The tc York Courier g. Enquircr EXPRESSES its ndig
nant establishment at this attempt Of the Fanatics: THUS
(says hr) amidst excitement that threatens 10 shake
The Union from It's centre to its circumference these mad
men have determined upon grand central movement
in the State Of New Yurk-for earthly purpose that
we can conceive of but to brave public opinun and man
utactue of i'll will between the North and
the South: and thus take another step towards the con-
summation they aim at. There BE- shadow OF
doubt left now upon the minds of the most cliar
table, that Dsunon is the great object of all their
movements-Thcy have other object, what
ever quantity of hypocrisy they may throw around
their measures and have only to say in relation TO
these most miserable most wicked nand most DANCE

organized body OF nccndarics hold quiet meeting

well disposed People Of Utica choose to suffer bund of
conspiratos to their town as paint duPPut for
crusade upon the institutions established by the wsdom OF
their forctalhers-we hope hereafter to hear any
complaints from them when this fair country shall become
the theatre OF disorganzaon and bloodshrd and when
the American flag counts only twelve stars in its folds
But do believe will not believe that State Abo
on Society can be organized in ~ York. at this amy
future timc-in pubic. Such an organization may take
place in cellar in the of some dark alley; but
do not believe it he done in the open presence OF
any community in this State. There isa simple way to
prevent such proceeding. Not by mob-for any
thing in such shape should not only be frowncd down
by the people, but r put down promptly by the civil ma
gsracy ANY evil is preferable 10 anarchy, even abol-
