The LAST ABOLITION OUrRAGE.-Oa or about
the first of August of each year, the Ga1risonian
abolitionists in this vicinity meet together, in
| some outrageous grove, to celebrate the ami
verssIy OF the emancipation Of the slaves in the
British West Indies The festive thropg in
cludes persons Of all ages and sexes and coiors,
ard there is a general fratcrnal intermixturc Of
all the radical elements in the city aud vicinity.
II is sort of cheap carnival, with dancing. fid
ding, eating, drinking cad speech making
| The banquetiDg board groans beneath the heaps
of gingerbread; the dancing platforms ehake
under the long. heeled double shuff1e while
| Brother Garrison and all the other brothers
white black and yell0w-are making the sum
| mer air vocal with their denunciations of the
| government, the constitution, the church, the
| Supreme Court, our Southern brethren. and
other matters and thingswhich do not suit them
| to q shade.
| These gatherings, though little "Off color"
are amusing, and have generally been we'll at
tended. But, whether the colOred sisters are
thort funds, or whether the oratoticai brethren
are too long winded CT whether the poiloso-
piers have split on the gingerbread question,
we cannot say; certain it is that the more recent
jubilees have not paid expenses, and the mana
| gers have been obliged to resort to all sorts Of
shifts and expedients to get up a Gro I'd Among
other things they have even initiated the old
TammaLy dodge, and have announced orators
who have never been cor suited. The especial
case before us is explained by the official 0ocu-
ments, copies of which are hercunto appended

have received from him an autograph letter in
the following words, pabatim ct punctuatum et
lneratum:-
Having seen my name used In . circular yesterday q
Of the speakers for the occasion Of August viii
saT am not only exempt from the natural character of
its denomination . public speaker, but tia. my nams
was used without my knowledge consent
JOHN P. SAMPSON, N. G.
Mr.. Sampson is young gentleman from
North Carolina, and follows his vocation-that
Of daguerreOty pist-near the banks of the
classic stream known as Old Tar river. Mr.
Sampson Is evidently aperson of intelligence
His features retain but slight traces of his Mongo
liam extraction, and his cuticle has the most deli
cate Southern tinge. In fact, he is what would
be called in the South ''likely looking yellow
man. We are not acquainted with Mr.. Samp-
sons views on the abstract question Of slavery;
but as he is Soukherner, doing business in a
slave State, we presume that he holds the con-
sentative opinions common to the people of the
district in which he resides His style is some
what Oriental, and it may puzzle an ordinary
mind to kuow exactly what he means when he
says he is exempt from the natural charac-
ter Of its denonination;'' but from the tone of
his card the inference is Irresistible that he does
not agree with his brethren who adhere to the
Garrisonians. His business card throws o little
more light on The subject. Here II Isl
Simpsons dsguerreosypcs, 81 his daguerrean gallery
corner OF Third and Mulberry streets, for fly cenls and
upwards, speaking FOR themselves Copying and
| all tina, pertains to the Al done Ut Low prices
The daguereotypes of Mr.. Sampson "speak
for themselves" and, therefore, he has no occa-
sion to cultivate the graces Of oratory. He may
believe that negro emancipation in the West
Indies brought more sorrow than jubice-more
tears than smiles; and II IS quite certain that
with the aid Of camera, he has been able to
zee farther than most free colored men, and to
take Mr.. Cartoons dimensions as they are
There is no fattery or palaver about the da-
| guerreotype; and artists in that line are sharp
enough to sec through all the humbugs CT the
day. Garrison included. Mr.. Sampson is a da-
! guerreotype artist, and not politician Of the
| Garrisonian order. He repudiates the conncc-
| ton altogether, and prefers to work out bis own
| salvation
Finally, We may say that this wholesale ap-
preparation Of a mans name, which Is as much
bis property as his boots or his trowsers, has
become an intolerable nuisance, and 1t ought TO
be stopped. By-and-by these politicians will be
writing some other mans name on bank check
so strong is the force Of habit and so facile the
descent to crime. Let Massa Garrison 4 Co.
take heed in season.
