(ho address of Theodore D. Weld, which was divided

between the afternoon and evening scciioM.

The address ot Mr. Weld upon " The Conspirators—

their Kalno Issues and Lying Pretences," was uno of

masterly ability, elegant in It! diction, oxhausliio In

its argument, massive in its logic, nt times poetic nnd

sublime in its rhetoric, mid eloquent In Its delivery.

And although il was of unusual length, and gathered

up a long array of facts, nnd detail of issues of past

interest, yet tbu great power evinced In argument, nnd

the beauty of delivery, endhilned his hearers in rapt

nnd undivided otlention.

So much interest was felt by Ihe meeting In Ilia

addresses, that the Society voted to Instruct theirSecre-
