GLoRIFlcATIoN Meeting IN MoBILE.-To.day
q portion Of the people of Mobile are to hold I
public meeting for the purpose OF testifying the
qualification and joy at the passage of the
\" Omnibus" bills through Congress. Well, thu
will be spectacle to eladden the heart f no
only every submissionst Mt the South, but o
every Freesoiler in the whole country, and W.
shall look with no small degree of curiosity t.
the publication of the letters from such invited
guests as will be unable to attend. Of course
Greeley and Tom Corwin have received pressing
invitations to be present; but we shall see.
These men, then, are to rejoice at, and to ce'e
brate, the victory which, after nine months
struggle, Free-soilism has gained over the Soutl
and the Constitution Of the country. They are
to rejoice at the contamination of n 'compro
mise between the North and the South, which
Is no compr0mise,-they are to rejoice at tht
passage of lay, intended to allay politica
agitation which It will MT and cannot allay =
they are to rejoice at the accomplishment of ar
adjustment" by which, the North gains every
thing and loses nothing they are to ,joice al
an event which proves Individually that the Free
soilers are after al mol unwilling to enter into
covenants with the South, WHICH surrender every
thing for which they are contending; which
proves individually that the Aboitionists of the
North can be brought to terms, and quieted
pheuerer the South consents 10 grant them erer,
Thing they ask and as fast as they ask IL!
This we repeat, will be spectacle of which
itself will be its only PARALLEL. What in the
name of heaven, can the South find in the re-
cent events to rejoice at ! Has she gained any
thing that was not already hers by the guarantee
Of the Constitution Is it possible that she was
so utterly weak, helpless, degraded and down
troddenas to rejoice that the institution slavery
was not abolished in the States as well rs in
the territories!-as to rejoice that her people
have not been hanged as well as robbed
1t is an every day event, and Que that is in
perfect accordance with our nature that people
should rejoice at the happening of an Occurrence
which results to their b.nefit--to rejoice over a
victory but to see them exultin. at their own
overthrow and degradation and rejoicing at the
prospect Of their utter ruin, is something new
under the sun that is n new phase of hui
manity, the only example of which in all the
wide world, will be exhibited this day in Mobile
After the 10 gest and fercest struggle in which
the North aud the South have ever engaged, the
former proves victorious and sgnases her tri-
umph by the abolition of the slave trade in the
District of Columbia and by the inhibition OF
slavery itself from all the public territory North
or South of the old " compromise line, and this
shameful and disastrous result, there are men Of
the South so blinded by prejudice and party
spirit, so infatuated or 50 cul pably stupid as to
gority and rejoice at in all the pomp and parade
of public celebrations! After this if the Adolf
ZIONIST of the North do not eradicate the entire
system Of African slavery from every State in
the Union in ten years, it will be their own
fault it will not be because there are not people
a, the South perfectly ready and willing to sab
