Falsehood and «•Iboliliun.—The following paragraphs
art; copied front the Boston Allas, n print which we
quote ns “a leading Whig paper,” when we wish to dis
grace that parly the most:—
I. “Wo had Imped that the Slave Qccstion would have been i
discussed without reference to its bearing on any political interest—
and especially without reference toiho Presidential Election.” * *
si. “Is not the 13lobe well aware that .Mr. Vuir Jluren is expressly
sustained in Now England, as the opposing candidate of u Slope
hoIJi-r, and as the friond of aliolition ? Is not tire Globe aware II at
the abvlUiunitt* of Massachusetts and Vermont have rallied under
Van Ruren’s banner, with this cry on their lip* ? Is not the Gloho
a\%(ir<* thai Cvnnmt+imut wras carried Cur Vuii fluion hj t|i»« ul>otit»on>
ists, by a studious representation that an ultimato union of the
friends ol Mr. Webster and Judge White would he nccossrvry to dc* !
feat the election of Van Boren—and tlint thu* Mr. Van Ruren would
Como in ns the Anti slave holders’ candidate ?’’ * *
3. “This sid" of the I'otmnuc, Marlin Vnn Ruren is held up ns an l
abolitionist; while on the other he is opposed to all interference with
the rights or the South; and from hi* writings on this mihjrct, you
can establish cither opinion with equal plausibility.” » »
4. “.Mr. Van Ruren is thu favorite of the abolitionists; and is
urged upon this sect in this portion of tho country, as a mail disposed
to favor their views.”
1. rite violent tone which the Atlas has assumed in
discussing tho various questions that have occupied the
public mind for some years past, betrays a rashness and
imbecility, which, although it may swear like FalstntFs I
soldiers in Flanders, it ent-not hide. Its utter disregard I
of truth in its random assertions, nnd the childish man- I
ner in which it has flourished ilslin sword, and strotted I
under its pasteboard cap, while threatening annihilation
lo every thing that should oppose its mighty inarch, has
often excited the derision of its enemies, and the morti
fication of ils friends. That the Atlas “hoped the Slave
Question would he discussed without reference to its
bearings on any political interest,” is proved to he false
by its own conduct; for if is now seeking to make it a poli
tical question, hy declaring that Mr. Van Buren is the
candidate of the abolitionists! A declaration which
could only have sprung from ignorance or depravity, as
it is without any foundation in truth, and calculated, if
the assertions o( the Atlas are credited at ail, to augment
the evil it pretends to deprecate.
O Tim ,1.;. ..
falsehoods—the most foolish, groundless, wicked, abso
lute falsehoods, that typos are capable of signifving. ,
We challenge and defy the Allas to prove'"that ‘'Kit )
Van fluren is expressly sustained in New England, ns •
the opposing candidate of a Slave holder, ant7 n3 the
friend of Abolition.” On the contrary, the. leuding alo '
hlionisls in J\i w l.nglaud art Whigs—their fust and
foremost man in this city is I). I. Child, Esq., a personal
ar.d political friend of the New England Whig candi
date for the Presidency—one whom Mr. Webster hns
sustained and countenanced publicly and privately_
whom he referred to in n public meeting at Fancuil flail
as “hi* friend," and who has been among the most vio
lent oppose™ of Gen. Jackson and Marlin Van Huron— i
with whom Mr. Webster was associated in the Mmidru- ■
co case—an action brought by a colored man against j
a Strain Boat Company, because he was not allow- j
ed all the privileges on boatd of their boat enjoyed
try the white passengers—dining at the same table. 1
Ac., in which case, through the influence of Mr
VI., the plaintiff received a favorable verdict. Dar
ing the elections hero, last year, the Whigs controll
ed the blacks completely, and represented themselves as
their exclusive friends—true blue Abolitionists—made
speeches at the meetings of the blacks—carried them to
the polls in carriages, and received almost the entire vote
of the black population of Boston.* In Portland, the
..C.-l iko most conspieuoua Aknli ;
tionists. Gen. Fessenden, the most distinguished Abo- J
litionist in New England, and as ardent and an active a I
Whig as enn be fooml in the country, orr*niec-d the
blacks of Portland ns part of the regular Whig party
harangued them, told them that the Whigs were Aboli
tionists, and induced them to give their votes for Church
ill, (Whig,) ns a candidate to Congress, from Cumber
land District, in opposition to Smith, (Democrat.) Does
this look like rallying under tile abolition flag, on the
part of the friends of Mr. Van IJuren, with that cry up
on their lips ? But does it not prove that the W higs ral
lied under this fanner, and that the cry of abolition was
on their lips? In New Hampshire the abolitionists be
long to the some class of politicians, and ns far as our
knowledge extends, t lie leading abolitionists in that Stale
are the leading Whigs. Tic intimation that the elec
tion in Connecticut was decided in reference to the abo
lition question, has not a shadow of truth to justify it,
and we call upon the press in that Slate to say if we are
not correct in this assertion. The same is the ease in
Vermont—abol11ion there is no more connected with Van
Boren *han it is with Webster, and wc also solicit the
testimony of the press in that State upon this point

article on Friday last:
MR VAN BUREN AND THE ABOLITIONISTS.

