shall live to see 1t played out, Meanwhile we
may quiet our apprehensions of split in the
coalition. England and France have nothing
10 lase by change in tho form ofgoxeraaent
in Mexico; for anything, even temporary reign
Of terror, would be preferable to the anarchy and
insecurity which have been SO long prevailing
there, and Spain is only doing what they have
agreed to let her do. She is paving the way to
her own ruin; but mat h. matter of small con
sequence to the world at large. Mexico has
now a chance to restore unity in her own coun-
sels If she succeeds, the coalition will not
have been without its uses. :,
The Abolition Conspiracy Against tho
Union-Garrison on the Stump.
On Tuesday evening Garrison, of the Boston
Liberator the champion of abolition for the last
thirty years, who has done as much as any
other living man, except, perhaps, Horace Gree
lev, to bring about the disruption of the Union
and civil war delivered fanatical harangue at
the Cooper Institute; the theme being "the
abolitionsts and their relations to the war;"
The abolition papers say the house was half
filed; but we rejoice to say, upon the more
Office who was present, that the audience did
not exceed four hundred, though the night was
q fine one.
This lecture is one of series delivered by
Greeley, Beecher, Cheever, Sumner, Phillips
and the other "burning and shining lights" of
abolitionism. Their design is to render the
disruption of the Union perpetual-that dis
ruption for which they have been working for
the last thirty years, in league with the British
oligarchy, who supplied them with the sinews
of war, and sent here itinerant propagandists
to aid in the crusade against negro slavery.
The three abolition morning papers Of this city
the Tribune, the Times and the World-have
rendered effectual service to the Satanic cause
since this lecturing project was set on foot to
manufacture public opinion, and to corrupt and
poison the minds of the generals and troops of
the Union army. They have spread the lee
lures in full before their readers, and either
endorsed or acquiesced in the reasonable and
atrocious sentiments. They did so yesterday,
in the case of Garrison's lecture.
The Tribune praised it as "forcible" The
World commended it for its moderation" How
far it is deserving of that encomium we shall
soon see. The Times devoted half column of
editorial laudation to "the authoritative ex-
FOUNDER and Boston Nestor of abolitionism,"
the editor observing that he "hates slavery and
holds his breath over the decree of its extinction
as it trembles in the balance" He adds that he
is "quite able to appreciate the extreme histo-
rical Importance of that movement of which, for
thirty years, Mr.. Garrison has been the recog-
nized head, and see kind of moral heroism in
the devotion with which he has given himself
ND to his one idea" The Times indeed, says it
desires to conduct the war as long as it is
practicable by and under the constitution"
but leaves its readers to infer that the Union
and conservative men who have embarked in
the war for the preservation of the constitution
are to be cheated when it is too late for them to
help themselves, and that the war is to be con-
Quoted in the future on the Garrisonian princi
pie of universal emancipation.
Thus Garrison, Phillips, Sumner and Greeley
are the advance guard in the crusade against
the institutions of the South, and the main body,
including the sneaking "Little Villain" of the
Times, will soon follow and declare in favor Of
waging the war to the knife for emancipation,
by melting servile insurrection and bloody
massacres of defenceless old men, women and
children, after the example of the tragedy of st.
Domingo. Garrison says mo class of men ever
had better right to seize deadly weapons to
strike their tyrants to the dust than the slaves
of the South.- This sentiment was applauded,
it seems from the report in the Times, and the
lecturer proceeds:-"Once declare them free,
and we have no more an army of rebels to
meet-the slaves will take care of the slave
holders" Renewed applause" followed this
sample of what the World calls moderation"
We much prefer the honest description of the
Tribune, which thinks the lecture "forcible,"
and in the true Characteristic vein of the
father Of the abolition organization.
Some silly journals had referred to the fact
of Garrison recently removing the motto from
his paper, "The Constitution Covenant with
Death and an Agreement with HE'LL" as proof
that he had abated in the ferocity Of his senti-
ments In the lecture he alludes to this and re-
flutes it. He says the true reason Of tho removal
of the motto was that death and hell had Sc
ceded" from the Union, which, accordingly, he
now calls GLORIOUS" He does not abate one
iota against the constitution and the Union, with
negro slavery in them. "Thst constitution"
he says, "could it be enforced as hitherto,
would still be covenant with DEATH and that
Union would still be an agreement with HE'LL"
He goes further, and says If the officers should
resign rather than be employed in abolishing
slavery, and in aiding and assisting In servile
insurrection, "they will be guilty Of treason
To which voice responded, "they ought to
be hanged" and Garrison continued, "a they
will deserve hanging. If such men are our
officers, then the army is filed with traitors"
Such is the moderation" Of Garrison. II
Is easy to see who are the real traitors to the
