The Preachers OF Treason i'm ua>sa-
ehu>etf~.

On the lst Of August a large number of per-
sons gathered at Abingdon, Mas, 10 celebrate
the anniversary of West India emancipation.
William LLOYD Garrison presided Among the
speakers were Rev. VI. F. Conway and Wendell
Phillips The whole proceedings were of the
most reasonable character and we find them full
" reported in the New York EreIing Post. We
quote few choice extracts from MIR. COnway's
remarks:
IF we Just had President. however, instead
OF machine thar Is operated upon by the tele-
graph wires we would not need to hear Mr. Phil
Iips or any one else speak long on the subject
Of emancipa ion. But, unfortunately, We arc
paving 81, 900 year 10 an au Omaon at Wash
ton who turns Just as the pressure j. brought TO
bear and no more. II the pro-slavery pressure
j. greatest he turns thitherward. II the anti
slavery pressure i greatest he turns thither-
ward.
The ancients represented the world on the
back of an elephant and the elephant on The
back of "A tortoise Thus thew figured the pro-
grcss ofthe earth That figure would apply this
day To this nation as n correct represC ntaiOn of
il. The nation depends on the army, the army
on the President; the army i the elephant, and
the latest and most approved form of the tor
toise i Abraham Lincoln, President of the free
States Of America.
Mr.. Conway concluded:
Northern people are accursed with loyalty, and
this j. the evil Of Democratic form of Govern
mcnt and its only evil. These people are delu-
ded into the belief that the Union can he re-
stored and the Constitution preserved. Vain,
vain hope! Nh Sumner should not have writ
ten that letter in praise of the President. He
well knew that the President the stumbling
block of this day 10 the nations freedom. The
President will never save the country"
After Mr.. Conway came Wendell Phillips,
who said:
The speaker did not saw that Mcclellan was
a traitor; but he did say that, far, he could
not have done more TO help traitors than he had
done The people need not fear for Richmond.
Mcclellan would not take it. He (Mr. Phillips)
looked upon the present war conducted without a
reasonable object as a total loss Of blood and
treasure. Better the South should go to-day
than lose another life 10 prOlong the war upon
the present detcstable policy.
CAS- long as YOU keep the present turtle at the
head of the Government, YOU make a pit with
one hand and fill it with the other.
The speaker knew Mr.. Lincoln. He had,
while in Washington, taken his measure. He i
a first-rate second-rate man That is all. A
mere convenience. And he is honestly waiting
like any other broomstick for the people TO take
hold of him and sweep slavery out of the
nation.
Let the Union be dissolved in Gods name,
and the cornerstone of a new one be laid on
which shall be engraved forever: Equality in q
political sense for every man who is born IN the
world"
The above language was uttered BY the speak
crs in presence of | 800 people, and published in
the New York EreniRg Post over n week ago, and
vet the War Department which Is so prolific il
orders, has not taken anS steps to arrest these
authors and publishers OF treason!