"We ure perfectly aware of the worthlessness of the
source <>l't hi.a shameful calumny, uml that a denial of it
before an intelligent People, who understand and esti
mate the views ot public men, eon scarcely lie necessary.
We allude to it, indeed, rather us an illustration of the
desperate resorts of the Opposition press, than as a mat
ter entitled to a formal contradiction.
“Nuthiug can be more explicit than the opinions of Mr.
\ an Ilmen on this subject; and freely promulgated us
these opinions have been, it require* no ordinary degree
ot aesurauce to repress ut him as “the Candidate of the
Abolitionists.' More than a year since, in reply to a
letter acquainting him of an attempt, by the congenial
associates of the Star, “to impose upon the public" re
specting the question of slave property in the Southern
States,be said : “The subject is. in my judgment,exclu
sively under the control of the State Governments; and
I am nut apprised, nor do { believe tint a contrary opi
nion, to an extent deserving consideration, is entertained
in any part of the United States. The charge, there
fore, to which you have had the goodness to call my at
tention, that 1 ‘am in favor of an interference by Con.
gross, in manumitting your slave property,’ is destitute
ot foundation: so far from it, 1 do not see on what au
thority the General Government could interfere, with
out a change in the Constitution, even ut the instance
of one or all of the Slave-holding States." Sub
sequently, Mr. Wright, our Senator itt Congress,
having been appealed to by several members o7‘ the
Legislature of Virginia for Mr. Van Buren's sen
timents on this subject, replied, “The Constitution of
tire United States does not, in the opinion of Mr. Van
Boren, give Congress the right to interfere with the re
lation between mister and slave in any of the States,and

in reply to a letter from Hugh A. Garland, Esq.
of Virginia, alluded to and rc-at!irmed these statements,
fortifying his lucid and unanswerable exposition, |»y facts
showing tfiut in this respect there is scarcely a shade of
difference among the great mass of the intelligciU and
reflecting people of the Middle and Eastern Stale*; uud
that tile substantial operative and controlling sentiment
U1 u»e A>orui, is mat tins is a matter belonging ex
cluaivelv to the States—that Congress (in tlie language*
of Mr. Webster) had no power to interfere in the email*
cipation of slaves,or in the treatment of them in any of
i e ^eVCB—an<* l*lat ^,0 ^^ors °f the abolitionists and
tlieir followers, are as unsound, constitutionally and legal,
ly, as they ure impolitic and pernicious, in reference both
to the interest of the slave and the welfare of the com
munity. It was well understood,also, that there expres
sions of the opinions of Mr. Van Huren, so far as they
were not directly from himself, received distinctly hi*
authority and sanction. Under thesecircuinstaue.es, it
acquired, we repeat, more than ordinary impudence and
profligacy to stigmatise him as ‘-the candidate of the abo
litionistsand every body knows with what alacrity
the editor of the Evening Star complies with n requisi
tion upon qualities of that sort.
“Hut there is another view of this matter, which exhib
its the nature of this calumny in a light of still greater
infamy. 1 he abolitionists ns a body ure fur from beino
the political friends of Mr. Van Huren. The mass of
them, tin ir sinister and fanatical leadcis especially, arc
among his most vindictive opponents. They uie’ the
political friends and associates of ihe New York Evening
Star, and the United States Telegraph. In a spiiit of’
self-contradiction which characterizes the entire course
ot the opponents of the Administration, they nre among
• lie loudest and wildest declaimers for personal and po
litieal freedom, and at the same moment among the most
illiberal of the adversaries of the democracy and popular
rights, and among the narrowest of those who would fet
ter and restrict the freedom of opinion.
'■ We will add a single remark, and that is, that a resi
dent of the North, who attempla to excite the feeling of
cf another section of the Union against a candidate, by
Inlsely proclaiming him to be “secretly the Northern can
didate, will, we are persuaded, bo rightly estimated,
not only at the South, but in every quarter of the Re
public. In what light would the frank and intelligent
people of the South view one of their own residents
who should attempt to create a prejudice at the North
against a candidate, by insidiously assuring the people
ot that section that he was “the candidate of * he South?”
