[Proin tin'Albany .\rjfiu.l PUBLIC MEETING OF THE CITIZENS OF AL BANY. [We annex a full report of the remarks of several gentlemen who addressed the anti-abolition meetii.<r of the citizens of Albany, held at the Capitol, on Friday afternoon. The remarks of Messrs. lJixand Van Hens •elaer have been written out by those gentlemen; and those ot Judge Spencer are from a report oft hr Eve. Journal, which although condensed, is accurate as frr us it goes j den. Dir in presenting the resolutions, addressed the meeting aw follows: Fellow-Citizens—Before the question is taken on the resolutions, which Ilia ve just read. I beg leave to say a tew wordsm favor of their adoption. I am well awiire that the subject is one of great importance; ntid I have no intention of entering into it farther than to illustrate by some brief remarks, a few of the positions assumed m the resolutions. When the Constitution of the United States Was form ed, slavery existed in nearly every State in the confede ration. It. was so incorporated with the Roeial brgatma tion of the people, for whose grivernmont that'instru ment was designed, that it was deemed impossible, what ever views may have been entertained by individual members of the convention, to dissever the one from the other. Besides, it was regarded as a matter strictly pertaining to the domestic relations of the rffctfHfe of the i several States, which could not safely be aub.iMeU lo the regulation of the general government; und, ts v.e «ll j know, it is now, and ever lias been, one of the basis of representation iu Congress under the Constitution of the L. t>. G) the moral purity and public virtue of the men who participated in the formation of that instrument it is needless to speak; but they were men of practical\vis dom also, and they had the sagacity to see that in the or ganization ot political systems, founded upon consent regard inu»t necessarily be had, not only to the opinions and wishes, but to the condition also, of those who are to enter into the general compact, and that social d.s- I cases of long standing, having no necessary connexion ' with the action of govi rnment, must be left to ihetn-ext- i nient ot those whom they atllict, as the Hunt capable of applying, at the proper time, the appropriate remedy. It 19 well known that this was one of the most delicate questions involved in the formation of the Constitution. Like every other of the same difficult character, it was disposed of in the general compromise of interests whom were the subject of deliberation and adjustment and it 19 not too murn to say, that the Union could never have been formed if the right of interference with this question, on the part of the generrf! govdrhnient, had been insisted on. / regard it, therefore, as a fundarhpnt.1l condition of wie social existence, that the question of slavery in u j slave-holding Stale, shall not be disturbed by the Go- ' vernuient or people of any other .State; and it is conceded ' that the General Government has no control over it. It is a part of the same great collection of political rights I in the preservation ot which,all are alike inierestedfand it'canuotbe touched, without impairing the tenure by which every other isiseld. J But l go farther; I hold that there is a political ohli^a tion arising out of the compromise of interest*, rr which the foundations of the Union were laid, to abstain from every species of interference which may tend to disuirh tiie domestic quietude, or put in jeopoidy the rMits of I properly, which the Constitution won designed tow-cure I indeed, I think it would not be diliieult to show that this i obligation is of higher origin. On this point l desire to 1*} distinctly understood. [ do not intend to take a posi tion, which, if maintained, would abridge the freedom of discussion or restrain the liberty of the press. But 1 do contend that every principle of political justice, my, every principle of humanity, demands that discussion* shall not be permited in when it is manifest that their inevi tabic consequence is to render insecure the »„,i ! properly of those who, by themselves or their prede cessors, were parties to (he federal compact. It he- in- 1 •deed been said, that nothing is to be feared from disruv- ; •‘»n, when reason is left free to combat error. But | put ft to you to say, fellow-citiwm i, whether this proposition ! Bko every other of a similar character, may not lie subject to exceptions ? la it not, under the peculiar circu.nstan ces of this case, unsafe in practice, so fat as it is carried «n t*y tire circulation of abolition publications in the tiouth ? it it could be crrjrfined to arguments addressed to the master, to convince him of the propriety of libe rating his slaves, it would bo liiirmli’iid f.