The New York Meetings.

the Richmond Dispatch says, was the
New York Sumner Indignation meet

fortunes out of southern trade, are
threatening to wallop the poor beast
which has carried them to the top
Of the hill Of fortune. They threat

den egg. Perhaps the stupidity
Of the South is not as excessive as
these smart fellows suppose. 1t is

Abolitionism and RELIGION.

At the late Abolition pow-wow IN
New York, VIM. Lloyd Garrison,
having relieved himself by declaring
that "no man could be a stakeholder
without being a transcendant vii

worthlessness and hollowness O. the
religion of the present day. Among
other things be said: "Such religion
is Of the Devil. The Christ oil

and we will have no such Christ to

The Massachusetts, folk. are max
ing fools of themselves with their
Sumner Indignation meetings
The Richmond Dispatch pertinently
asks:
Why is it, that when the venera.
bic Gorsuch, an uuoffending South
ern gentlemen, was brutally murder
ed in Pennsylvania, We have never
heard Of any Indignation meeting,
even in the South; but when a foul
mouthed abolitionist is-not killed
but merely eaned, such a vast
sensation should be produced? Is
the hide Of a Yankee abolitionist Of
more value than the life Of South
ern gentleman?

We are sometimes asked Why the
American Convention at Philsdel-
phia admitted the Roman Catholic
delegates, SO called, from Louisiana.
They admitted them because assured
and satisfied that they we're Roman
Catholics only in name.-LousriAe

That is to say you admitted them
because you believed them to be as
hypocritical in religion as they we're
destitute Of principles In politics
because in protesting to be Catholics
they told base lie. -New Albany