Surely the question needs no answer at our hands, nor is
it necessary on the part of the friends of Mr. Van Hu
ren to disclaim altogether these sectional distinctions,
and to claim for him the support of all who seek an ad
ministration of the government upon grounds consist
ent with the constitutional rights and social welfare of
the entire Union.”
If, therefore, we repeat, it were formidable in itself
and capable ot carrying out its designs in a partial de
gree, it would be productive only of injury and prejudice
to the slave, as well as to the white population, both at
the, South ami the North. The articles which we copy
to-day from the Northern and Southern Journals, und
the prevalent expression among all classes of citizens
are sufficient evidence of this. Rut the Abolitionists ore’
not formidable in themselves. The great body of the
people at the North ure not with them—they are cm
piialically against them. They are comparatively a hand
lui— noisy, busy, and zealous, we admit; but powerless
and weaponless; and can do uoessential barm, except ns
tin y are magnified into consequence by sinister partisan
representations. It is perfectly true, that a vast majority
of the people of the Nmlli would resist the approaches
and turns of this wild and wicked scheme of fanaticism
as resolutely as any portion of their brethren of the’
I ho assertion that Mr. \ on Huron’s opinions are rn-*i
vorttl upon the question of abolition, is equally ns false
as the other asseverations of the Atlas. More than a
year since, in reply to u letter acquainting him of an at
tempt to impose upon the public respecting i|„. question
ot slave property in the Southern States,lie said—
“The subject is, in iny judgment, tidusirthj under
the control ot the State Governments; and I am not
apprised, nor do 1 believe that a contrary opinion to an
extent deserving consideration, is entertained in any
part of the United States. The charge, therefore to
U-liirh vnn linen it... _ __n _ .. .
I
I
that f ‘am in favor of nn interference by Congrcm in
manumitting jour slave property,’ is destitute of fJtin
tiation : so tar from it, i do not see nn what authority the
general government could interfere, with a change of
the Constitution, even at the instance of either or all of
the slave-holding States.”
Further than this, Mr. Wright, member of the United
Slates Senate from New York, and Mr. Van Boren s
confidential friend, having been appealed to by several
members of the Legislature of Virginia for .Mr. Van
Boren's sentiments on this subject, replied_
“The Constitution of Hie (J. States does not, in the
opinion of Air. Van Boren, give to Congress the right
to interfere with tin- relation between master and slave
in any of the Stales, and lie would consider it highly
impolitic for that body to pass a law abolishing slavery
ill tho 1 JisJnct of Columbia.”
“Again,” says the Albany Argus, in commenting upon
this same point, “Mr. Butler, Attorney-Genera) of t e
•United Stab s in reply to a letter from Hugh A Garland
F,sq. of Virginia, alluded to and ro-alfirmed these sUfe
•menU, fortifying his lucid and unanswerable exposition
by facts allowing that in this respect there is scarcely a
shade of difference among the great mass of the intelli
gent and reflecting people of the Middle and Eastern
Slates: and that the substantia! operative and controlling
sentiment of the North is, that this is a matter belonging
exclusively to the States- that Congress (in the lan
guage of Mr. Wi hater) has no powe r to interfere in the
emancipation of Slaves, or in the treatment of them in
any of the Slates—and that the labors of I he abolitionist*
and tlicir follower* are as unsound, constitutionally and
legally, as they are impolitic and pernicious, in reference
both to the interests ol the slave ami the welfare of the
community, it was well understood also, that these ex
pressions of the opinions of Mr. Van Buren, far is
they were not directly from himself, received distinctly
his authority and sanction. Under tin s.- circumstances
it required, we repeat, more than ordinary impudence
and profligacy to stigmatize him as ‘the candidate of the
abolitionists f ’’
■I. The allegation that “Mr. Van Buren is the Tavorito
of the abolitionists, and is urged upon the sect in
this portion of th< country, n* a man disposed to favor
their views, is the very climax of mendacity, as we
have shown, indisputably, above. Wc nro free to
acknowledge that wc do not believe that the short
sighted and unjustifiable Course pursued by the All 13
upon the abolition question, is approved of by a majority
ol the Whigs—so far ns we have been able to ascertain
the views sod feelings of (he discreet and sensible nor
lion of tli,it party in this city, they wish (hat politics
have nothing to do with the subject, but that such
measure* may be adopted ns will convinee the South
that the great body of the people of the East and North
are for sustaining the Constitution, and adhering strict
ly lo I"* conditions upon which it was adopted—they
believe (lie question of emancipation hr long- exclusive

THE MEETING ON SATl RDA\
J iTiRsBiMc, August 11th.—The Public MiTting
lii-ld on Saturday last, was one of the most numerous
arid respectable we have ever witnessed in this place,
l'he whole proceedings were characterised with gieat
unanimity ; a few dissenting voices to the Hth resolution
only being heard. and those, from gentlemen concurring
most heartily in all the leyal objects of the meeting—
and who would tie the last persons in the world to screen
tile guilty incendiary from an udcipialc sununtiry pun
ishment, provided the l.me could not reach him. There
may be persons who will object to the strcnulh of some
portions of the Preamble and Resolutions; hut we beg
leave to remind them, that the question at issue is one
in which we arc all equally interested—and that it is not
only proper, but it hi patriotic, to give up our scruples
upon minor points, li,r the sake ot union and harmony
upon those which arc of much more consequence,
{Constellation.
