THE RELIGIOUS ANNIVERSARIES.—Our columns continue to be filled with the reports of the doings at the religious anniversaries. Much of this matter, displaying as it does the benevolent and religious movements of the day, is of great interest to the public, and will merit the attention of all thinking men. The Hon. Theodore Frelinghuysen, it will be seen, holds a conspicuous place among the actors in these interesting meetings. How much of good, and of benevolence, is there in the movements and doings of the Tract Society, of the Home Missionary Society, and of other societies, whose meetings have been, or are to be held. The Anti-Slavery people have been addressed, we see, by Alvin Stewart, their principal orator, Lloyd Garrison, Abbey Kelley, and that crew are going, we learn, to shake off the dust of their feet against this city, and to pitch their camp in Boston. They cannot, it seems, get up steam enough here. Well—adieu, a cheerful adieu! The Socialists, with their orator, Mr. Collins, and his assistant, Mr. Rose, held another meeting last night. The come-outers have not yet appeared in public. Three new sects, we may add, have sprung into vitality the past year, these Come-Outers, the Fourierites, or Associationists, and the Socialists. How many more shall we have for a year to come? Who can tell?—New York Express.
