The Gathering Ants iavsry storm III VIII
Be veil for the South, a. soon as possible, to
appreciate the fact that the next six months Is
to witness the organization Of the NOS, extern
sive, interruptions, and excited anti slavery
party in every non-slsveholdins State, 90 far
exciting in this country, whose ain is to DO
the entire destruction of tho institction Of ne
gro slavery under this 0oyernnsnt. s4ir.
Seward Is to be its chief, and his Heutenants
are to DO those in every northern State most
cfsmorous for place and famous for successful
demagogia~. The scheme is, in fact, grand
conspiracy for the elevation of men to high
places, by playing upon the most dangerous
passions and prejudices Of those in whose cha
ractsrs as politicians, Jealousy, ignor anoe, and
selfsuficieny are the leading elements The
reports Of the proceedings of the recent Sara
toga convention, exhibit at a'glance not only
the aninus With which this new party is to be
&C uated, but the style of argument on which
its leaders are to rely for success We need
hardly add, that 90 far a the respec. for the
guaranteed rights Of tho slave.holdipg States

there is to be not the slightest practical diff

of Fred Douglass and Vim. Lloyd Garrison

voters for every one who belonged to the old
Abolition organization. We expect to see it
sweep over the North like hurricane, for a
twelve month ~ least az, besides the dupes
it will control temporarily, it will gather into
its folds multitude Of bad men in all quarters
of men who shape their politics altogether
according TO their momentary personal inte-
rests. We despair Of seeing 1t soon success
fully resisted at the North. Of late years the
leaders Of the conservative interest in the
northern Wing party have made a trade of

once were their followers, that they have lost
all confidence in them. This is the key to the
fact that those who would use Mr. Fillmore
by protesting to be his right-hand men, are
now so deplorably weak everywhere in the
North. As for the Democratic party Of the North
we have almost as little confidence in their
ability to stem the torrent. The convention
system, as practiced there, has put in prominent
local political positions, to great extent, mere
puppets of grogshop, office. seeking mana.
