Auli-iavery Convention.
The llth anniversary of the American Anti
Slavery Socieiy, was held in New York, week
before last; and with the avowed object, as
stated by some of the leading members of'" rev
olutionizing the Union, and overthrowing the
Constitution." William Llovd Garrison, the
notorious abolitionist of Boston, presided ; and
speeches were made by the Rev. Henry Grew,
of Philadelphia, W. Phillips, of Boston, Abby
Kelly, of N. Y , a fugitive Slave from Mary
laud, James Foster, of Mass., Miss C. Hitch
cock, of Cunn., and others.
According to all accounts it was a strangri
and motley affair. The addresses were of the
most indecent, inflammatory, and- dangerous
character The audience was composed of
persons of both sexes and colours. Men and
women, white and black, bond and free, were
mixed together promiscuously, and look a deep
and approving interest in what was going on.
Disunion, disorder, and detrac:ion, were the
order of the day. The Union, the Constitution,
the Christian Church, and our Revolutionary
Patriots, were each, in turn, made the subject
of the most violent and virulent attacks. No
thing appeared loo sacred lo escape the denun
ciation of the speakers. We give some of ihe
remarks of Miss Hitchcock, as a specimen.
She said,
"The preamble to the Constitution talks about
perfecting a Union. All a sham. There might
be a union between pitates and murderers, and
thieves and robbers, but there can be no true
union between Slavery and Liberty; and every
man who goes for the Constitution goes for sla
very. It pretends to establish justice. As wel
aay that the cannibal who eats'his Englishman
for breakfast and his Frenchman for supper, is
just. It is all a delusion. The authors of the
compact did not mean lo be just. They tolera
ted the slave trade with all its horrors for twen
ty years and this was just! Nothing but
Despotism of the deepest dye, Tyranny of dark
est hue, Oppression of the most cruel charac
ter, could have dictated a compact which tole
rated such a system a3 this. And yet so acted
the founders of the American Constitution. It
was a covenant with death, an agreement with
hell, not done in a frenzy, but deliberately and
coolly, calmly, not unhesitatingly. There
was hesitation. But the deed was done, dark
and bloody as it was. Benjamin Franklin pro
posed prayer and lo whom ? To Satan ; and
he coming up out of the boiiomless pit, nerved
iheir hands, and put the pen inio them, and
strengthened them to do the dark and wicked
work. It gives me no pleasure to descend into
the graves of these honoured men but I tell
no more ihan the truth. This Constitution,
then, is fit only to be torn in pieces and tram
pled under foot. I hope it will be no more
honoured ; and my prayer is that this agitalion
will go on, until from one end of the country to
the other, the bloody Union will be put down,
-and the bloody pariizan banner of the country
be prostrated in the dust."
it win nardly be credited that such senti
ments as these could be uttered by any person
bearing the semblance of a young, virtuous and
delicate female. But such is the truth. Some
of the other speakers were much more violent.
Wendell Phillips, of Boston, also spoke, and
gloried in the admission of Texas, and the con
sequent extension of Slavery, as it would result
in the dissolution of the Union. He argued
that ihe only exodus of the slave from the house
of bondage was to be over the ruins of the Con
stitution, and ihat the Texas movement, as lend
ing sooner or later to overthrow that Constitu
tion was a movement lo be glad of and rejoice
m. Other speakers attacked the Church and
ihe Clergy, and declared that no places of in
famy "were worse ihan ihe meeting houses,
where slavery was not denounced ; nor any
body of men worse hypocrites, than the minis
ters who preached there.. Such were some of
the mildest remarks at this meeting. It con
tinued in session four or five day, and ihe pro
ceedings throughout were distinguished by ihe
most shameful disorder. How lamentable that
our country' should be the theatre of such doings.
Tlie tf arrisburg Post Office.
The Loco Focos of Harrisburg, have, we
understand, had a delightful scramble for the
Post Office, in ihat place. There were five
applicants, all of whom were btrongly recom
mended; and the President, to avoid the un
pleasant difficulty of making a selection, has
continued Dr. Peacock, the old incumbent.
The most remarkable circumstance of the af
fair is, that upon comparing papers, at Wash
ington, it was found that his Excellency, Gov
Shunk, had signed in favor of each of the rival
candidates for the honour. This was very kind
in his Excellency but we doubt very much if
any other Governor in the Union would be guil
ty of doing just such another wholesale busi
ness. The several applicants certainly will
feel very much indebted to him for his kind in
tentions! Very much!1.

