Extraordinary Anti-slavery Manifesto or
the American Anti-slavery society-In-
clpicnt Coalition Of the Scwaxd-ScOtt Par
~ and the Abolitionists.
We publish in our columns to day, the manifesto
ofthe American Anti.Slavery Society, signed by
the original founders OF the abolition movements in
the Northern States, developing the present position
OF the anti-slavery adberents towards tho other
parties of the day, and describing, in language Of
ing Presidential campaign. This is one of the most
important documents that has been issued by this
band Of ccnspirators against the constitution ard
the Union, during the last thirty years. It is as
much remarkable for the open and daring avowal
OF its reasonable doctrines, as it is for its repre-
sensations touching the existing state Of political
purposes and political men at the present interesting
crisis ofpubic affairs This document first made
its appearance last Saturday, in the columns of the
principal organ of anti slavery fanaticsm, socialism,
infdelity, and all other isms 1t is published at
this period in order to produce certain effect on
the Wing Convention, which will meet at Baltimore
to.morrOw-an effect designed TO advance the anti
slavery cause and to put down all those distinguish
edstatesmen ofthe wing ranks who have heretofore
been disposed, by their position in the executive
and legislative departments Of the governments to
set their faces in opposition to any further agitation
of those reasonable doctrines, and to ward of their
dreadful consequences to the future happiness and
union Of this country.
In order that there may be no mistake il the i'm
portance which we allege belongs to this docu-
ment and the purposes for which it is intended
annex the following remarks, which accompany
the manifesto in the organ in whose columns
it first appeared. 1t FIRST published last Satur-
day, and the following paragraph appeared in the

Summer to the United States Senate The Address is full
Of the btterest denuncatons Of wing Statesmen and
the general course Of the wing party.
This brief statement of the character Of the ad-
dress, coming from the organ Of VIM. II. Seward, is
Characteristic of the purposes which it is intended
to serve, and the effects it is expected to produce at
Baltimore and throughout the country, during the
approaching political contest. II is here acknow-
lodged that this extraordinary address is full Of
the bitterest denunciatons Of wing statesmen, and
of the general course Of the wing party And it is
so. But the statesmen who receive the denuncia-
tions Of this anti-slavery cabal, are such men as
President Fillmore, Secretary Webster, and those
other distinguished men of the wing party who have
signalized their moral courage their capacity and
their intelligence during the last two or three years,
in endeavoring to stay the torrent Of anti.savery
fanaticism, and to stand up in support of the COM
promise measures recently passed in Congress, as
provisional settlement Of that important question.
Not word is said in this address against General
Scott, William H. Seward, or against any Of the
opinions which have been uttered by the latter
Senator in his speeches in Congress on the stump
or by the former warrior, in the letters which he
has published in favor Of the nti-slavery senti
ment, and the ultimate abolition Of the institu-
lions of the South. In fact, the violence Of the
abuse and sarcasms issued against Mr.. Webster
IN this extraordinary document-signed by the
Iappans, who the original founders Of the exist
ing anti. slavery fanaticsm and approved of by the
Nec York Tribune, who also supports Seward and
Scott in the present position Of afairsonly receive
more edge and more meaning by the singular ST.
lenee which it maintains towards Seward and Scott
on the same subject. Indeed, knowing the Jesuiti-
col character Of the anti slavery cabal Of this city,
and Of their aiders and assisters in the Seward
Scott faction, we do not doubt that this document
is meant a thrust to the Southe rn wings, calcu-
lated to frghten and drive them to the support OF
General Scott as their candidate for the Presidency,
without any platform, and to the defeat Of Fillmore
and Webster, on the sole and entire ground Of the
support which they have hitherto given to the COM
promise measures.
II the bitter denunciations Of Mr.. Webster as the
leader OF the whig statesmen in favor Of the Com
promise, should have effect on the Northern de-
legates Of the Wing Convention, sufficiently strong
to have him thrown overheard and to have given to
the country the nomination Of General Scott with.
out platform principles. the object Of the new
coalition between the Tappan party and the Seward
party will be effected, by running every member Of
Congress- at the next election, the ground Of op-
position to the Fugitive Slave law. This is the pur-
pose which the conspirators have in view. Knowing
the Ignorance and vanity Of General Scott, and
that he can be used by the anti.slavery fac
tion Of the North to much more advantage,
for Interior designs, than either Mr.. Webster or
Mr. Fillmore they have formed this ncipicnt coali-
ton in order to unite all their force. in the whig
convention for his nomination, and after that l.