PUBLIC MKLTING.
At n meeting of the citizens of Petersburg, held at the
Court-llousc, on Saturday the 8th instant, to take into
consideration the best means of counteracting the
schemes and machinations of the Abolitionists:
J. D. Townes (Mayor) was called to the Chair, and
H. 11 ailies and l liomas L, \\ tlson appointed Secretaries.
1 lie Chairman staled that the meeting hud been called
in pursuance ol a resolution adopted at an informal meet
ing of the citizens of the Town, held ut the Masonic
Hull, on Thursday last ; and that a CoinmiL«.e. consist
mg of Col. James W. Pegruill, R R. Collier, Dr. Tho
mas Robinson, George YV. Harrison, Captain David
Branch, II. Haines, and the Rev. Minton Thrift, had
been appointed by that meeting, to draft a"Preamble and
Resolutions fur the-■’:-1—*! — !
-- — consideration of this meeting.
Col. James W. Pcgrum, Chairman of the aforesaid
Committer, made the following Report:
The Committee, to whom was referred the subject of
the efforts which certain fanatics of the North are mak
ing to cause an immediate abolition of Slavery in the
Southern States, and especially the means proper for us
to adopt, in order to counteract proceedings intended to
instigate our Slaves to mutiny and murder, have ma
turely considered this delicate and vital subject, and beg
leave to submit the following Report and Resolutions:
A well regulated subordination, as also the appeurance
of jierfecl contentment and happiness among the slave
population of Virginia—arising from a long-continued
course of humane and indulgent treatment—would
seein to render any unusual vigilance, on the part of our
citizens, quite unnecessary. So far from an increased
intelligence and improvement of their condition, hav
ing produced an apparent tendency to insubordination
....u »I« uiaiiuv among mem, our observation has led us
to conclude that no laboring class could appear better
satisfied witli their lot. Your Committer, therefore, are
not disposed to visit tlie lollies and crimes of the fana
tics upon our vet unoffending Slaves by recommending
measures, at this time, calculated to bind more closely
tlioit letters. 1 hey believe that our laws are sufficicut
ly rigorous to insure necessary discipline, without fur
ther legislative provisions, if they are properly enforced,
lint the regulations and inefficient police of our own
lown, for the ordinary purposes of order and moral go
vernment, seem to require immediate attention lioxn the
proper authorities.
The abstract question of Slavery is one on which no
candid difference of opinion can exist among an enlight
ened and Christian people. But appealing u, the hiator v
.. °Ur ,c?u!‘tr>' tor our “cquiltul Irom its stain, and to
all candid observers for the truth of the remark, that its
burthens have become alleviated in this State, by an en
lightened humanity, to an extent which causes its sub
lecU to be scarcely sensible of its reality, we will ns dis
dainfully refuse in our situation tobe'drawn into any
discussion as to submit to any interruption of our rights
on this subject. And when we find that this evil in our
society, for which wo are nowise answerable, and which
we were proceeding by all prudent and practicable re
gulations of our own to palliate, is to employed as a means
ot plunging us into deeper and inextricable difficulties
we are admonished by our constitutional rights and by
Sentinels0*1 dUt‘i8 UCl ll,e Part of dwindling
We have view ed the first movements of the Northern
Abolitionists with no other than feelings of scorn and
derision. \»efelt that a crusade commenced against
the South by such heroes would be as contemptible as its
motives were ostentatious and its spirit hypocritical —
“e quietly looked forward to see this unprincipled de
sign smothered by a patriotic and humane spirit in the
people among whom it displayed itself. Hut when
these misguided wretches are allowed by public opi
mon and the municipal authorities of some of our
sister Slates in the North to organize their fiendish
hand with the avowed object of invading rights gua
ranteed tj our Citizens by the Constitution" and by
stirring up revolt among the Slaves of the South
to levy a servile war upon a large portion of these
united Mates; and when, moreover, one of the
Departments of the Federal Ciovormneut, instituted as
the national channel ot hicndty and commercial corres
pondence between the citizens of this l. nion, is employ
ed as a known agent ot these hostile plots, it threatens to
become a question of no distant consideration in the
South in what relation we will stand towards our
present fellow-citizens of the North, and whether we
may regard the Union as the means of our protection or
of our doslruction.
