by this curious and barefaced pronunciamento it is
apparent that there is in this State an organized nsti-
tuition or society. whose object it is entice slaves
from their.owners in the Southern States and to pro-
tect and conceal fagitives who may run away from
their masters. We do not know that more insulting
or mendacious article ever came under our notice.
1t invites such persons as have escaped from slavery
and those who are resolved to stand by them, meet
not simply for an exchange of congratulations as
we are given to understand but for the consideration
OF such subjects as pertinent to the present pros
Pect and condition of the slave and free colored pop
nlation of the country. In other words the object
the proposed meeting is to devise additional measures
tor the purpose of encouraging the slaves of the South
to fly from their happy homes and throw themselves
on the protection Of the abolition natics who in re-
turn, will allow them to black their boots, or give
them the liberty of starving.
Now, we would ask all fair and candid men, what
the Southern States think of the North when thew
see published. in whig organ. this unscrupulous
and factiOus document. They have evidence before
them of the existence of association organized for
the express purpose of violating the constitution of
the United States, and of, in addition, committing
robbery under Southern laws Is it any wonder that
they throw in our teeth the assertion that the North
dlsregards the constitutions that they act up to it only
so far as suits their own purposes, and that they
ever willing and prepared to violate it, for the grati-
hcaton of their fanaticism, or the indulgence of an
abstract theory of humanity, which cannot see any
field for the exercise Of its benevolence at home, but
must go abroad discover objects fit for charity and
assistance? We would venture our existence against
cocoanut. that there is individual connected
with this ncendiay society, who, if he became owner
tomorrow of lot of negroes would give freedom to
one of them, without receiving beforehand his market
value in cash approved acceptances,'' from the
biggest of them down to the smallest. And, not
withstandiug that we have this evidence of such
society existing in our midst, we hear great deal
about Southern fanaticsm, Southern slavery, and
Southern everything else that is bad. We hope the
time will come when these destructives will have
justice meted out to them. N. Y, Herald
