2 o NOMINATION OF W. H. SEWARD FOR PRESIDENT Speeches at a Meeting of the Anti-Sla- very Society of Massachusetis, John Brown Canonized and W. H. Seward Glorified. The Union and Constitution Cursed, and Speedy Insurrection Predicted, &., &., &c, A meeting of the Anti Slavery Society was recently held at Tremont ), Boston, when Mr. Seward was nomi- nated for the Presidency. Mr, Wa. Lioyp Gaxnuion sald:-—I hardly know what to say, in addition tw the resolves which I bave sabmitied w the from time to time, They constitute my aboli ‘onism; and though | might multiply words in Mlaswrauon and enforcement of the propositions theremm set forwn, I | ithfulners, * * ‘It seems to me that all of us need to understand thorough- Jy what slavery is in ite spirit, in tte claims, to its pur- * poses; that, having obtained this knowleuge, we may bo Ould add nothing at all to their manifoet tr * * * * * Prepared (or whatever slavery must inevitably aud nv- ceasurily do, or attempt to do, to preserve Ge ees ext tence apd supremacy.

It leads to our seving things as uncy are, if we will let the spirit of trum appoint our eyes and purge our vision, The abit tionists are simply carrying out their own heaven Attewied principles, and, in 80 doing, they have woa for themselves the batred of the tyrants ant tho bless. ings of the oppressed. A pro slavery church trembles at their approach, avd a blood staiued State is uneasy in their presence, for they cannot be put down, por turned back by any device, Let oo man talk about the day of moral power beiggpver, nor say that, heaveforth, the work to be dose Must be alter the imavper of Joun Brown at Harper’s Ferry; for we greatly mistake if we think that tragedy has wrought any reat moral change in the sentiments of the people. Prat if John Brown had fired his gun twenty years ayo? It would hav been the judgment of the nation, generally, tit he ated as a fool and @ madman. But the sympathy and wl mivation now so wulely fee for him prove how marveil rus das been the change «fected in public opinion during thirty years of moral aylation—a chang: so great, ined, that whereas, ten years since, there were thousands who cold nol endure my lightest word of rebuke of the South, they can mow easily swallow John Brown whole. and his rifle snto the bar gain, (Laughter and applause ) Jn firing ais gun he hus merely told us what tome g day tis.

There are some tor sale bere at the platform; and those who have bot the leisure to attend to it this evening, will find, at the studio of Mr. Brackett, 24 Tremont row, not oaly these, but even the better sight of the original bust.

Mr. Garrison bes said a littiein regard to what he calls an | ant-slavery or a pro-stavery character of the constitution. Welt, after all, friends, where do you go to leara the eh ter of the constitution? Do you go to the parch | ment laid up ot Washington?

Let us atleast have liberty | to begin with, and we will achieve everything worth having, afterward, with liberty. (Appiauso.) But where are our natural, inalienable, constitutional righis? What protection of them in any portion of the South, where the ‘reign of terror’? is in full operation? Iti3 a maiterof daily | occurrence for Northern citizens to be tarred and feather ed or otherwise brutally outraged, and driven out from that section of our common country, under the pressure of lynch law, without any proof or imputation of crime. It is enough that they are from the North, ana suspected | ‘of preferring liberty to slarery—what business bave | they south of Maron and Dixon's line? They are North- ern teachers—what business have they to teach in a slavebolding State? They are engaged in trade and other laudable pursuits—it is not for them to expect either pro- tection or toleration. And for such atrocities there is no Temedy—at least, nono is looked for, none ever attemptad. ‘The submissisn to them is as absolute as that exacted of | the scourged and cowering slaves on the planutien.

How many victims would be sub- toe to Northern lynch law, before the Souta would this matter toa head’ And yet, there are ecores of N Men 80 treated at the South—uot one of them ‘an abolitionist, or in sympathy with their movement— and the intelligence excites no popular indignation Among us, abd scarcely elicits a comment irom the press. In one baif of the country there is, practically, uo con: tation or Union now; there all constitutional rights are Tuthlessly violated in the persons of those who believe in the Dec! of Independence and the golden rule; there a bloody usurpation holds undisputed sway. Go to the South, ye republicans, whoare “no abolitionists’ — ‘who vociferous}y ins:st that ‘the Union must and shall be preservea”’—who are ready to fulfil. all the pro- tlavery compromises of the constitution—go to the Sonth, In ever they Bay, in support og with logical cousistency from bill—co you think it will gave bim?

