THE HOWLs OF THE ABoLITIONIsTs

THE AOWLS OF THE AbOLlVlONISTS.
A company of fanatics assembled the other
day near Jamaica, New York, to celebrate the
anniversary of British emancipation in the West
Indies. II consisted of people of every hue and
complexion, from milk white TO coal black. 1t
was addressed by several flaming, crazy Adolf
ton orators, among whom was the notorious
Garrison, whose frantic violence and blood
hound ferocty rather perplexes the question as to
whether he is more deserving of the mad-house
or the pillory. This Garrison thus closed his
disgusting harangue:
ssThis Union is a lie. The American Union is
an imposture, covenant with death and an
agreement with hell. The question is not one oil
parchment of Interpretation. 1t is question
of moral application and moral duty. But we
| have shown one weak spot. We have said that
| we will hold the American Union TO be para
mount to everything else, and will sacrifice TO il
| self-respect, manhood, liberty, and God. This
| is accepted by slavery a carte blanche, and
| whatever they demand we give. Charles Sumner
| and Henry Wilson are for Union, and whatever
| form the Anti-Slavery sentiment of the people
generally takes the feeling is entertained that the
Union must and shall be preserved. There is no
Union. Union is equality-Union is reciprocity;
but there is no Union about We have no rights
| even white men. Why continue these expert
ments! 1t is all madness-all deusion. Let
that Union go, and when it goes Slavery will 90
with it, and the slaves will rise up, and believe,
as Judge Culver told US, that the South would
be soon coming back at the point Of the bayonet
held by the slaves. | want the slaves to be set
free, and whatever may stand in the way of their
freedom j am for its overthrow If il is the
Church, then pronouncng the Church to be OF
Satan and not Of Christ, | am for its overthrow;
| if il is the clergy, then am for pronouncing
them to be sheep in wolves clothing, and putting
the brand deep on their foreheads wherever there
| is any countenance given to Slavery. Our bust
ness here is with ourselves. We hold in our
| hands the key whereby the dungeons may be I'M
locked and the slaves set free. do not speak 10
| the Shareholders; they are insane men, incapable
| Of hearing or of making an argument. But to
those who are the pillars Of the system, the peo-
| pie Of the North, educated and refined, the peo-
pie who constitute this American Republican,
appeal is to them, in the name Of God and Lib
erty. And ! say to them let give to the wind,
| the rallying cry NO Union with Shareholders
Up with the flag Of dsunion, that we may have
free and glorious republic Of our own, and
when that hour shall come the hour will have
arrived that shall witness the overthrow of Slave
| ry, and God will have made il possible for ms tc
be one people from the Atlantic TO the Pacific
| and like the pillows Of the ocean we shall mingle
| together. The way TO do this is 10 make nc
| compromise with shareholders or their abettors
and thus we shall have the blessing Of those who
are ready TO perish and the benediction of Al
mighty God. Loud and continued cheering ?
