A SenssbIe Speech.

At the recent Convention Gf crack5rained
freelove philanthropists at Utica, the most
sensible person seems to have been one RaE-
dolph, o. olat,c. From his speech, as repor-
ted in the New York Herald, we give few
extracts:
Randolph commenced by saying that be
believed that doctrines we're propounded be-
fore this Convention that were subVersive Of
public morality and human progress. Single
banded and aloue--and black at that-he
had the courage to come forward and tell
these reformers-men and women-tbat they
ought to be ashamed Of themselves. A good
deal had been said about chattle slavery; hut
be would say that the unwise actions of these
radical aboltionists had done more to injure
men Of his race than all the slave drivers
who ever fpurished whip in the Southern
States:
Evils were not to he swept away by spiritu-
alism, or bsrmoDia!ism, or abolltionism but
by the working of the principles Of self pre-
servation in the minds Of men. He denoun-
ced aboitionists as persons who were incitiug
to bloodshed and slaughter, as if there were
not holocausts enough already Offending the
nostris of the living God. Religion, and moth
ing else, was to retJrm the world. But these
men and women who came upon d platform
like this to ignore the existence of Deity,
and to trampie upon that dearest of all super
stitions-it superstition il be--deserved the
condemn atinp of society /"
