But we are here at Syracuse; we are no
longer permitted TO gather in the metropolis
Of New York. What n spectacle A city
with brothels innumcrable--all proteated by
law! With grog-shops innumernble, pro-
tected by law With Shareholders and abet-
tors of Slavery innumerabe, protected by
tdic! But with no protection for peaceful
meeting of freemer, christians and philan-
thropists assembled for the highests of tho
nation. To this they have done as did the
Gadareens TO the good and pure; they huvo
cried, "Depnrt ont of our coasts"
This speech was cheered at every step,
aud he closed by reading Whiuier's fne
poem,
"God bless yc brothers in the fight
Which yo arc waging now"
Mr. Walker, of Ohio, mnde very excel
lent speech, in which he sketchcd the course
of the Slave Power, and its constant en-
cro0cbments upon the rights of the free peo-
| pie Of the country.
Henry G. Wright followed, commenting
upon the Inconsistency which visits the stern
est punishment upon the ragged thief but
excuses the sinner in broad cloth while bam-
ing the sin.
MIR. Garrison rose and remarked The great
bard of nature has truly said "Thrice il ho
armed who bath his quarrel just, and he but
mixed though locked up in steel whose con
science is corrupt" Who are those who are
calm and serene at this hour of excitement?
Whence this excitement? They toll us we
are fanatics, mudmen, poor aud poworless,
yet we are the people against whom the
great and mighty of the land are gathered
together. Job tells us that in the ear of the
opprcssor there is terrible sound" ] an
convinced that the tyrants in this land losle
now n terrible sound, and that is, "No Union
with Shareholders" This doctrine is start
ling, it is true all reform doctrines are start
ling. When we first uttered the doctrine of
"immediate and unconditional emancipation"
there was a universal outcry yet now that
doctrine startles no one, now the preaching
of instant repentance is heard and acted
upon.
Abiding to political laudations of the
" Fathers ofthe Revolution" :" he honored their.
colIrnge and heroic strength, without con-
cealing their sins and Inconsistencies. But
the fawning parasites who now sell Freedom
and their country while lauding those hardy
old heroes would be secuted by those old
soldiers and statesmen-Wa Washington, Han
cock, Adams and othcrs-could they como
forth from their graves, they would turn to
the Aboliiionists as the true friends of Amer.
ica, the only lovers of liberty in the land.

You mean to have the Fugitive Slave Law

Well, friends, tell you it will never be done.

your hand as turn back the Slave Power
1t never turns back It always carries iIs
point, and triumphs over all your efforts to
legislate against it. Its course will be now,
as il hus ever been, TO throw its present hor-
rible crime into the shade by perpetrating n
more hideous and startling one. The Fugi-
tive Slave Law will be made TO look small
by the side of the next encroachment upon
the rights of man. Already the game of tho
of Cuba and of llayti are upon the
board, and they will doubtless both finally
for they are both Southern schemes.
Mr. Thompson remarked that "ile houror
had arrived, and he did not wish
to mar by any words of lis the profoundly
deep and powerful speech of MIR. Garrison"
"No man." said Mr.. Thompson "can diss
guise from himself the importance of the
question Of the dissolution OF the American
Ir..n ;s,

Union. deal with the great principles of
Freedom aud Truth, which lay at the foun-
dation of all great reforms. / grapple as
once with the crime of Slavery, and leave
you to settle your political questions among
yourselves"
Mr. Thompson continued at considerable
length, aud closed amid the cheers of tho
Mr. McKim stated that lie was authorized

cher, of the French National Assembly, tho
