UtV'idL“'.,d proposed to the meeting, that, wishing to adjourn the meeting without acting"^ VSi subject, and concurring in the sentiments set forth in the Preamble nnd Resolutions of the people of Richmond, the same should be u:l<>plcd by tins meeting, subject to such alterations as would adapt them to this portion of the State. 1

1 be following preamble and resolutions were then read and unanimously adopted: rttk.t MOLD AND Hli-'UU/noxs.

In common wilhu very respectable portion of our f I- i low-citizens, we deeply lament that stern necessity, and a regard for our just and constitutional rights, and the j peace and harmony of our country, have required of us some public expression of our opinions, and some deci- sive action on this momentous ami delicate subject No considerations short of these coulJ have induced ii*, in our primary character, to bring into notice tbemeasuies v/IncH koieo associations to the North have adopted, the direct el vets ot which are, the destruction of our excel- lent r-irm of government; to overwhelm this lair coun- try with a civil and servile war, and to cover these prosperous States with a gloom and desolation that nei- tner patriotism nor wisdom can remove or repair. We ~,;;..u«cu, then, this delicate subject, with every convic- tion of the temperance und forbearance with which it should be treated, and with the fixed design of doing mid saying nothing, but that which the exigency of thoocca- 1

stun tmaW demand. It is no longer to be disguised, (and wo make the ac-

knowledgment with astonishment, regret und indigua- lion,) that systematic and persevering c(Furls have tor sjiik- time been making in ibe Northern Stales, to pro- I duce a direct interference with the Slave property of the I South. J

| So long, however, as these efforts were confined to the I proceedings of a few unprincipled and reckless fanatics,

1

sustained by some misguided, yet well-designing Philan- thropists, we were willing to' rely solely on the liberal, intedigent and temperate of our fellow-citizens of the North, to restrain and destroy these irregular, unkind and disorganizing movements. No good or reflecting in n among us desired to add any thing to the excitement, which the past feeble and vicious measures of the North- I ern Abolitionists were so well calculated to produce, and | none of us could reconcile it tv our duty, to ourselves or to i onr beloved country, to do any act that might in the U ast degree alienate, or tend to alienate, one portion of our com- 1

nion country from the other.—Actuated by these senli- ; ti merits, vve in Virginia, with ull the other Southern States, nave lorebornc noticing the associations in question; not doubling but thut their further increase ami danaeroua tendencies would be controlled, either by the public sen- timent of the Northern people, or by the legislation of the States in which they were formed. Recent develop- merits have, however, shewn to our satisfaction, that to ,-- rf w uj warn uje poo- pie ol the non-slave-holding States against the irre-

parable mischiefs this intermeddliug of some *f their I people with this subject, may produce to us ail would be ns wanting in frankness on our part, as it would be unjust towards them. Conceding it to be true, (and we have no disposition to bring into doubt its |»eriect truth.) that a very large majority of the entire population of the non-slave-holding States con- demn all mterlercnce with the subject of slavery, either by legislation on the part of Congress, or in any other lunn or, yet it cannot he denied that the AWOrtionisls have formed and organized numerous societies in those | Slates—have raised large sums of money to disseminate throughout the nation, their disorganizing, seditious and incendiary doctrines—that they have established presses and are printing and even now distributing in our own and the Southern Slates the most dangerous and inflam- matory publications, for the undisguised purpose of pro- ducing by fraud or by force the immediate emancipation of our slaves.

Numerically small, as this band of desperadoes now is, they possess pecuniary resources, energy of character' and recklessness of purpose, sutlicieut to do much mis- chief. 1 hey are beyond the reach of our laws, ami with impunity throw, or attempt to throw, among us, materi- als which are designed and well calculated to lead to in- surrection, plunder and murder. With such men we cannot stop to reason, or to remonstrate ; but to those of our Northern fellow-citizens who wisely and virtuously reprobate all of those attempted outrages on the South we may safely appeal in the exialingcincrgency, that they do, by strong, yet lawful, by nuld, yet Constitutional means, terminate and remove all our just causes of complaint. Were these States separate and independent nations, and such associations were tolerated by the existing governments of them, it has ever been field among afi civilized nations, that the one whose peace and repose might be threatened by such means, has an unquestioned right to demand their removal. If this be true, between foreign States, how much stronger is our daim for a like remedy upon those who belong to and constitute, and as we fervently hope will ever continue to constitute, a part of the same nation, bound together by every tie of in- terest and affection. If the power and force of public opinion be not strong enough in the non-sluve-lioldiinr Stales to put down these mad disorganizes, then we of the South have every fair and reasonable claim on these States, to allnin this end by the passage of effectual and constitutional laws. We curinot doubt thal-so just an appeal will lie promptly acquiesced in; nor will we anti- cipate or attempt to depict the consequences which might ensue from a failure or a refusal to yield such acquit s- i cence. I t is entirely in the power of the South, by » change ol policy, greatly to annoy (lie Northern States; j for, were we to pass laws to remove all free negroes, us disturbers of the peace, from our borders, a ml to send them to be let loose cn our sister States to the North and the Kast of U3, we might not infringe any of their Jaws, but we should be justly charged with the want nf«i*irle- ; sy, liberality, and friendship.— But we adopt mo measure to embarrass those States, which are more fortunate iu j the exemption from a large colored population. It is just, however, to our brethren of the North, so- ! lemnly to warn them, that our right eforoorrtv in our ■ invi s in guaranteed by the Lo«4titulio«, and to remind them how sacredly they have in nil time past regarded this right; that the least attempt to impair the value of this guarantee, by endeavoring to procure the abolition of slavery by Congress in either of the States, or in any of the 1 errito, ies or Uislrict, where slavery now exists, or to regulate the manner in which slaves may be sold from one Stale into another, we shall bold tube a wanton violation of the compact between the Stale*, and destruc- tive of the whole frame of the Government.

