A "John Brown" meeting broken up in Boston. Boston, Dec. 3 --A John Brown meeting, called by the abolitionists, assembled in the Maconic Temple to-day. The Temple was taken possession of by the Union men, who chose Richard Sullivan Fay, Chairman, and passed resolutions denouncing John Brown, justifying his execution and landing Virginia. Fred Douglas, Redpath, Frank Sanborn, and other notorious abolitionists, vainly endeavored to make themselves heard. Much confusion prevailed, and the police were called, and the hall was cleared and closed by order of the Mayor.

He blinded to the future possibility of Sumner, or Fred Douglas--one of Virginia's runaway negroes — being elected to the Presidency Thousands of men at the North, in their hatred for slavery, were ready to do this thing to humiliate the South. Give him war, pestilence, famine, anything sooner than that.

such a weapon in the hands of those who dispute the capacity of the people to govern themselves that no future country would ever make the attempt till the crack of doom. The Inspired volume forbids us to speak "evil of dignities," and, therefore, after the 4th of March next, when Lincoln becomes one of the dignities we shall not call him a fool or an ass. His absurd utterances on the route to Washington certainly give color to the statement that his speeches in the Senatorial contest with Douglas were prepared for him by a Republican committee.--We should think that by this time his best friends must begin to suspect that he is not the man for the crisis. We should as soon think of putting out a fire in the dome of St. Peter's with a penny squirt as to expect such a man as Lincoln to overcome the portentous difficulties that now threaten this country.--By all means let his speeches from Springfield to Washington be published, and adorned in the frontispiece with an engraving of Dam

Fred Douglas, who was on the platform, called the proceedings of Mr. Fay the coolest thing he had ever known. Mr. Fay was sustained, and read a series of resolutions, which were received with applause, and adopted by a large majority. Fred Douglas then rose again, and was exceedingly severe in his condemnation of the proceedings. He made an allusion to Daniel Webster, andticularly were uproarious. A motion to dissolve the meeting was carried, and Mr. Fay retired from the chair. Fred Douglas called on his friends to remain. Rev.
