:" Ws nast haze an anti-slarery consti-

This was addressed to an assemblage of
the people of Boston, the capitol of q State
claiming % be the most religious, moral,
enlightened, and educated, law abiding
members of the American confederation,
by the man they had chosen to represent
them In the Congress of the United States,
and assist in making laws for the govern
ment of some twenty millions Of freemen;
and this was sanctioned by wholesale, and
in the most explicit words by a senator of
the United States, also recently chosen by
these same religious, moral, enlightened,
well educated, law abiding people. Com
| ing abroad, then, under such high sanction,
we are to presume these points imbody the
great fundamental principles on which the
fusion party is based, and. as such, they
call for strict analysis. Let US, there
fore, calmly inquire what is their meaning,
and to what ends their practical application
will lead.
awe must have an anti-slavery constitu-
ltion'-that is to say, a constitution roevk-
i ing all the guarantees which were intend
ed to secure. and now protect, the right of
| fifteen States to the possession of property
amounting to some fifteen hundred millions
of dollars. Is it possible to conceive for
/ single moment that these fifteen States, or
any of them, will voluntarily assent to this
anti-slavery constitution, by which they
will be not only bsggared in property, but
zoA nd do.
mestic relations Or, is it possible to con.
ceive that mere legislative coercion can
compel them to make these sacrifces?-
Did the wild rawlings of fanatieism, or the
iinsidious7 seductions of hypocrisy, ever
lachieye such miracle? No man who
i looks into his own heart and investigates
the springs that govern human action can
believe it for a moment.
i An anti-slayery constitution is, therefore,
only another phrase for the dissolution of
the Union. Peaceable secession, or Vi
olent and bloody revolution, must be the
, inevitable result. Thus the first object of
4 the man who represents the fusionists of
Massachusetts, in the next Congress is the
dissolution of the Union, for that is the plain
English of an anti-slavery constitution
To prove this, we do not resort to mere In
ference. The abolitionists, now fused III
with the know nothings, have over and
over again publicly declared s'they would
give the Union for the abolition of slavery.
'sWe must have an anti-slayery Bible"
Iquoth the Hon. Anson Burlingame-that is
to say, we must discard that volume which
is the basis OF the Christian faith, and with
tout which it cannot stand, and either adopt
a new one or so modify it as to suit. the
views of the Hon. Anson Burlingame and
his inspired associates. The Prophet Gar.
lrison. the CANCEL Gabriel" and Abby Fos-

GoD!" Does moi every sincere Christian
shudder with horror and shrink with dis
} gust from this blasphemous annunciation?-
The God of Abraham. Isaac, and Jacob;
tthe God who spoke unto Moses from Mount
Sinai; the God, the Father, of the Redeem
J er of the human race, must give place to
the God ofthe Hon. Anson BurlIngame;
the God of William Lloyd Garrison; the
God of those who believe In no God; the
God who has no attribute but that of the
anti-siayely God! We recol with mex
Ipressible loathing from such blasphemous
balderdash, and nothing but the solemn OBJ
litigation we feel to warn the people of the
United States against the consequences of
the adoption of such principles could pos
isibly induce us to sully our columns with
such exec1able rawlings, which mediate the
Iprostratien of the laws of man, the laws of
God and of God himself
Such, then, is the creed of the abolition
} lists at least of Massachusetts,, now fused
with the know-nothings, and constituting
one party.