. numerous associations in this country publicly
formed with the design of instigating and aiding the
negroes ofthe West India Islands in a rebellion against
the laws of a country with which we are connected |>y
friendly alliances, would afford just cause of national
resentment, our indignation for similar aggression from
communities connected will, us by the mutual relation
and obligations of sister States, must be acknowledged
as at least equally well founded. °
Desiring therefore to cherish an undisturbed affection
fiir our countrymen of the North, and confiding in a ge
tuTdi U'cling among them ot* brotherly inlcrodt towards
us, we appeal to them for a proper consideration of the
pait which their duty to us and to their country requires
them to net on this subject. In order loexpressthe feel
mgs and determination of the people of Petersburg in
general meeting assembled, on the subject above advert
1. llcsolred, That we cordially respond to the senti
monts and resolutions of our fellow-citizens of Rich
mond, expressed by a public meeting in that city on the

and <>ur fallow-citizens of the South generally, in „,ch
mca.-mrcs as may secure the undisturbed enjoyment of
our common rights.
5J. Kcsolvrd. That wo view with the utmost scorn and
indignalK.ii the laic attempts of the abolitionists inv.t
ing our slaves to insurrection and massacre; but hope
that tho intelligent, the virtuous and the philanthropic
our Northern brethren, either by force of public opi
nion or by municipal regulations, will espo.se their hypo
critical schemes, and trample under foot their nefarious
and diabolical purposes, and tin reby save us the alterna
tive of teaching them, either l.y a faithful execution of
our laws, or if need be, by the use of means well adapted
to he atrocity of their olfence, our own estimate of our
rights and our fixed determination at all hazards to
m bad‘"‘ a“d dcfend l,,e,n» bc lhu consequences good
llrtolctd,. That we thnll repose no confidence in
, Kf,oti feelings of our fellow-citizens of the North
however strongly and unequivocally expressed, if they
confine their exertions in our behalf to inrie declarations
as inefficient as they are uncalled-for; instead of arrest!
mg by prompt and vigorous acts, the unhallowed pro
ceedings of those unprincipled incendiaries, now cn
gi'gcd m organizing amongst them, under the publiceve
a system of insurrection, massacre and plunder, intend-’
cd lo be directed against the Southern Slates.
•I. I* f soft at y I fiat a Committee of Vigilance and Cor

/,vw/m/. That it be recommended to the merchants
of the slave-holding States, and of this Town parties
l.irly, to find out and avoid dealing with any merchant
in the Northern cities who moy be reasonably suspected

-MA 1 ICAL SCHOOL.—The next session of my
school will commence on the first Monday in October,
and close on the last of July next. In it will be taught
the Luliu, Greek, French and Spanish languages, all
the branches ol pure .Mathematics. Orography, ancient
and modern, together with the use of the Maps and
Globes, History and Natural Philosophy. As my course
is preparatory for the University of Virginia, the text
books arc those used in that institution. In teachiii-r
the languages I do not adopt the method very frequent
ly used, of making boys learn rules without understand
ing the application of them. But as grammars are made
from languages and not languages by grammars, I en
deavor to make them observe and classify for themselves
the various constructions that occur in the best authors.
Scholars may enter at any period of the session, and
will only be charged from the time of the session they
enter, though none will be taken for a shorter term than
10 months.
Letters addressed to me, near Charles City C. II.,post
paid will meet with prompt attention.
Mr. Jl. M. Nelson has been a student at this Universi
ty tor three successive sessions, during which time his
demeanor was unexceptionable,nnd his application to the
studies required of him, such as to ensure success.
Mr. Nelson graduated in five schools, nnd thereby be
came entitled to the degree of Master of Arts. As this
is tliehighest honor that can be given in the University
o Virginia, the qualifications required to obtain it, are
placed proportionality high, mid are such as demand con
stant assiduity, and considerable talent: the diploma it
seii, will lliiis render any further testimony of Mr.
Nelson s talents superfluous.
Ilis correct conduct, talents, and application, linve
justly won for him the respect and esteem of the officers
of the Institution; all of whom will, I have no doubt,
