Columns the inndels for two days have
been holding convention in this city, in which
they have given utterance to the most revolt.
ing and horrible blasphemies.
Let no one at distance, who is ignorant AZ
our population, hold New York responsible for
this. 1t has not produced the in6dels and the
atheists who have figured at the Assembly
Rooms, any more than it has produced the
abolitoniss who coming from New England,
and the Northwest peopled by New England
hold their anniversaries here, because it is the
empire City Of the Union, because it has the
largest population, and because the leading
newspapers of the country are published in 1t,
and will give circulation to their sentiments.
Here the infdels hope, among 60 many inhabi-
tants, to obtain large audience; and, more
over, whatever Is done in New York is sent
abroad on the wings Of its press. When
wepresent our readers with reports of the say
ings and doings of the infdels or the abolition
lists, our object is to use them up. With the
bane we send the antidote, which effectually
kills it. Inddelism, like all the other noxfou
isms, originates in old Massachusetts,, of New
England; but it spreads and terminates, and
scatters its deadly seeds till at length ii reaches
New York, where we arrest its progress By
giving II a good ventilation. Exposure to the
direct light Of the is all that is necessary to
wither those pernicious, rank weeds which
spring up In the dark.
The infdels and atheists who exhibited
themselves here on Monday and the day be-
fore are only fit either to be inmates
Of lunatic asylum or the penitentiary, or
editors Of such papers as the Tribune, or the
communists of Fourierite phalanx, where
some of these journalists have received their
education and taken their degrees The doc
trines which they propagate are the OF
spring Of the morbid mental condition
of Massachusets-a soil in which every
absurdity seems to be indigenous, and
which is favorable to the growth and dsvelope-
ment Of every foreign delusion. Hence Fourier
ism, Owenism, Fanny Wrightism, free farmisn,
free loveism, women's rightsism, Bloomerism,
Ssbbatarianism, Maine Liquor lavish, aboli-
tionism, and the other isms imported from
Europe, thrive there as in a hotbed, and are
disseminated through other States. In New
York city their organ Is the Tribune. We have
been invaded from time to time by the mis-
sionaries and propagandists Of these pestileut
denominations, and we have always repelled
them.
The most recent invasion u that Of in6deiism,
to which our columns oday bear ample testi-
mony. These allies Of black republicanism
curse the constitution and the Bible with equal
bitterness and malignity. Christians and Jews,
Catholics and Protestants, equally share their
denunciations All law and order, Divine and
human government are alike obnoxious to the
blasphemers One Of them has the shame
less impudence to say that their motto Is,
$50 long as man believes in God he
is not free; SO long as there Is one
slave in America 1t is not free.r Thus aboli-
tionism and atheism are identified, and every
day are waxing holder and holder. Another of
this gang declares that "the Christian Saviour
was an ignorant man, inferior to Henry Ward
Beecher.r "These GODS be continues, "are
ignorant creatures" and he winds up with .
resolution which caps the climax Of the bias
phemy: Resolved, that creators are account
able TO the created, causes to effects, parents to
children, gods to men," and yet the fool had
before said, "there q no God This Is wor-
thy Of the philosophers and philanthropish who
conclude Sundays proceedings with series Of
6fty-three revolutionary resolutions, in which
they propose the overthrow Of Church and State,
Of all religion and government, and law and
property-thus resolving social order into
anarchy and chaos. II the power Of these mea

types would be found In the Jacqueris Of tho
French revolution, when the blood Of the
best citizens flowed in torrents, when the right

Goddess OF Reason.
In connection with their infdel and anArchi-
cal doctrines they declare that conservation
Is cowardce and confusion; that Charles
Sumner was struck down in the Senate, and
John Brown was strangled on the scAfold, In
support Of constitutional legalized, Bible
sanctioned wrong; that the bloody, brutal
izing system Of slavery in the United States
has ib vitality, power and perpetuity In The
Union Of the States, and that the Union pro-
vents the right and protracts the wrong, hia-
ders freedom and helps slavery, makes peace
impossible and war Unavoidable
1t will be thus seen that Charles Sumner u

martyr, while william II. Seward Is their
