Public sentiment in New York.
William Lloyd Garrison, the president of the "American Anti-slavery Society," has issued a bulletin informing its members that the annual meeting of that society, to take place in the ensuing month, will be held at Syracuse, New York. Heretofore, he says, these meetings have been uniformly held in the city of New York, but that now "no meeting house or hall in that great city can be procured, either for the love of liberty or for gold, for the accommodation of the society. Neither in the adjacent city of Brooklyn can any suitable building be obtained for this purpose." The peaceable and orderly people of the great city may, we think, with reason congratulate themselves on this riddance.
