Tho Syrian Outbreak.

lIHS mACCAOhE Al DAMASCUS.
The Mercantile Courier at Genoa, publishes
an authentic account of the massacre at Da.
mascus up to the 10th of July, inclusive
Three thousand Christians had taken refuge
in the citadel occupied by the Algerines under
Abdel Kader. The town was in the power of
the murderers and incendiaries to the number
of $4,000, principally Druses and Bedouins.
The Turkish garrison consisted of 5000 men,
who were inactive or hostile. The soldiers had
driven the Christians into the flames of the
burning houses. Same account computes the
number of victims at three TO four thousand,
but states that this may be exaggerated owing
to the prevailing terror. The following are
extracts of letters from European resident Of
Damascus to a friend in Beyrout -
DAMASCUS, July 10-65 AN
A few minutes after l closed my letter yes
terday, an uproar commenced in the street cp.
| poste my house. The Moslems men, women
and boys-began to assemble, crying out that
| all should go to the Christian quarter to plum.
| der, burn, and massacre, and threatening not to
leave house of a Christian. / went to the
street and spoke to some OF them, hoping it
would come to nothing. 1t grew rapidly
worse. Every one was calling to others not to
come without arms, and the women were
violently exiting the men. There was some
fear expressed OF the soldiers, but most decar-
ed the soldiers would not interfere with them
| now found it prudent to lake the advice of
some Of my neighbors, and keep inside my
house. The street past my house is the short
est road from the Shughoor and the Meedan,
the two worst districts in the city. Soon at.
ter went to my house the ruffians began to
return from the Christian quarter with burdens
Of piunder, while the numbers running towards
it were increasing, and threats, imprecations,
and yells were numerous and loud. Every
sort and size of thing was carried past my
housewares and goats, gold and old iron
nails, silks and cottons, chests large and small,
tables, chairs, books, and every imaginable ar.
ticle. There was a regular stream of these
plunderers past my door till after sunset
nearly five hours. Afterwards they became
fewer, but they never ceased all night, and
with the dawn they again increased As soon
as they had plundered some of the houses
they set him on fire.
During the night, though there was clear
moonlight, the flames and smoke presented a
slght as grand as it was awful. During the
! hrst half Of the night the flames presented an

MR. THAYER IN MECHANICS HALL.

A large audience assembled in Mechanics
Hall, last evening, to hear Mr. Thayer's ad-
dress. DIR. Oramel Martin presided The
speech was long, the delivery of it occupying
more than two hours. We give brief sketch
of it as follows =
AS said to you on a former occasion, some
years ago, say now, in the words of Paul, 81
think myself happy, King Agrippa. because
shall answer for myself this day before thee,
touching all the things whereof have been
accused of the Jews" AS the Jews have again
and again repeated their accusations, so l
bring again and again my refutation of them.
1t is said that am not sufficiently afraid of
the slave power, because have too much
faith i'll free labor?
Mr.. Thayer read the extract from his speech
; in congress in February, 1859, relative to
allowing a fair fight in the territories be.
tween freedom and slavery, and said he
had advocated fair field for the different
systems OF labor, but he said did not speak
as your representative in making that state
ment spoke for myself Now, let us ex
anime and see whether thoughtlessly made
this assertion. What is the history of free
labor in this country? Mr.. r. went on to
state that in 1870 but two out the thirteen
states were free states, and that in the course
of seventy years the result had been Is free to
Is slave states. He claimed that the ord.
nance of 1887 had no agency in bringing
about this result, in such states as Indiana
and Illinois. These states had become
free only by the superior power OF free
labor, and not by Intervention. Within
two years, Kansas, Nebraska, and jefferson,
would be admitted as free states, which would
make the preponderance Il to 10, and there
are also five territories, Washington, New
Mexico, Nevada, Deseret, and Arizona, every
one Of which will come in free. Within ten
or twelve years, we will have 80 free states,
aside from any that we may win from the Is
slave states. II such is the prospect, let us
look little farther. There were three stages
in the condition of slavery, ~ the increasing,
~ the stationary, and 81 the declining peri
cd. Statistics were read in relation to Della
ware and Maryland, to show that slavery is
waning in those states. Slavery could never
W. N"e idpiulJ BraFltales toward the
"rfiu zone. Virginia and Missouri have
reached the stationary stage, and before them
y 'r"' inevitable decline which always follows.
Ane Si'Ve population in western Virginia was
constantly declining No. Carolina, Tennessee,
ana kentucky, and evensGeorgia, are also fast
approaching this point. There wa. no need
of unnecessary alarm or dis.rust a. 10 Tho
power of free labor to triumph over Slave l..
Dor Freedom itself is stronger than nros;
dents or cabinets. He scorned and dismissed
that cowardce which had so much appreber
sion ofdamage from the slave power for he
believed the free labor power OF this country
10 exceed everything else he scorned to be
the member of party that does nothing, but

MR., THAYER's SPEECH.

In Mr.. Thayer's speech, last night, he reit.
Grated his views of "non-intervention" and
"squatter sovereignty" and criticised the
speech of Mr.. Aldrl"h. In many passages he
was very sharp and sarcastic; and no small
portion of the sarcasm was directed against that
estimate of slavery and the slave power which
created the republican party He declared in
scornful tones that the policy of congressional
intervention against slavery in the territories
is "humbug;" and he repeated the decara-
lion several times. At first, his non-interven-
ton doctrine was a Suggestion" which he
wished to introduce to his friends and put .on
probation; now it is in his mind, Sovereign of
the ascendant" and the old doctrine is a
"humbug." There are many things in the
speech that invite criticism, and we shall give
them some attention, when the verbatim re-.
port is printed.
In the course of his speech Mr.. Thayer
stated that southern men regard his peculiar
views as very dangerous to the slave power.
lie added, that the Worcester papers had re-
fused TO publish what southern papers have
SAID of him in this strain. If Mr.. Thayer
were less imaginative, he might not be so
much at fault in statements Of this kind.
We have never seen OF heard of but
one extract from a southern paper, relative to
MIR. Thayer, which his friends wished to have
published in Worcester, and that did not seem
10 us much in his favor. But our readers
shall have an opportunity to judge of it for
themselves 1t was from n Tennessee DaDer
