AEoLTIoSIsN RAMPAST-ADDREss OF GERRIr
SEITH.-The address Of Gerrii Smith the well
known abolitonist, to the liberty party, called
which we publish in our columns to-day, is one Of
the most tanatioal, one Of The most dangerous and
one Of the most insurrectionary documents, that
was ever circulated in this country After pointing
out the necessity Of the ultra abolitonists organz-
ing their forces, and voting In a solid phalanx at
the next election, appeals to the party TO support
the paper published by Fred Douglass, the fugitive
slave refers not only approvingy but exaltiagly
to the daring and atrocious outrage recently com
nitted il Syracuse; and worat, most hldeous aai
most disbolcsl Of al, it actually encourages nsur

Of Gerrit Smiths address TO the liberty party
Now what is it that has instigated this man 10
issue such daring document as this a documen;
that in some European countries would consign is
author TO imprisonment for lise not 10 the gal.
lows The answer is plain. For years past Mar
tin Van Buren, on the one side, and William II. Se~-
ard On the other, have been preaching abolition
doctrines, and coquetting in every possible way with
the other natical aboltionists for the purpose OF
gratifying personal revenge, reaching place and
power These demsgogues have svowsd doctrines
on the subject Of slavery which, although apparently
not 50 atrocious ~ what are advanced By Gerhs
smith and Lloyd Garriscn, lead dre,tly to the same
deplorsble result-viz the enactment Of scenes Of
horror, bloodshed, and carnage, similar 10 what
occurred in san Domingo some years since. Van
Buren, and Seward are too cunning and too eau
iiods to 90 as far az Gernt Sm tn, and advocate
Instruction, and the s'au sh,er Of the whites In
the Southern states by the slaves; but their doc
trnes tend that way; and, II carried into sereci,
nothing could prevent civil war that wosli be
attended BY consequences tia; are frgLtfs 10 con

But it is not Martin Van Bu-en and wm r.
Seward alone who should bear the Cd um q thcse
things. The two political parties Of the North,
wings and democrats, are as csnsurable, ani per-
hsps more 60, than they are. They have billed,
and coed, and courted, and embraced the aboii-
.ioniss, and brought them into ialuence. TAey
arc doing so at the present hour. and the Uni5n
Safety Committee Of New York are'supporiirg ald
