THE FANATICS.
■ The editor of the Richmond Enquirer, col- I
Bids the public opinion, as conveyed t.iroimll the :
Buss, on tiie subject of the alleged interference
Bf the North in the matterof slavery at the South, j
Bint expression is universal and unequivocal,
Ho n all sections ami parties, tu utter denial of
Be. existence ol any such design. We venture
Bsav that it lud not entered the thoughts of any
citizen of the North, until the idea
started by the partisan prints of Mr. Calhoun
B tint f*outln ‘i'ite North w ould he as prompt.
B far as we know the suiitiineiils of the people,
• resist any assiimpition of power on this subject
B Congress, as they have ever been zealous to
B''st encroaclnnent of any sort. They would
Btamong the first to prevent, and the last to en-
Burage, an interference with a question, not on-
Bof great delicacy and importance, hut which
• exclusively for the action of the Slates imiiic-
Buriy interested in it.
■ Hie above is from the Albany Argus, a paper
Bvoted to the ambition of Mr. Van iliiren, and
B notorious as its compeer in this city, for im-
Bcilily and want of principle. In the assertion.
Billing from such a source, we have no confi
■eitce. The leading presses in the pay of gov-
Bitinent, are too deeply pledged to the fortunes
Billie Kiudeihook Po.ilieian, to emitle their de-
B''rations to credence. We have seen 100 much
Bthoir cunning and corruption to believe a word
Bom them, where the inteiests of their Chief are
Bt stake. Those who make n traffic of tite prin-
Biples of the Constitution, will hardly he thought
■’ set any great value on moral truth.
I Tlie article above is quoted by “the seven
luitcijjles,” as evidence that there is no design
in the part of the North to interfere in the ques
|m of slavery. It is strange, that the declara-
It'ins of those who are implicated in the guilt,
liould beoffereil :is proofs of their innocence.—
Such is not the rule in our Comts of Justice—
Imi if it were, few. perhaps, would ever lie ad
ludged guilty. The Argus, no doubt, is an aider
Arid abettor in the scheme—and we believe, some
■hers nearer to us, are, to say the least, conniv
ing at it.
I There are some facts in connection with this
I'ibject, whose voice is more potent than hollow
ssertions. Let these facts he met and explain
d—for denied they cannot he. Without advert
to the sentiments and opinions of the Nortli,
ii regard to Slavery —(and they are well known
ohe decidedly averse to what has been called
his “ fungus ” in our system,)—We would en
luire what is the object of these thousand socie
'es that are hourly increasing in the land?—
What is the object of the New England Anti-
Slavery Society, with its hundred branches and
luxiliariesm the Western and Middle States ?
IV but is the object of the thousand Presses, which,
if they do not openly advocate emancipation,
iittist certainly are advancing the objects of those
‘hm do, by circulating, without censure, their ar
twjWs, and hy assailing themselves the system of
‘tery, whenever an occasion occurs? What
V ‘*' object of the Black Convention in Phila
elphU? Will the Southern coadjutors answer
lor these movements of their accomplices ?
Wt re - n ' USI lje some object in these things.—
hat is the meaning of an Anti-Slavery Hocie
■v’ “orely the People of the Southern States,
are 1101 SUI -'li fuols as to be ignorant of the mean
ing of this word “Anti-Slavery.” No man in
his senses, no matter to what party he belongs,
can doubt hut that the design of these Societies
is, to abolish Slavery. Can “the seven princi
ples” assign any oilier object ? Will lie deny
the tact, that tlieie are such societies, —and that
they are rapidly increasing? lie cannot.
Hut why does lie conceal these facts from the
Public? Why are the columns of his Paper,
given up to the comments of his accomplices,
while the (acts aie sedulously kept out of sight ?
He says, forsooth, that the State Rights Party are
agitating the South, (with a view to disunion we
presume—since that is the fashionable Cant of
his Compeers,) on this question without cause;
tod that h t and iiis Northern coadjutors are de
sirous i I arresting the evil. Why then conceal
the fads? Is that the way to prevent the agita
tion ? ll l lie facts are such as to furnish no just
cause of alarm, why labor so industriously to con
ceal them from the People ? Bring out the facts,
and nail this “ aspersion of the State Rights
Pai ty n the North to the counter.” No—no
no. Their game is a very different one. Who
provoked this question ? The South ? ‘Tis false j
—grossly false. It \>as gotten up not by the I
South, nor the friends of the South. It was got j
up b *!'•* Northern accomplices of the Rich- I
tumid Enquirer, as a machine to procure the
vote of New England lor Van Boren : anti when J
woof the South exposed the movement, and
called upon those who are interested to he on their
guard—we are denounced ns “agitators.” We
should have been silent, should we, and let the
physic wotk.
