The Anti-AboIition Mob in New York.

Inc clearing out OF an abolition meeting in
Syracuse, N. Y, Tuesday, has been pub
lished. On Wednesday it re-assembled, but
the efforts of the fanatics were unavailing -
After q few moments spent in the usual ha-
ranguing, the meeting was taken possession of
by very different set from its originators-
A dispatch says:
The citizens determined no longer to hear
such abolition harangues The ladies were
driven to take refuge ON the piasfOrm.e. Rev.
Mr.. May left the hall in disgust, and the fe-
males, except Miss Anthony, soon followed
Mr.. Hart moved that the meeting adjourn !;
but it wouldn't. and didn't. for some time
thereafter.
Calls We're made for Susan. The crowd
cheered for the Union and the Constitution
and the Chief of Police. Cries We're made for
Luke Mckinney, who came forward on the
platform. Some opposition was raised to this
by the abolitionists; but MIR. Mckinney said
he had never been choked down in the ex-
ercise of freedom of speech, and would not be
now. Tremendous cheering, and cries of
Bully for Luke He desired no anarchy,
but the fullest freedom of speech, and he
hoped his friends would hear him out. [Cres
of ''We will-go on.'l He had a great love
for the land of his adoption, and q grea ter still
for the perpetuation of this glorious Union.
The people We're here to-day to save the
Constitution and the Union. Renewed ap
plause.l The present state of the country
was brought about by the Abolitionists who
never gave a thought to the working men or
the three millions of white slaves among us ;
who never thought of the poor working wo-
men of New York, many OF whom Were driven,
through the want OF employment, to embrace
life of prostitution, or meet starvation in the
face. IGreat applause.l While Mr.. McKin-
ney was speaking he complained of noise and
confusion on the platform, charging that the
chairman was engaged in the disturbance. A
motion was made to appoint another chair
man who would maintain order on the plat
form. [Unbounded applause and laughter.
Mr.. Mckinney said if the meeting was going
to appoint new chairman he would not pro-
ceed till it was done. [Shouts of laughter. i
Here some one threw an egg, probably in
tended for an object, on the platform but it
fell wide of its mark, and exploded its shell
upon the aurlcular appendage of one of the
police officers. The officers endeavored to dis
cover the perpetrator, and scene OF the
widest confusion ensued, In which rushing
ndpushing showed where the 'irrepressible
conflict was the thickest, interspersed with
occasional music from an unfortunate dog
From this time forward all was confusion
worse COMPOUNDED, the chairman was hissed,
MI. Powell was Kissed and denounced as
traitor, whose language would not be any
longer tolerated Men jumped upon the plat
form and took it by storm. All efforts of the
Chief of Police and his aids to restore order
were unavailing, and in this state OF things it
was impossible to hear syllable uttered by
any one, and the abolitionists sought refuge
on tside the hall. Several patriotic Union
speeches Were made, and the meeting con-
unued un til Mr. CODD, the proprietor Oh tne
building, gave satisfactory assurance that the
hall would not again be open for the aboli-
tionists, when, with three cheers for the Union
and the Constitution, an adjournment was
had and the crowd quietly dispersed.
Thus ended the attempt to heap disgrace
upon this city by another Convention OF these
itinerant aboiitionists. The result is being
celebrated with bonfires and large process
sion of citizens, headed by band of music,
bearing in their midst ettigies, one represent
ing Rev S. J. May and the other Susan Il.
Anthony. Both were placarded with their
respective names in large letters, with the in
scription, "Squelched." In the procession
were borne transparencies, on which were
painted the following notices: The Jerry
rescuers played out; = The rights Of the
South must be protected :" "Freel6m of
speech, but not of treason "Abolitionism
no longer in Syracuse"
At several points on the route OF the pro-
cession, it halted and made the efigies of Mr.
MAY and Miss Anthony to dance Hail CO.
Iumbia,', in company to the music of the
Union. -
Passing into Hanover quaFe the procession
halted and an impromptu address was made
by Moses E. Hart, who took occasion to de-
nounee the abolitionists i'll strong terms, and
expressed hope that their race was run. The
effiUies were here set fire to and burned, amid
groans and Kisses. The procession again took
up its line of march to the City Hall park,
where after renewed cheers for the Union IL .
crowd quietly dispersed, evidently well satis j..
fed with their days work.
The abolitionists left here TINS evening for
Auburn, the home Of VIM. H. Seward, to hold
q Convention there.
