great subject for agitation. remains. Mr. B. dwelt at considerable length upon the influence which religion exercised upon the question of slavery, and contended that only through religious influences could the emancipation of the slaves be effected. He then concluded by exhorting his hearers and all who desired the freedom of the slave to pray for the instrumentality of re- ligion in his behalf. Reciprocity with the West Indies. Abridged from the Toronto Globe, Many months ago we called public atten- tion to the great benefit which might accrue to Canada and the British West Indies, by a mutual arrangement for the admission of the products of either country into the ports of the other free from duty or at a,reduced rate of impost. 'The present moment seems well adapted for recurring to this important question and urging its consideration on the public mind. In the year ending 30th June, 1850, the United States sent to the British West Indies, merchandize to the amount of $3,791,446--the chief articles being as follows :--- Flour . ; t : Pork and Lard Indian Meal $1,095,993 512,330 330,446 Lumber . : 282,387 Candles and Soap 155,782 Cattle and Beef . ; 135,620 Indian Corn 130,848 Ship Biscuit (!) 124,986 Butter and Cheese 120,258 Horses 3 : ' 3 86,114 Masts, Oars, and other manu- factures of wood 66,605 Rye, Oats, de. .

P i 1,090 Sheep 9,725 Wheat 8,650 Shoes ; 7,391 Beer and Ale 4,929 Apples : 2 > 3,348 $3,235,546 All these articles, it will be observed, Canada could supply quite as well.as the United States--some of them better and cheaper. Nay nota small proportion of these very articles sent to the West Indies y the Americans, were, the produce of Oanada--purehased here and sold there by our enterprising neighbors, with around profit. Now, what do the West Indians obtain from the Americans in return for this lucrative trade? In the year ending June, 1850, the whole purchases of the United States from tbe 'British West Indies, amounted to $815,756--about a fifth of what they sent there. The chief items were as follows :-- | Salt 7 . $287,936 Coffee "154,252 MMENTO dat 4g oe 185,385 Old Iron, Copper, Brass, Lead, and Pewter : P : 70,913 Spits 34,871 Raw Hides 20,206 Fine Woods 15,269 Sugar (Brown) ; a 5,908 Molasses 3 : . 5,U81 Indigo 3,530) Coeya 3,211 $686,562 In this traffic it will be observed, there are only three items of any inportance-- Salt, Coffee, and Pimento, Now, these three articles Brother Jonathan must take from the West Indies, for he can find them no- where else of the same quality, The West Indians are therefore under no restriction, so far as their existing connection with the States is concerned, from entering: into any advantageous arrangements elswhere. They can suffer no loss from any retaliation by the Americus. ; r How much more profitable and satisfac- tory than this might the tratlie be made between Canada and the West Indies! At present, there is scarcely any direct trade between the two Colonies, Our whole sales to them in 1851, amounted to £2,094-- our whole purchases from them, to £1,112. And this while (as we have seen) their purchases from the United States, of articles we have for sale were large and valuable. Brother Jonathan, with his prohibitory duties and selfish restrictive system, stands between us as broker, and takes the cream of the milk of both; and we are foolish enough to let him do it with our eyes wide open, looking at him. Now let us look at the other side, and see what inducements we 'have to offer in exchange for the West India trade. In the year ending 5th January 1851, Canada imported the following amounts ; don't Hesitate to dective that if guided by Salt. 5 £22,950 Coffee .° : 29,267 Pimento AP (say) 6,000. Spirits 2,856 Raw Hides 52,543 Sugar o 173,315 Molasses ' ' 21,617 Indigo . (say) 6,100 Cocoa : i 444 £311,992 Here isa trade of $1.247,968 per annum, open to the West Indians--two-thirds of which is now done with the United States, and would be immediately affected by such a commercial arrangement such as we have suggested. The Lost is Found. No. 5. In No. 4 we left Smith and his hunting dog, surrounded and kept at bay fora short time, by the blood hounds; but there being only three of them in number, they were soon killed or compelled to retreat. Smith had prepared himself with a heavy club for self-defence, and at the approach of the blood-hounds, his dog seized one of them by theneck and held him fast, which resulted in bringing the dogs all into a bloody fight, during which engagement Smith succeeded in killing two of the blood-hounds with his club. and the other was glad to escape with his life, which was in great danger. This victorious struggle, by the aid of the faith- ful hunting dog, endeared him to his mas- ter stronger than ever; for without his aid Smith must have been taken back into sla- very. From thence they proceeded north to the Virginia and Ohio line, which oceu- pied seyeral nights, They travelled by night and kept con- cealed by day, until they reached the above river with no other guide than the north star. In wandering up and down the stream to find a conveyance to cross in he saw a large steamboat passing down the stream, which confirmed him in the belief that this was the Ohio river, having heard much about the steamboats running that. river. He at length found a skiff tied toa tree on the shore, in which he ferried himself across, leaving his dog behind, but he had not proceeded far before he discovered that the dog had plunged into the stream and was close behind the boat, and succceded in crossing even before his master, The next morning he saw an old gentle man in the woods chopping some poles, to whom he yentured to speak, and in whom he found a friend and an abolitionist. This friend took him and his dog with him home, and after giving them some refreshments sent them on to another friend about thirty miles distance, who gave him employment for five years, and while there his valuable dog died. He was engaged in agricultural pursuits and preached occasionally among the people of color in) that vicinity. From thenee he cameto Huron Co., Ohio, where he purchased a small farm and lived on, it about seven years, having given up all hopes of ever seeing his wife again : but in the fall of 1850, after the enactment of the Fugitive Slave Bill, the news came to him that a warrant was out for him, and that if he did not flee away to Canada, he would be taken asa slave. On the strength of this report, at a very great sacrifice, he sold his property and canie to Canada. While travelling about. among his fugitive brethren, and occasionally telling where he was originally from, he found a man who told him he knew a woman in Canada who was, from near Richmond, Virginia, who had once belonged to a man there by the name of Wm. Wright, and that he sold her, &¢. This'of course aroused Mr. Smith's curiosity to see the woman; so. he went the next, day to where he had been told that she lived. As he approached the house he he saw a female whom he thought resembled '" Fanny," his long bereft wife ; and, as he approached her with trembling, lest he might be mistaken he offered his hand and ventured to call her by her former name, to which she answered with astonishment. At this moment her eyes sparkled and flashed like strokes of lightning upon his furrowed cheeks and wrinkled brow, and with uplifted hands and joyful heart she exclaimed from the depths of her soul, " Oh! is this my beloved husband who I never again expected to see ?" 'To this appeal there was a glorious response on the part of the husband ; they embraced each other in the bonds of christian love and wept aloud for joy, and glorified God with their bodies and spirits, which are his, for his great mercy in bringing them toge- gether again on this eapth; and they are now living happily together on the Qneen's " Free Soil." f 'Their children have all been scattered and sold apart, so that the mother knows rot where they are: she ran away from her master in Kentucky in 1847, and has been in Canada about three years. Thus we must end the Narrative of Mr. and Mrs, Smith which might be lengthened, but our mits will not permit. Wefwproes? Wome Socicty. Report or E. P. Bennam.--continued. OHIO. Liverpoo.: \ S. W.
