The Liberator

A Mr. Earle then addressed the Convention on the resolutions of Mr. Foster, in relation to oaths under the government. In the afternoon, among other matters, a very spirited discussion arose between Charles Lenox Remond, Frederick Douglass, among others, on the one side, and George Bradburn on the other, on the question of raising funds for the objects of the society. Bradburn, being of the Liberty Party, came in and assailed the old organization as violent and abusive; Douglass rose and entered the list against him, and we will give him the credit of saying that he proved himself fully a match for friend George. He poured on him a torrent of declamation and invective, which made even Bradburn wince. Said Douglass, never was there a more abusive and scurrilous party than the Liberty party, and never was there a more fit representative of its abuse and scurrility than George Bradburn. (Great applause.) Douglass was interrupted by Bradburn, but he sustained himself with increased power. After a while, great confusion arose, mingled with considerable laughter, and Bradburn and others tried to get the floor. After a while, Bradburn succeeded in getting the floor, and endeavored to defend himself, but not with his usual success. A collection was then taken up, and a large sum raised while Mr. Foster was speaking. Among other large sums, Wendell Phillips gave $100, Francis Jackson $100. Several $20, and some fifty or sixty $5 apiece. Several hundred dollars were collected in all. One Mellen of Boston gave a donation of twenty-five books, which he valued at $25, written by him to sustain the Liberty party, and to expound the Constitution. Much fun ensued on this, and one cried out,—'You can't get rid of them any other way?

MOBISM. A disgraceful row was got up last evening by some young rowdies and graceless scoundrels, at the meeting of the abolitionists in the Marlboro' Chapel, which had the effect of breaking up the meeting. The ostensible cause was some remark made by one of the speakers, Mr. Pillsbury, that the Protestants were behind the Mahometans and Roman Catholics in reference to opposition to slavery, and should be ashamed of it. Hence the above rowdies considered themselves the defenders of Protestantism, and commenced a disturbance which broke up the meeting, and a large audience of gentlemen and ladies who had come to the meeting from curiosity to hear the eccentric speakers, were obliged to vacate the house. Such affairs are disgraceful to Boston. They have a tendency to help the very cause which is attempted to be put down. The good sense of our community may always be relied upon to discountenance the denunciations of abolitionists without resorting to a mob. If our city government or city police were worth a fig of tobacco the outrage on our city would not have taken place. This very mob has done more for abolitionists than all their recent meetings and collections of funds, and all in consequence of this conduct on the part of young mobocrats, who should all be sent to the House of Correction for six months, and who will probably soon be there. We want no mobs to put down any meeting, however objectionable it may be to a portion of our population.

ANTI-SLAVERY MEETING ONCE MORE AT MARLBORO' CHAPEL. Last evening's session drew together a tremendous audience, both as to numbers and power of hissing, sneezing and stamping. A Mr. Pillsbury, of New-Hampshire, took the stand, and for some time held the audience quite still. His subject was our Christianity, and he made several good points, reasoning from them with much acuteness and power. He remarked, that in Virginia, seventy crimes are punished with death, when committed by slaves or colored people, and only six when perpetrated by white people. He then alluded to the slaves in Persia, over whom so many tears have been shed in Boston this week, by the missionary meetings. There, in that Mahomedan country, the slaves receive but half as much punishment as the free people, for the commission of the same crimes. And the reason of the law is, that the bondmen are not considered on par with the freemen, and consequently ought not to receive so much punishment. "Now,' said the speaker, 'we send missionaries to Persia to make them Christians, when we ought to import some turbaned missionaries from that country to teach us the very first lessons of Christianity. He next contrasted Romanism with Protestantism in connection with slavery, and struck a balance in favor of the former. A shame on Protestantism!' he exclaimed with a loud voice. And then such shouts, hissings and clamors of every sound and description as broke forth from the crowded assembly, were never heard before in Marlboro' Chapel. 'The speaker stood his ground, silent and undaunted, while, for the space of nearly half an hour, the galleries were shaking with the uproars of the multitude, who were shouting, Put him out! throw him over! choke him off! After the lapse of nearly half an hour, the speaker very wisely came to the conclusion that the multitude were determined to hurrah, hiss and shout as long as he stood on the platform, and set down. Mr. Phillips then rose, and endeavored with all his power to engage the attention of the audience, and after a while, he succeeded to some extent. He complimented Mr. Pillsbury's speech very highly, said it was well put, logically connected and eloquently delivered. I was thinking, said he, 'when my brother was speaking, that it would be better for the slaves of America, if we should all wake up to-morrow morning Turks instead of Christians. This remark excited the auditors to a high pitch. and he fared no better than the gentleman who preceded him, whose speech he was eulogizing so eloquently ; for one general burst of indignant feeling issued from a thousand throats, and echoed about the Hall like thunder and earthquakes. This uproar continued for some time, until nearly ten o'clock. How the affair ended we know not, for we left the house while it was shaken from floor to ceiling with the tremendous uproars of the congregation.
