Anti Abolition NJ 'etings were held, have been met

still the general state Of feeling IS as We have
represented above.
We hay all along seen that designing men would
seize the opportunity of the excitement caused by
the proceedings of the Aholitioniss, to accom-
nli,h ends of their own The South has been eN-
cited, at the base and netarious practices of the
Ariators-it has seen cause for action in the i'll
crease of Abolition Societies and the extent Of
their means and purposes, and ii ludlcousy called
upon the North to put dooa the incendiaries. This
might have been done quietly. The demolition OF
AbolitionSm might have been accomplished at the
Morrill, and by the North alone,-had the people
been properly encouraged to go on with the work

quarrel with friend, who are disposed to 60 with

is to do great injustice.
Just as We advise intelligent men OF the North
to come among us, view situallon and then
form their judgments on particular matter, -
should they recommend our people TO 60 amongst
theirs, hear then sentiments, and listen to their de-

have less of tanaticism the one hand, and more
OF kindly feelings ON the other.

The foregoing article deserves the serious con-
siderltion of the Southern people, not only be-
Cause of the temperate character OF its rebukcs
and the prudence of its cou' sell but because of the
Very respectable source from which it cmanatcs.
4 Than the Editor OF the Alexandria Gazette, there
brcathes not more jealous S0uthron; but he feels
a apatrioc and just pride in the appclialion OF an
1merican citizen; and consequently, while he en-
4 tiers with warmth into the feelings OF Indignation
excited by the and perilous interference of
+ knot of domestic and foreign inccndarcs against
the rights, interests and safety of the South, he is
likewise apprehensiye that that indignation, unrcs
traincdhy the counsels prudence, may preciptatc
the people Of tho slave-holding States into mca-
surcS at once unnecessary for their protection
and security, and hazardous to the Union of the
q States. Indeed, he asserts, from personal obscr-
Vaton,-and there are few who would look into
the subj ct more narrowly or more intel9cntly,-

OF hostility towards the Abolitionists, among the
Northern people, and that this change in their
