The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1851-05-08

We published in sester2ay's Herald, a report Of
the proce edings Of the american and Foreign Anti
Slavery Society, and Of the speeches made on the
occasion particularly Henry Ward Beechers. This
society originated in New York, and up to within
short time had enjoyed the reputation of being
very moderate in its views. 1t is violent
the society started by Garrison in Boston, which
viii celebrate their twentieth anniversary to-day in
Syracuse, in the western part Of this State. The
former started in this city by Arthur and Lewis
TaPpan, and its newspaper organ was the JotSna
Of CemmGce-the first journal started anti
slavery sentiment Ctr report Of the speeches and
resolutions, and the terrible denuneiations of
slavery and Of Southern institutions, by the Rev.
Henry Ward Bcecher, tone Of the most infamma-
tory orators and ablest Of the abolitioniss of
the present day. shows that their views almost
If not quite, ultra those Of the Garrison abo-
tionists.
We publish to-day, Is n further confederation of
the doctrines of the -Egitators and incendiaries
North and south, the famous speech recently de-
fivered by Mr. Rkstt, Senator in Congress from
South Carolina, and who il the head Of the State
Rights Convention in session in Charleston;
and also extracts from The last report Of the Anti
Slavery Society now holding its session in SYRIA
cuse.
We put these documents in juxtaposition, not for
the purpose of increasing the agitltion which at
present exists, but to skew to both North aud
South, the exact condition Of public affairs in re
ference to the great question Of the day; and to
vince the citizens Of both extremes Of the dan
gerous prospect before u.s. and, If possible to bring
back within the bounds Of reason and moderation
the public mind Of botr sections. The Union is
like a candle ignitel at both ends. The fame Of
agitation is CONSUMING it at the North and at the
South; and ifit be not ariez.ed. the whole fabric
Of our government vii be consumed.

North, in relation 70 abolition, whether they are