Again. —Why has “ the Seven principles” at- \
tempted to enlist the Temperance Societies in
his suppoit, by falsely conjuring up a charge a- ‘
gainst them, and then offering to become their
champion? Can any man doubt 1 Wealready
hear from an intelligent gentleman from Notto
way, that he has produced a strong feeling a- j
inong a certain class in (hat county in his <avov
on account of Itis ready volunteering in defence
of a society that had never been assailed. We \
knew this was itis object, the moment we cast
otn eyesupou his talse article. His first object |
was to strengthen himself—the next, Inin whom
lie worships a substantial reason. First to gel
the Temperance Societies into his web —and
then to sell them to Van Ruren for a dollar a
head. This is the scheme—not in this State
only, but throughout 1 lie Union. Van Ruren
turns every thing jmo political engines, tofurther
Itis vaulting ambition
We do not believe t(ie Temperance Societies,
even at the North, are now enlisted in the cause
of abolition and Van Ruren, although the lair
Convention at Philadelphia, refused to deny that
the imputations got up by the Enquirer were false
—or that their objects was so ely that of reform
ing drunkards &c. Still w e think it highly pro
bable that they will be. through the artifice of
certain Leaders, brought to lend themselves to {
political purposes. It is almost impossible to a- I
void it. Whenever there is an organization of
men of wealth and influence, we cure not what
may have been the original objects, it w ill sooner |
or later degenerate into a political machine. As
the Eagle may always he found hovering over;
the spot where the vultures are assembled, that
he may be fed by them, —so will designing I’oli- j
ticians always he found worming themselves into 1
large societies, dashing their councils, anti per
verting their influence to their own advancement.
That Van Ruren is now at this work throughout
the United States, we solemnly believe—and
though earnestly devoted to the avowed object of
the Temperance Society, if they, either here or
elsewhere, allow themselves to he duped hy hired
partizans, to enlist in political movements, we
for one, will proclaim it boldly and fearlessly,
regardless of all consequences. They may do
much good—and they may also do much evil—
and not being exempt, from human frailties, nor
from Party bias, —we see no reasons to believe j
they may not be lod to give countenance to pro- j
jects of a political character.
It is stated hy that infamous Press, the Globe, !
that the Nulli Tiers arc united with the friends of j
Mr. Clay on this question of slavery ; and ‘he
assertion is endorsed by the Collar Papers
throughout the Union. We will not condescend
to enter into dispute with such creatures. They
are paid their daily hire, and are only following
their vocation. VVJiatsaid the Rev. Mr. Jocelyn,
in the late public controversy with the agent of
the Colonization Society, in regard to the Nulli
fiers ? The paper in this City lias leferred to
ibis public discussion, but as in every other case,
has chosen to conceal the facts, and to give only
it> own comments in their stead. We will give
ihe facts, and leave the reader to make his own
comments.
“ Mr. Jocelyn remarked, that whether Liberia
were a flourishing colony or not; whether it were
healthy or deadly in its dim ie ; whether it
will or will not, hy the instructions of sword and
camion upon the natives, or by the annual sale of
I 400 barrels of rum, and the arts and imposi
tions which in almost all ages have been practis
ed bv colonists upon the children of the forest,
produce more moral evil than the schools and
missionaries of Liberia can counterbalance, are
matters altogether aside from the question before
ns. I.waving these and all the irielevant topics
introduced by his opponent, he should confine
himself strictly to the question. The crisis, up
on which we have fallen as a nation, the appal
ling secret of our approaching ruin, now no lon
ger hidden, its accumulating energy, its prostra
ting power, demand of us. ns Christians and citi
zens, deep thought, invincible firmness, wisdom
from above, and action rapid and united, to con
tend successfully with the foe which corrupts our j
morals, destroys our liberties, and crushes 2,000,- |
000 of our countrymen in the dust, /slavery
must speedily be overthrown—no danger is to be
compared to its continuance —no crime so heinous ‘
—none calling so loudly upr.n the God of justice
for vengeance. Although lew were unacquainted
with the subject of Slavery, and highly as he val- |
ned the hour allotted him for the discussion, yet
lie deemed it necessary to refresh the memory
with a few of the many dreadful facts which
pressed upon him in relation to this formidable
evil. The system of Slavery in the U. States,
notwithstanding that many treat their slaves as
kindly as the system will allow, .vlien viewed by
the side of our free institutions, presents a pic
ture of unparalleled atrocity. There are 2,000,-
000 slaves, and 319,000 free people of color in
this country. These slaves are regarded as prop
erty, and are the objects of barter and sale, like
goods and chattels. The law does not protect
their persons, and from their testimony not being’
admitted in courts of justice against a white man,
their lives are at the mercy of their oppressors.