We cannot permit this proposition to be discussed; the converse of it is so startling arid glaringly iniquitous, that the Southern People cannot tolerate its argument.’ The continuance of slavery, its wisdom, justice or ex- pediency, are questions for ourselves, and our seize* on- ly; and the days of this Republic will have been num- bered oo that, when we shall have conceded to any others than our own poople live discussion of these questions._ We udmonish, then, our Northern fellow-citizens, that, as they value the blessings bestowed by our Constitution, and the continuance of the Union;' as they estimate Uie peace of our Country; as they would guard against civil commotion, war, and bloodshed, to make nil within their borders, nnd under the influence of their laws, desist from their mad and wicked schemes—wicked, esscnlial- ly wicked and mischievous, as well towards the black man, as towards the white, and equally destructive to the happiness of the one und the improvement of the other. Nothing so strongly can demonstrate this truth, as the recent deplorable occurrences in our sister State Mis- sissippi, where the machinations of a few, very few bon- dilli, have thrown the whole community into commo- tion, snd brought on the heads bf the while nnd bl ick offender*the summary vengeance of a wronged and en-

raged people. Thus, while we have been but consider- ing the necessary measures to arrest the coming evil, we have exhibited, practically, its tendency and result. The aspirations of every humane man and patriot should sure- ly be, that the time may be fur, rery f„r removed, when like scenes shall be witnessed through our flout hern country; and yet, as certainly ns we are here assembled, will they Ire, if the rash and wicked attempts of (be »bo- lirionistsare not promptly repressed. The experience of all time past has shown, however, that the surest and safest means for providing against such dangers iis now thresh u ourdhmestic peace, are, a reliance on our own energies and preparations, and not to repo#*' too much on the sense of justice of those, who, from various causes, cannot so well perceive or guard against the impending wrong While we therefore appeal, with entire con/idence, to the justice of our Northern brethren, we should not neglect to adopt nil efficient measure* within our own territory, to provide against any mischief and to arrest llie career of these lawless intruders. Committees of Vigilance snd Correspondence should be ra-ganired throughout the Mute, snd our fellow-citizcu* should be invited without delay to hold meetings in their rrspretire towns and cor- porations for this purpose.—The Police should he re- quired to exert its utmost vigilance, to detect and brinu to punishment, all offV-ndrr* against our laws, and car* citizen should stand pledged to give I he most prompt in- formation of their slightest infraction. To our own U- fislature, we should apply for further legislation and ac lion Our laws should he strengthened; and as the guardians or our rights, our peace nml our happiness, the Oencrrj Assembly should call on our Mister Slate* |0 remedy, by B|| mean* practicable, our just somplaiiit*

At a meeting of the citizens of tlie Town of Meriden, convened on tlie 7tli imst., tor the purpose of taking into consideration tlie propriety ot politicly expressing llieir views in relation to tlie unjustifiable course pursued by tlie Anti-Slavery Societies: It was thought advisable that the Selectmen ol the town be requested to call a meeting ot the inhabitants of the town generally; a committee was appointed to draft a preamble and resolutions to be sub- mitted for consideration at said meeting; and in compli- ance with these arrangements, a meeting was held in the baptist meeting-house, on-he 14th inst.—The meeting was numerously attended, and opened by calling James S. lirooks to the Chair, and appointing E. C. birdsey Secretary; and the following I'teaiiible and Resolutions were adopted by a large majority, all present vuliiur in *'*VoJr except a lew immediate abolitionists.

\\ hercas, it becomes the duty of the citizens of these U nited States, to defeat by timely, judicious, arid peace- able measures, every attempt to weaken that bond of l/iiion which binds them together as one happy people, and prevent the seeds of discord ami hatred from being sowed broadcast, and taking deep root in our highly fa- vored laud, and as we have good reason to fear and be- lieve, tint a portion of our fellow-citizens who style themselves immediate abolitionists, and professedly act- ing without any regard to expediency or of the conse- quences that may result Irom llieir conduct, urc sowing the seeds of discord by unjustly interfering with the constitutional rights of the slave-holding Stales, thereby creating suspicion and jealousy at the South, unfavora- ble Vi the Ninth, thereby bringing reproach and occasion- ing hard feelings where only good faith and friendship should exist: therefore

Resolved, 1 iiat all rights and privileges guaranteed to the several Stales, and the citizens thereof by the Con- stitution, are, and shall be by us held sacred and invio- lable, and we will not give countenance nor support to any measures that may, or do in uny manner infringe upon tlie rights and privileges thus guaranteed. Resolved, That we view the Constitution of the Uni- ted Stales us the only safeguard to our present unparallel- ed prosperity and happiness, being tlie national compact entered int iby these sovereign States, with all (heii de- licate interests, the adoption of which required a patriot- ic spirit ot mutual concession, and as good citizens wo will ever respect and maintain it.

Resolved, That the principles and measures of the American anti-slavery society and its auxiliaries, are at war with the best interests of our countiy, and a fraud upon tlie ignorance, and an outrage upon the intelli- gence and humanity of the community, and deserving the strongest public reprobation.

Resolved, 1 fiat we view the present measures of that class ol our fellow-citizens who call themselves aboli- tionists, as being unjust, because they aie interfering with Constitutional rights; us seditious, on account of thc:r tendency to array one portion of our countrymen against the other; unconstitutional, because calculated to promote domestic violence; unpatriotic, because every American citizen is bound to promote the general wel- lare; unchristian, because every Christian is bound as lar as in him lies, to live peaceably with all men; insin- cere, because they have Bufticienl evidence to convince t'lein that the object they profess to have in view can never be accomplished by the means they employ, and it honest men they will abandon them.

