THE PRo-SLAyERY OUTRAGE, at Philadelphia,
reported from the mouth Of friend last week. turns
out 70 be an appalling reality. An indelibe stigma
has been fixed upon the character Of that city, and
another atocious crime added 70 the endless cata-
logue that already blackens the face Of this hypo
critical nation. Another page Of sim is added to
the history Of the nineteenth century, which after
generations viii read with wonder and amazement.
Suange-srange that the sons Of violence, if they
will mot learn righteousness, viii not learn better
policy. Nothing could be more impolitic than their
course. [Of this, however we have no reason to
complain, any further than il interferes with our
rghts-thus far we haye.l Short sighted indeed
they must be, not to see that they defeat their
ends-that they add fuel to fire which is eonsum-
ing prejudice, caste and oppression-which is rap
idly and efectually burning out from human socie-
~ ell the internal denominations which their own
nefarious doings are designed to perpetuate and
promote. He who sittsth in the heavens will
laugh at their folly-will have them in derision-
win make their wrath to praise Him, and will re-
strain the remainder. Let this be the consolation
Of every philanthropist, and let not one effort be
abated, until the truth 60 forth the morning and
every work of the devil be brought to nought.
Below is particular account of the doings at
Philadelphia:
From the Pennsylvania Freeman.

Early in the evening shouts IN the street
announced that rude fellows Of the bas-