They are, like cattle, raised and bred for sale,
and the horrid spectacle is seen of Christians sell
ing their brethren and sisters of Ihe church ! In
some parts of the South, whole plantations of them
are kept on a short allowance offood, in order to
break their spirits and render them tess refractory.
In other cases they have been known to be whip
ped to death. Again, the trade in slaves is nro
digious. From Virginia alone, 6000 are annual
ly sold and removed to other States. Maryland,
Kentucky, North Carolina, and other States, ex
port atleasl 10,000 more. And these troops of
bondmen generally travel in chains over the hills
and vales of our own free Columbia.
“ Now the whole mass of our enslaved popula
tion, in addition to their corporeal sufferings, are
deprived, by laws worthy to have emanated from
the pit, of the blessings of education ; their reli
gious instruction is shamefully neglected ; Sab
bath schools are closed against them, and every
thing done to keep their minds as near as possi
ble to the level of the brutes. What is this hut
on fmpious crushing of intellect, a perfidious blot
ting out of God's image from mans We were
tool yesterday of the resolution of the American
Rffile Society to supply every family in tite Uni
ted States with a llible, having been accomplish
ed. Rut how is this. Sir, when there are 200,000
families net permitted to enjoy the blessing ei
ther of the Ritile or of Tracts ? But time would
fail to attempt to poitrtiay its pernicious influ
ence upon the public faith, moral virtue, and the
happiness of the white population, or to trace its
undoubted connection with the abhorred doctrines
of Nullification , which the Speaker contended were
merely an entering wedge to ulterior designs on
the part of the Southern States, which are yet to
be developed. Such then is the abomination with
which we have to contend. How is it to be over
thrown ? What do the principles of the Ameri
can Colonization Society promise on this point ?
Does this institution profess the design of grap
pling with the monster? On this point he quo
ted the second article of the Constitution, which
defines it to be ‘ the exclusive object of the socie
ty to promote and execute a plan for colonizing
(with tlfeir own consent) the free people of color
residing in this country. He read, moreover, a
number of extracts from pamphlets and speech
es, tending to fix upon the society the charge of
denying any such principle as the ultimate abo
lition of slavery, and of apologizing for the slave
holder, and the oppressive law's of the States pre
venting emancipation on the soil. This it did
hy representing them merely as unfortunate in
having the curse entailed upon them, and by
pleading the necessity of its continuance under
present circumstances, as though it was better it
should exist than be immediately abolished. He
charges also that colonization went to increase
the value of slaves, and thus to add strength and
security to the system of slavery, hy affording a
i drain for the excess above what was necessary
for profitable employment. In this connection,
lie adduced a number of statistical facts relative
to manumission, show ing that colonization meas
ures tended rather to retard than hasten the abo
lition of slavery. As to the objections urged a
gainst immediate emancipation, they might as
well be urged against the duty of the drunkard
immediately to renounce his cups, or of the sin
ner immediately to repent. On the other hand,
he contended that immediate emancipation was
the only just, safe., profitable and practicable course
—in proof of which he c.ted a number of pertinent
cases which had occulted both in our own country,
in Mexico, and in the West Indies.” ■
Now who is this that is, with a daring tongue,
heaping slanders on the moral character of the
slave States ? Who is tracing the “ abhorred doc
trines of Nullification” to the system of Slavery
i established in the South ? Who is it that insin
uates sn intention on the part of the State Rights
Party to dissolve (lie Union? It is (his “ friend
I of the Union,” acting in concert w ith the Van
Horen Parly— adopting the cant of tnat party—
and inculcating the necessity of putting down
Nullification hy striking at the source to which
lie traces it, viz. Slavery. And by whom is he
sustained ? Hy organized societies throughout
the North called Anti-Slavery Societies—hy
presses in a hundred towns, denouncing slavery
as a national curse—and yet, says “the Seven
Principles,” there is no intention to interfere in
the subject.
