continue to be President of the Repub-

The following remarks on the accounts
from India, of the late battles between the
BurmahHese and British, are from the New
York Statesman:
While the British Reviewers are heap
ing calumnies upon the United States
for their maltreatment of the aborigi-
mes of this country, the public would
be eratifed, if Mr.. Clifford, or some OF
his coadjutors, would give an article
on the origin and progress OF the bur
mahnese war. For ouselves, we are
ignorant of any aggression on the part
of these Indians of the East, removed
from the collisions of other nations,
which are sufficient to justify an inva-
sion of their country, and the slaughter
of its citizens, in the manner above re-
corded. Fee thousand, it seems, were
killed in one battle, which probably ex-
cceds the whole number OF converts to
Christianity, effected by all the mis-
sions from Great Britain, since her first
attempts to civiiize the Eastern world
The tragic scenes Of Indostan are, APP
narently, about TO be reacted in the
Burhman Empire, and the Burrampoo,,
ter, like the Ganges, to be crimsoned
with innocent blood.

Slarsry--Ths bare name Of slavery,
if not the thing itself, is sufficient to
make the American people, who boast,
with SO much reason, of thsir liberty
anxious TO gel rid Of il. That the CON
dition of that class of our population
which is subject TO it, is not understood
by the people Of the North, is fact -
All their doleful Jeremaids, when Ut .
tered in relation TO the treatment OF our
slaves, are misapplied, and, 10 those
acquainted with the subject, perfectly
ridiculous. Their imaginaiions seem
always 10 associate with the term STARE,
the idea of task. IN asters, and racks, and
chains--in fine, cruelty 10 all its shapes
and forms. But, in relation to Southern
slaves, the facts otherwise. With very
few exceptions, they are well clothed and
well fed, and after they have perform
ed moderate day'slabour, from which
their masters are not exempt are as
tree and unrestraIped IN their actions as
any set of men whatever. Their con-
dition is equally as good as that Of the
poorer class Of whites; and, nine times
out Of ten, we venture TO assert, they
would not make an exchange. We OBJ
serve il stated, too, in alate number of
the London European Magazine, " in
an article contrasting the conditions of
the English labourer * American slave,
that of the latter is decidedly preferred.
What, then, is the mighty evil Of which
our northern phiianthropist' complaint
Why are their sympathies so often and
so powerfully excited on subject which
Immediately affects them not, and which,
by its continuance, though il may adds
mite to human injustice and national
impolicy, adds nothing to the sum Of hu.
man misery If the condition of this.
part OF our population is as good as that
of the poorer class of whites, land il is
as often better as worse, why do they
so officiously intermeddlei IL il mere
name they abhor1 "a rose, by any o.
Their name, would smell as sweet" We
do not wish to be understood as object
ing to the removal Of the cause of COM
plant, nor to be considered as viewing
the subject with indifference. IL there
be one portion OF this Union more than
another interested in wiping from its