Resolved, I hat tve hold in contempt any interference by foreign emissaries with the internal concerns of any portion of our country, and especially do we view with ihliomuce, any attempt on their pail to disseminate in »uy manner, doctrines upon the subjpet of slavery, which if recognized, generally, will assuredly result in the per- petuity of slavery, the ti solution of our happy Union, and (w ith a most moral certainty) an immense sacrifice’ ol lives and property.

Resulted, That whatever may be our opinion of slave- ry in the abstract, we hold that if is a subject whish it is tlie duty of every well wisher of the Union in the m.n- slave-holding States scrupulously toavoid meddling with- that it concerns our Southern brethren alone, aiid that in interference with the domestic policy of the South, is n direct violation of the Constitution, and deserves the leverest censttie of every well-wisher of the Union and he rights of tlie States, and should, if necessary, be put lown by the strong arm of the law.

Resolved, That we believe that part of our fellow-cili- rens, who have the lead and direction of the abolition society to be designing diiunionists aiming in get n high seat among the spoils alter the destruction of our Union and llieir blind followers and supporters to have a zeal but not according to knowledge.

Resolved, That should we ever become teachers of that ■xce/lcnt sentiment, Every man should mind liis own msiness, we would place in the first class of our pupils, «ur anti-slavery fanatics, and instruct them under similar ules and regulations to those adopted by onr forefathers .oward* the lories in the revolutionary war, so fur only is said course should be consistent with the supreme luiv the land. *

Resolved, That the foregoing be signed by the ('hair- man and Secretary, and be printed in the Hartford and •>ew Haven piper*.

At)H ill JlAl) SOL Til. We have received the Pioceedings of the Great Meet-

ing at Hartford. Among other resolutions, they adopt the following:

Rcsalred, That tin* conduct oftlie Abolitionist Socie- ties, in publishing and distributing, in the slave-holding States, in violation of their laws, Newspapers and pamph- lets, the natural and obvious tendency of which, is to excite insubordination and inauricotion among the slaves, and expose the country to all the horrors of a servile War, is highly censurable, and cannot fail of meeting the leprobation of every friend of his Country—Such proceedings, being a violation oftlie Spirit of the Con- vl'tntional Compact, are not more hostile to the peace of

■ "pdmtelv affected liy them, than dangerous to the. general harmony uuu u.e

of the Union. “Resulted, That we can see no good, hut much evil,

from agitating the question of Slavery in any form, in the States not immediately interested, and that we should deprecate any action or proceeding by Congress, regarding Slavery in the District of Columbia; and there- fore disapprove of the Petition, which we understand is in ciioulation among the People of this Slate, to be pre- sented to the next Congress, praying for the Abolition of Slavery in the District of Columbia.

“Resulted, That we regard the subject of Slavery in the United States, as solely a civil anti political question, and therefore cannot see the propriety of its being taken up bv rchgiuus communities and treated as a moral or

theological question; and for the same reason, have viewed with regret and decided disapprobation, the in- terference of s tine of the Clergy, arid especially those of a Foreign Country, in a mailer involving such momen- tous political principles, and such important social rights."

The Grand Jury oftlie county of Oneida, in New York, have made the subsequent riesentinent:

Whereas, as Gruud Jurors, we think it our duty t> express our views on all questions where the quiet and comfort of the people of our country is in question: And whereas, men from Fnglund, who have no interest in common with us, only to destroy our government and happiness, are overlooking the starvation of hundreds of their own countrymen and citizens in the public streets at home, und permitting thousands of white men to he und remain slaves, nay, more, bond slaves in the old world, without the slightest notice, attention or interfer- ence; and whereas, certain designing or misguided indi- viduals in the Northern States have joined themselves with them, under the mistaken views of philanthropy, regardless of consequences, and in hostility to the plum intent and view of the Constitution of the United Slates

as is uuucrsioou oy every school boy in our land, and are seeking or pretending to effect the immediate abolition of slavery, by the transmission of pictures and papers in- to the Southern Slates, among the colored people, ex- pressly to excite discontent among them, and destruc- tion to our, and the only happy Government in the world

“Wherefore, Resulted, That, in the view of this Grand Jury, those men who are getting up, and are the cause of getting up, and organizing Abolition Societies in the Northern Stales, for the purpose of printing pictures and inflammatory publications, und distributing the same in the Southern States by the public mail or otherwise, with a view of having them circulated among the blacks, are gci.ty of sedition, and of right ought to be punished; and that it is the duty of all our citizens who arc friend- ly to the Constitution of the United States, and the fu- ture quiet and happiness of this people, to destroy all such publications whenever and wherever they may be found.

liResolrrd, That the resolution of this Jury, with the preamble, be signed by the Foreman and Secretary, and published. JNO. E. IllNMAN, Form,an.

“L. Co/.zkxs, Srrrcturij. The citizens of Thomaslon nnd Warren, in Maine, held a meeting on the 12lh, ul which strong Resolutions

were adopted in opposition to the measures of the Aboli- tionists.

1 Jeffersonian of Portland, states the whole strength ot the Fanatical Grew in that city. “At the late Elec- tion, they selected lour candidates for Representatives to the Legislature, and four for the Senate, whose names were printed, forming a regular ticket. They appeared at I the polls, and made exertions to cast as large a vole for ! them as was in their power. A vote of tiahtij-four is the i result ot ah their labors; and probably lui J ot these were cast by colored citizens—thus showing the number of about forty of our white population, who manifest a de- termination to maintain their ground in the cause of Abolitionism. It is true, this does not prove that there are no more than forty individuals in this city, (other I Ilian colored persons,) n ho have signed the Constitution I ot the Abolition Society—but it does prove what we j have before said, viz: that many have been induced to ! sign the Constitution of that Society, who did not at the lime ot doing it realize the dangerous tendency of its proceedings, and who will no longer follow the Aboli- ! tionists in their improper and unjustifiable interference i with the rights of Hit* South.*'

In fart, they are a contemptibly smnll fragment in all j the Northern States—with iuliuitt ly more ztal than num- 1

bers— but by the means ot presses, and their poisonous 1

publications, capable of producing much mischief and ! great excitement in all the South.