(Ap- plause.) Do gor think the parchinent of the United States coments tion would have hela Gerrit Smith, aud the im- mortal jury of twelve that followed him, grmed with axes, atbough they couldn't quite etomact rifles in that ly period, in toe twilight of the chapter of violence? 1tro# not, Idonot learn the constitution of the Unived es in the parchment at Washington. I learn it in Wall streetard State street. For couatitutions are not made; they grow. Our fathers made, probably, the best constitution they could make; for they were the mere | scribes to write out the prevalent will of the American people. And as long ag slavery exists, and coutrols thirty States, there 1s no question whether the constitatioa— properly spaakirg, the government of this coun- try—is & prosiavery or an antielavery instru. ment; for that government of which slavery takes the control, must be # prosiavery government. If the American peoole, i 1789, had painted upon them- selves an anti-slavery constitution, they woul still have been a pro-slavery people, because State street, and Hi: vard College, and Princeton, and every one of the ad- vance guarcé of what are called the free States are pro- elavery; they are made out of a public opinion that is My Solon ge slavery for certain ends.

It was rumored thst Thur Jow Weed had “ fixed” tho after-dinner speeches de- livered at the banquet, in order to prepare tae way for the reception of Seward’s forthcoming manifesto. In- deed, the tone of the speeches indicated that the mouth- pleces of the black republicans of Now, York—Evarts, Field and Noyes—were instruc ted to burnish their ideas, and give another shriek for freedom, and for the leader «f the “irrepressible conflict.” 4 The epeaking did not commence th! néar midnight on ‘Wédnesday, #0 that 1 was impossible to furnish tho speeches of Wm.

He regarded it. therefore, a: peculiarly fortunate that they bad there those who might in some sepee speak for the party. The leaters of the republican ey Were charged with fomenting a dissolution of the Union, but he repelled the assertion with scorn. The speaker then proceeded to show that the North was never favor of disunion. What the republican party proposed to do was to be done lawfully, under the constitation, dy force of persuasion and argument, and not by Violence or outrage, or by a wanton disregard o' the de- aes the court. They did cot propose, inthe event election of a President that did not suit them, to Otseoive the Union; they would leave that matter entirely for their Southern brethren. The republican party sap- posed that apy man elected according to the provisions of the constitution, fairly elected, without fread and without violence, was evtitied to be Presicent of the United States for bw whole term. They did not agree with the doctrine Mputed io Governor Wise, that if a Presisent is elected that the South does not admire, they wil! march to Wash- ingten and prevent his inauguration. ‘I should like to see tbat operation tried with a Northern Presicent,” said Mr. Noyes. (Several voices—So would |) The republican party would mantain that tbere sbatl be no fettering of the Conscience, and po padlocking of the lips wonlt be tolerated.

Much bas been said of late of the somewhat novel and highly discresitable practice receutly brought ito vogue, and vulgarly known 48 ‘drumming.’ Toe system from Bret to Ja tis vile, odious, and unbecoming a high minded commercial community, As aight be anticipaied, it ort- gitwted among the Keech aud unscrupulous Yaokees of toe Norib.

