The Personal Liberty Law—Indignation Meeting in Boston in relation to the infamous outrage on Hon. Charles Sumner.

BOSTON, May 16, 1856.

Our city is all excitement. On Wednesday, Mr. Charles Hale offered an amendment, which passed the House to a third reading, by a vote of 144 to 124, repealing the Personal Liberty Law of last year. It has been especially assigned for Tuesday at twelve o'clock, to be passed to be engrossed. It will come up in the Senate some time during the week. While this deed, committed by the Know Nothings in general, and the Whigs in particular, has produced the most unwonted excitement; and whilst it is still fresh in our minds, we have news from Washington that a most cowardly and bloody outrage has been committed on the person of our Honorable and beloved Senator CHARLES SUMNER. Our city is now one great fountain of public indignation, surpassing everything I ever saw before. Friday morning's papers gave us the telegraphic announcement of the assault. In the evening papers of the same day, it was announced that a primary meeting would be held the same evening at Chapman Hall, to consider the propriety of calling a mass meeting of the citizens. At the hour appointment for the meeting, the Hall was densely packed in every part, and all the Avenues leading to it and hundreds were obliged to return home. It was then found to be impossible to accommodate even a small part of those who desired to be present, and the meeting adjourned to Tremout Temple. In fifteen minutes, four thousand persons were crammed and jammed together. The meeting was organized by the appointment of Samuel Greele, Esq., as Chairman. The meeting was addressed by Mr. Greele, Rev. James Freeman Clarke, Wendell Phillips, Esq., Mr. J.M.S. Williams, Rev. Theodore Parker, Mr. John L. Swift, Rev. Lyman Beecher, and Mr. Win. B. Spooner, and was one of the most intense enthusiasm. The meeting adjourned at ten o'clock, to meet again on Saturday evening at Faneuil Hall. On Saturday evening the meeting convened pursuant to adjournment. The Hall was densely packed, in every part, and several thousands must have

left unable to get into the Hall. The meeting was called to order by Wm. B. Spooner, Esq., Chairman of the Committee of Arrangements, who presented the following list of officers for the meeting: For President, His Excellency HENRY J. GARDNER: For Vice Presidents, Lieutenant Governor Henry W. Benchly, Rice, Mayor of Boston Hon. Elihu O. Baker, President of the Senate, Mr. Charles A. Phelps, Speaker of the House and about thirty other distinguished men as Vice Presidents and Messrs. J.D. Baldwin, and Charles Hale, Secretaries. The report of the Committee was adopted.

The meeting was addressed by His Excellency Governor Gardner Judge Thomas Russell Hon. John C. Parks, Geo. P. Hillard, Esq., Hon. E.C. Baker, Dr. C.A. Phelps, Hon. Samuel H. Walley, A.O. Brewster, Esq., John A. Andrews, and Peleg W. Chandeller, Esq. The speeches were all good. Governor Gardner was kissed twice for appearing to say that Mr. Sumner had exceeded the rules of debate, and indulged in personalities; but when he explained his point by saying that what Mr. Sumner did say, was in order and perfectly within the rules of parliamentary practice, he was loudly cheered. Mr. Brewster was the most practical, better man; and thought if things had come to this pass, it was now ""

I regret very much that the haste in which I write, will not allow me to give you even a synopsis of the speeches; but you will get them in the papers to-morrow. One thing I could not fail to observe and that was that most of the speakers were ten years behind the people. Many of the speakers were afraid there would be political capital made out of the assassinous outrage; while others and great regard for the stability of the Union, and considered it only as an outrage oh the freedom of speech! The people were aroused and enthusiastic, and what they wanted was the speakers to make "a clean breast of it," and call things by their right names. The more radical the sentiments the more extravagant it was appended. The meeting was one of the most enthusiastically indignant ever held in the "the old cradle of liberty."—A set of resolutions were passed and the meeting adjourned at eleven o'clock.
