Another Incendiary Meeting i'm Fam


euil Hall.


The negro worshippers in Boston have again
held pow-wow in Faneuil Hail. This gather
ing, in many respects, is more remarkable than
any Of its predecessors. The sentiments ut
tered by the speakers, the principles enun-
ciated in the resolutions, are in advance Of those
promulgated less than q year ago from the
platform of the same hall. The proceedings,
which we published yesterday, read very much
like the commencement of another revolution.
The infammatory character Of the speeches
and resolves, the assaults upon the President
and the constitution, the denunciation of the
foreign element in our population anu the
laudation Of the negro, all show to what extent
the New England revolutionists are prepared
to push their schemes for the elevation Of the
negro. They prove that the extreme measures
of Thad Stevens have been adopted by the
Massachusetts fanatics and enlarged upon
and that the negro is to be elevated and
forced upon us as the privileged class
in this country, even il to accomplish
that end 1t is necessary to get up another revo-
luton. No person can peruse the proceedings
Of this Faneuil Hall gathering without being
convinced that President johnson uttered pro-
phetic words when he stated to the assemblage
of people in front Of the White House, on the
22d Of ofFebruary, that the policy Of the radicals,
II persisted in, would surely lead us to a war of
races. II there is any thing that will bring upon
us this dreadful result il is just such revolu-
tionary gatherings as that which has just held
forth at Boston. We need no further evidence
that we are drifting to that alternative as fast
as time can carry us than the speeches and
resolutions at that meeting.


This grand carnival Of negro agitators in
Taneuil Hall was opened by an attack upon the
President by the present Executive Of Massa-
chusetts. This was followed with an appeal
for universal negro suffrage, and then
came the resolutions, which declare what Con-
gress must do, at the same time manifestng
fear that the radicals will fail in their efforts
in behalf Of the negro unless Congress hurries
up It's reconstruction programme. The ami
mus of the resolves was, however, apparent
in every line, and leaves no doubt of the revo-
lutionary character Of the gathering. But II
there could possibly be any doubt on that
point this doubt was removed by the denuncis-
tion Of the Irish population by Congressman
Boutwell,. He took particular pains to arraign
that class and travelled out Of his way to hold
them mp as inferior to the blacks Of the South
Foreigners were denounced for emigrating to
this country In the face Of the fact that New
England would to-day be bowling wilderness
had II not been for emigration from Europe.
1t is certain that the negro would never have
sidered the black far superior and entitled to
moro privileges than the thousands OF white
people who come to our shores from abroad.


Nothing could be more injurious than
remarks OF this kind at this particular
period. The whole spirit Of the meeting
tends to incite disturbances and lead 10
collision between the class denounced and
those so highly landed. II is this effort on all
occasions to prove that the negro is superior
10 the foreigner that has caused the animosity
and hatred among the latter to the colored
population. This Boston meeting only added
fuel to the fire which Is now ready to break
out In all parts Of the country. II is demon
strations Of this kind that have created all the
trouble between the whites and blacks at the
South The Memphis riots would never have
taken place had 1t not been for the prejudices
aroused by the radical gloriacation Of the me-
gro, both in and out Of Congress. But 1t
appears to be part Of the programme Of these
egitators 70 ips.igate wa Of races. hat hey
