AbOIitiOnist Agitation.

An apology is due to the reader for obtruding
upon his notice the following telcgraphic report
of davis proceedings of the Antl-Slavery Con-
yention now in session at Boston. The statement
is too blasphemous and filthy to be tolerated as an
ordinary item of intelligence but its republication
NAV serve to convey in brief space fair epitome
of the diabocal stuff that constitutes the staple of
the most approved abolitionist harangues. We
take our copy from the New York Tribune:
"A Boston, May 26, 1852.
GThe Anti-Slavery Convention reassembled this
morning, Edmund Quincy in the chair. The Me-
lodeon was about two-thirds filled, and of the
dience about two-thirds were females

tions chiefly against colonization and the church.
They declare that the church is the bulwark of
slavery in this country; that it is the naughty

christianity is the boldest erontery and the viest

He thought that religion spurious which required

seminary at Andover has recently lost two of its
eminent professors; from what he could under

be just the last person in the world who would be
selected to fill the chair of either of these eminent
professors, if He were a candidate. Christ was
no disputant; He was not posted up in doctrine
enough to fill the post respectfully, and would not
give satisfaction to the faculty. Mr.. Pisbury said

Boston are black with clergymen-thick as crows

EVENING SESSION.
'At the session. This evening, Theodore Parker
made speech to crowded audience. on the pre-
sent condition and future prospects OF the slave
power in the United States. During his address
he alluded to the Hon. Charles Sumner and the
distrust that anti-savery men began to feel ofhim
For himself, he believed Mr.. Sumner would be
found true to his principles, and would show moral
courage to the nation that would endear him to
the friends of liberty throughout the world.
while Mr.. Parker speaking, somebody
sent note to the platform, announcing that MIR.
Sumner had to-day introduced bill for the repeal
of the Fugitive Slave law. This was mistake,
of course but it was received with frantic mani
teStations of Joy, and three times three cheers for
Sumner, which made the building shake.
Some one inthe gallery called for three cheers
for Webster, and they were given most heartily
by at least half of the audience"
1t is idle to say that proceedings of this charac-
ter are unworthy of notice because they enanate
from fraction of the northern people. Let it be
granted that the Wendell Phillipses the Garrisons,
the Parkers and other orators of the Pillsbury
school repudiated by the great bulk OF the
citizens of Massachusetts,, still the fact that such
men pursue their traitorous vocation amidst the
cheers of crowded audiences is sufficient to awak
en- apprehension in the mind of every lover OF
peace and to justify more frequent references to
tine subject than have of late been made by any
southern journalist.
We are willing to believe that members of the
Society of Friends do not endorse the blasphemies
of Garrison Pillsbury; but the whole are never
theless found laboring in unison to keep alive the
bitterest form of sectional stre and to excite the
North to manifestation Of hostility to the opera
ton of the Fugitive Slave law. Whatever differ
ences may exist between the professedly pious
members of the old anti-slavery organization and
the avowed infdelS of the so-called Liberty par
ty" their objects the same, and the tendencies
of their movements alike destructive. One organ
ization petitions Congress for repeal of the Fu-
gitive Slave law-the other labors unremittingly y
to excite opposition to that law and if possible, to
impede its operation. The distinction between
them is merely that which exists between diluted
treason and treason 'over proof Republic.