What could be a more extraordinary political pheno- menon, than the effecting of a dissolution of this Union, so dear to nil sections of the country, by so contempti- ble a minority of the N >rthcrn population! Our friends have the numbers, the talents, the force of public opi- nion, the political power, to put d >wn these Fanatics. They can do it—they seem to have the will to do it. They ought to do it—Will they not doit?

It appears to ns, that the South ought to state to the North her wishes, her rights, her claims for justice— to do this fu oily and fr.tuk ly, but calmly, respectfully and nffectionatt ly—then to fly into no intemperate and irri- tating language, no harsh and precipitate measures on the part ot tier citizens—no Commercial and Sectional Convention at this moment—but in the mean time to adopt every measure of Police, which is calculated to pro- tect ourselves against Incendiary Publications,or insidious Emissaries. We think the Southern citizens, instead of Hying into precipitate measures, had belter wait till their respective Legislatures assemble—and let them take up the subject, and make a strong appeal to the Legisla- tures ot our sister States—and if necessary, depute some of their most enlightened and dispassionate citi- zens, ns Commissioners, to state our grievances, propose arrange men s, nnd appeal to them for co-operation. The North, on her part, can effect much through the exertions of her own citizens. Meetings may lie univer- sally held,and resolutions adopted, which without moot- ing any unnecessary or abstract propositions, can ex- press their sympathy with our situation, their abhorrence of the Abol.tionists, and their determination to stand by ua. '1 hese Proceedings will communicate strength to our friends, strike an awe into our enemies, open the eyes of tiie Northern Clergy—and perhaps, by the mere force of public opinion, arrest the torrent which has been ...........I ..j I •' ll,.IV..1 I. .1 1- ■

citizens —Hu- Abolitionists be pot under the ban of so-

ciety—business with them suspended—every difficulty t/irown in the w.iy of their holding meetings and estab- lishing presses -doming the Meeting-houses, and Court- houses, against their Mis nonaries—arid in fact, closing up all the facilities of intercourse and action to those who are

really the Common enemies of the North and the South? Other means may probably be employed Inj individuals We waive lor the present all discussion of a question, which some of the Southern writers arc debating, viz whether wp have a right to demand Tappan and Thomp- son, &. Co., as felons who have violated our laws, and fugitives from justice. YVe would not decide, nor act upon such a question, at present—but a writer in the N. Y. Eve. I'ost lias opened up a remedy, which be thinks is to be found in the existing laws of New York._ lie says, "yourcorrespondent has undertaken to inform the Southern People, ‘as one having authority, * wlmt they may expect, and what they may not expect, from the public sentiment and legislation of the North. Mis modest lead may be followed, foraught I know, though there arc flattering indications, if one may judge from the proceedings ot popular assemblies, of a disposition to enforce the principles of law' and of good neighbour- hood on this subject. He now hazards the opinion that a jury cannot be cuipnnnelled that would convict on the 1

libels I have mentioned. A jurv might be empannetted that certainly would not. But I nave so much confidence in the intelligence and virtue of the great body of our

citrens, as to believe that twelve of them Impartially se-

lected; and under the advice of an upright and enlighten- ed judge, would convict any man as a libeller, who pub- lishes incitement to disobey the laws of the land_ much more the writer* who subvert thore prinoioles of duty,on which all law, and even the social fabric k itself rests I unite in your correspondent’* desire to sec the question tried. It is hoped that the next Grand Jury for this city and county will take up the subject, and that our new District Attorney will show himself to be worthy of the office he fills.”

But should nil those measures fail in their effect, and the evil goes on to irritate the Mouth and to disturb our

peace, tlw u wo must lay the evil before the Legislature* of the North, and appeal to them for further laws to put down the Fanatic*. This is the last, the sufficient re-

source, which the South has called upon the North to

□ obvious, that much discretion n« well ss firmness j I is necessary to preserve the Bight* of the South, and the peaee of the Confederacy. The question is a difficult one, in itself; bat it is now boeomc complicated with other interests and other feeling*, Pnnntieism is attempting to gain convert# in the North, by exciting in every way odium against the South ! Party is also more or less ac- tive in that quarter but it ia much more strongly dovo-

io|»cu Til tHe South, wurre (life most insidious ettorli ate

making by some ol* the Whig leaders to gain converts, by exciting resentment against the North. Some are seiz- ing upon the excitement against the North to blast the Northern candidate, as they are pleased to christen him. Others, though happily inferior in point of numbers, are

willing t > sacrifice the Union itselt to their factious de- signs. Even if wc were not thoroughly convinced ol the intention of sonic of the ring- leaders, yet ihc tendency of their measures is obviously to put the North and the South by tl'.e ears—to create u clamor in the one section toivurds the other—to discouruge the developenient ol public opinion in the North, by misrepresenting the gen- ral sentiment of the South—and to produce irritation in the South, by misrepresenting the general sentiment of the North. The Abolition papers eagerly arize upon every harsh expression, which is dropped in the South- ern papers, to irritate the North. The Factious papers i the South imitate their policy, bv re echoing every harsh expression, which is dropped by the Abolition pa pers of the North. The acid is freely applied in both sections of the Union—the minds of some men have be- come soured—a little re-action is produced here and there. Now and then, the North is irritated by the pre- cipitate plan of a Southern Convention—sometimes it is insulted by unnecessary and unjust imputations on the iiilcgnty ami patriotism of her citizens — Anil sometimes by expressions undervaluing the blessings of the Union, ami pointingobviously todissolution—As when the Whig, for e xample, publishes a Communication from South- trn Man"—containing the fullowingoiuinou givings-oul:

Du an immediate disunion of the state and non slnct- holding States, l bclicce that all tin sc great and desirable rads tnaij be attained. From Mary land, South and West, y^'iiml to Kt-ntuekv. we shall be able to constitute a Ooverumeulot considerable pen......y l et nil pub- lic property be fairly distributed among the present Con- federacy. ,-i Southern Confederacy, embracing that part of tile country alluded to, will embody every resource and advantage both as to soil, climate and water, that any nation can need; while it will lx* relieved from all the causes of vexatious and partial legislation, which now so seriously uud frequently disturbs our harmony and happiness, and so often threatens to overthrow our institutions."

