and with him associated several persons Of more
distinction in letters Than politics, and whose imagi
natlon is much more largely developed than their
judgment. They chiefly Of that genus of dys-
pepucs la social reform who, are dissatisfied with
everything as it is and are constantly resorIing To
some sovereign specific of their own morbid inyen-
tlon for the cure Of all the Ills Of society, and
pecialy those with which they have no right To in-
lerfere.


BY inviting Mr Hale here, or causing him 10 be in
yted, and getting the ina yoT of the city, Mr. Quincy,
u preside the meeting, they have gwen the char
acter of wing meeting 10 what IN reality was as
directly abolition caucus that in which Messrs.
Garrison and Phillips denounced the Union, Just be-
fore the annexation of Texas, and proclaimed IL 10
ne the duty Of Massachusetts, TO go out of the
Union IL Texas came INTO It. Mr.. Hale now comes
here from his abolition triumphs IN New Hamp
shire, and tauntS them for not carrying out the
threat.


The elements Of the meeting clearly indicated it's
tendency to this result. The mayor, Mr. Quincy,
as the municipal head Of The whg party proper,
presided. The discourse was by Mr. Hale, who
owes his election the United States Senate 10 the
iboltionisS, and in all ils points il was thorough
out and out abolition speech, presenting the first
and highest duty Of the opposition 10 the admins
rratlon the abolition Of slavery in the States, the
alternative of dissolution Of the Unioni IN Il word
% put down the south to separate the free from
the sIaYehodIng States. Such the speech and
the speaker. The person selected TO offer the res
olutiOns Of approval Of thiI disunlon defamation
was M Ellis Gray LoTiag, who is identified with
Mr.. Garrison and his paper, the LbeTator. The
mass OF the immense audience that hed the hall
was made up Of all parties, who, coming merely 10
see would not interfere but the predominant spirits
OF the compound were the active abolltloniss, not
excepting a large number of meek, pretty, un-
bonnetted ant-slavery ladies', who graeed the
galleries on this occasion, and who's presence -
always conspicuous at abolition meetings. The sp
,lal
that fell from the speaker (and there was nothing
else 10 call forth applause) came from the abolition
Ists, and the entire control of the evening yield
ed to them without effort To change the direction
and purpose of the whole proceedings This was
apparent from the fact that, in prOfesseily whig
meeting IN Boston, where protection 20 the manu-
iacturers declared be the highest duty of gov
eminent, the loudest cheering was given to those
portions Of Mr.. Hale's speech in which he declar.
ed that the first attack was TO be made the slave
power that the Liberation Of the slave was TO be
held up as the foremost measure Of political ;tinn
and all others TO be left To follow 1t iacidsni
and thatinsomuch man was better than the clothes
he wore, just so much Was the abolition OF slavery
higher duty than the repeal Of he new tariff Sim
liar applause followed the auntS of the speaker up
on the opposition IN New England for threatening
20 much apout Texas, and dong so lItle; for con-


nually resolving and acting; and on this point
he came up square to the doctrine Of the anti
slavery men, making 1t the first duty OF northern
politicians 10 go into a crusade against the south up
on slavery, and the highest obligation of Christians
TO Wlthhold fellowship, from all SHAREHOLDERS ~
church members. ia short, expatrIatIon in state
and accommodation ia church were To be the
cardinal points of this political dlsunon faith


We purpose no anal ysls of Mr. Hale's speech
because, though bold and reckless IN denuncation
It was below hIs usual efforts III public speaking
and futile IN argument, rather 1t destitute Of
argument. 1t is sufficient to indicate its spirit and
import that there in every sentence sectionaI
DIVISION on slavery, and dIsunon If the anti slavery
party of the north cannot otherwise put down the
south.


And such speech and such appeals, responded to
with enthusiasm by the extreme abolitionists, were
made in FaneuiI Hall, and were cuogized and ap-
proved through resolutions offered by Mr.. Elhs
Gray Lorng, tie associate OF Mr.. Garrison and his
wing of the abolition movement and whose name
appears In the Boston LberaIOr as one of Ihe com
mlttee of publication. And this was done, withou
dissent, III the presence Of the whig mayor, who
presided, and assembIage that is to pass for
whlS meeting preparatory to the fall elections, and
premonltory Of the organization Of northern anil
slavery patty, into which the wings of the north
to be forced as auxiiaries and seconds to the prom
inent abolition leaders.


The first movement is to be followed by another
meeting, at which Mr. John Quincy Adams is to
preside, and unless the constitutional portion of the
whlg party shall be able to maintain their position
IN the party there is no longer to be any distinction



sets.


When this is done, the helm of the whig sh n
throughout the Union will be held by renegade dem
ocrds and extreme abolitionIsts. The talent and
wealth OF the wing party in this State give it very
fairly predominatIng influence in the whig move
nens throughout the country, and if the whg lead
ers here resolve TO make an-slavery and the disso-
LUTON of the Union the war-cry of the next pres-
DENTAL election, the wings of the whole Union vii
be compelled to b come identified with the measure
or sever from the party. How the southern wings
are 10 enlisted in crusade against themselves re-
mains TO be seen, but that this is the movement
which Mr.. Hale is put forward to agitate will soon
ne developed, ifit is already sufficiently apparent
to satisfy ordinary sagacity


Such position in the political tendencies of the
times involves something more than party consider
atoms, and becomes question Of union or dis,tnion
If carried to its legitimate results. Every measure
of the administration is to be attributed slave in
huence and every possible appeal is to be made TO
sur up an uncompromising warfare between the
norta and the south. In the hands Of the abolition.
lists alone, such movement for disunon is imbece
and harmless. With the open and avowed co-ope-
ration OF the whlg party 1t will become formidable
attack upon the Union and the compromises of the
constitution The whg party in New Hampshire
have set the example of surrendering themselves
INTO the hands Of the leaders in this movement and
Mr. Hale has been in Maine, and is sent for to vsll
Massachusetts, and is going through New England
upon this mission.


Will the considerate and really patriotic portion
ut the wing party fall into this movement has nov
become question to be asked with some uncasi.
eSs, after the Indications at the recent meeting il
tdneuil tiail. We have too much respect for the
and their regard for the preservation
ur institutions as they established by the wis
ION OF the trainers of the constitutions to anticipate
any such result from their deliberate convictions |
out there IS danger that they may be driven into
by the ndscreet and the designing, before they are
aware of the attitude ii is intended they shall as.
sumo toward the rest Of the Union. The value OF
the Union, we are already told, is not only to b.
calculated hut that it has been calculated, and the
balance struck against 1t, unless the slave-hodny
5 aes will TO abandon their domestic nsti-
tutions.


The question is new one. 1t was fully dis
cussed aud agitated by wiser men than en- |
gagged in it, at the adoption of that constitution |
which has made this republic Of States what it now
Is, second to no government and no people of the |
earth; and they settled it as we find it, leaving each
State to its free choice and independent action
The Union could have been formed only on this
principle, and it can continue on no other. 1t |
