< CONVERSATION OF SLAVE srEALERs.

That pestilent nest Of fanatics and negro thieves
calling themselves the american Anti-Slavery So
Getty" celebrated the tweuty-f fifth anniversary Of
their banding together on the 18th inst In New
York, and their foulmouthed orators, Phillips,
Parker Quincy, Garrison ETC., INDUCED In the usual
insane and blasphemous rawlings against the South
and slavery against the Government, the Constitu-
ton, the Church. and the present religious revival
The following among number Of other resolutions
offered BY w Lloyd Garrison, explains Che feeling Of
hostility with which large portion OF the Abolition
ists ii The meeting seemed to regard the revival:
5esa,red. That the ssreysal of religion which
has swept over the country with contagious rapidty
during the last three months. is manesty delusiye
and spurious, exceptional cases to the contrary not
withsfanding becauset has expressly excluded the
millions in bondage from all consderation-has null
tped lis converts as readily at the South at the
North--has excited no opposition In the midst Of
universal, altabonnding corruption and profigacy-
has received the sanction and cooperation Of the most
ProSlavery divines aud journals in the land has
operated (asit evidently desgned) TO strengthen
Church which is 1.-THE bulwark OF slavery, and to
divert attention from the work Of practical righteous
ness.
Wendell Phillips made speech in favor Of this
resolution, in the course Of which be said;
He could not see how any Abolitonist could not
fail 10 recognize the patent fact that the Government
and the Church. rs units were enemies to the slave.
In sixty years the system of slavery had been doubled
trehled, quadruped, beneath the religious organiza-
ton and civil institutions Of this country. There
must be something rotten Ia that Government which
could permit slavery thus to grow and make vassal
OF the Church. The millions who have permitted
it have been the pupils Of the Church. and she has
educated them 10 be silent 70 the greatest wrong
known to our age. Who can doubt that there is an
inherent unmsfakable rottenness ia both the Gov
! eminent and Churchg The character OF the nation
is the result OF the two, and that character Is shame
fol enough. As for the revvalists, DR.. Adams had
shown his attachment to the revivals by publishing
sermon on the Reasouableness Of Eternal Punish
mentn Il must be reasonable where such as he is
daughter, cheers and hisses) As for Edward Ey-
erett he did not believe that under the influence Of
the most potent stimuant known to medicine. he
could be brought to call his soul his own.
Speeches were made by negro man from Massa-
chusetts and mulatto woman from Maryland, and
then this detachable assembly of crazy people and
knayes adjourned to the following day.
The speeches made by Garrison and Phillips, and
the resolution quoted above curiously show into what
an amazing rabid condition the simonpnreT Abo
litionisis have worked themselves. We gather from
the resolution that its author holds It simply imposs
bic that any body living south of Mason and Dixon
line should be converted and that the " sanction
cooperation of pro-slayery diyines and journals
must be quite sufficient TO neutralize the working
the Holy Spirit and the dspensaton Of mercy an,
grace to sinners. Any religious awakening tina
should make converts among the hated southerner
is in the eyes OF the slave steaers, manifestly de
lnsve and spurious"
In the first heat Of bis conflict with the revival
the Devil hit upon the brilliant idea Of throwing col
water upon by causing report to spread throug
the land that Brother Greeley had been hopefully
verted. II anything can Illustrate the evil design Q
this shrewd trick, it will be soch opposition to tn
revival as that Of Garrison and Phillips.
