And this was a meeting Of men who
are now pretending to the name Of u
nionists, who are upheld as bright and
shining lights of patriotism, who are
received on the floor of the United
States Senate with distinguished honor
by the Vice President! vs.
Is any other record necessary than
that of this one meeting to show where
the abolitionists were acting, and in
what direction their exertions were
laid out? We have before us host of
witnesses, in the shape of speeches,
resolutions, addresses and the like.
But we refer to one because it shows
not only that they were acting for dis
union but that they knew themselves
even in 1859 to be cooperating with
Southern treason, and accepted and
acknowledged the confederacy. We
have before us the proceedings Of a
meeting held in the State of New York,
which isreported to have been attended
by q great crowd of people. The
Chairman of the meeting, the Vice.
Presidents and the Secretaries might
well object to the publication of their
names at this time, for it is not impos-
sible that some of them have repcnted
of their grievoas mistake and become
loyal men in the Union. The names
are all before us in the report of their
proceedings at this meeting, held in the
State of New York, in December, 1859.
Among series of fierce anti-slavery
and anti-American resolutions, the fol-
lowing was adopted unanimously" as
the record assures us, and with "spou-
tancous bursts of applause" ]"
10th. Whereas, the dissolution OF the
present imperfect and inglorious Union be
tween the free and slave States, would re :
suit in the overthrow Of slavery and the
consequent formation of q more perfect and
glorious Union, without the incubus OF sla-
very, therefore. E.aa
"Resolved. That we invite free cores
pondence with the Disunionists of the South
in order to devise the most suitable way and
means to secure the conSummation so de-
voutly to be wished" ,a @
Another resolution directed that the
proceedings be sent to Gov. Wise, of
Virginia, and the last resolution ofthis meet
ing, in series OF thirteen, was one direct
ing the publication Of the proceedings in the
country papers and in the New York 1sJ
bune We presume they were not admitted
to that paper, but it is part OF the history
Of the times that the men who acted at this
meeting were also co operating with tho Tri-
bunc in the political campaign then going
on, and expected their affiliation to be re
cognized by that paper. But although their
proceedings were not published, the Tribune
had no word of denunciation for the men
who thus openly proposed correspondence
with Southern disnnionists. We do not
speak of it to blame the Tribune. That pa
| per was acting with political party for po
litical success. But what we have said is
history.
When the government Of the United States
looked for Northern sympathzers. with
Southern rebellion, did 1t examine the histo
ry Of that meeting? When it sought the
men who corresponded with the South ior
the purpose Of bringing about disunion, did
it inquire into the rules Of this New York
meeting. which directed the opening of cor
respondence on the subject?
The page OF history which we have opened
is black indeed. 1t may we'll appal the
strongest heart, when we reflect on the ex-
tent to which this same radical disunionism
