would not be the glory reaped upon the crimson field amidst the
carnage and the din of war. Their victory would not be a victory
achieved by the use of carnal weapons, effecting the freedom of one
man by the destruction of another. Their victory would be a victory
won by the potency of principles drawn from the Gospel of the Prince

inscribed upon its ample folds--a motto which, though oft abused, had
oft sustained them in the hour of conflict--was, Fiat Justicia ruat
Coelum.

one of Mr. Thompson's triumphs at Boston.

Mr. May introduced a resolution denouncing the Colonization
Society as unworthy of patronage, because it disseminates

Mr. Gurley replied. He finished the consideration of Mr.
May's objections, went into an exposition of the advantages
of the Colonization Society, and contrasted its claims with
those of the Anti-Slavery Society. In doing this, he
exhibited a handbill, having a large cut of a negro in
chains, with some inflammatory sentences under it. Here he
was interrupted by hisses, which were answered by clapping.
Mr. George Thompson rose and attempted to address the
meeting. This increased the confusion, Cries of "sit
down--shame--be silent--let Mr. May answer if he can--no
