SUMMARY OF EVENTS.

ANTI-SLAVERY.-100 new Societies have been added to the list during the last quarter. The State Society of Ohio celebrated its anniversary on the 27th of April in a noble spirit. It resolved to raise $10,000 during the year, $4,500 of which was pledged on the spot. The American Society had a most animating anniversary in New-York on the 10th May. It will endeavor to raise $50,000 during the year. The subscriptions amounted to $21,000. The New England Convention met in Boston on the 24th May-a multitudinous, high-souled, never tiring assembly of fearless men and women. Subscriptions were made to the amount of about $7,000. The hardy yeomanry of New Hampshire celebrated their state anniversary on the 2d of June and subscribed more than $1,200 to help forward the good cause. Abolitionism has more than doubled, in one year, under the 'death blows' of its enemies.

FREE STATE LEGISLATION.-Maine, Connecticut, New-York and Ohio have resolutionized the spirit of Anti-Slavery to hold its peace. Massachusetts had a set of Anti-Abolition resolutions reported for adoption, and Rhode Island a gag law. Both were indefinitely postponed. In the one case the abolitionists were heard and their opponents were glad to retreat in silence; in the other, they were invited to plead their cause, but when the day came, the advocates of gaglaw threw down their "bill" and ran. The Committee to whom the subject was referred in the legislature of Pennsylvania brought in a report worthy of freedom. They asserted the right, in the most unqualified terms, to discuss slavery and to endeavor to abolish it in the District of Columbia. There was, of course, proslavery enough in the legislature to postpone this report. In the mean time the people of Pennsylvania will have an opportunity to ruminate upon it.

CONGRESSIONAL.-The Post Office censorship bill passed to its third reading by the casting vote of the Vice President, but was finally lost by a majority of 25 to 19. The grand sedative movement, in the House of Representatives, at the head of which Mr. Pinckney of South Carolina was placed, has resulted in a viofation of the Constitution, by which the right of petition is prostrated.

ARKANSAS-Has come into this Union with a mill-stone around her neck. Her constitution forbids the abolition of slavery. The crime was committed silently. The representatives of the people were made sensible that a slaveholder sat in the Speaker's chair. Ex-President Adams had the floor, the question being before the House on the passage of the bill. Little did it avail him, for even after fairly recognizing his right to the floor, the Speaker permitted the gag of the "previous question" to be applied, and was sustained by the House!!

TEXAS.-The victory of Houston, has rejoiced this nation as the bullock is rejoiced at the corn which toles him to the slaughter-house. If we think that Mexico and the free nations will let their swords peacefully rust in their scabbards while we are making six slave states on the soil of a sister republic, it is only another proof how blind God can make a people whom He pleases to punish.
