:" -. CITY OF New York, by Arthur Tapr,n JOHN Ran.
-, ,nd o.hrrsand as Con;:ii;,cc of Vigilance" we
, i, oar duty especially call the attention of our
citizens To them. That Arthur Tappan aud his
,ca,vs should be found still plottin, against the lives
~, happiness of the Southern people, does not excite
,rriss although it cannot but our resent.
,n.: for, these men have by their previous conduct
wu themselves to be totally regardless Of the feelings
and interests Of the South and reckless Of the fate

he Sa!r Of Massachusetts, should be found to Co operate
with srch reckless and umprncipled men in their as
a up2n US. does excite our surprise we'll drcp
e-rt to, no people draw more largely upon Southern
rrp ri ana comfy than the people Of Lowell; aud we
'ri ana expected to find Massachusetts united hear
,y Nth Virginia and the whole South, in the effort
preserve that government, which, witt them, she bat
:rl SO galanili to obtain. We still indulge that hope
u. will we rchnquish 1t separate, w!e avoid
from those whose toreia,hers fought by the side of
y:s for that liberty which all enjoy, and which
prize above all things aud towards whon towards
:ahs citizens Of the North we have been accustomed
re! as ,neulbe,s of one family.
We regret too the Of the resolutions adopted at
TIE Park meeting the city Of New York and Connect.

Esuch would not be the feeling of the citizens north

BE- ."akened to of the injury done 20 the South

nSicon, that in the present aspect Of affairs, the
s'ah must rely its for safety and that
The people should lose time in cnbodying and pre-
@a.ny 10 the citizens of the North, in mild but salemn
hammer, their feelings and determination upon the SUBJ
ret Of abolition:
81 Rssclesd, therefore, Tint we regard with pain the
proceedings Of the people of Lowell i'll support of the
abol!oniss, published in the Lowell Tiues-and, if
tue, consider them as iuinca 10 the safety and hrpp
LESS Of the S,nth and furnishing just cause FIR the
CESSATION of all trading by the Southern people with The
Inhabitants Of Lowell.
-. That regard with much regret the denuncations
OF slavery, and therefore of slave owners in the n York
proceedings Al the Park not only unnecessary but
proper and unknd 70 the South, and calculated to i've
c"nstancy and courage to enemies, Arthur Tappan
Joaa Rankin and their associates
IS. That the publication BY Arthur Tappan John Ran
Kin and Others made in New York the third day of
Sept, is an impuden and daring assault upon the rights
ieings and safety of the South and together with their
previous conduct, justly suhjrcting their authors to the
punishment provided BY laws for those who shall at
hnp 10 disturb the peace and safety Of our people.
IL That regard with pleasure the proceedings Of
late meeting Of the citizens Of Philadelphia, and recog
ME IN them the feelings and sentiments OF patriots and
I;othcrs
70 That duly appreciate the efforts Of those Editors
o. newspapers at the North, who have opposed the Abo