The first and principal one which we are about to describe is percaliarly pesfidiout, and marked by the most signal bad faith. The Southern merchant pioceecs to: Dew York or Boston, and there lays im ap exteusive elock, at certain raws aad credit, w the fail expectation, based upon past experi- ence abd knowledge of the trave, that be wil readily dispose of it to bis country customers. Hardiy does be receive aud unpack bis goods when he dada busi- vers unexpectedly dull. Some of his best customers fail to make purchases. Others to whom he babitually sold thourande restrict their orders to ove third or one foursh the usual amount The merchant, amazed, begias to make inquiries, and learns, to bis surprise and indigna. tion, tbat the Northern deaers, from whom he bad ob- tamed bis supplies, had, immediately after selling to him, despatcbed active, lateligent agents taroughout the Souta, with a view of drumming up the country merchaats, av persuading them to ¢' ir orders direct. The latter, baturaily pleased at this attention, and especially at the proffer of extended credit, are easily induced to comply with tbe request. Tbus the Southern merchant loses a material portion of his business through the treacher} of ‘we Northern jobber whom he has helped toearich. No wonder the community of New Orleans memorialize the L+gistature for protection against a practice so well calcu- luted to depress, if not ruin, Southern trade. These drum- ers, we are told, are peculiarly sbarp and indefatigabie. They find their way to the most remote and almost inac- cessible places. Wherever a village storekeeper is to be fowud, there the drummer is certain to appear, and to remain until he succecos in guns aa order. Our try merchants, who are so fond of bvuasting their at. tachment to tbe South, and so prone to commer- cial independence, hi it mast be confessed, a sin- gular way of evincivg thelr exciusive Southern devotion. This abominabse practice has led to a species of domes- tic drumming scarcely less obnoxieus. For inetabce, burabers of res] le grocery and oiher houses in New Orleans employ clerks for almost the exclusive purpose of drumming Cuatemers. These watch the arrivals at the Giff-rent bovels, and no sooner do they learn that par- chasors from the country have reached our city, thaa they pounce upon them as the eagle on its quarry. “These drumming clerks haunt the hotels, boarding houses, aud leading places of public resort, and leave the new comers DO peace until they promise to buy. It is neealeas to oy that this is @ most uaworthy and censuradlo custom. It hus been introduced only of late years, and is @ foreign importation from that teeming and prolific granary of cun- ning schemes for money making—the North. We learn from respectable authority that to such an extent has the fytten) been pushed as to be protuctive of somewhat se. riowa consequences. Iu their eagerness to secure cus tomers, the arummers not untrequently offer to seil at cost price. Thw may do for a while, bat must pecessarily be ruinous in the long ran. The apology wade for persisting in drumming is that what some houses €o must be imitated by others, or the busicess will pe chiefly coudned to those whe employ drummars, We should say that 8 beer plan woura be for the merchants to call a meeting, and agree among themselves to cease giving. the slightest countenance or encouragement to the eystem It most of our honorable and respectable basi ni ss housee set their face against drumming, it will soon Cie @ natural death. itis worthy of remark that the practice is invariably detrimental in the end to those who are addicted to it. A ebrewd, intelitgent and moustrious drammer becomes, fn a fow pease, £0 indispensable to his employers taat he can. make “bis own terms. Controlling many thousanas of doirars worth of business, be becomes quite iadependent, and imposes overous conditions upon those he avrves, oF threatens to carry his influence apd command of custom eleewhere. Thus he is enabled to give himself the airs of a master and to pame bis own salary, inaemach as he is Wo serviceable to be allowed to leave Tais result is bat the confirmation of a trutn too often overlooked—that the evil is certain to meet with retribution. A Siave Pardoned out of State Prison by the Governor of Lilinvis, w Defeat tac Wugitive Siave Law. {From the Chicago Review, Feb. 18.] About five years ago a fine looking colored man took it into his head to ron away from slavery and his master, J. C. Kawkins, of Frankfort, Ky. He took with bim a watch, which was not his property, and he thus bocame 2 fugitive from slavery and justice at the same time. “He fied to Detroit, whither his master pursued bim, and was there arrested, but got away. He then came tere, and was engaged asa waiter at the Richmond House. He pagsed under the name of Eaward Riley, although bis rea) name is E.wara Pyman. A little over two yearsago, while Riley was at the Richmond House, there was a sus- picion that he entered the rooms of boarders and stole movey andcirthes He was watched by a detective, and money was laid om the floor of the room of a guest, which the negro entered for the purpose of leaving a lamp. He picked the money up, slipped it inte his poukos and waikea off He was shortly atter calied to the office, interrogated as to whether he had found anything, aad, replying in the negative, was searched. Upon bim was found not only the money but a watch, wnica bad been Wet by a lady two or three weeks be'ore. He was arrest- ed, plead guilty, and was eentonced to two years im- priconment for the larceny of tne watch. The late offcers of the State prisoa communicated to Mr. Hawkins the intelligence of hie slave bemg in the State at Alton. The owner came on aad asked Edward if be would procure his releuse om a pardon would he go back to Kentucky? Edward readily con- sented, but really only with the idea of again effzcting his escape when outside tbe grim prisoa walls His master saw the Governor and asked for his m: pardon, bat Ine Excellency aechine: hough Mr. Hi kins produced a requisition from the Governor of K: tucky for the darkey on the ground of larcooy and not as A fugitive lave. He thought that this was a subterfago, and referred Mr. Hawkins to Recorder Wilson and Mr. Baven, the Stave Adormey, who had beer concerned ja the prosecution of Riley. Tae former was in New York, and the latter declined to act inthe mattor. The master decided to wait until the 19th inst., when E1ward’s time would expire legally,and be would bo reteased. The prisoner, in the meantime, was removed to Joliet, and Me Hawkios previous to returning home put the re- quisition into the hands of a Joliet lawyer, who intended (0 pounce on the on his release. Edward by this time was in the hands of republican jailors, ani they ia- terceded for bis . ‘The pardon was granted for the llth inst., and was seat to Joliet, when Io ana be- hold, on the 7th inst., appeared at’ Springfeld afr. ips, who exhibited hia requisition and asked the Edward from the jail door to b's custoty, Tae Governor hesitated and said he must have time to ox- amive the papers, and could notdo it justthen. Mr. Hawkins was directed to leave them in the Governor's bande. He did so. His Excellency then immediately sept on pardon for Riley, te take effect forthwith, with ‘an order to return the old pardon, and forwarded ‘a let- ter to Dr. Dyer, of this city, the President of the ender ‘ound railroad, instructing him to goto Jotiet to take fhaward, and did. 80.