W e have before us, a series of extracts from the Northern and the Southern papers, going to show what

| an unkind feeling, the course of the fanatic prints in the North,arid the factious prints in the South, is calcu- lated to produce. We reserve these for future publica- tion, if the Times should demand it. llut we are happy to believe, that whatever little excitement they may have produced here or there, they do not express the gi-ncral sentiment of either section of the Union. The Aboli- tion papers, or the heated KssayisU in any other Jour-

t nuls, me mil the tiue Exponents of the North. The I great body ol her I’eople are calm, uniiiipussioncd, un- utfccted by the occasional violence of the Southern pa-

; pers, faithful to the Union, and firm in their attachment t to the South. On the other hand, the violent language of one or two Southern papers—or the precipitate mea- sures v\ Inch are occasionally agitated, do not truly ex- I ress tlie general sentiment ol the Southern People._ I hey too are faithful to the Union—firm in their ardent attachments—prepared at every hazard to vindicate their rights, and to defend their property and their lives, but willing to allow all rea3onuble notice, and every fair op- portunity to the North to develope her feelings, and to adopt the necessary measures to redeem her uledires._ •in... ..i..... i.. 1 ** ..- u wmiiiivi uirwii UIU UIIIIJI.UIS, Stu- cannot strike it—Nor will she be driven from it. It

stands there firm, unshaken and irresistible—But she will wail a reasonable time for the movements of the North. With this spirit afloat. we have every reason to hope, that the South will be saved from contusion, and the Union be preserved from dissolution.

Party spirit is mixing itself up with this knotty and agitating question—and the attempt ought to be put down at once. In Georgia, the Whigs are actually electioneering upon the strength of it. The addresses ot Messrs. Beale and Gamble actually hold up Mr. Van Buren as a Candidate of the Abolitionists—as a North- ern Candidate—as an enemy of the South. Thus, in- stead of all hands being piped to the deck to save the ship, we see cunning politicians availing themselves of the tempest to share the spoils.

Among the various extracts with which the Northern and Southern papers are now teeming, we beg leave to select tin* following well-written, culm and summary Expose ol tin* stale of the Northern feeling. We are indebted for it to the Charleston Courier:

*• Nr.w York, Sept. 18. To the Editors of the Charleston Courier— The proceedings in Charleston, relative to the Post

Office, have met here quite a favorable reception. That it is a gross fraud upon the Post Office, to transmit pa- pers to persons who do not direct them, is fully recog- nised. But why any thing like entering the Post Office without authority, was resorted to, is not so clear.— There can be but little doubt, if an affidavit bad been made before n migisirate, that papers, the circulation of which is illegal, had been received at the Post Of- fice, lie would have granted a search warrant, and seized them; and this would have been dignified and im- posing. I hold, that the Postmaster, so soon as he discovers that seditious papers are in the mail, is in duty bound not to circulate them. If he does, it is pro- liable be might he himself responsible. I can see no ! soil of difficulty, in putting an entire stop to Ibis nefari- ous attempt to introduce, clandestinely, wbat would be punishable if openly circulated. Were any resident to subscribe or authorize the transmission of such papers, he would be amenable to the law. The United States Mail is no shelter for illegal publications, any more than Bie army would he an asylum for a mail who had been guilty of a breach of the peace. 1 can hardly describe the excited feelings of all the better sort of people here, at the audacity and unprincipled character of the small clan who arc endeavoring to implicate the two sections of the Union in a quarrel to the palpable ruin of both. I can say with truth, that I have not met with any man of business or any intelligent man, who does not execrate the proceeding of the Abolitionists. 'The chief leaders of the emancipators are emissaries from England; whether they are sent by enthusiasts, or are political feelers, is not known. It is very clear that any thing calculated to cut oil' the great and growing relations of the North and South, would benefit England. But the whole scheme is as hopeless as it is unprincipled. 'The foreigners usually get u congregation of women and a few idle boys, and are hourly in danger of being torn to pieces by the grown men, who detest them. It is hardly mxiaaurv hay uiai iik' manuiuciurers ana merchants ot the North prrt'urJj^iaAi|irehend where tlieir raw material comes frojMria What would be the effect, if any disturbance* South should raise the price of Cotton to them, WiTile the English manufacturers iniglil be partially compensated by importations from the East; and the merchant whose store is crowded with customers from the South and West, is not ignorant how they get the funds to pay for their purchases. The matter is well understood, and so sure as the fanatics carry their pro- jects any farther, so sure the white people will make a St Bartholomew afiairoftlieui. indeed, the only real mis- chief they can do, is to excite the fury of the people here, so tar to lead to net* of violence. There is no more pros- pect that these mad-men will ever seriously impair the rights of our citizens, than tiiere is that Mormomsm will supersede Christianity. Those who know nothing of the ft dings and opinions of the people at the North, are

guilty of a great folly, and an act of gross injustice, to charge these efforts to disturb the South, to the people of the North. They have nothing to do with it. The great preachers are English emissaries, and the few Americans who countenance them, no more represent the body of the people, than the convicts of the sessions do our own population. The abolitionists could not hold a public, meeting with more safety in Charleston than in New lork. Ft is a vile slander to implicate the North as a people, and springs from the same intemperate or interested zeal that directs all who boast of being tho- rough-goers. The question of emancipation is equally interesting to the people here, in a pecuniary point of view, as with us, and the abolitionists have contrived o make it as much a question of feeling; for the project jf amalgamation has roused the pride, anti excited the ndienatron, especially of the laboring whites. The lmalgamators proposed that the process should begin with the poor whiles; the gentlemen and ladies declin- ’d the honor of opening the ball themselves. Now, if liopest poor women have more pride upon one point than mother, it is in relation to their children; and the thought jf nursing little half negroes, and seeing their sons hoot- ’d nt.nnd their daughters insulted as negroes, has made them furious, let alone their husbands; and the men are calntis to madness,so that I verily believe if so disgust- ng a match were marie, except in high life, where, as a ! natter of lusle, it might be tolerated, the negro would he iting, and tin* woman pumped until she was cooled off dfectually. I n short, the mass of people here feel just as

