ANTI-SLAVERY MEETINGS.

Since the Anniversary our friends have been,
very busy holding meetings in various directions.
We are Obliged to Mr.. Foss for a report Of his
operations last week, assisted on Sunday by James
Barnaby. OF the meetings at Marlboro and
Mogadore we shall publish a report next week they
were well attended. Two meetings we're held Mt
Alliance on Wednesday. They were small. Dem
ocrats' Fillmore men and Republicans, all in the
true spirit of their respective platforms, feemed
resolved to let Slavery and the Slaves alone. The
Republicans begged that nothing should be said
I'M after the election and till then seemed re.
solved with their opponents. not to hear. That
passed, they promise bravcly to get up any amount
OF meetings, and give the slave all due attention, if
they only may be permitted to forget him now.
An lntercession which sounds strangely, coming.
from "fhc Party Of Eecdom." The principal ad.,

been sufficient for us even in n day like this. We

God We have succeeded in holding u9 the standard
of truth and justice before this corrupt and wicked
nation. Let US to-day be baptized anew into this

OLIVER JOHNSON said, that as Samuel j. May
had been referred to MS having gone over to the Re.
publlcans, lie deemed it proper to say that Mr..
May had never been fully IA Garrisonian in the
matter of political action under the United States
Constitution. lie bases his present position on
the anti-slavery character Of the constitution, with
regard to which his views are much the Saline as
those of Gerrit Smith.
Mr.. PRYNE said Mr., May had always been rec.
ognisel as n Garrisonian. AT the last meeting he
had attended in Syracuse, Mr.. May appeared as
the opponent of Gerrit Smith. Mr.. May, lie be.
licvcd, had voted in past years, but never with the
Gerrit Smith Party.
After further remarks from Samuel May, Jr.
Mr.. Pryne, VIM. Myers, and others, with regard
to the position of S, J. May, the session closed.

THE ATROCITIES IN KANSAS.

We were favored, yesterday, with a visit from,
Mr.. Jefries, who has just returned from Kansas.

murdered, and was an eyewitness of the terrible
outrages perpetrated by the %rufians at that place
lie saw the scalp, warm and bleeding, which d
brutal Missourian had torn from the head of o free
State man murdered by his hands, and which he
was bearing about the town on tile point of q
butcher knife, displaying it as a trophy before the
eyes of the people, aud he was witness to many
other heart rending scenes. lie assures us that,

be an accumulation of horrors from The contempla.
ton of which the public mind would instinctively
recoil. Tae unhappy victim from whom the scalp
was taken, was one of those who testified before
the Kansas Commissioners; and Mr.. Jefries tells us
that every man who testified before that com
missioner is hunted down like a wild beast, and
killed, if he comes within the reach of the Border
Rufians.
Mr.. Jefries is a farmer of this countv-a plain.

acity is unimpeached and unimpeachable. W.
have requested him to put in writing a state
ment of the facts that came under his notice, which
he has promised to do, and we will Mt the earliest
possible day lay it before our readers. We hope
that lie will also go among the people, in their

SALEM, ONO, SEPTEMBER 90, 1856.

SPEECHES AT THE ANNIvERsARY.-Some of the
most effective meetings of the late Anniversary in
this place were held on the evenings Of Saturday
and Sunday at the Town Hall. They were ad.
dressed by Messrs. Foss, May, Pillsbury and Mrs.
J. Elizabeth Jones. We were present only at the
Sunday evening meeting, and have rarely listened
to more Impressive speaking than that by Mrs.
Jones and and Mr., Pillsbury. The speeches on
these occasions were not reported, so We cannot
give our readers the Leneft of them, which we
greatly regret.

A PICTURE FOR NORTHERN DEMoCRAc,

The Richmond Enquirer, Sept. 5, gives some
political information as new as it is remarkable.
1t says;
1t is not hatred of slavery, it is not sympathy for
the negro, which kindles the resentment and EN-.
thusiasm of the Black Republican party. 1t is
envy of the ease and afiuence of the Southern
gentleman and jealousy of the aristocrat;c charac-
ter of our social system, which constitute the SEN
timent of abolitionism."
While the a~bsurdity of the above will only ex-
cite n smile on the part of Republicans, it forms a
cabinet picture of the cause in which Northern
Democracy is engaged. The Richmond Enquirer
is the great organ of Southern Democrary, and the
above is its arrogant boast Of the Aristocracy of
its social system--of it's Aristccracy, in obedience
to which Northern Democracy has pledged itself
to use all its efforts to extend Slavery into Free
Territory, in order that this Southern Aristocracy
may be there sustained by the degradation Of the
labor of Freemen.

TREASONABLE PLOT AGAINST TUEUNION.

The remarkable and singular intelligence given
a few days since by a Washington correspondent
of the New Orleans Delta, to the effect that Gov.
Wise of Virginia, with other Southern fre.eaters
with the concurrence of General Pierce, and a por-
ton of his Cabinet, were preparing for a coup d eiat
at Washington in the event of Col. Fremont's cleo.
ton. is one of the most curious and important
political revelations that has yet been made during
this campaign. The correspondent Of the New
Orleans ~Delta-whose name has been given us
is the friend and confidential agent of jefferson
Davis. Secretary of War, the author and engineer
of the atrocious policy of the administration in re-
lation to Kansas-that is, the determination t.
make Kansas a slave State-not BY the popular
vote, and uncontrolled in any wav.
but by the military power of the government, and
at the cannon's mouth. 1t seem highly probable,
from Gov. Wisc's Willingness to act with this move
ment, that he begins to fear the triumph of Ere.
mont, and that his prophecy, in a speech made n
few weeks ago, in relation to the probable victory OF
the Democratic party and the consequent advance
in the price of fresh healthy, strong, clear, niggcrs
will not be realized. Hence, Governor Wise is
ready for the coup d'etat-rcady to take possession
of the Treasury and the archieves of the govern.
ment, in the interim between November and March.
1t would be rs perfect a coup d'etat as ever was
struck in France, or any Of the ~despotic countries
of Europe. The correspondence Of the Delta en-
tertains no doubt that Mr.. Pierce would give his
consent, and it seems highly probable that the poor
President has fallen entirely into the hands of jeff.
Davis, aud his associate fire-eaters.
The only doubt is whether the southern pcoule
will support the fire. eaters in their violent and
reasonable prof ect,--N Y. Herald.

For the benefit Of our mechanics and working

carry out its plans you most assuredly will be
Says the Richmond va Examiner:
THE South now maintains that slavery is right,
natural and necessary, and does not depend upon

Slave States justify the holding Of WHITE MEN

And it is these laws which the South seeks to
carry, under the Constitution into all the territories