We It ave already quoted the obseivations of !
many leading Northern papers which admit that
there is a scheme, and a very general one to the
North, which has for its object immediate eman
cipation. There is a passage in an editorial ar
ticle in the last Boston Gazette, (neither a Nul
lification paper nor a Clay paper,) which im
plies much. The editor says :
“ Why canr.ot the planters of the South he per
mitted to manage rlieir slave property in their
own way ? Tlio right to do so is secured to them
by the Constitution and the laws of the country.
Then is it not presumption in us—nay, is it not
an insult to their feelings and their understand
ings—to he eternally crying in their ears, aboli
tion ! abolition! abolition!? Let us hear no
more of it.”
VVliat must he inferred from this, hut that the
scheme ol abolition is not confined to a few fan
atics? No. it is not confined to a few. The
crusade will lie carried on fiy more than one mil
lion of men. We shall see it at no distant day.
These Anti-Slavery Societies, which are sprung
up like mushrooms in every township and village,
are intended to organize and unite public senti
ment, and thus to prepare for action. When or
ganization is perfected, they will throw them
selves under the banner of some profligate and
ambitious intriguer, and armed with the infernal
Proclamation and Bloody Bill, will press forward
to their object. And shall we remain silent while
this work is going on, for fear of offending cer
tain members of the Temperance Societies ?
No—we will speak out. He is a traitor to the
South who remains silent. He is worse than a
traitor who conceals the facts ftom the People
and labors to lull them into false security.

Emigrants. —The Rev. Mr. Plummer, from
Virginia, in addressing the American Home Mis
sionary Society at its anniversary last week, re
marked incidentlv that during the last few years, i
twenty thousand Swiss and Belgian emigrants
had settled upon lands in Virginia and Mary
land, which had been supposed to he worn out
and almost worthless, but which, under their cul
tivation had been made as productive as the good
lands of the West. In consequence of this,
lands had risen in value aud industry had re
ceived anew impulse.
Providence, June 3.
The trial of ‘.lie Rev. Mr. Avery, which has
occupied the *.item ion of the Supreme Court for
the last four weeks, was submitted to the jury on
Saturday evening at half past 7 o’clock. It was
closed for the prisoner by the Hon. Jeremiah Ma
son, of Boston, and for the Stale hy the Hon. Al
bert C. Greene, Attorney General. Mr. Mason's
defence of his client was ingenious, able and .
learned, and the Attorney General's close on the
part of the Government was equally so, and to
our view more conclusive and impressive.
It is dje to the Attorney General, to state that
his management of this important case, which
has excited the public mind to a degree hitherto
unexampled in the judicial annals of our coun
try, was characterized with the greatest fairness
and liberality towards the prisoner, and fidelity,
judgment and eloquence, in behalf of the State.
The prisoner was ably defended, and the gov
ernment as ably represented.
At the conclusion of the argument, tite Chief
Justice charged the Jury on the law of the case,
without adverting to the testimony at all. lie
declined going into the evidence, it being, as lie
said, the province of the jury to judge of the facts
from their own recollection of the testimony.—
The facts they would determine from the testimo
ny of the witnesses as they understood it. He
remarked, that it too often happened, where
Judges in capital cases charged tlie Jury on the
(acts, that the veidicts ol the Juries were but
echoes of the opinion ol the Judge.
The Jury, after being out sixteen hours, re
turned into Court at 12 o’olock yesterday, and
pronounced a verdict of Not Guilty.
TIiOS has this rase terminated, and we cannot
but hope the public will be s.itixfied with the ie
suit. Never was a cause presented to a Jury re
quiring a lunger or more laborious investigation ;
never has there beei\ one more fairly or fully in
vestigated. in charity, in common humanity
and justice tu ihe Rev. E. K. Avery, the judg
ment of the community should harmonize with
the verdict of the Jury in pronouncing him Not
Guilty.
Mr. Avery was discharged hy the Court, and
we learn he returned in the alter noon to his fam
ily in Bristol.

Reduction of Wages. —We learn, with much
regret, that peremptory orders have been received
from the War Department, to reduce the wages
of the artisans employed in the Armory at Harp
er’s Ferry, 25 pet cent. This is a serious event
to the working citizens of that place—indeed it
may he termed a calamity. We have not been
in the habit of saying much in favor of the pres
ent Administration, but really we (eel confident
that a re-consideration of this measure would
move the authorities at Washington to a prompt
and cherfull reversal of the order. We cannot
believe that the President will suffer so large
a body of useful and meritorious men to be re
duced to a condition of absolute and fruitless
drtidgerv.— Charlestown Free Press.

