THE FACTIOUS FANATICS.

We have doubt, that all the well-inforned and
the great mass OF the citizens of tho North,
etrenu0usy opposed to the movements OF Iappan,
Garrison a. Co. Yet there is no doubt that the ia
nat'cs Of that country work. The lnte meet
ing IN Philadelphia is proof Of it. With the view
OF putting our citizens their guard against such
Vaccinations, we lay the following communication
before our readers. The police should he on the
alert to detect and arrest these vile incendares
These wretc'ies must be circumvented, or they may
do mischiefin their way. Are laws strict enough
nj present-or, Is there any defect in them, which
the present Legislature may supply?
letter from gentleman in Philadelphia his friend
IN this city, speaks Of the proceedings OF the National An
t-Savery Convention, (Which held in private with
cenne at tho door) He says, when he went in Gar.
rison had the floor and spoke about an hour
the people OF the South in the most malignant manner
conceivable. Alter he had addressed the meeting he beg.
ged leave to introduce TO the house Presidents OF the
Anu Slavery Society OF the New England States; and 10!
and behold! who should they be- hut fellows black
as mdnigh! They made their remarks. and read several
letters from this Sambo and that from different parts of the
United States. One read by Garrison from black
brother in Pe'ersburg who said tho time fast APP
preaching when liberty would be sounded in Maine and
echoed in Georgia. Garrison many as FIVE letters
from different in the Southern States, and several
from Missouri Among the resolutions adopted, this,
brought in by Carrison: He moved that catalogue be
made Of the different Ministers of the Gospel n the
United States, wro base enough to hold slaves and
that their should be held up 10 the world as men
who were damnng themselves at every breath! A COM
nltee was to be appointed the rounds OF the South
en States to find out the preachers owning slaves You
In the mean time, we also submit our readers
the renewed assurances of our Northern brethren
that they will keep vigilant eye these ncen-
diares-in the following extract from the last " New
York Standard:
ave have received the Declaration Of the Anti slavery
Convention, assembled at Philadelphia, December 4th,
1888. tits apece Of defamation, appealing re-
lgious preudices, calling upon the church enlist in the
crusade against the Southern slave holders, and replete
with can't IL denies that the holders Of slaves are the
popeiors OF what they claim, and that Free
ing slaves is not deprvng them Of their property; and
maintains that no compensation should be given plan
tiers who emancipate their slaves II promises to orga.
nze AntiSlavery Societies in every village town and
hamlet in the United Sates and enlist in their cause
the press and the pulpit.
"We should not have noticed this niiammatory hand
bill, were we not apprehensve that silence might
ell that we were disposed to relax opposition to the
mad acts Of these dangerous men. The Declaration
will probably be extensively circulated by its authors
and the antidote should accompany the poison. Our
Southern brethren may feel assured that the support
OF these doctrines subversive OF their rights
Insignificant in point OF number, and that in spite OF
their appeals to religions preudces and their cneavos
TO enlist the church in matters OF legislation they will
fail most signally in their efforts They are narrowly
wa ched Ii they have succeeded in agitang the
munty Tor time, il has been because the people
willing to listen to doctrines TO sanction of
alarming tendency; and not because the supporters Of
these doctrines aud formidable either for
number influence. In the city of New York. at least
there is feeling of opposition their course almost a.
strong that which exists the South. They stick at
nothing in their efforts carry their mad projects into
execution and is not strange that they should seek
prostitute the pulpit to their uses"