We refer our readers to another column fur
an account of the great race between ihe north

tona. It appears from it, that our favourite of
the north has been beaten but barely beaten.
The race was very close ; and the backers of
Fashion are any thing but satisfied that Peyio

ihat another purse of $50.000 -has been made

The great contest between Fashion and Pey

The N. Y. Tribune says: " The gathering
on ihe Course was much larger than we have
ever seen there, and according to ihe best es
timates, reached 100,000 persons. The stands
were all crowded to the utmost extent; the track
was so much encumbered ihat a strong police
force could scarcely keep it free for the running
horses, and the field was full of carriages and
omnibusses filled with passengers. In the
members' stand wero about sixty ladies, be
longing to the first families of the city.
v The Course was not in good order, being ve
ry dry and in some parts fetlock deep with sand
and dust. This was more unfavorable to Fash
ion than lo Peytona, the latter being the strong

The excitement was great when ihe horses
appeared al the lap of the drum, and bptting be

Mr. Halslcad moved again this morning, that
the prisoners be brought to the bar fur sentence.
Mr. Vroom, on behalf of Jos. Carter, moved
that the sentence be respited till next term. He
made a strong appeal lo the court, on the ground
of ihe .cireumsiawial mid mcnm-Iii-ive charac

Our Foreign Relations.
Nothing of importance has transpired since
our last to throw additional light upon ihe con
dition of our diplomaiic relations wiih England
or Mexico. The impression is, however, be
coming pretty general ihat there will be no out

expect further news, however, in a few days,
which will throw a good deal of light upon the
subject. Until then we will express no opinion.
The Concord Freeman, a paper (says the
Lowell Courier) which has labored wiih as
much zeal, and with infinitely more talent than
any oilier paper in the Stale to elevaie Colonel
Polk to the Presidency, ihus speaks of ihe fa
voritism which he has shown to the Tennes
seeans in the division of the spoils. It is se
vere but true :
" It is astonishing what an immense mass of
talent has been lying dormant, in Tennessee,
and which ihe genial sun of patronage has
warmed into active life for the benefit of man
kind in general, and Americans in particular.
From Presidents to Pursers from diplomaiisis
to debaiers there is no kind of public men that
Tennessee cannot furnish, of a neat and unde
niable quality. The hive has swarmed, and
ihe way the insects are crossing the mountains,
reminds one of the host of lean and hungry
Scotchmen who passed over ihe Tweed into
-England on ihe accession of James VI. to the
English throne. As the Scotch went from ihe

from a country where "half-starved spiders fed

full siomach was something more than a mere
tradition from a place where every man was
born with a " fiddle" in his hand, lo a nation
which had harps in its halls, and organs in its
cathedrals so does ihe Tennesseean leave ihe
bleak regions of repeated and constant defoai,
for the "boasted titles" and the " golden fields"
of successful ambition; and we are lempted to
parody the lines which were applied to one of
the brimstone-laden musicians of the north by
a sarcastic Englishman:

and even occasionally larger odds on the South

When ihe. Jiorses came up for ihe second
heat, they did not appear to have cooled off
well, Fashion being apparently most distressed.
After one false start they went offal a slashing
pace, Fashion getting the inside. During the
first three miles the horses ran together with
scarcely perceptible difference between them,
and the interest of the race became intense.
When they passed the judges' stand on the
fourth mile Peytona was scarcely the breadth
of an ear behind. Both jockeys were plying
spurs and crowding the horses to their utmost
speed. On the last quarter Peytona made a
brush and it. was evident that her stride was
doing ihe business. Coming down the straight
turn to the Judges' stand she gained slightly at
ereiy jump and came in (Fashion under whip
and spur) winning the heat and race by half a
length. The shout that rent ihe welkin was
the signal for ihe transfer of at least one hun
dred thousand dollars from the pockets of ihe
North to ihe pockets of ihe South.
The time, ii will be seen, was noi very good,
the first heal being 7 1-4 seconds longer than
Fashion's first heat with Boston. The first
heal was run in 7 38 1-2, and the second in 7
45.
