the subject without noticing il in a manner at once
serious and impressive. The present is a moment
when we stand almost, as il were, on tn brnk ola
dissolution Of the Cnion-a separation Of these
States-and, perhaps, hong and bloody civil war.
What has brought about this awful state of thngsl
What has excited the South almost to pitch of
medness! We answer, in the main, the action Of
these very societies. They gather in New York
the first and second weeks in May, to compare
notes, hold meetings, and raise money. They are
all Of one side of thinking in regard TO slavery.
There is no opposition. When they meet, they
have their own way, and no check. They come
from all sections, very much excited about the
institution Of slavery in the South, and the wrongs
of their colorod brethren and sisters. They mix
with them, eat drink, pray, preach, sing, and, by
the time the week is over they are ready to go
home TO their various sections, ravng, stark staring
mad on the topic, and disseminate their outrageous
and false sentiments all through the length and
breadth of the free States. The South hear of
these rawlings, and fancy the whole North are en-
gagged in them, instead of these few miserable
fanatics. This slavery question will not only shake

not far distant when Presbyterian minister in
the South, or even layman, if he continues in
communion with the North, will have to run for
his life, or else run for martyrdom or crucifxion.
The merchants, men of business, and men of
property, in this city, should rown down the meet
ngs of these mad people, if they would save them
selves. What business have all the religious luna
tics of the free States to gather in this commercial
city for purposes, which, if carried into efectwou
ruin and destroy its prosperity! Will the men of
allow meetings TO be held in this city, which
are calculated to make our country the arena of
blood and murder, and render our city an object of
horror TO the whole South 4! We hope not. Public
opinion should be regulated. These abolitionists
should not be allowed to misrepresent New York