■./l i.. i._ l useful, Hut, from the necessity of Hie case, it cannot hr 1 m\ rewtriclcd. Tb* arguments, and the representations i w,Ul wb'™ they ere accompanied, find tlu-ir way to the •lare. He becomes discontented with hi* condition is sometime* stimulated to acts of violence, and if he does not succeed in compassing the destruction of others Sails himself a victim to the misdirected dibit put forth in liis behalf, (n communities of freemen, unrestrained discussion is indi pens able ns a safeguard against error and abuse. Hot who does not see, that in dealing with an unenlightened population, placed by the force of cir cumstance* in a peculiar relation to othrra, the effect of discussion may he to nwnUon them to a knowledge of their condition, without enlightening them a* l« the ne cessity which has produced it, and which tins tike,, forever , out ot their control the ability of providing for their own 1 relief consistently With the safety of the general society ■of which they may constitute but an inconsiderable pari’ 1 I am not contending against the abstract right of discus ■ion, nor do 1 concede that any restraint can he imposed on it, no Jong a* it is guided Uy moderation and truth +*o~?X,ng that which arises out of ibe sense of moral obligation and duty. Lut, independently of the mischievous rffi-cf* of (his interference with (he question o( slavery in the Houth ] uisousiiiun ha» not Wen conducted by tlie abolitionists- 1 in a spiri* ol moderation *n-l fairness. Much of the mat ter contained in their publication* is of the most ioflam matory character. Addressed to the master, it is not «r gument it is abuse and insalt. Addressed to t,l0 •lave, it is an incentive to, and in some c»*.-* doubt- I less a justification, in his ow n sight, of insurrection and 1 -Woodshed It can readily h- conceived how these crimes may hardly wear the aspect of guilt to if*V 20t!,,n lU‘d1 "* ,<,u,ia,ir,n of ‘he oppression nnd tyranny imputed to the master by sonic of th« publications re erred to Thu author* of these pub Iications, and nil who shall hereafter contribute by money nooTVh'TM0 gtrC tUTtt,ncy. ‘ he regarded* before r . cnn'0,>"f'"c!H *'* *»«, as Wcmort before the fact, m a moral point of view ,t u.,tt L the evil* and crimes which may grow out of circulation But the matter contained m the aboli lion publication* it often false io point of fae»-„ ’ ’ presents the condition of the slsvr*. and (he ebsrseter of the roaster, by selentiag general iUu*tr*tioi»*, «*es of hardship or cruelty The prevailing tone of the rrpresenutio.* contained in them, with respect to ,(,* n °f *T *,avf‘ *»f*r ns they have fall m tioderrny ob**rv»fms i* deeply imbue* with error 1 believe that in general the wants of the »hvc» arc at » lit» r »«»y provided for, aud their comfort* a* great a* | 1 y v ' ltd be m * state i f freedom. 1 do not touch « nbrtr Mil ptiitrljjfe involved in the question of stl.vve- 1 • y. On thi* point tin* views of the N vtls ate well under- ! vtood llut 1 moan to any , that 1 consider *.mi<* of the i publication* ol the abolitionist* which I have seen, to be a< much at war witli Iruili,as their conduct is with all l*"‘of prudence, justice and humanity. I here is another consideration connected with this siioject. In every community there «re men of infa mous character, whose hopes of profit and power depend , °" t,le oal-ainititfC of other*. Unhappily, there is such a 1 classed whites at the South. In the hands of these men, j l,H> publications of the abolitionists arc converted to the .most |K*rnicious uses. They read them to the slaves, whose mind* are p us >ncd, and whose passions arts of tew stimulated to toe perpetration of the greatest crimes, in order that those who lead them on may find plunder or power amid the geneiai confusion which they art seeking to create. 1* it just,—nay, i* ,t „.,t barbarous, is it not in the .ugliest degree crimimil, to liii nis.'i tile ele ments ol these base intrigues on the one hand aud fatal discontents on tin* other? Let us apply the argument to ourselves. It is but a lew years since slavery was abolished in this State; it is lewer still—it i. but eight years—since the last of our Slaves was restored to freedom. For the abolition of 'l.»