woke at one moment anti. masonry, at another anti
rsntsm, or some other equally destructive isu. at
another socialism and at last abofitionsm nd sla-
very agitation; and now crowding the m ali into
one prodigious dose Of fanaticism and oily and en-
deayoring to produce on the public mind the neces
sity of that kind of Interference Nth this Union and
this republic that tends 10 .eak il into thousand
rieces and that may be tie cause, unless averted,
of the destruction of tbs great metropolis and all
its interests. II is undeniabe that the species Of
anti slavery agie.don set on foot and fsmented by
VIM II. Seward, and his colleagues in political
villany-Weed, Greeley IL Co.--has directly such a
tendency, in the present position of sff,rs IN this
State ard throughout the North; and that, il this
inilue nee should prevail in the coming election,
it will lay train Of excitement in the South which
will menace the integrity of the Union, and drive
that portion of the ceafederacy to take q stand on
heir reserved rights, in order to maintain their
cai institutions against the efforts of Northern
fanatics, of whom Seward and his associates are
the head and front. There is ne denying that we
live in revolutionary times. The slavery agitators
| are endeavoring not only TO drive the South to
seek peace and safety in the dissolution of this go-
| rous Union, but are at this ment in cucatInp
practical notification of the laws of Congress-ad
| ly and boldly-have done so at the Syracuse Abo-
iton Convention; and the nominees of that con-
veniion are mixed up and identified with such doc.
rines. 1t therefore, becomes the inhabitants OF
this great metropolis to rut check on those move
| ments which tend 10 such destructive ends-to
limit and circmscribe them, much as possible,
by forming perfect union in favor of the constitu-
ton, and by supporting those measures of Congress
which have for their object the prolongaton OF this
happy republic, the supremacy of the constitution
and the laws, and the continued splendor ani pros
perity of this mighty metropolis. In taking such a
course, they will not only be dischargng 4 patri-
otto duty, but protecting their own immediate and
personal interests, not for a day or week, but
until the agitators shall have been put down and
silenced. If they do not take such a course, we
may expect to see the Southern States driven to
adopt course that will be most disastrous to New
York and the whole North. New York would
then become, instead of great and mighty city,
as il is, place of ruin and disaster-of bankruptcy
and poverty. Let our readers ponder on what we
say, and act accordingly
