Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1856-05-31


carried round--which the reporter states
had tue eject Of thinning The audience
very sensibly---Mr. S. S Foster made u
sortie against Mr.. Seward, on the ground
that III the British government came to
our shores, as they threatened to, to free
the slaves, Seward and Butler would
stand side by side todrive away that army
ut the point of tho bayonet, which was
coming to free the bondmen." He then
read an article from the London Tele-
graph, stating that 'the people Of Crest
Britain were prepared to strike off tho
shackles of 4 600, 600 slavesinthe United
States; and il they had not a Richard
Ccar de lion to assist them, they had q
name which would be rallying point,
and that name was Victoria" Who,
after this can doubt the loyalty of tho
abolitionists? We will merely observe,
en- PEASANT, that we feel assured these
attacks on Mr. Seward do him great in
justice, and that he is as good an aholi-
tionist as the best Of them And thia
seemed to be the opinion of the meeting;
for it is recorded that poor Mr.. S. S.
Foster was greeted with loud hissings for
lis blasphemy of the yelled prophet Of
the higher law.
Mr. s. s. Foster was followed, or pre-
ceded, We forget which, by Mr.. Button.
or Bufioon there is some doubt as TO his
ccgnomen--who proved very clearly
that, as black was no color at all, the
name Of people Of color was unjustly
applied to Africans and their descend
ants. The fact was, the whites were tho
real people Of color In short, all who
were not black were people Of color, and
therefore all white men ought to be slaves.
! He concluded, by referring to remark
able coincidence, chat not one Of the
seven Shareholders who were Presidents
Of the United States had legitimate
SON. He considered this a Judgment Of
God against them for having held slaves.
Theirnames were Washington, Jefferson,
Madison, Monroe, jackson, Polk, and
Taylor"
A Mr. Howcls, an Englishman, prob
ably missionary from Exeter Hall came
forward to give what he called his dying
testimony. He dwelt on those dark ages
of ignorance when he and his fellow
laborers were pelted with rotten eggs,
old shoes, and other unseemly missiles,
and when Gen. Webb, now conveyed
! and repentant sinner, headed bGes1D4 Of
fllibusters, who broke up their meeting

a We could extend our extracts much
! further but for the apprehension of sick
#enihg our RENTERS. MS we have already
u sickencd ourselves with these disgusting
details Of theaberrations and perversi0ns
Of the human mind We have, how
ever, presented in'hese brief quotations
enaggh to shoy to every man who will
tai II lhe trouble OF an analysis, that they
strike at the very fop-roots Of religion,
morality, and politics. If these princi-
pies are carried out fully, and over be-
come the Failure guides Of human action,
there could be no religion, no morality,
and no government. Chaos would como
again; the elements OF society woold
fall into utter confusion, and another dis.
pcrsion like that from tho Tower of Ba-
bel alone savc mankind from irretgiev-
able confusion, corruption and degrada-
ton.
Yet, strange 10 ray, three thousand
clcreymen of New England, and many,
very many elsewhere, have become fellow
laborors in this harvest Of iniquity -
They have made common cause with tho
abolition dcsperadoes against the Church,
the State, and every principle Of that
moral code which is Indispensable to
social organization They have leagued
with men who have no religion but abo-

recognize no government but what is
based on abolition. 1t is vain for them
to say that these principles emanate from
the mad-brained fanatics Of the band
with which they have associated, aud
that they do not sanction them. IF 80,
then why DO they not discourage and
denouncc them? Why do they give
them aid and comfort? Why have they
not devoted themselves TO correcting in
stead Of encouraging these pernicioas
errors, that threaten the entire overthrow
of our religious, social and political edi-
fee Let them answer these questions
satisfactorily, and then, and not ill then,
can they clear their skirts Of stigma
that has done more TO weaken the inau-
ence Of the gown and the pulpit than all
the writings Of oil the unbeliovcrs that
ever put pen 10 paper. Either they
must dissolve this partnership or become
responsible for the debts Of the whole
firm - Union.