(17 We publish this week, the Virginia mid
Kentucky Resolutions of'oß, and hope, that tnu
ny of our old Republicans, will profit by the op
portunity of becoming refreshed in the true doc
trines oftheir party.
The Hon. William 11. Crawford has addressed
a letter to the Editor of the Savannah Republican,
which will be found in this weeks paper, in which
he indulges in some observations which call for a
passing notice. This gentleman lias been rever
ed by Ids party for his sterling integrity, correct
principles, and the unwavering zeal, with which
tic has supported those principles. Throughout
the Union,lre lias acquired an enviable celebrity by
Ids ardent devotion to democracy, that pure de
mocracy, which at one time characterized the ad
ministration of afliiirs in Georgia. For Ids bold
and faithful support of these principles, he obtain
ed the honored appellation of the “ Radical ehiefi”
lie merited the distinction, and for a long period,
democracy had no more devoted champion than
William 11. Crawford. But tenipora mulanlvr— !
Mr. Crawford now openly denounces those who
practice the some principles tlmt lie once professed,
ias promoters of miseldid Mr, Crawford tiinisrll,
to be consistent, should be a professed and praeti- j
cal nullifier. He cannot surely be afraid or ashani
cd of the na ne. The term is meant by some, as
one of reproach, significant of a dangerous and
revolutionizing spirit, but as the descriptive name !
of principles which have for years guided and gov
erned the democracy of Georgia—principles which
Mr. Crawford hiinselflias so manfully sustained, j
and which at one time were identified with hi* j
name, vve glory in the ti'le. II nullilicatio.i has I
done mischief it is mischief ol this sort, —it has
separated the sheep from the goals, it lias proved
a powerful menstruum which bus dissolved dis
cordant elements which never should have been
united. If nullification has produced a schism in
the Troup party, the nulliliers are not the schis
matics; — they have only adhered to measures rath
er than to men, nnd been guilty of the ros/me-uand
imprudence of sustaining correct principles under
nil odious name.
The Judge observes that the “nomination of.
Maj. Joel Crawford will be the rallying point of j
the republican purly.” He goes on further to re- j
mark, that “ the Major, though no nullifier, will
receive the undivided support of the Republican
parly, nul'ifiers nnd nil,” This may he a hasty
conclusion—a name possesses abstractly no vir
tue, but when thut name is characteristic of cer
tain principles,it is no longer without importance,
Maj. Crawtord can bestow whnt baptismal name ■
upon his creed he thinks fit, whatever that name
may be. It his creed correspond with ours, if it
embraces in all its essentiuls, the same principles
which we nnd others, as nullifiers, who are not n
sharned of the name, profess, we shall give him
our hearty support—hut if he is no nullifier either
in name or principle, we are not for him, excep
tionable ns his ipponent is nnd always will be to
us. YVe learn that he lias written a letter to
this place, in which he has avowed sentiments
that would he acceptable to all who advocate the
doctrine of “ State Rights;” if this be the ease, in
justice to hirnsclfund his friends, he should give
publicity to them, und thus put an end to any di
versity of opinion which mny exist in the Repub
lican party; t lie promulgation of his sentiments
can do him no injury, whereas the suppression
may, even with those who nre convinced oftheir
eorreetness and orthodoxy.
We agree with Judge Crawford, that “ a few
more years and things will settle down on a prop
er husis.” We believe that in a short time, there
will he two great divisions of parly, that the doc
trine of State Rights, now recognised by a portion
of the Troup party—will be the peculiar character
istic of the entire party, and that Democracy and
Federalism as in days gone by, will be the distin
guishing attributes of party. As for ourselves,
whatever cognomen may be bestowed upon us,
whether popular or odious, we shall maintain the
’doctrine of “ State Rights,” and gladly bail as eo
n./jiilora, men of nil creeds who are luleclcJ (to
use the words of Jmljfe Crawlord) with nullifica
lion, and who like Pemberton and Nevvnnn, have

infinitely more useful and expeditions than any

The piincipal ingredient which constitutes the

attracted the attention ol the most scientific men
in Europe, and many communications on the
beneficial effects arising from its use, mav he

dentrifice. It bus an agreeable taste, is perfect
ly harmless, being devoid of acid, which is so in
jurious to the enamel of the teeth, and yet is suf
ficiently detersive to remove the adhering tartar,
and by eradicating the scurvy from the gums,
causes those teeth that are loose to become firm.
It is a speedy remedy for eruptions and soreness
of the mouth.&. Completely removes the unpleas