Jiey do at tin* South, and no one of any influence pre- ends thnt under the Constitution, each Slate lias not the nost absolute right to protect herself, and that all this iliolition stuff i* not mere infatuation and avarice. The ihief actors get well paid, by sponging ignorant fanatics, nit chiefly women, whom they excite by 4hv most nbsurd aleshoods.

"The summary proceedings at the West are viewed in j heir true light; as. in fact shooting an incendiary caught : n the act of applying a torch to your dwellings, lie j vho thus puts himself beyond tha pale of the law, has j in right to complain of any want of ceremony, if he is letected. But it is due to the character of the Houth, hat the indignant feelings of the people should not lead | hem to confound accusation with guilt. In nil times I >f public excitement, personal foes lake advantage of! he blindness of passion, to ifenrranes. their enemies— rusting to the zeal of the judges to condemn them on j he most inconclusive testimony. The dimeter of the } State requires, that her escutcheon be stained by no such xeeutions Deliberation is not inconsistent with prompt- | tude; and it is undignified to be so precipitate as to oninnt a crime, in the hurry to inflict punishment, j riiere is no fear of the result. The insignificance, the eekJessness, and the well-understood illegality of the iroceeding* of the fanatics, Inis rendered them obnox- nns to the people, and especially to the laboring poor, I vho are insulted by the proposal to degrade them to he level of negroes. At l.yrin. in Massachusetts, the victualed Englishman, TffottMuX, escaped, literally heltered by the pMtieoats of the women. At Wnrr.es- er, one of the most respectable gentlemen of the place, leliberately went up to an abolition preacher, anti took way bis notea, ana the meeting was broken up in tu- nnlt. But in the large cities, they are unable to hold my public meetings. The true ground taker, is, that

•• no "tJite could, by it* legislative action, and as the United State* cannot touch the question, it ia a coti- | tempt of the Constitution, in any tclf-conslitotcd socie- ! ty, to do *<>. These men are therefore looked upon as violators of the Constitution; and as the end of their schemes would be, to atop the growing of Cotton and ! Rice, and mix black and white folks together, neither the interests nor feelings of the people can In* excited in their layer. Theie is only one thing on which they build t.iey are desirous to identify themselves with the North; they talk of vve of the North,” when in truth they are a small party, too small to call a faction, and their most zeuiou* jack-cade is not even an adopted citizen, but a man whose allegiance is to his iiitive England. The fanatics feel, that if they can til the South make it be believed tint they indicate public sen- timent at the North, they will induce the Southern Edi- tor* to utter sweeping denunciations ag.iiust every Northern man, and thus by exciting retaliation*, at last alienate the people of the North from their fellow-coun- trymen at the South, and deaden that svmpa'hy which now render* an attempt on its peace a common aggres- sion.

_

“How far they will succeed in inducing, to any extent, any such eo-o|ieruli»n from the Southern Editors, is yet to be seen. Certain it is, that the Abolitionists calcu- late largely upon such aid. Hut if the South is wise, and while it sternly maintains it* rights, and repels eve-

ry aggression, coniines its denunciations to the actual oft'emters, and discriminates between it* friends and co-

adjutor* ami its enemies—the full and abiding convic- tion which pervades the great mass of the people, that the plan* of the Abolitionists are equally bloody, wick- ed, and at war with every principle of the Union—will nuver permit them to suffer their plans to he carried any further than the steultliy and underhand circulation of incenui.i. «otiii>y« The Unlmi In |n,r.-aity ufc_the sure bond of direct and palpable interest is enough, an J the frequent and extensive intercourse which Steam- Heat* and Kail-Roads produce, is fast wearing aw iy all sectional antipathies, and making us one people. Steam is at lust the strongest cement of the Slates. A man gel* into a car, and State lines are passed like mile stones. He never regard* them more than the boundaries of farms. The personal intercourse, too, satisfies both parlies lliat they are fellow countrymen in language, in political principles, and in agricultural, manufacturing and com- mercial interests. Ousiuess of every kind i* carried on with wonderful activity—new resources are duily de- veloped, and the happy influence of our institutions is fust developing Those who croak of mobs and riots, see

only the surface. The people are sovereign, und when their servants neglect some crying evil,—then hi* Ma- jesty just put* Oil his b Kits ami settles the matter him- self.

TO Tin: EDITORS OF THE FM’QV/RF.R. Lowki.i., Sept. IB, 16:t5.