\ery here, »e nrc* lb deb ted to circumstances arising outo. oui accidental position, and jiot to « superiority over our Southern brethren in any of the“nttributes of reason or humanity. During iu existence among us, would we have patiently submitted to any interference, winch wouiudluve violated the rights of'property guar ant cd t«» us by the Constitution, ami threatened to kin dle around our fireside* and altars the Haines ol disoord aim eivrl ooniiuotion ? It "eeins to me that there can be lut out* answer to this inquiry, .ire ire nut bound. \ 'uiJ ffry principle of reciprocal justice to put I doicn, o.v for us ire cun by iuteful measures, the spirit \ 'J Janatiiism, ichicn has led In this unjustifiable amt \ do nacrous interference uitA the domestic relations of our dunlin rn brethren, and slump it icith the strong- I est marks of reprobation : Hut 1 need not appeal lu your justice, nor to the disposition which I know j \ ou >uu:it all feel to do to others a* you would have oilier* do to you. The characlt-r and ninubersof this us sfiubiy of citizens, coming together as they have done I without regard to diversity of public sentiment, auJKci- j cntiy indicate that on tins question, so deeply interesting to the South, you liunk and feel rightly. If wc have been divided with regaid to questions of public policy d we are still divided with regard to the men who ad minister the government, or the measures of their ad ministration, we have fore the evidenc e that Hut auine muted feeling whioh animated Hie men of Hie North end .'souHi to pour cut their blood in common on the plums I oi Ueriiitnlown find Camden, at Saratoga and the Cow- | pens, still lives in llrcir deoceiidaut*, and lint it will j unite us all m a common effort, whenever the integrity ol the l ni;m is threatened, or the tranquillity of any sec tion ot it ia menaced, by an invasion of iu constitution al rights. Let us, then, by the adoption of the resolu tions, mandest to our Southern brethren our determiua• Itan to arrest, so fur as ter can by laicfut means, the pro gress ot measures which we consider at war witli their j rights. aud with tiie obligations imposed on us by the Constitution to maintain in practice the spirit in whioh ! it was framed. Judge Spencer followed iu support of the resolutions, lie conceived them, founded in wisdom and truth; and they had, no doubt, found their way, to the understand ‘"if u"d approbation of all present. A ii-arlii! crisis is at hand—a crisis which it becomes all good citizen* by conciliation, by mild, yet resolute effort, to avert. IVr l.ap* no question, involving greater consequences, had iieen agitated since the adoption ol the Constitution, than the one, to discuss which llus assembly had been con vened. All were aware of the commotion which lias been ere- ! uteil by the distribution in the Southern States of tracts issued by self-created societies. Their circulation endan gers tlie very existence ol tins Union. They infuse into me mind ot the slave, an insurrectionary spirit—alarm the master, nnd make him justly apprehensive, that if their circulation is persisted in, the lives of the whites will be sacrificed. We owe it then, to ourselves, and l«» the citizens nt the South, to put them in possession of our opinions on this question. J he resolutions winch hud been presented for the approval of this meeting, Mr. 8. considered to be drawn up in a temperate spirit, and ho hoped all its proceed ings would manifest the same spirit. We came here to eliminate no one. So far as lie was acquainted with the members ot arili-sla very and abolition societies, he be lieved them actuated by good motives; but he believed they were deluded. In their philanthropic efforts in beualt ot the slave, they have overlooked the safely of the master, lhey appear not to see the consequences which must inevitably follow- the dissemination of their doctrines among the slaves. It, said Mr. S., by remonstrance, temperate arguments, nnd conciliatory measures, wo arc not ablu to stay the progress of the movements of the Emancipation and Abolition (Societies, wo have reason to believe that the Union itself will lie severed. Booh a sad event tve would all deprecate. On the stability, the per.itau ucv and endurance of the Union, all depends. As a united people, we are tin.- admiration of the world; but if wc should be split—if the holy ties by which we arc bound together weio sundered, we wouid not only become the bj’-word and the scorn of oilier nations, but we would become a (irey to each other, and in all probability be distiacleil and harrassed by cuulinucd uud almost unin terrupted-wars. To those who insist upon the ir right to discuss the question of slavery, he would say, that they labor under a melancholy infatuation; and are jeopardizing the intu resl and happiness alike of si ive and master. Upon this head lUe resolutions received iiis hearty concurrence. I he Com.liUnion, said Air. S., in various places iecog uizes slavery. It is made ,’>y that instrument one of the bases of representation. Uy it, slave* were allowed to , b.