GRAND RALLY IN BEHALF OF “THE LAWS OF THE LAND AND THE UNION OF THE STATES, “THE EMPIRE CITY IN COUNCIL. IMPORTANT LETTERS FROM THE HON. DANIEL WEBSTER AND DAN.S. DICKINSON Names of Thousands of the New York Patriots, &e., &e., &c. In pursuance of the call signed by mony thou- sands of the citizens of New York, representing the capital, the enterprise, and the sound, healthy -attachment to the Union of the masses of both po- litical parties of the Empire city, there was a ogrand rally at Castle Garden last evening, in be- half of the integrity of the Union, good faith to the Constitution, and obedience to the laws of the land, Whether we consider the numerical strength -of the assemblage, the number and variety of in- dustrial interests represented, the strength of its commercial representation, or the momentous »questions involved in its deliberations, this meet- ing is without @ parallel in magnitude and impor- tance in apy political gathering that has ever as- sembled in this great emporium. On entering the capacious establishment of Castle Garden, the mottoes which a:tracted the attention expressed at once the character and the objects of the gathering. Over the entrance door was the memorable motto of Gen. Jackson, priated in coaspicuous Lette: “THE UNION: IT MUST AND SHALL DE PRESERVED.” eeeee ARRERER EERE RR RETR ERMA R ERE Eee d from the boxes were the following, to — Webster's celebrated declaration :— aw LIBERTY AND UNION, NOW AND FOREYER, ONE AND 4 ANSPPAR ALE.” eeeeeee bee ae . . .

The i ‘wan proposed, that elavery was in. itself a sin— that it ought to be abolished. st all events and like everything which is sinful, it ought to be abolished without regard to consequences This. unqusetion- ably, was new doetrine, It was repugnant to the patriots of this country, tothe fathers of the revolu- tion, They look: 4 upon slavery as anevil. but thought we should look to the consequences before we under. took to abolish it The idea that it was sintul in itswlf, like murder or robbery, and that it ought at onoe to be abolished. without regard to aons:quenens never entered the beads of those patriors who t+a thi« cow try originally to independence and trewilom his no- tion, however, as I before remarked. took grount some fifteen years ago, and then our abolitionia’s de slared it was the duty of this country. uodvr all circumstances, and without regard to consequences suddenly to abolish it, looking only at the question of slavery itself as sinful and as an institution which ought not to be allowed to exist Now. we consider ‘this doctrine erroneous. We consider that whers this institution exists we must look at consequences. and ‘that it will pot do to abolish and destroy it without taking into consideration coneryuences that would result. and the consideration whether it would ote the happiness of mankind to aholi-h it or 0 suffer itto continue. (Applaur). The idea that slavery is in iteelf eipful is unquestionably r-pagnant te the general sentiment ef mankind, because ¥e all know that in the earlier stages of socivty. slavery bas been instrumental in introducing institu ions favorable tothe promotion of civilizasi as period of time the that it sh time t but after Fogress of society ld be abolished.

(Great applause) This ides, that cozscience dictates that slavery is in iteelf sinful, is, as we think, entirely unfounded We may fay of conscience, in regard to this subjrct. as we may say of the test of beauty, or of anysthinz else, that when we find th neral sentiment of ma Kind to accord on & certain subject wa ought to esteem it to be correct. A crlehrated critic remarks that, if any one should take it into his head that Horace, or Virgil, or D_ mo-thenws, or avy of the other grea’ thors, were not entitled to the repu tation which they have received. that individual ought to reflect that the general sentiment of mankind hae pronounced in favor of those auchors, and. instead of being dogmatical on the subject. he ough: to take pains to meke himeselt familiar with tho-e authors, and, by the time he had done #0, he would approve of the common opinion of mankind Now we may ap- ply thie to the question of slavery When we tind that tlavery Las existed in all ages sud in all countries; w we find it has been an important instrum in the civilization of man—when en individual takes it into bis head to pronounce it sinful- we oaght to take the general sentiment of mankind to prove the error invo whieh he has fallen And the only question ia wheth- er the institution end the state of society in whioh it exists, are calculated to promote its general interests. That is the true view of ti view taken of it by th u |. and their views bat been corrborated by the experience we have sen in the emancipation of the negroes in the Gritieh West I colonies. (Cheering and applause) What has been the effect of the sudden abolition of -iavery in those colenies ? It has blighted their prosperity destroyed them. and wo may venture the assertion that if we were to allow the sud abolition of sla- very in the Southern States, it would be attended with ostration of ip@ustry as it wasin the West T d we sheuld be in @ much worse condition thal try reflect that when y be put on quality with che whites, (vot as we con thevea standing army, a+ Great Britain, the consequences would be « servile ineurrection inthe Southern Stites and the most destructive of wart—a civil war—would be the ry result.
