ABOLITION EXCITEMENT.
The degree OF violence which marks the proceedings
II ihe abolition party in this city at the present time We
Relieve is without precedent in this Stateat least within
msny wears past, That violence is apparent in the
language Of The excited parties than in their acts Yet il
cannot he concealed that where the language OF denun
c;son and intimidation, such has become common IN
here Is reason apprehend that such violence may lead
10 actual personal attacks upon the parties freely de-
nouoced The reports which 60 abroad of the proceed

fists Of these violent tend al distance
IRON the scene Of these proceedngs to produce most
uavorabe effect upon the character of our community
Il would be difficult for strangers who read the reports
Of these proceedings to reconcile them with the belief
that the people OF Boston the friends of order and
good government ana mat very great majority OF them
more determined to enforcS their execution il resisted
Such, however, is unques.ionaLy the fact.
One consoaiory inference, we think may be drawn
from the violence Of the language used these occa
SONS II is that the leaders these assemblies perceive
that the number OF those who sympathize with them in
their proceedings is rapidly diminishing and they are
to excite the courage and zeal OF their associates
mWoPoion TO the decrease OF their numbers That they
conscious OF the waning OF their influence is apparent
from the amenation OF the president OF the meeting at
ID. fremont Temple yesterday, when he says, report
initiation and regret that look back and see where Mas.
aehusetis stood twelve or thirteen months ago, and
where many Of her citizens stand now" Where, we
may ask do we hnd now thousands OF those who twelve
months ago were willing to listen TO the declarations of
such orators den0unce the supporters of the con-
auton and the laws! They are 10 be found among
he steady and firm supporters OF those laws.
Wha, but feeling OF anger and evaporation. instead
Of calm determination to discharge public duty in the
candid uerance OF deliberate opinions public measures,
could prompt the Of such epheis in reference the
laws Of the land were uttered BY the speaker above
referred to, the occasion Of opening the discussions

States, styed by him execrable statute" and he

an act Of treason against the rights of lie speaks
those who manifest their determination TO support this
law az guilty OF high treason against God and humanity.
II is gratifying TO observe that. notwithstanding The
excited of the defamation these occasions and
the disoreanzing recommendations which occasion
ally embraced in the resolutions OF these assemblies they
DO not produce the effect Of exciting the mosi
bousbless, in any formidable numbers. TO determine
lion Of actual resistance The legal proceedings 60 on in
orderly and quiet manner. and the laws which are
much decrled we have no doubt will be executed.
But the law has trumphed over all, backed as
by the judges, both federal and State by the
two marshals, federal and city; by the mayor and
police Of the city; by the volunteers OF the town. and
he force Of the firm and enlightened spirit of The friends
aibs law. Werejoics at this triumph and we are sure
that none will more heartily rejoice at il than the Presi
dent Of the United States We rejoice that almo. every
stain or suspicion is expunged from the escutcheon
Of Boston. We reecho with all hear, the eloquent
exclamation Of Judge Woodbury. from The tribunal Of JUS
ice which he so nobly graces: +" Thank God, Massa.
ehuseis is still State of the Union~ We trust the
whole course Of the North will be in harmony with thi,
decision, for then the Union stands upon rock which
may battle all the clamors OF it's enemies and may def,
al the storms which may assail it,
There is feature, however. in the denou<ment OF
ms transaction which is a source OF profound regret
We regret that the slave not carried out openly in
Ae broad face of day. and conveyed by land TO Sayan
nah. he should not have been sent in the night on
@iPooard Those who were meditating rescue should
have been openly 0e6ed. and any attempt to effect j,
should have been put down at every hazard
we are aware ii may be said that the mode and time
Of transportation adopted for the sake OF avoiding
we shedding OF blood. We wish that this may no, ul,i
na'ely prove great mistake distant spectator see,
more OF the game even than the players themselves
We lear that the moral influence OF this transaction,he
Impression it may make upon the aboIi,ionis,.-
be weakened by the manner in which i, was effected
Every issue should have been boldly met at once
We fear that the present example is calculated 10 reviv,