* brought into llie country until the yeui lc?dct. it pro- J vide* further, that if u slave escape into a Stale where sla- ' very is abolished, upoi^his being demanded, he shall be I delivered up. The same instrument has n-served to the ! several States the right to legislate upon their own do mestic concerns, and the question of slavery is one of these domestic questions. Under this Constitution we have become a great uud prosperous nation; and shall tee now turn upon those uno assisted tu fruining if, and say to them, you tolerate a stale of things which we shall reprobate—you shall not bold slaves—it is not ri<r|il? ” batevcr we may think of slavery—and lie did ^not siuiiil in the attitude ol au apologist for slavery—wliat ev«T desire we may individually have to sec it uboltsed we arc u .t called upon to tiUerlcrc. Wc are, in the language of the lesoliitions, bound to act right. AJtny ot the members ol the Abolition Societies con- j aider it their bouuden duty to address slave-holder.!.— Could they confine their efioits to the slave-holders, the j consequence* to be apprehended wouid be comparatively j light and triHing. Hut is this the ease ? Is not every means resorted to, to calclt the eye, atid through it to reach the passions of the slave. Air. S. had beheld with Ins eyes that which astonished him. He had seen picto rial representations ol the most intlammature kind, which have been and continue to be circulated by’the abo litionists—slaves tied to trees, and their masters holding I over them Hie la*li—their tlesh gasin ii with the whip, and afterwards cats thrown ujion them to mere use \ lli'-ir torture. Hut this is not all. Similar pictures have hoe n stumjied upon pocket hand kerchiefs, and in tins form sent into all the slave-holding Skates. For these purposes, a large sum of money—more than the colonizantui society bus been able la raise—not less than Jj|lilO,;)UO bos been raised. From these publication* the most h-nrtul consequences were to be appretiendcd._ They were kindling a fire amid the most combustible mater ini*; and unless speedily extinguished, destruction ! must ensile, ile desired the lueeling to reverse their situation, ami h.r a moment to lake the plncu of the slave holder. What would then be their feelings?

So excited were they, that gen lleinen from the South with whom he had conversed mini ofedocalion, too—had ventured to justify the violent measures uteotly thrre resorted to. iiut oiners who do not nppiove of them, insist that unless the measures ot the abolitionists are abandoned, the slave would not only become miserable but. almost us-Ies* is it not unjust, asked Mr. S,, to arm incendiaries to go in among the slaves, when the consequences !»«■ so ' appalling > An aboliti.rtiJst would say, it is a duty we : owe to God lo do so The Sanord.d not thus disregard 1 the laws of the laud in which he dwelt, lie cheerfully > paid tribute to Osar, and the command of one of his ; fn<>std.lightened apostles is—“servants, obey your mas lff“- * *te men enottgji among us here to reform ! without going into the Southern States.

Southern gentlemen know “ill well that if these publications gain circulation in the community, tlieir own existence and that of tlieir wives “I’ii . . <a cau 0,,l>' ** maintained by the annihilation ot die blacks—[Here Mr. V. It. mentioned some facts ot recent occurrence, which went to show the incendia ry It ndency of these puhlications.l . next reuiurked, that these ultra efforts were ruin t«g the cause oj the slatts. in fact, emancipation, if it can ever occur now in pence, has been retarded alleast halt a century. And no wonder, that the wild scheme or immediately emancipating two millions of slaves, should have the effect of prejudicing Ike masters against the tolerdtion of any intermeddling with the subject !— Our own experience, ns a State, must convince us of the pohey ol extreme ptudeiicc in all measures for abolition, lhe laws ol New York, making incipient provisions for the emancipation of its few slaves in I7D8, and consum mating their aim only in 18S27, demonstrate the necessity ol cautious legislation in communities, more fearfully overrun with the evil than our own. Already have the most serious injuries occurred to tlu* cause of'tiie slaves in consequence of the rash, precipitate and unwarranta ble interference of the abolitionists. It is more than pro bable that measures lor the moral and religious improve ment of the slaves—which were in progress with a good prospect of the most happy results—have been utterly ru ined by tho infatuation ot those who think themselves the black moil s friends. Here Mr. V. It. slated othe*facts to sustain his position, and went on to say that the result of the recent excitement at the South would be the suspen sion of many of the existing plans for African ameliora tion—the withdrawal from the country of most of the Northern clergy, and a public odium upon all planters and ministers who venture to continue their efforts among the slaves. Mr. V. ft. added his testimony to another point, which was the unjust ami ir tolerable aspersions, with which the abolitionists were trying to brand the Southern couniry. Sir, if philanthropy needs slander for her ally* she has greatly,depreciated in these latter times. Where is her he.i ven-boru temper and peaceful charity ? Exchanged, ulus! for a defaming spirit and reckless denunciations! 