The Mad Designs of the Abolttionists against
the South.


We Yesterday gave an outline of the proceedings
| at the Abolition Meeting held on Monday evening,
! Il the church corner Of Caharine and Madison
streets; at which the Rev. Mr. Galasher gave an
outline of the proceedings at the humbug Worlds
| Convention, recently held in London.
We consider the SUBJECT of so much Importance TO
the South however, detailing openly the villain
Gus designs efthe abolitonists in order to destroy
the interests OF the southern planter that we advert
1, il again to-day. Besides variety of extraneous
and wheles ale abuse of all come cted with slavery in
this country Mr.. GalGsher delivere hmseif of the
| 70 lowing remarks.
He .aid. That meeting in London-the World's
! Conyention-was attended solely by men OF wealth.
nv men of inte gritty, by men OF sternness OF pur-
p.se and by men powerful in action. Those me n
mad heads 10 plan, wealth to carry out and hearts 10
execute the means by which the entire destruction
ofthe system of slavery in our southern States could
soon be effected. And thew will he assisted in all
these measures, heart and hand, by the sboionists
of this country. Ali other means to abolish the ac
cursed system of slavery in the Southern States of
this Unien have been tried and have failed. The
slave trade still goes in spite OF British and Anne
rican vessels of n out az number, In spite of the
mast solemn treaties and the slave dealer, alike re-
ioice in their iDiquitv.
But, thanks be to Heaven, the day is net far dis
tant when slavery shall cease for ever in this land
when nothing but the voice OF freemen shall be
heard in the south well as in the north. The DAYS
of the planter and the save-owner, and the slave
dealer. are numbered-the hand writing is on the
wall-the wrath of the Almighty has been aroused
Justice has slambered long enough-and at last, a
wav Of escape for the slave has neen found.
This way is the only one left that can destroy
southern slaverv-it is no ether than the gigantic
project of the East India Company, to raise suh'-
cient cotton by free labor in India, to enable Great
Britain TO be thoroughly independent OF the United
States for the production of the raw material Al.
ready the project is going head with great rapdly
1t will very soon be in the full tide OF successful
expcriment-it win soon render Great Britain and
the rest Of Europe totally independent of the slave
holding states and then the abolionists can dictate
what terms they please TO the slave holder
This is projsct of immen Sc Importance The whole
Of the Directors ofthe East India Company have en-
tered into il with the utmost enthusiasm; they have
advanced large sums OF money to get intelligent over
seers and others from the Southern States, no
successfully superntend the raising Of Cotton in In
dia They have purchased American gins, and eve
nv other material n cessary to ensure success; and
all feel confident that very short time viii see them
and free from the dictaton of the slave holder of
the South.
All good men have approved of this plan, and
have entered into il w tn avidity IT is the only way
70 reach the Southern planter and to make him feel
his impotence and TO punish him for the past w here
will he be able to sell his slave-abor cotton p! No
where. The British government. II is understood
have endorsed and sanctioned these proceedings,
and have no doubt advanced money Literally, TO
carry them out. And in so doing they only fulfil
the honest desires Of the whole British nation, as
set forth in the eloquent language of that most eo-
auent and noble amongst noble men, Mr. O'Connell
The British people detest slavery and viii not
allow their ministers or members ct parliament
TO sanction il in any way. They would soon unseat
any government that sanctioned slavery. We had
abundant proof of that when we were in England
They will not allow their fellow citizens 20 make
money by bowie knives, or whips, or shackles,
instruments Of torture tools, or anything con-
nected with slavery. So much do theydetest itthat
they will allow Of their capital to be invested in
any way, with any thing, any man, or set OF men,
or Institution connected with slavery.
They will hereafter ste their tune manu-
featuring slave labor cotoa they will not wear any
garments made from il ard of the north must fol-
low their noble example. Thus, and thus only shall
we crush the hydra headed moncter, slavery, in the
Southern States. All other means have failed, but
this shall be found triumphant, and will rebound to
the honor and glory Of all concerned in it,
This is bat outline of the remarks this meet
ing; and much detest the conduct and princi.
pes of the insurgent and scandalous abolition
lists, feel bound TO give them in order TO put our
southern friends their guard against the infamous
designs Of these crazy scoundrels.
