We a few days since published, from the pen of a correspondent, accompanying1 it with a few- editorial remarks, an account of the doings of a few infatuated and misguided men, who assembled in secret at the Adel-phi, in this city, with the object of forming an Anti-Slavery Society. We a short time after, the next day, if we remember aright, published without comment the official proceedings of these immediate abolitionists. Moit of our contemporaries did like wise inserted the proceedings without a syllable iof disapprobation. We presume, as in our own case, the proceedings, purporting to be those of a respectable public meeting, and of men professing to be philanthropists, were smuggled into the several journals of the day, before they were perused and sanctioned by the editors. Our attention has been drawn to the subject at this time, by a letter dated in this city and published in the Boston Advocate, the Anti-Masonic journal of the Literary Emporium.

In this letter it is stated that 'the Convention, (that is, the friends of disunion and immediate abolition,) were treated respectfully by the citizens and the press of Philadelphia, with the exception of the Pennsylvania There cannot be a question but that the secret conclave were treated in this city much better than they deserved. They fixed on Philadelphia as a proper place for holding their mock convention, and yet they insulted our citizens by stationing a person at the door to keep them out. Our object, however, in noticing the statement of the letter writer, is to justify our contemporaries. It is evidently the object of the advocate of the convention to make it appear that all the Philadelphia journalists, with the exception of the conductor of this print, are favorable. to the views of the abolitionists, and arc in fact ready to join with Tappan and his adjuncts in their unholy work of immediate emancipation.

Nothing could be more untrue. There is no community in the Union that has a more hearty contempt for the madness of the fanatics alluded to, than that of Philadelphia there is not nn editor in the place who would for a moment lend his columns to their unwise and anti-christian project. All, be it remembered, would readily join in a justifiable, legal, and constitutional effort to relieve their brethren cf the South to eradicate the curse of slavery from the land but all are opposed to the unwise and unconstitutional plan of immediate emancipation, and deprecate, as much as our Southern brethren can, the mad efforts of the few fanatics of the north who continue to agitate the subject. We assure our Southern friends that they have nothing to foar from this quarter with regard to their slave property. We know their peculiar situation, and will, when the moment arrives, and they determine upon some plan themselves, strain every nerve in order to assist and relieve them but we do not desire to net in relation to a matter so delicate, but at their suggestion and this, we assure them, is the sentiment of nine-tenths of the people of the north.

Since writing the above, wc have received a copy of the Declaration of the madmen alluded to. It is of fearful import, and unfolds without disguise their purposes and objects. We submit it at length to the perusal of our readers, in order tint they may better understand the designs of the immediate abolitionists, and join with us in denouncing proceedings that promise, unless checked by the loud voice of public opinion, to sevpr this Union, if not to provoke a bloody conflict between master and slave. Philaddphia Inq. December 20.

TIIK FANATICS. The following is published in the Richmond Enquirer. We 'believe that its account of the Anti-Slavery Convention, recently held in this city, is grossly exaggerated. We are by no means friendly to the mad movements of the abolitionists in question but we at the same time think it un wise to give over-wrought pictures of their proceedings, inasmuch as such pictures not only tlo injustice to the north, but are calculated to excite the south upon a subject noon which that section of our country is particu larly sensitive. 1'ennsytvania Inquirer.

A flfom a gentleman in Philadelphia io ms menu in ims city, speaks ot the proceedings of the National Anti-Slaverv Con vention, (which was held in prvvato, ith a sentinel at the door.) He says, when he went in, "Garrison had the floor, and sookc for about half an hour against the people of ine soum, in me nv'si malignant manner conceivable. After he had addressed the meeting, he begied leave to introduce to the house two Presidents of the Anti-Slaverv Society of the New-England Slates; and fo and behold who should thev be, but two fellows as black as midnight! They made their remarks, and read several letters from this Sambo and that, from different parts of the rated States. One was read bv Gam son frotn a black brother iu Petersburg, who said that the time was fast approaching when liberty should be sounded in Maine and echoed in Georgia.

