Lynchburg Virginian. [volume] (Lynchburg [Va.]) 1829-185?, 1835-07-30

We publish this morning the proceedings at a
meeting OF Southern citizens In New Work, held a
few days ago. The time has arrived when the
people otthc South must put a stop 10 the inccn-
diary movements OF the Abolitioni,ts, in some ran
or other. We cannot permit lhosc fanatics, whc-
her their conduct spring from sillainy or ,clusion,
any longer 70 Interfere with question with which
they have no manner OF concern, and which is so
intimately connected not only with our chartered
rights, but with our peace and safety. Dearly as
we cherish the Union Of these States. we would
sooner see it Dissolved tomorrow, than quietly and
tamely permit any Interference OF the Northern
people with this delicate subject.
We do not now intend 10 discuss this matter
with them. But may be permitted to say that
il they be the philanlropists they set up for, they
may find " ample scope and verge enough" for the
display of their benevoencc, without crossing the
Potomac, ina crusade equally criminal and Chi
mer'cal in its character. Our slaves, strange as it
may sound in the cars of the emancipators, are
better fed, better clothed, and are in every sense
OF the word happier than the free colored people OF
the North, or even than the white paupcrs, whose
wrechedness is common ''proycrb of reproach -
Why do not Messrs Tappan, LeaNitt x Co. cx-
pend allc of their extra philanthropy upon the de-
Graded wretches who piled, dozens deep, upon
each other, in all the purlieus Of all their towns
ha-starved, covered withra@s, 4 fostering in filth
The old proyerb says, that " charity begin, at
homc, andwc are of opinion lha, it always shoui,i
do 1t would be ludicrouS, if were not so la
menable, to see the alaerity with which mon,
who will stumble over beggars at their own doors,
without having their sympathies excited to the cx-
tent OF copper, can, at the same time, launch
ont hundreds of dollars to relieve the imaginary
woes Of Il class men whose condition is scaled
book to them, and who neither care for their com
passion nor ask for their money. 1t is 50 much
more pleasant and therefore more common, to see
one name in print, as the giver OF magnificent
sum, than it is to- do good by stealth, and blush
to find it fame
We again tell Messrs. Tappan& Company that
the condition of the black slaves of the South
, is in every way preferable to that of the white
slaves of the North-and therefore they may
be better employed in ameliorating the actu-
Ill niAtIltS Oh the ldllcf tlldn Ill renewing the
tanced sullcrines of the former. At all events
end as commenced, by warning the North
ern people that the time has come when the South
will begin seriously To reflect upon the means
of putting a stop to the efforts which arc made to
steal their property and to eoparLthcir tranquil
y and united as they are upon this point, the,
will, whenever they shall find it necessary to deter
mine upon a1ioa, pursue ii with an energy which
will destroy the evil, even il il uproot with til,
pillars of the Union.
There is another though minor point Of view
in which the Northern people should look at TIM
subject. I'they permit the aboltionists to CONT
nue. their lnIlammatory proceedings, the day is no
distant when no Northern man, whatever may b,
his object or profession, will be allowed to enter
Southern State, without being subjected to tho clo
scSt scrutiny, and perhaps to insult and violence
Things are fast approNlnatlng to this ssuc-and t,
this complexion they must come at last, unless the
supporters of Unconstitutional guarantees & the ricnd
of social order in the North will crush the brood
ofvipcrs which they now nourshing in thci
midst. We speak as unto wise men-lct them udo,
for themselves.
