the dog that would bring bone would
carry one, and he would warn them to be-
ware of such as he. Charles OConor calls
upon us to let slavery alone. He would
let it alone when it had been destroyed
when the just God who had doomed it to
destruction should give them reason to
erect monument over its ruins. He would
advise O'Conor to practice what he preach
ed, and let slavery alone, for in him we
had found the man who struck Billy Pat
terson. Laughter
A collection was then taken up to de-
fray the expenses of the meeting, during
which rallying song was sung The
Chairman then introduced as "an anti
slavery cat O nine tails"
Mr.. Jeremiah Powers, who protested
against the insult offered the audience by
the Chairman, in introducing shim as ian
anti-slavery cat O nine tails
The Chairman explained that Mr.. Pow
ers was expected to cut slavery all to
pieces.
Mr.. Powers resumed, saying that he
supposed that the meeting was to cut
Charles O'Conor all to pieces. If he was
worthy of an Indignation meeting, and if
he could give true expression to
the indignation of the "niggers"-Q laugh
ter of this city, it would be sufficient.
But he believed pretty much with Dr.
Smith, that he hardly thought the game
was worth the shot. If anybody had
thought it was before they came here, they
must have been convinced to the contrary
from what had already been said. But
Charles OConor did not express the views
of us American citizens up at the Acadelly
of Music, said Mr.. p, for was there, gen.
tlemen-( laughter land l know he did
not express our views. Nor did he express
the views of the shareholders, the views of
the South. There is no intelligent slave
line-unless he came from the pine woods
of North Carolina, where l came from, for
if he came from there, he might take any
position, as l do daughter )-Charles o.
Conor does not express their sentiments.
They would not hazard their reputation as
intelligent men by taking any such position
as that. You will see today, in the New
York Tribune" a strong indication that
they do not believe he expressed the hon
est sentiments of the State of New York,
Or of the people anywhere, North or South.
Do you believe, sir, that Henry A. Wise,
in his speech to the medical students who
went from Philadelphia to Richmond, when
he was speaking of thatgr mani mean
the nigger, Frederick Douglass use the
American term laughter believed any
such thing as Charles OConor has said3
No, sir; he spoke of him as of any
other man, because he knew the power of
that mans argument, and his ability, and
quailed before it. He said if he had known
what vessel Douglass was in he would have
gone after him. 1t would have taken
more soldiers than he had in the murder of
John Brown to have induced him to have
gone after Frederick Douglass. Great
applause.) Charles OConor is lawyer,
and, as has been truly remarked this even
ing, professional liar; and if he had not
lied more successfully than when he fol-
lowed bricklaying, he would probably have
been laying bricks now. (haughter.) l
will ask any gentleman here, if you were
going to employ lawyer would you not
employ one who had a peculiar ability for
a peculiar subject2 1 don't say that you
would, Mr.. Chairman-you might look for
an honest one, and you would lose your
case. Even if Charles OConor was not
paid for that speech, he is to be paid for
the slave speech he made for the State of
Virginia in the Lennon slave case; and he
| had to dance to the music there, or ne
didn't know whether Virginia would pay
him. You spoke, Mr.. Chairman, of the
doctor dissecting O'Conor. l heard a ma
tive American describing the Irish, and he
said that an Irishman had died very sud-
denly, and the doctors had been called and
were holding post mortem examination.
They had the body onthe dissecting table,
and had chopped him all up some way or
the other. The impression was that the
man had died of the heart disease, but an
Irish doctor was anxious to get at the head
to find out the disease. While the other
doctors were working about the carcass,
looking for the heart, for they could not
find it, he finally broke out-"What the
devil are you about there? Why not go
to the head and find out the cause of his