Mr. Taylor, awakened by the noise, in quired who was there but no answer was returned. Smith next got over the fence, went up the back steps, and knocked violently at Mr. door, who again inquired who was there but received no answer. Mr.

Taylor then called up his servant, who went to the door, when Smith asked for Miss Arm strong, and was told by him to knock below. Smith then asked, 'Where is the parson? Tell ii i in I want and commenced to use threatening, abusive, and the most disgusting language. He then with great force knocked against the blinds, and continued abusing Mr. T. It was some considerable time before either Mrs.

Craddock or her daughter was roused and made sensible of the shameful conduct of this man. Mr. Taylor now found it necessary to speak, and warned him to desist; he, however, became more furious, but soon went away, and in a few minutes, returned with an armed party. Miss Craddock, knowing them, imprudently opened her gate and let them in. Thrirnames are Timothy Flannagan, a store-keeper Winship, with a pistol Johnston, a Custom-house officer, with a sword M'Cook, Hannaford, Magistrates and some others.

Flannagan said, 4 Tar and feather The others recommended that he should bo pulled out of his bed. Mr. Taylor and several of the inmates stood unperceived at the top of the stairs, and heard all that passed, and when Mr. T. found that some of the party appeared resolved to rush up stairs upon him, he made his escape in his night dress out at the back door, leaving his servant to see the end of the disturbance.

He entered one of the out' louses first, but was soon advised to leave it. IIo next took refuge fit the house of on of lis friends, a Miss Cain, and information was soon brought that the party talked of coming to search lor Mr. T. and beat Miss C. He then took refuge in a negro hut, where he continued until the servants brought the pleasing intelligence that the whole party were gone away.

Had Mr. T. shown himself it is proDable he would have been seriously injured, if not murdered, by these unprincipled men. Watchman. From the London Times.

SLAVERY IN MARTINIQUE. Since the revolution of July the slave-trade has entirely ceased in the French colonies previously it as shamefully winked at by the Government, and encouraged by the planters but it has done them little or no srood. and now they are paying a heavy penalty. In consequence ot the high price of susrar, slaves were relatively of high value this be came a great and alluring temptation to fit out 4 which, to escape the pursuit of our ships of war, were always constructed in a manner to eau last, and evade observa tion, than to accommodate the poor victims forming the cargo. The interiors of these vessels, therefore, (mostly schooners,) were ill adapted to preserve the health or comfort of the poor wretches who were crowded in them, and who generally arrived in a state of great exhaustion, misery, and sickness; a new negro would require a year nursing before he became fit for work, and not more than half the number landed would usually survive and become usetul.

Credit was so unlimited, that the planters were in the habit of paying for these by giving their accep tances at two, three, four, and even five years, calculating so many more negroes, would make so many more hogsheads of sugar sale able at the high price these acceptances sooner or later come due, sugars are wofully down in price, money is very scarce, sickness carries off many, poisoning still more, there is perhaps a short crop, (as this year), and the result is general distress. The Africans are dreadfully addicted to the crime of poisoning, and a vast number of men, women, children, and cattle, are destroyed in this way every year. One planter told me he had lost nearly 100 in little more than three years, besides two of his own children. In general the French treat their slaves with great personal kindness and familiarity, much more so than the English, and flogging i not common but the French Creoles are more violent in their prejudices than their neighbors they think it perfectly absurd, quite outre, to teach a slave to road; it is never done the French slaves have scarcely any education, either in letters, morals, or religion, and the planters themselves do not set the best of examples. Missionaries are not admitted the Catholic clergy are generally good men, but indolent, for want of competition were there Moravians, Methodists, and Episcopalians, as in our colonies, it would be otherwise; it is the practice in every estate to have prayers night and morning, but this is chiefly to afford an opportunity to the planters to see and count the gang, and question them about the work of the day.

Many of the managers are the proprietors of their estates it is doubtful to me if this be (as is generally imagined) advantageous to the slave; they are more indolent and less responsible than the mere manager. It is quite true 4 the Frenchman deliberately expatriates himself, the Englishman In Martinique an estate will descend from father to son, and be managed in the same way.

