POLITICAL,

Is PHILADELpHIA LOYAL 70 THE
CONSTITUTION - Some time ago We
had J. K. Giddings in our midst, to vent
his monomaniacal notions OH Abolition
ism. On Monday evening the infection
was followed up by Wendell Philips qu-
c. insanities on the same inexhaustablc
topic, before an audience, we are told, #
negroes and mulattoes Of every shade,
some narrow.minded Quakers and many
strong-miudcd women and philanthro-
pists Of ever description, long haired
and short-haired, with turned down dir
tv and clean shirt-collars. Wendell
PHILLIPS speech was the apotheosis
of the blood stained negro Toussa'nt
L'Uuverture, one Of the leading charac.
tcrs in the Hayti massacre Of l794-a fit
subject for such lecturer and such an
audience. Wendell Phillips. We have
no doubt, is as insane as his friend Gerrt
Smith, but bis insanity not n.anifestpg
itself in certain violent forms, ne has as
vet escaped the strait htj jacket, nor was
it possible for us to prevent his preach
ing. There prevailed, however, strorg
conviction in this sober community that
80 incendiary lecturer and such an ig-
ntible audience required some watching
and consequently force Of from 40 to
so men Of the fire detective police were
detailed to Matte nal Hall. We approve
Of this measure, aud recommend its
adoption on all similar occasions. We
woul /, however, sueg s. as an improve
ment, the presence Of ore or two steam
engines, and god supply Of hose. In
the application Of cold water, as every
BODY know., there ia great virtue under
certain circumstances. Those who know
Philadelphia, know that the conserv~
,ism Of her citizens is pi oof agsins' sach
f ulish, wicked and REASONABLE ha-
raugues, but abroad p-opie might be
misied a. to the character ofthis COM
munty. The South may bg n 20 look
apon it 80 second Boton. This is
what We do not wait. We do not wish
to give cause to our Southern brethren to
d,s,rust rs. We desire them to know
that Abo i,ionsts ard traitors 10 the
Coustltut on Of the lard are but a hand
fl with US; tina, Philadelphia an
Pennsylvania are losal and de,o'ed TO
! the Un,on, which has been cement-r

EN- patrio,s-our 70 etatb.rs. Ii, Il ere
fore, all r'gAt-thnkiog, and good citizens
assemble to express their sentiments Of
loy atty to the Constitution and the
Union, and of sympathy with the South,
ia manner that will relieve us, once for
ever, from the lntrusions Of these ltiner
ant Yankee Abolition ?. teachers and
orators. Let us make one grand AND
telling demonstration BY mass meeting
Philadelphia Fennsylvontan.
If we arc to crawl through another
fight on our bellies, with Tsmmany Hall
on our back, when shall we be prepared
to stand erect p Tribune.
Not till Tammany gets off your back,
We think. They will hold you down
awhile, if they continue to present as
good candidates as Mr.. Havemeyer.-

How long must we 60 on swapping
ourselves off for nobody and paying
boot p Tribune.
Just as long as you think it profita
bic business, and can find any party
foolish enough to trade on such terms.

SUPPOSE we 60 on helping one Dem
ocratic faction beat another, how shall
We, when shall we get strong enough
to set up for ourselves ?-7ribune.
Can't say. Guess it will be some time
first, judging from the past.-Journol

The ABOLITION PARrY.-Henceforth
the "irrepressibles," for abrogating the
Constitution and overpowering the sonth
bv the north, must be designated the
abolition party. 1t is their proper ap,
pellation, fairly won by their recent cnor-
nous acts. Seward is no better than
Garrison-Banks not so good as Gcr.it
Smitk-Chase worse, if possible, than
Greeley. They are al aiming at the
same end, and all employing the same
means for it's attainment. Thew are res
solved that the country shall not enjoy
moments peace while the institution Of
slavery exists in the Union. Some Of
the leaders may make different repre-
sensations, but there is not one OF them,
as We verify believe, who would not re-
joice At any CALAMITY that might befall a
slavsholdlng state-not one OF them who
would not boldly avow that he was .
thorough abolitionist II be were not
afraid that hs would Tighten tirnid CO.
laborera into the ranks Of conservatism.
II was but few years ago that an ab-
ol'tionist was despised, loatbed, avoided
even in New England communities. We
believe that this would be the cas- again
to considerable extent, # the anti-slav
cry party Was called by its right name.
Let our true friends, in the non slave
holding states, SEQ that this 10 dore. A.
