The Chief of police and sundry members OF the City

The Express remarks editorially upon these
proceedings:
The speech tof Garrson) carries its own anti dote
along with it, and therefore, should be looked upon as
more harmless and foolish than anything else. Any
man might see that such blackguardsm of the Chris
tan Church, OF the religious societies of the country
could harm nobody, but the man or men who give ut
terance to them.

his success complete, what is the moral effect of such
proceeding upon the COMMUNICATIVE but to multiply
four fold the rawlings such mad men Garrison and

We do not think the Globe took the proper way
of putting down the Abolition fanatics, when it
urged Rynders and his crew to invade their meet
ings; but we are of opinion that it would we'll
become the great city of New York legally to
prevent the assembage of such concave as this
Anti-Slavery Society within its limits. Such ra-
wings as those of Garrison should be aba ted as
nuisance in every decent community, and the fact
that such mscreant as Douglass was announced
as one of the speakers, was enough to induce the
interposition of the city police.

some seventy or eighty citizens OUT of poll Of ten

for the meeting was only partially given and ad-
dressed to "the friends of the Convention" 1t de-
clares that it was :" party affair throughout" But