“ Gentlemen—I am exceedingly mortified to see the account ol our nnti-abolition meeting published in the Times, copied into your paper of the tilh inat., and treuteil as a serious matter by your correspondent. You inuy real assured, that the account given of that meet- ing by the Times, is grossly nnd utterly false, and a libel upon tin: feelings und opinions of our people in re- gard to the Abolitionists. .. niiiiuiiu w 1/lc 11*1 mu oi a

lion of more than sixteen thousand in hi hi tan Is, who fa- vor the cause of immediate abolition, or who are not decidedly opposed to Northern interference, in uny con- ceivable shape, with the S •utheru domestic relations of servant and master. In fact, the Abolitionists do not number one in one hundred of the population of New England.—From the tenor of your remarks upon the subject, and from the lone of Southern papers generally, 1 should think that the true character of the Abolition- ists is still somewhat misunderstood among the people of tile South. They are, then, generally speaking, the identical class of people, who ut one time are engaged in sending missionaries to the East Indies and other re- mote regions, and dream of the “immediate conversion of the world.” At another time they arc collecting funds to “convert the Valley of the Mississippi,”—at another, to “stop the Sunday mails;”—and lastly, to eman-

cipate your starts. They are, for the most part, member* ot what are denominated Evangelical Churches, though upon a division they would not constitute one in five of these church members. They have no political influence whatever—are for the most part Whigs; and though frequenily roughly handled by the leaders of that party, vole their ticket almost in a body. •

I have sent you the Cowell Patriot, containing a cor- rect account of our Anti-Abolition meeting. You will see by it, that our Resolutions go farther than those of any other place, nnd invite the attention of our Legisla- ture to the subject.

'• In conclusion, my dear sirs, permit ine to say, that any threats from the South in regard to this subject, are held in the same estimation by our citizens that North ern threats would be, should be, nnd always have been, by the citizens of the South. 'Mm contemptible character of the Cowell Times, and the insignificance of its Editors, is the only reason why its falsehoods were not contradicted. Will you. therefore, in order to pro- mote lliut good understanding which should every where abound, set this matter right, and disabuse our Southern friends? There are four political papers published in this town, all decided Anti-Abolition.’’

If srom the laeirell Patriot of Sept 18 ) ABOLITIONiSM-THE TIMER, AM* RICHMOND PAPERS.

We have Iweri some what mortified and provoked, by j Boeing an article in the Richmond Enquirer of the 8lli ! inst.. containing extracts from the account of the anti- j abolition meeting, held in the Town Hall, August 83, 1

published in the Times of the 85th ; and treating that account not only seriously, but as a subject of great irn- | porta nee. A bare statement of facts, in this case, will speedily set all right.

The subject of immediate abolition was first started here, we believe about three years since, by an orthodox preacher, by the name of Soulhmayd, who then edited a

religious paper, Called llm Cowell Observer. Said South- inayd was a miserable scoundrel,— was finally expelled j from Ihc Church — went to New York, got up a penny j paper, cleared out from there, as is rumored, to Texas.

Die paper went into the hands of another orthodox Clergyman by the name of Rand, who conducted it with some ability lor a few months; hut was obliged to give it up, for want of paying customers. Me has since travel- led as an Abolition I/Ccturer—and the last we heard of him, lie attended an appointment at York, Maine, where he was met, and cheered by the sight of the hare walls, and empty seats.

The rise, progress, and prospects of Anti-Slavery in Cowrll are faithfully di’liuented in the following para- graphs from the Cowell Courier of the loth inst (llere follows the article from the. Cowri.i. Cormr.n.

polilishril in the last Enquirer.) In nddition to the nbore, it rimy not be improper to

give a brief history of the " Cowell Times It is a little wrrhly H by Ift inrh concern, published by

Saint Jim H't n(d)gnfe, a beardless feminineyouth, about fifteen ae-ers of age, and edited by Nichols & Wingate.” Nichols is a smooth-faced lad, a few weeks older than Wingate, but still in his “teens,” and as innocent of a beard “ as a child unborn." The said Wingate was cow- ski lined, or caned, we are not certain which,a mnnthor two ago, in Central Street, by that prince ol dandies, “O. W, Dixon," alias Zip Coon," snd Nichols is understood to have escaped, only because the said Zip could not

lay liis eye upon him. These boy* sleep in their office ami have lived, dining the summer, upon “bread and molasses, and other light food, such as children can

easily digest. Nichols is a Orahamite, in principle, and commenced his career in this town by offering to lecture hoys on pro papotion, at 25 cents n head.

We are informed by the Publishers of the Lowell Courier, Messrs Huntress cV Knowltou, that Wingate, alter being trusted to a consider.ible amount,proposed to purchase of them, several months since, u lot of type; but either not being able to produce the ntrtfj'ul, or'wil- ling to inakw a s ilistiictory bargain, the said type took occasion, between the I to lit of ti-u days. to put iuto prac- tical operation, the prnia^os of isniniUnite- and uncundi- tion.U abolition. Missin^^cverul founts of type, and pre- suming they might have secreted themselves in the otlico ol the Times, they sent one of Uleir hands to examine the premises, when sure enough the types were found fast asleep under the Ltd occupied by the aforesaid Win- gate.

The abduction was confessed, und the necessity of the case pleaded in extenuation. But the type were or- dered hack into the service of their righllut masters, who do not hesitule to call the net of carrying away— stealing; und to declare it to be their belief, that the said Wingate has entered their office, by menus of fa I so

keys, at sundry times ; and that they made him acknowl- edge that he look Ike type" in question.

The Times is indebted for whirl little circulation it lias obtained, to its ranting about Catholics, and to its being a kind of common sewer," to let off the liltli of the town. It is true that it has obtained a trilling support from a few ol the abolitionists, through the iiiffuence ol a supernu- merary broken down pieaeher, who perambulates our Streets, cane in hand, anil expatiates upon the talents of the aforesaid Nichols, and the value and prospects of his paper. 1 liesc bcarUlwM Ultle rogues, a cou|ile of weeks since, asked “Why our Post Master desired people, who went to the Office for their papers in the middle of Uie week, to call on Sunday, ike. We might ask with much more reason uhy certain urchins broke open Mr. CJ_'* kitchen, and why they broke open Mr. Jeffs' fruit cheat; and what became of the provisions and fruit carried off .'' We might ask, loo, whether certain types could not an- swer toe question ? But we forbear.