On Tuesday, the 30th a party of white men met at the house of Timothy Flannagan, the keeper of a store and billiard-room at Old Harbor, for what purpose is best known to themselves.

The French creeks are, however, kind, hospitable, and generous any one but a creditor or mortgagee may get money from them. The laws are by no means effective, but the ladies are beautiful. The enmity between the white and colored classes is so violent, that they live in constant apprehension of each other; a white man dare scarcely be seen speaking to a colored one in the streets, much less associate with him.

The colored are numerous, but generally less educated, and less fit for the advancement they aspire at, than the colored in the other islands; they have very little property, and their behaviour towards the whites is alternately marked by obsequiousness and impertinence. They have now the same political rights as the whites. From the Kingston Chronicle. Jl'lt V2. It is with pain we are obliged to advert to the turbulent conduct of the Unionists of St.

Ann's. It is in vain to hope for the restoration of order and tranquillity if they continue such examples of insubordination to the slave population. There happened to be a meeting of the magistrates of St. Ann's, at which the Hon. S.

M. Barrett presided as chairman. Shortly alter they had assembled, in came a Methodist parson tts soon as his presence was discovered hootings commenced. An intemperate Unionist interrupted the whole Court by getting up and making a speech about sectarians, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. The crowd of Unionists rushed on to assault the unoffending and defenceless parson, headed by two Unionists, notorious for their absurd violence the divine, however, got behind Mr.

The Slave Insurrection in Cuba. We have received ndiliviujinl information -rith rcgaitl to this rebellion. It appears that 500 or b'CO slaves had been smuggled in Africa, and landed at a place about XJ0 miles west of Havana.

Some communication took place between them and the slaves on the neighboring plantations, in which the former were given to understand that a grievous mortality was prevailing among the blacks on the island (cholera,) and that it was occasioned by poison administered by the whites. This drove the new comers to desperation, and thinking that they might as well die in one way ns another, they rose upon their keepers and murdered them. On this intelligence being spread, a military captain, with two other persons, proceeded to the landing, in order to do away the impression prevailing among the insurgents, and bring tiicm back to subordination. These men Mere also killed. A troop of cavalr', consisting of about, thirty men, wa3 then sent against the insurgents, who by this time had been joined by some of the slaves on the neighboring plantations, and a battle ensued, in which a number of the blacks were killed, and also two officers and several privates ot tiie troops, i he remainder, finding their force insufficient to suppress the insurrection, retreated.

A larger body was then sent, who poured a terrible fire upon the insurgents, which killed from 400 to 500. The whole loss of the whites is stated at 30 or 40. At the date of the last accounts the rebellion was considered at an end. The negroes, we understand, had no weapons but clubs and stones. Brazilian Slavery.

The horrible system ot slavery which exists in the mining districts ot the Brazils, and which is earned on at present in no small degree by British capital and British influence, appears to have entirely escaped the attention of the Legislature. At a meeting of tiie British Missionary So ciety last week, the Rev. Thomas Roberts stated, that within the period of the years 1820 and lSJ, not less than 204,000 human beings had been brought from Africa, and sold for the cultivation cf the soil and the working of the Brazilian mines. This had been done hy a gross violation of the treaty entered into with the Brazils in 123, that the Brazilian slave trade was to cease in four years from the time of that negotiation. The Rev.

gentleman, after a most heart rending description of the cruelties inflicted on the Brazilian slaves, called on the West India planters to unite in attempting the overthrow of this system of slavery, the existence of which must, he said, be fatal to the prosper ity of the British colonies, now in a state of freedom. He appealed also to the eloquence and moral influence ot the pulpit, and con jured the Anti-Slavery Society to rekindle the expiring embers of its zeal, and not to relax its efforts, whilst it was known that a single British adventurer was employed in the disgraceful, inhuman, and ever-to-be ac cursed trading in human beincs.
