by old doctor Slavery, the great doctor that the ia

they get over it. The remedy and the prevent

by the name of 0nti-Szacery. 1t is a safe proven

lor-phobia. You can't noculate either into them
1t somehow changes and redeems the consttu
ton, so that it is unsusceptible of them. An abo
litionist can sleep safely all night in a close room
where there has been a colonization meeting the
day before. He might sleep with r. r. Gurley
and old doctor Proudht three in bed, and no.
catch it. The remedy was discovered by doctor
VIM. Lloyd Jenner-GarriSon.
This coor-phobia is making terrible havoc a.
mong our communities. Anti-slavery driceS ii
out-and after while cures it. But it is base
low, vulgar ailment. 1t is meaner in fact than the
itch. 1t is worse to get rid of than the seven
years Itch 1t is fouler than Old Testament ep-
rosy. 1t seems to set the dragon into man, and
make him treat poor dark skinned folks like IT,
GER 1t goes hardest with dark compzect white
people. They have it longer and harder than
light skinned people. 1t makes them sing out mig,
ger-nigger' some times in their sleep. We
should reckon the editor of the Patriot had had a
touch of it, if he want too light complect. He
sings out now and then like patient that had got
it He halloos niger, Niger every once in a
while, but may be he has got some other disorder,
being light tavored So Sometimes they make a
noise like this darkey--da1key- darkey.-Some-
times woolly-woolly. They will turn up their
noses, when they see colored peopie-espcciaIIy
if they are of pretty rank, savory habit OF person
themselves. They are generally apt to turn up
their noses, as though there was some bad SMELL
IN the neighborhood, when they have had it bad
and are naturally pretty odorlerous. tits a tasty
dlsorder-a beautiful aiIment-very genteel, and
apt to 90 into first families We should like to
have Hogarth take a sketch of such a community

a-laughing at the sight of it. Hogarth might not
laugh at this picture. 1t would be sight to cry
at, rather than laugh--especiaIly if he could see
the poor objects of our phrenzy, when the fit is
on--Which indeed is all the time for it is an un-
Intermittent. Our attitude would be most ridicu-
lous and ludicrous, if it were not too notifying
and humiliatng and cruel Our Hogarth would
be apt to die of something else than laughter at
sight of his sketch.
This beastly malady is the secret ofall our anti
abolition, and all our mobocracy. 1t shuts up all
the consecrated meeting houses-and all the tenn
pies Of JUSTICE the court houses against the friends
of negro liberty. 1t is all alive with idgets about
Decorating the Sabbath with anti-savery lectures
1t thinks pew owners can't go into them, or use
their pulpit, when it is empty, without leave Of the
minister whom they employ to preach in it. 1t
will forcby shut people out Of their own houses
and off of their own land-not with the respectful
violence of enemies and trespassers, but the con-
temptuous unceremoniousness of the plantation o.
verseer--mingled, moreover with the savish irasc-
biity of the poor negro, when he holds down his
fellow slave for fogging. 1t sneers at human
rights through the free press. 1t handed John B.
Mahan over to the alligators of Kentucky. tshot
Elijah P. Lovejoy through the heart 1t dragged
away the free school at Canaan. 1t set Pennsvl-
vania Hall on fire. 1t broke Miss Crandalls school
windows, and threw filth into her we'll 1t storm
ed the female prayer-meeting in Boston with a
property and standing forlorn hope. 1t passed
the popsh resolution at Littleton in Grafton coun-
ty. 1t shut up the meeting house at Meredith
Bridge against minister and all,--and the homey
court house there, and howled like bedlam around
the little, remote district school house. and broke
the windows at night. 1t excludes consideration
and prayer in regard to the forlorn and christian
made heathenism of the American coored man,
from county conferences and clerical associations
1t broods over the housings of the New York OBJ
server, and gives keenness to the edge and point
of its New Hampshire namesake 1t votes anti
slavery lectures out of the New Hampshire state
house, and gives it public hearing on petitions, in
a seven by nine committee room. 1t answers the
most insulting mandates of the southern govern
ors, calling for violations Of the state constitution
and bill ofrights, by Legislative report and resolves
that the paramount rights of slavery are safe
enough in New Hampshire without these viola
tons. 1t sneers and scows at woman's speaking
IN company, unless to SHIPPER when she is hatered
by fool Of the masculine Or neuter gender. 1t
won't sign anti-slavery petition, for fear it will
put back emancipation half a century. 1t votes
in favor of communing with shareholders, and
throwing the pulpit wide open to men-stealers, to
keep peace in the churches, and prevent disunion.
1t will stife and strangle sympathy for the slave
and remembrance of those in bonds to prevent
