The American Anti-sIavery society,"

The American Anti-sIaveFy Society,"
The common law consigned the suicide
to burial in the crossroads, with stake
driven through the body, as a sign that
the buried telon was undeserving of
Christian sepulture, and that his memory
should be Infamous among men. The
American Anti-Slavery Society is fel0 de
Sc Il is dead by its own hand and al
though mankind can not literally obey
the iniunctons Of the old law IN the
special instance, vet IN all its spirit, and
in all the intensity of its adherence, will
the ancieat odium atix itself to the menu
ory Of that unhallowed league. unless
Christianity, Reason, Humanity and Pa
triotism have persisted from the earth.
We say this as we shall answer TO Con ot
the great day
Do not be deceived by the cidqWerS,
whose dirty hands clap bought applause;
be moi deceived by rabble shouts, which
are neither here nor there in a question of
right and wrong; pay no heed TO priest or
printer. who praises the conspirators that
have survived this league, and who look
with the hard-check audacity of scoun-
drels into the faces of the people they
have ruined. Remember that GoD is Just !;
that Truth, however it may be trodden
"dolcn can never be trodden QUO" that
the RIGHT, though sometimes seemingly
delayed, must always triumph IN the end,
until the fiat of JEHOVAH shall repeal the
laws whereby he rules the universe.
The American Anti-Slavery Society
was q combination of traitors, OF whom
Garrison was the leader and chief. Its
purpose was to overthrow the Constitu-
ton. 1t was, from the beginning, in
open, avowed, audacious enmity to the
Government. Listen to the latest words
Of Garrison, if you be so ignorant as not
to know the spirit of all that he has ever
done or said In letter, very recently,
to the New York Union League. he
said
''The Constitution of the United States
has been changed from covenant with
death to an anti-slavery instrument; and
by the Fifteenth Amendment every State
is compelled to regard manhood, and not
the color of the skin, as the test of fitness
for the elective franchise"
That is the language he always spoke
That the Constitution was a covenant
with death, and league with hell," was
the motto of tho paper which he long
printed And now he says the State:
have been compelled to give the niggel
the white mans prerogative. Compel
ed" That is the word The States have
been compelled" The people have beer
compelled" Whence this compulsion
From usurping Congress. And what i
compulsion2 2 1t is Despotism
This nest Of treason is at last broken up
But as is often the case with the foulest 0
foul birds, the nest is not destroyed unit
the eggs have been Matched, and the bale
full brood dispersed over the land. Hor
rors on horrors have visited US all. w
remember the incidents Of the last tel
years, as one remembers the broken an
hideous dream of a nightmare. "Hel
broke loose" Incarnate devils ruled u
all Murder, lust, rapine and all demoni
&c powers and influences were supreme
And to-day we stand amid the ruins {
the Republic The Constitution is i
fragments. The States are in thralldon
The people are IN bondage.
And all these woes, past and presen
are attributable, directly and exclusivel!
to this American Anti-Slavery Societ,
its affiliated Associations, and its tralne
band Of emissaries more abominable tina
the Danites of the Mormons.-Nori
