A New MoDE OF COLLECTING DEDTs.-
An amusing incident was told us by Mr..
Wood yesterday, which ifit could be gen.
orally resorted TO for the collection of
debts, would entirely supersede the
necessity Of recourse to law. Itappears
that person in our city was Indebted to
Herr Driesbach, (now performing with
his Royal Tiger at Woods Museum, )and
who upon being called upon to liquidate
the debt was at the time unable to comply.
Driesbach made no reply, but with great
good humor, went for his qualified agent,
his pet Tiger, and opening the door of
the gentlemans office, inserted therein
the head of the animal still holding him,
however, by the chain, In jocular man
ner he informed his debtor that unless he
met his demand, he would let the Tiger
in the room with him, The gentleman
much alarmed at the garing eyes of the
apparently savage animal, earnestly beg
ged him not to do SO, and at once paid
the amount, We think this about the
strongest appeal that a person could make
to debtor, and certainly the most eff.
cent collector that could we'll be employ

LUNAcY-Anh Slavery COncehtiO".-
The Abolitionists held meeting at Sy-
racuse, New York. few days since, for
the purpose of expressing their indigna-
ton at suudry events lately transpired.
and II we are to judge from some OF their
resolutions, it is very difficult to say
whether the meeting was composed ot
knaves or fools. Out of charity. we will
take it tor granted that both classes were
present. Among the members were Gar
ret Smith, Fred Douglass, Foster and
Abby Kelly his wife, and some others Of
like character. They had a glorious time
of it, until the resolutions which were
prepared for the occasion, were present
ed by MIR. Smith, when considerable of a
disagreement arose and portion of the
audience retired to another place, and or.
ganized another convention. The por
lion that remained adopted long series
of resolutions, of which we give con
jensed account.
They proclaim the fugitive slave law
inhuman and unholy aud declare thatthey
will offer both active and passive resist
ance to the execution of its provisions;
They brand Churches which counten.
ance obedience To the law and Preacher
who advise il, as corrupt, and add that If
the current religion of the day was ex-
changed for blank infJelity, the abolition
Of slavery would be comparatively easy
They then render thanks TO Almighty
God for liberating Chaplin from the
dreary prison to which villainous and pi.
ratical Governments had committed him,
and ask the benevolent to relieve him
from pecuniary embarrassmonts;
They resolve sundry other things of a
like character in choice phrases, and then
declare that it a0ould not be a laU'css act,
but lamtai as sceH a humane and reli.
gious act, TO demolish the prison walls
which now confne Drayton and Sayres
for aiding slaves to escape.
The above will do as sample. These
men are becumiug bolder and fear not to
consul resistance 10 the laws. forgetting
that in days past they called upon the
laws to protect themselves We are OF
ahe opinion, however, that this violence

into the ranks of Abolilinnism by appeals

aud good citizenship. The very threat

Public opinion has already undcrgrne
a great change. AT first, good men. who
have M sympathy for slavery in any form
were induced to murmur against the Ell

little reflection soon persuaded them to
bear with what ills we have rather thar
