ABOLlTIONIST AGITATION.

truding upon his notice the following
Geographic report of days proceed
ing of the Anti-Slavery Convention
now in session at Boston. The state
ment is too blasphemous and filthy 10 be
tolerated as an ordinary item of intel
ligence; but its republication may serve
TO convey in brlef space fair epitome
of the dlabolical stuff that constitutes
The staple of the most approved aboli-
ZIONIST harangues. We take our copy
from the New York Tribune:
"BosToN, Wednesday, May %, 1852.
/ "The Anti-slavery Convention reas-
sembled this morning. Edmund Quincy
in the chair.
"Mr. Garrison presented a new batch
of resolutions, chiefly against colonial
ton and the church. They declare
that the church is the bulwark of slave
ry in this country; that it is the laugh
ty, corrupt, implacable, and hideous foe
of proper christianity and anti-slavery.
and the vilest imposture.
"Parker Pillsbury appeared as chief
orator. He thought that religion spu-
rious which required evidence written
in books Of its genuiEeness-tha man is
the best calculated to be a professor in
theological seminaries who is the best
dispu!ant. The seminary at Andover
has recently lost two of its eminent pro-
fessors; from what he could understand
of the character of Jesus Christ, He
would be just the last person in the
world who would be selected to fill the
chair of either of these eminent profess
sors, if He were candidate. Christ
was no disputant; He was not posted up
in doctrine enough to fill the post res
pectable, and would not give satisfac-
ton to the faculty. Mr.. Pillsbury said
the church Of America was but the kept
mistress of the most damnable govern
ment that ever cursed the earth. At
this moment, he said, the streets of
Boston are black with clergymen-thick
as cows in a orn-feld-and what are
they doingl All they can do is to shut
up the kingdom of God. Daniel Web
ster and the city government of Boston
wish to subvert the City Of the King
dom of God among men, and they wish
tn use the Methodist General Conferen-
&c to help them along with their work.
For this purpose Daniel Webster threw
sop TO the Cerberus of Methodxm in
Faneul Hall. 1t has been said, we
have new Trinity in this country; he
believed it and new Trinity Of wor-
shippers, also. He thought it would
not be inappropriate to class that Trini-
ty thus: Daniel Webster, the Father
Captain Rynders; the Son, and the Me-
thodist General Conference, If you
please, the Holy Ghost. Kisses and
applause
1t is idle to say that proceedings Of
this character are unworthy of notice
because they emanate from fraction of
the nothern people. Let it be granted
that the WENDELL PHlLLIpsEs, and GAR
RIsoNs, the PARKERs s, and other orators
of the Pillsbury school are repudiated |
by the great bulk of the citizens Of
Massachusetts, still the tact that such !
men pursue their traitorous vocation a
midst the cheers of crowded audiences
is sufficient to awaken apprehension in
the mind of every lover of peace, and |
to justify more frequent references to
the subject than have of late been
made by any southern journalist.
We are willing to believe that MEM
bers of the Society of Friends do not
endorse the blasphemies of GARRISON or
PlLLsBURY; but the whole are nevethc-
less found laboring in unison to keep
alive the bitterest form OF sectional
strife, and to excite the North to man
Hesitation OF hostility to the operation of
the Fugitive Slave law. Whatever dit
ferences may exist between the profess
eddy pious members Of the old anti
slavery organization and the ayowed
infidels of the so-callcd "Liberty party"
their objec's are the same, and the ten
denotes Of their movements alike des-
tructive. One organization petitions
Congress for repeal of the Furgltive
Slave law-the other labors unremit
tingIy to excite opposition 10 that law;
and, if possible, to impede its operation.
The distinction betwt en- them is mere
ly that which exists between diluted
treason and treason "over proof"