In conclusion, we assure the people ofthe South, that the only reason the luisieprcseuUllions of the Times were suffered to pass with mt a contradiction, by the papers here, is the perfect insionijicunce of the little fellows, who conduct it. One ol them, it is true, l<Jur one-so young," lias some talent in stringing together falsehoods; buMic bus not a particle ol discretion, und knows no more about the affairs ofthe nation, than the goose, whose quilt ho writes with.

Out ol ri bundled voters of the Administration parly in this town, there are not rf abolitionists; and out of !l hundred Whig voters there are not one hundred—and out id all this nlimber, we do not believe that twenty con be found, who do not pity and despise the ranting of the children who conduct the Times.

I here are indeed very few immediate abolitionists in the iN htiglund Slates; and they are generally religious, ..'-r m-uiiruw u,uiiu IlliS^UlUea pm- mn In ropy has been magnified into unnecessary import* mice by the fears of our Southern brethren.

Tile people of Lowell are neither fanatics, nor so igno- iant us the Richmond papers seem to imagine, judging from the comments upon the urticle they copied Iron*the Times. And we assure them, that tire* Souili cannot ap- peal in vain to our sense of justice; but their own bo- soms must tell them that the sous of the Pilgrims will never consent to listen to threats. All we u*k, is. that the friends of the Union, and of Stale Rights’ in the South ,will place the same confidence in our motives and future course, that they ask us to place in theirs.

(From the Loucll ('> itrier.) It has been said that ‘a great book is a great evil.’

The experience of this town demonstrates that n small newspaper may be an evil about as great. It hashing been a matter of common remark and common complaint, that Lowell is in a peculiar manner infested with ;i swarm of catch-penny publications, which under vari- ous titles are constantly thrust into the fuccs of > the strangers within our gales’ by impudent boys, who Luy hem for retail. The vermin who get up these humor-

ous aud satirical papers, mostly on local subjects,’ are incapable, w here they are known, of doing nny serious mischief. The nuisance is vexatious enough, but not by any means dangerous in its local operation. Rut where, in the comse of their exchanges, they travel abroad, their power and tendency to do mischief is ul- most indefinitely enlarged.

It is liurdly possible to imagine any misrepresentation more gross, or any falsehood more absolutely wild uml crazy, than the assertion that the Abolitionists have not only the majority here, ia this town, but have recently carried all before them! And yet one of these nuisances (which here was not thought worthy of notice, amt baldly of perusal,) has so reported the proceedings of our recent public meeting on the subject of slavery, ns to have created the impression in Virginia, that the Abo- litionists would not permit it to be held, but actually, and in the most violent and outrageous manner, put it down. Misled in this, the Virginia papers proclaim the case of Lowell as an instance of the “power of the fanatics,” us demonstrating the necessity of action on the part of the South, and as a very strong and alarming case of the irietfieiency of all conservative action at the North. It is painful to find so gross a false hood bus obtained so much currency abroad —at home, it needs no refutation.

If the abolitionists can be in all parts of the country 119 effectualy outvoted and subdued as they are lu re—if their doctrines and schemes are as generally odious to other places as to this, the South has nothing to fear. The Virginia papers could hardly give utterance to a more insulting reproach against the abolitionists of this neigh- borhood^, than to say that the ‘Lowell Times’ is their puss. The inconsiderate boys and impudent vagabonds who are guilty of publishing and composing this Hood of falsehood and libels which are constantly hawked about our streets, may perhaps be surprised as well as gratified to hear of their wide circulation and extensive mis- chief.”

M/I. NICHOLAS. V osterday s Whig carps, as its vocation is. at a remark

which was made by l'. N. Nicholas, lisq., in the Com- mittee of Vigilance, on Thursday last. This gentleman is the author of the able and conclusive Substitute, which was submitted to the Committee, and is published in this day's paper. The Substitute s|ieaks for itself._ U marks out with a pencil ot light the course which the South ought to take at this eventful crisis. It opposes the scheme, as an immediate icniedy, which the Whig has been urging with so much anxiety for two weeks past. How then could Mr. Nicholus expect to escape its stric- tures or its censures?

After all, what does Mr. Nicholas say ?— The following is the substance of the Remarks made

by Mr. Nicholas, as we understood them—referred to by the Whig :—

.That persons were too much in the habit of speaking slightingly as to the importance of the Union—That it was vitally important to nil the States—That to the Southern Stales, it was important, not only for reasons applicable to all the States, 'out on the question of secu- rity ns to the slaves—That the person who did not high- ly value the Union, must know little of history, anil have a slight knowledge of human nature—That in case of a dissolution of the Union, these States would most probably be divided into three separate confederacies ; the North the South and the West—That the in- evitable consequence of such division, would be, to foster a spirit of rivalry and collision between these border States, which must inevitably lead to war —

That in case danger should ever result from ser- vile war, the Southern confederacy, which contained the slave population, would have to rely oil their own resources exclusively—That whilst the Union lasted, and friendly feeling was preserved between the U. States, in the e-vent of insurrection, he believed that thousands from our sister States would come to our aid: That the Constitution having provided that the General Government wm bound to aid in repelling invasions and suppressing insurrections, we had a right to call for the aid of the army and navy of the U. S., and that un- der any conceivable Administration, Slictl nid would be promptly afforded—That if it xvas in such n case withheld, it would lead to a dissolution of the Union. in illustration of this argument, he men- tioned that during the Southampton insurrection, a

Company of United Stales troops was one of the first military companies which reached the scene of danger He gave no intimation that the State of Virginia was not fully competent to repress an insurrection of the Slaves within her borders. Ili>. whole argument went to shew that the existence of the Union, offorded a stiong additional security to the South.

It is inconceivable how this argument can be sup- posed incompatible with loyalty to the South, or that pride of country which every Virginian should feel, and which we are confident no man feels more strongly than Philip Norborne Nicholas.
