The Preachers of Treason i'm Massa-
chuSetts.

On the lst of August large number of per-
sons gathered at Abingdon, Mass, TO celebrate
the anniversary of West India emancipation.
William Lloyd Garrison presided. Among the
speakers were Rev. NJ. +. Conway and Wendell
Phillips. The whole proceedings were of the
most reasonable character and we find them full
ly reported in the New York EceRing Post. We
quote a few choice extracts from Mr.. Conway's
remarks
eff we Just had President, however, instead
of machine that is operated upon by the tele-
graph wires we would not need to hear Mr. Phil
lips or any one else speak long on the subject
of emancipation. But, unfortunately, are
paying S25, 900 year to an automaton at Wash
ton who turns just as the pressure is brought to
bear and no more. If the pro-slavery pressure
is greatest he turns thitherward. 1t the anti
slavery pressure is greatest he turns thither-
ward.
'The ancients represented the world on the
back of an elephant, and the elephant on the
back of tortoise. Thus they figured the pro-
gress Of the earth. That figure would apply this
day to this nation as o correct representation of
it. The nation depends on the army, the army
ON the President; the army is the elephant, and
the latest and most approved form of the tor
toise is Abraham Lincoln, President of the free
States of America.
Mr.. Conway concluded
Northern people are accursed with loyalty, and
this is the evil of a Democratic form of Govern
ment, and its only evil. These people are delu-
ded into the belief that the Union can be re-
stored, and the Constitution preserved. Vain,
vain hope Mr. Sumner should not have writ
ten that letter in praise of the President. He
we'll knew that the President was the stumbling
block of this day TO the nations freedom. The
President will never save the country"
After Mr.. Conway came Wendell Phillips,
who said:
ssThe speaker did not say that Mcclellan was
traitor; but he did say that, so 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 q total loss of blood and
treasure Better the South should 90 to-day
than lose another life to prolong the war upon
the present detestablc policy.
GAS 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 is
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.
sLet the Union be dissolved in Gods name,
and the cornerstone of new one be laid on
which shall be engraved forever Equality in a
political sense for every man who is born in the
world"
The above language was uttered by the speak
ers in presence of 500 people, and published in
the New York EUeaing Post over week ago, and
yet the War Department, which is so prolific in
orders, has ;iot taken ans steps to arrest these
authors ano publishers of treason2