1 am iio apologist lor the sins and evils which exist in the South, or in any other p.nts of our laud; hut I assert without fear of contradiction that in proportion to its moral and religious opportunities, the South embraces as much high-souled patriotism, generous humanity, warm philanthropy, and heavenly-minded religion as any section of the United States. I, Tor one, have had lou many evidences of the general kindness of the plan ters to their servants, not to feel indignant at the calum nies heaped upon them. Well might tlieir indignation kindle, and ours too, at the indiscriminate invective and bitter Opprobrium, with which the abolitionists have at tempted to stigmatize their whole community .' Let us rejoice that we have an opjiortimiiy this day. of «,ubl c ly expressing the continuance of our good' lee lux** to. wards them, with the assurance that it is done, not for ulterior purposes, but in justice to our own sensibili ties as fellow-citizens, as Christians, and ns men. Oh ! that Some of their own -nirio ....... I...... .. n • . a Barbour, or a t lay—to confront their derlaiiui'm luce to face, and overwhelm with utter confusion, the reek lees caluuinia tors of Southern honor nnd humanity. Let uh, Mr President, pass these resolutions with one loud, unanimous AYB—so that from the walls of the v.npilol the echo may find a deep response in our hearts and the Genius ol New York, residing beneath these arches, inay feel a glow of proud exultation at the pa tnotitfiu and anim itioii of !it»r soda ! Thc Gurxr Mi.r.n.in .it Ai.iunv.—U'e copied yrs ter day from the Albany Argus, an account of th • great meeting recently held in Albany, to give an expression ol public opinion on the subject of the incendiary efforts by the abolitionists. We give to-day the able addresses delivered at that meeting by General Dix, Chief Justice . pencor, and the Rev. C Van Rensselaer. Their argu ment; and illustrations arc strong and convincing, 'f lic meeting at Albany wo*, totally divested of party charac ter. Two of the distinguished speakers, General Dix ami Judge S|>oncer, are, kmnvn to entertain totally opposite political opinions. Rut on a question like this, they have united with their fellow-citizens of all parties, III expressing their strong disapprobation of the course pursued by the abolitionists. The Reverend Cortland \ an Rensselaer, a sou oft he universally respected Gen Van Rensselaer, who has Visited the South m the exer cise ot the duties ol his calling, and who has been enabled Irom close observation to become acquainted vvr.h the feelings, habits, mid opinions of our breth ren cl the ullive-holding States, has spoken eloquent ly and well. We commend his remarks to the mis guided men whose incendiary efforts have well nigh broken up the foundations of our Government. Is not the solitary liict, that even in our own State slavery Ins been abolished only about eight years, and that many years were occupied in bringing about its abolishment, ii convincin'* pruol to the immediate abolitionists that their plans of immediate abolition must be fraught with dan-rer ? 1 he slave population compared with the whiles has always been small with us, and yet we felt that comparatively small os was the number of slaves’ the utmost caution was necessary in yielding them their freedom. Among the advocates for the ‘abolition of slavery in this Stale—nnd they comprised a large majo rity of cm citizens—it was felt nnd acknowledged that abolition must be slow nnd gradual. The voice of wild fanaticism, demanding that the fellers of the slave should be forthwith unbound, and that lie should he ad mitted ul once to all the privileges, political unci social or the white man, was never heard, or if heard, was never listened to. The philanthropy which made „ur slave- free, was governed by wisdom. It sought f>r, nnd ultimately secured the melioration of a degraded’ it nought to prepare them gradually fora change in llieir Hiiuation, and it uccoui)>lUli<>d whut it sought—the extinction of slavery in our Slate. Sup posing for a