and told that their publications would lead to lnsurErc

educated and totally incompetent to govern themselves
that collisions would unavodably arise between the
two colors, and that mutual slaughter would be the
sequence OF their immediate emanc patton; and yet they
persist. Truly may say with the poet,
"Fui,h, fanatic faith, oace welded fast
To dear error, hugs it TO the ast.'
The hand-bill, Oneida Standard and DcmocTst En-
tra requests the papers throughout the State to give the
call an insertion. Very modest, indeed! We shall! do
no such thing. We can be better employed than in aid
ing to excite savage population cut the threats Of
neighbors and fellow citizens. But we will state
that the call is signed by 4ron Selcar of Utica famous
dishes, where he frequently gets tuent, as he most
probably will this instance. He has two hundred
associates to back him in this ncrious procsdns Col
Prentissz of the Cooperstown "Frccmans Joarmal, e

the call. Chenango has not furnished one name
to the infamous movement, and most heartily rejoice
at it.

and his companions choose to be call slaves together
have not the least objection; or if they wish to be

enough in Utica to associate with them and their am

But we have pursued this subject far enough for the
present We wish the African harm, and we
will take good that we do them We leave
that to the fanatics. Thciy condition gradually

the master and slave; and frequent interchange Of

Immediate Abolitionists commenced their abors, and
that mutual confidence longrr exists The slaves
regarded with jealousy and treated with rgor and

Co. held pursuant to public notice, at the Courhou in

was appointed President, Abal Cook and Abel Chand-
Ter, Vice Presidents and J. G.. Coyc Secretary.
On motion of S. S. Randall, it Resolved, That

solutions expressive OF the OF the meeting on The
subject which it had convened to consider. Whereup-
the following genteRcn apPoiated from the
chair, viz S. S. Randall l. Z. Smth John Latham, ST.
las Holmes and 3. +. ReAford who, after temporary
retirement, reported the following:
RcSored That the Union Of these States consecrGIcd
by the blood Of Revolutionary heroes, and cemencd
by than half century OF Unparalleled national and
individual prosperity is deserving Of Our most affection
ac attachment and sincere regard aud that look up
on all efforts which have tendency to weaken that
attachment and regard in say sectun of orr con fedora
Cyl as nnwse, dangerous and destructive to the highest
Interests Of The American People.
Resored, That the subject OF slavery is which, by
The terms I'D spirit Of The Constitution, belongs cxcu-
svey to those States, the citizens of which, the
and holders Of slaves aud that any interference
on the part Of any other member of this conicdcracy
while can in no wise benefit the object Of their misap
Piled Phlanhropyis necessarily productive of jealousy
snd alarm to Southern brethren dapucrons t t!.ir
peace and safety and in its ultimate consequences fatal
to the stability and pcrmanence ofthc Union.
Rcsoioed, That look upon such interference az no
less than arcidal warfare for have ever REGARDED
the people of the South political brethren ncp OF
the same great powerful nation, bound together by
community of interests men with whom We have beer
rression and only for these reasons we can not
look quietly while their rights invaded, the
buiwarks of our liberty attacked by The blind fury of ia
naticsm under the garb Of libern philanthropy.
Resolued, That under existing circumstances, it is i'm
possible that the colocd and white population of the
South should at and the time be Free and that
should the aboonsts succeed in their niudcious en-.
deaVors they would destroy the liberty OF such as are
capable OF enjoying it, and beslow it upon those who
crime.
fesofeea' That the conduct of the immediate abol
tonss IN endeaHong to force their incendiary pubca
tons upon the people of the South and to stir up dsa
lection and violence among the slaves is fanaca and
dangerous IN the extreme; that we fully svmna,hjse with
our Southern brethren in the feeling thew have evinced
and thatts the duty of every good citizen utterly
dscountenance the absurd and alarming course Of cse
Northern fanatics and by every legal and consii,u,onat
MEANS to prevent their applying the torchght of mad
