Grand Anti.slavery Convention In Syracuse.
In consequence, it is said Of the events which oc-
Cured here last May, when the abolition fanatics
were holding their convention in the Tabernacle,
and in consequence of the tremendous demonstra-
ton Of loyalty to the laws and to the city, which
have been made within the past few years, the Car
risons and Phillips and Parkers, and others Of the
abolition school of fanatics have determined on Civ
ing New York vide berth this year, and on hold
ing their convention at Syracuse instead The
following is the JronuN c,azeto which they have IS
sued on the subject
from the Boston Lie berater

This determination on the part of the fanatics
will not be regretted by our citizens, for we caA
dispense very well with the disgraceGal and unnatu-
raj which the people of New York have here
tofore witnessed in their proceedings. In Syracuse
they will have full swing to hand coffee and cakes
to the black wenches at the abolition breakfasts,
and to embrace them, if they please. Wendell
Phillips may be permitted, without mourning the
hostility Of the friends Of the constitution, to tear
that sacred instrument into pieces aud tramrle it
under foot, as he has done time and again in New
York, in justification for the wrongs inflicted under
it on his "colored bredem and sstern." We can
well dispense with all these fantastic and treason
able tricks, and envy not the people of Syracuse u
the entertainment which the fanatics are preparing
for them.
But what has become Of the loud threats of what
the abolitionists would '1, If hey were not per-
mitted to hay Uay They asserted most
solemnly, ST uce, that, constitution or no
constitute .a law, they would not allow a
fugitive > be taken out of Massachusetts,.
They even threatened to resist the execution Of the
law by force, and talked great deal Of parading
with muskets and ball cartridges. Nothwithstand-
ing oil this, and much more, they found they could
not repeat the game they played in the case Of
Shadrach, and the fugitive Simms was delivered up
on the demand Of his owner. Instead Of using
powder and ball, they sang "Old Hundred" and
From Crsenland's ley Mountains" at the officers,
when S.mms was being taken on board of the vessel
which was to take him back to his master. These
certainly very harmless weapons to be directed
against the law, and the list Of killed and wounded
the occasion is, Of course very small, according
to the Official returns.
There is, however, something more in selecting
the next abolition convention, than the refusal Of
the propretors Of halls to allow them the use Of
their premises. We are satisfied that the main
object is to operate the whig party in the western
part Of this State to influence the result of the
election which will take place next fall in favor of
the whig abolitionists, the leaders Of whom
Seward, Weed, Greeley Co.-have recently gone
over to the Garrison fanatics, body and bones.
These demagogues have formed an alliance with
the aboltionists, as We always said they would and
they desire now to bring their followers one step
further, 90 that they may be identified with the
fanatics, and form portion Of their rank and file.
little more, and the matter will be accomplished.
Such have always been the policy and tactics Of
Thurlow Weed-the head and front Of the Seward
clique and principal wire-puller behind the curtain.
He and his associates have effected several political
organizations in this State, which he and his col
leagues have managed to unite previous to every
election. They commenced with the anti-masonic
excitement, growing out Of a solitary murder, which
they famed, to suit their purposes into fame
that extended throughout the State. They next
seized on anti-rentism; then they got hold of a
portion Of the whig party; and lastly, they have al
lied themselves with the anti-savery element, and
in opposition to the friends Of the Union and the
constitution, to promote their own purposes
1t is time, then, for the friends Of the Union and
The laws to take counsel among themselves as to
what is best to be done in the emergency. They
should a; organize committees in every county
and town in the State, and. instead Of scattering
sermons and speeches, as the Union committee Of
New York did, at great expense, they should back
up the great cause which We all have at heart, by
action. The Union Safety Committee wasted thou
sands and thousands Of dollars last year proppng
ny politicians and sinking journals, to no purpose.
1heie is abundance Of wealth and intelligence and
cotton, if you please, to put down abolitonism in
this State, and throughout New England, i they
we're properly called out and properly organized.