moment that the little band of Northern abolitionists had u right to interfere with the question of Southern Slavery, is it not clear ttiat their desired sys tem of abolition must necessarily be slow and gradual? Does not the experience of our own Slate prove thai the utmost caution is necessary in bringing about such an event? If with but comparatively a handful of ot slaves, wo wer- compelled to exercise such caution, how much discretion should be exercised in breaking off the letters of the Southern slaves? But prudence "and caution are words not to be found in the vocabulary of the abolitionists. They will learn nothing from the ex periences of even the North in matters connected with slavery. But they have no right to meddle witlT the mat ter in any shape. Their exertions will not and cannot come to good. Should the direful rfleeta of their incendi sry course hnppily be averted,—should the storm which they have raised passed over our heads and those of our Soul hern brrihern harmlessly, and the scenes of bloodshed which may yet be the result of their blind acts never occur — stii 1,1 .s certain that the very fetters which they seek to unbind, Ihpy have closed with tenfold firmness. The rtouthcfn .Rates alone have a right to legislate on this matter. J hey know their interest better than we can leach them; and they cannot, and will not, and ought not to permit any interference on the part of a band of mad men no matter how sincere may be their profession- or how honest llieir zeal.—But enough We again coin rru nd the remarks of the gentlemen who udilressed the Albany meeting to the attention of all. They mU9t meet the approbation of every intelligent man, and none but bigots and fanatics can deny their force nnd truth. _[A* V- Tunc*. A BoNfmr,.—The Richmond Whig states that the in ecndiary publications remaining in the Post Office nt Richmond, \ a., on Saturday last, were taken out and imb hcly burnt in the Main direct. under the superintendence of the lost Office Committee. The Abolitionists arc Wasting tin ir time and their money, a» well as display "/"Vf1 ‘J'U,>0*IC*1 disposition in sending their produc lions to the South.

Nxw Orlkani, August 2G IKXA8.—By a gentleman from the easterly division O.

In I that quarter the chief solicitude ia to repress those excite - ! menu which usually produce the very evils they at tempt to avert. Upon the Brasses, a small but active | party, it appears, lias, from the beginning,contended for i a,roMJf ,a,‘d decided aggressive measure*,_its |»adcrs I some ol whom arc men of influence, have endeavored to ! produce anarchy and revolt, tending only t„ i„:urv I 01 tlu* wUlcra and the destruction of their future pros. fleets. The body ofthe people, however, have remained : impassive to these excitement*, which have generally i *°rt ant* counteracted by the influence and rxer | lions ol the more moderate leaders ofthe party opposed to rash movements. So that, correctly spehking, the whole country is undisturbed and tranquil. Judging troni the information received, wc consider emigration to Texas as safe at the present, as nt ar.y pre ‘ vious period. Any movement of troops upon Texas | (and the late movements, with all the idle rumors to the j contrary, have never been formidable.) we regard usur i gumg no hostile design: hut merely to do that which every government has the right to within her own li mits; t. e. to garrison her territories.—These garrisons : must, necessarily, be dispersed, and inevitably feeble j the government, it is well known, so far from bein'* la’ I visli with lunds lor its troops, has never compensated Iheiii adequately or paid tliedi regularly. Such would be | Uio certain result with respect to any garrison, that may posHil.ly, he established in Texas; ami the undoubted con’ sequence must be that the ill.p lid soldiery in these forlifi I cations will, otter a Very short time, desert the posts they art* leHto garrison, 'lliat lately established nt Nacoi/. uocii.-s furnishes the Lest evidence of tin- truth of these 1 remains. Texas, with its present vigorous and growing popula i 1,1,0 a,,d means, combined with its well know-if natutal advantages, otters iniiiiy inducements to those who are inclined to emigrate thither. We hazard the prophecy j that at no distant day the rich lauds of that country will i come into market at such prices as will starile those who , disparage- their immediate prospective value and mnplv ( remunerate others whose provident discernment leans , them to their purchase. I he title to land claims, and the government grants ! more particularly, if we me rightly informed, are stated | to be us good and valid as uny issued in Mexico since i.ie .audio.* Ot Cortez.
