The Herald and tho Observation-Disclosures
nalism ON the NaPoleonic PrincapIets
We present in another part of to-day's i'm
preston series of resolutions which formed
the basis of the speeches at the recent conven-
tons Of the Garrisonian abolitionists in West
ern New York. 1t will be seen that the apita-
ton throughout the country has had its natural
effect upon the radical abolitionists, and il
fused little more vinegar into their denunci.-
tons of the Shareholders, whom they have bean
persistently sending to perdition any tine
these thirty years.
AS usual, these amiable persons, the Card
sonians, premise their platform with the dogma
of John Wesley, that human slavery is "the sum
Of all villanies;" that the STAKEHOLDER is made,
by the act and fact of holding slaves robber,
an adulterer, pirate and murderer, and,
comprehensively, whatever else is unholy,
impious and accursed;' that, therefore, they
have no rights that any are bound to res
pect; that they are to be counted outside of
any protection and privileges presumed to bel
given to all citizens by the Bill of Rights and
the Declaration Of Independence; that the
Union of the States is sin and crime, and
ought to have been dissolved long ago; that
the governments, 30 called, Of the slave States
are only organized bands of thieves that
the representatives of the non. slaveholding
States in Congress should at once return to their
constituencies and set up Northern republic
that the churches which permit their members
to hold slaves are the "synagogues of Satan
that the State Of New York should adopt Nv
to nullify within its territory the effect Of the
Fugitive Slave act; that, upon the question O
the irrepressible conflict, the doctrines of Jeff
ferson, the Richmond Enquirer and Seward
are Identical, so far as the fact il con
cerned- namely, that God has declared be
tween slaveholders and non. slaveholders tier
shall be no concord, but an everlasting spa
ration, wide as the difference between hewel
and hell" that the democratic party is "hd
roughly atheistic" and "daringly depravd;
that the republicans are "utterly unworthy 4
support" and that before long slavery
be hurled to destruction, no matter il the Uiio
and constitution 60 with 1t.
This is what might be called delecAbl
platforms sort of literary curiosity dvi
exposition on paper of the doctrines which 'oh
Brown attempted to enfore with the rife. Si
gularly enough, however, solidiHed in th
string Of resolutions we find warm encoriu
