An rorethar

. hung up In ono Of our Hotels. calling a
/ Republican Mass Convention nj Eiic Pm,
. on ibis day l2lh). Whether or not. this
is intended for q burlesquo, we are unable
TO say but u certainly becomes simply
ridicuous-an empty mockcry-in con.
neNion with the gentlemen, who Il is nm
uouncod are to olliciatc ON this occasion.
, Well might B,o,rH EogA, orsomething
s resembling, @ iuz2ord hover at the head
of this hand bin, a fitting emblem Of tho
hcrcsies, that abolitionism alone can
hatch. There is Henry Wilson and An.
son Nwlm9uas Of Massachusetts, and
Josiua Il. GGdpgs and Benjamin ?. ITaRc
o! Ohjo,--an Nathaniel 2 Banks and
John P, Hale all are to be present, to in
struct their fellow citizens, "the friends of
the Constitution and the Union" Here
my fellow Democrats are the names of
those, who are calling on tho friends Of
Liberty, to rally" A pretty pack of
/ speakers truly, to talk about fidelity to
I the Constitution, and tho Union. Every
man mad abol!tionist, every man an a.
vowed dSunionist. Every man has advo.
Gated open resistance to the Constitution
and Laws Of the country. Every man now
holds, and breaches doctrines, which he
knows must drive the States asundcr,
or plunge their citizens in civil war. To
prove this let facts be submitted to a cam
did world.
On the Goth Nov. 1859, Hon. Henry
Wilson was one ofa public Meeting, held
at Natick Massachusetts,, that passed the
following delightful resolution
"Whereas, resistance to tyrants is ODE. !
dience to God, therefore Resolcea, That
1t is the right and duty of the slaves to re.
slst their masters and il is the right and
duty Of the people Of the North to incite
slaves TO resistance, and to aid them in IT," S
And again, in public speech in the I
City of New York in October 1855.
ave shall change the Supreme Court ofhc
United States, and place men in that court
who telieve with its pure and immaculate
Chief Justice, John Jay, that our prayers d
will be impious to heaven while we sus- S
tain and supper. human slavery. We q
shall free the Supreme Court of the Uni. ;,
ted States from Judge Kane. And here =
let me say there is public sentiment L
growing up in this country that regards Il
Passamore Williamson in his prison at
Philadelphia as martyr to the holy cause o
If personal liberty. There is a public ii
er timent springing up that Will prand
lpon the brow of Judge Kane a mark i
hat will make him exclaim, as his name. r
AXE, the elder Cain: 1t is too great for Ii
ne to bear" Ia
At Black Republican Meeting, in Il
Maine in 1855, Benz. F. Wade taught his b
elbow citizens to rally in defence of the 7
Jnion, in the following graphic language.
There was no freedom IN the South for ei, o
her 1chite or black and he would strive to d
rotect the free soil of the North from the
anne bGghtng curse. There was really no Il
yai0g noC bettcscn the North and tie South (; Il
nd he believed no two nations upon the s.
arth entertained feelings of more bitter Il
ancor towards each other than these two +,
ections of the Republic. The o,y saloa. h
ION ofhe Union, therefore, rus 10 Be tolnd IN al.
esting Il entirely from all tait Of Slarcry.-- b
'heIe was no Union with the South. Let tC
IS have a Union" said he, ''or let us sweep 81
way this remnant which VIC call a Union. Vi
90 for Union ,Uhere ali men arc eg,aL or for Il
0 Union ataH and / 60 for right" ?
And Arson Burllngame, another Con, 81
:itution lover, to be present on this oc. /, =
aston, had declared with impous I las, re e
hemy and treason. y,
"The times demand, and We must have. an 81
nh slavery Constitution, an Slauery Bible IL
nd an antbslarery God" a
And Joshua R. Giddiugs is TO be there,
ho at Palmyra, Ohio, in 1850. said - u
The Fugitive Slave law commands US a, a
, participate In arresting and sending %
lctms TO this southern immolation, by
)rture q thousand times more cruel than J.,
rdinary assassination. Yet, we are told, -
e must obey this law and perpetuate y,
hese crimes, until slave ridden Congress -
hall see fit to reclaim US from such sin ~,
gainst God by repeating the law. Wheth. -,
r 1t be right to obey God rather than " "
nan, Judge ye. From my inmost soul
"'AOi' ut'toI, anu Iepuul1lc lnlS law =,
desPiSe the human being Dho arould obey H. ",
such being has cristcacc." oi
And who again declared to lis fellow
itizens, that. bl
81 look forward to the day when there ol
lall be seryile insurrection in the South; te
hen the back man, armed with British
'ay0aetS, and led on by British officers shall 10
'sert his freedom, and wage war of ex~ ia ia
against his master when the III
rch Of the uccadiayg shall light up the to,cnS W
nd cit.S Qfhc South, and blot out the last VI
estige OF slavery. And though | may u
OF mock at their calamity, nor laugh
hen their fear conleth, YET 1 WILL HAIL
AS THE DAWN or \ POLITICAL MILLENNIUM"
And j. p. Hale, Of New Hampshire is sa

ominated Fremont on the 18th of June, f.
