to express the profound sympathy ofour pop

ttt'on in the United States, and of that glo-
rious Union 10y which il has been so long fos-
tered, protected and sustained. You arc
aware, sir, that but one opinion prevails here
ON this general subject. All parties and fac-
lions merge into one, on such a paramount
question. This will explain why the City
authorities assumed the responsibility of cali
ing and regulating this grand convocaiion.
The meeting convened in Pandemonium
Hall, at o'clock, p. NJ, yesterday, and num-
bered not less than $1,000 citizens. This is
one OF our most spacious public halls, and il

the roar of II salute from Forl Destruction,
and the dealening applause of the immense

called the Compromise Tnlmpeters, then
gave us one OF their most stirring airs, and
all was silence. His Honor now stated the
business of the meeting in a clear and sem

surprising eloquence, and responded 10 with
plaudits such as can he given in no part of
the universe. Bcelzebub, Molocb, Apolyon,
and even Bcliul, acquitted themselves in u
manner equal 10 their palmiest days. But l
hasten 10 present you the Resolutions, which
were adopted with acclamation, aenline con-

General PTsanlLte. Whereas the institu-

government and loyal ciiizeus thereof, as one
or yi'a Importance 10 the public prosperity;
and whereas the said institution, in the Uni
ted States of Americn, is Indispensable To tho
countoraction of those finaiica and danger
Gus doctrines Of Liberty which iomented the
vile Revolution OF I776; aud whereas the
Federal Constitution and Union of those
states has proved 10 be the only eiIectual
safeguard OF our peculiar institution, without
which it must soon be oyerthrown by the
ruthless hands of abolition fanatics and
whereas we have good reasons 10 susnect
that the hostile Powers above, ever maclina-
ing our ruin have iustigatcd the lerocious
William Lloyd Garrison and his Northern
Ooths to assail the said Union witha view 10
rcyolutionizc public sentiment, and thus bar
barously overthrow the whole system Of sla-

to render them unconscioLsy Instrumental
