The Northern Abolitisn Fanatics and the
Southern gscessaon F1re-Eaters In Full
Blast
During the present week the abolition fana-
tics Of the North, of all genders and colors,
and representing all the denominations of revo-
lutionary sbolitionism, infdelity, socialism, ne
gro equality and women's rights, have been
holding their anniversary meetings In this city;
and they have been tearing all to pieces the
eminent, the Union, and all the restraints of
law and society which have robbed the human
family here, especially the niggers of that
blessed freedom and equality which they would
possess under the simple institutions of savage
Life. But while all this has been going on in
New York, we must not forget that simulta-
neoualy, far to the southwark, In q village
called Montgomery, in the State of Alabama,
the ultra pro-slavery men, the freesters, the
restless salamanders, the desperate politicians,
the commercial regulators, and the vagaboad
flibusters Of the sunny and swampy South have
also been holding their grand annual pow-wow;
and that these abolition fanatics In New York
.ies si-- 'hnaA ultra pro-slayery rropogand-
lists
Away down In Alabama.
Barring astraggling 6libuster and desperate
adventurer, here and there, this ultra Southern
gathering at Montgomery has been formed of
respectable and intelligent white men. re-
spected each in his community, and generally
regarded by the politicians of their peculiar
school as shining lights of wisdom and patriot
ism. On the other hand, our New York assem-
blages, representing the other side of the pic
ture, have been composed of the most remark
able admixture of infdels, fanatics philosophers,
ragamufin sand lunatics-white, black and yell
low-bcardless men In petticoats, and bearded
women In brecchcs, old sinners and old gran.
Mes that could be collected from the cankers
Of a calm world and long peace.n But with
all this, the general programme Of political and
social regeneration Of these New York abolition
anniversaries though more repulsive, Is hardly
more preposterous than some Of the schemes
and decisions of the Southern Commercial Con
vcntion. Let rs see.
Our abolition and in6del reformers propose
TO abolish the Bible, the churches organized
under Its teachings, the constitution and the
Union Of the United States, and the existing
laws and usages Of society; and upon the
ruins thus made they purpose the erection
Of new political religious and social
system, comprehending the Goddess Of
Reason, the abolition Of all political and social
distinctions between men and women, the
equality Of colors, free amalgamation, free
love, free property, plenty to eat, drink and
wear for all, and nothing to do. This, we be-
lIeve, embraces all that Is wanted to secure the
Observation-Disclosures rights millennium; bat
Il Is hardly possible that the reforms thus con-
templated can be accomplished this side the
day Of judgment We, therefore, look upon
the fools fanatics and ragamufflns engaged In
this work with something Of disgust and some
thing Of commisseration. They are at only for
the shcltering walls Of lunatic asylum.
The programme Of the reformers Of the
Southern Commercial Convention comprehends,
a. far as ascertained:--
!. A filibustering extension OF the Southern
States, beginning with the conquest of the
Central American States and the establish.
ment Of African slavery therein, according to
the plan Of General William Walker, and in
view Of his great Southern confsderacy, based
upon military principles.r
2. The revival OF the African slave trade.
3. A new system Of direct trade between the
ports Of the Southern States and the ports of
Europe, including the largest sized ocean
Steamers and plenty Of them
4. Southern discriminating taxes and licenses
against The produce and manufactures of the
Northern States
8. A purely Southern system OF literature.
schools and colleges; and, should all these expo
dents fail to secure Southern rights aud
Southern equality,
6. Disunion and Southern coufcdcracy
Among many Of thcse convcntionists this last
proposition is the first which they would adopt;
and we must admit that most Of the other pro-
jects indicated could hardly be attempted
within the Union without some danger Of re-
sstaoce from the general government But
our object Is TO show that the follies and tom
Of these Southern commercial conven-
lions are ONLY surpassed by the crazy croschets
