To The Editor OF the Morning Chronicle.
DARRyNANx ABBEY, Sept. l3
Sir-After my departure from London you publish
ed, al the instance of Mr.. Stevenson, the American
Ambassador species of almost one. sided cores
pondence which took place between US. have been
prevented by other more important matters from
sooner making few observations upon tina, publiea-
ton; and now, as you gave 1t circulation, think /
may rely upon your courtesy 10 insert my remarkS
In the first place. there had appeared in the Eg-
amner report OF speech OF NINE at the great
Birmingham meeting on the Isl of August which
contained the following paragraph -
= ! believe their very Ambassador here is a slave
breeder one OF those beings whs Icar up slaves for
the purpose Of traffic. Is II possible that America
would send here man who truffics in blood and
who is disgrace 10 human nature :? 4 hope the
se,ton is RRtyue, but IL is right to speak cut"
la the next place. MIR. Stevenson, on the 9th of Au-
gust wrote 10 me letter containing part OF the above
paragraph; that Is, he onitted the words which
have put in italics and which manfestly show that
the report conld not be accurate these words made
il involve a direct contradiction. And thus, having
ascerianed that the report could be correct, he,
with 'he gravity of dpomatist, put TO me the single
question, viz: whether the report correct or notl
il being thus mpe ssiele that he should get any other
reply to,ha question than that the report was net
correct.
OF course, ! answered HE question accordingly,
namely, that the report not correct but refer
red expressly III my reply 10 another report OF the
upon such reference, call for the accurate version.
Thus far il - quite clear that apology had been
required or made. ! am dnclllst, and should,
therefore If asked have stated what really did say
abiding by II only as far was tree, ana abandon
lng ~ m every particular IN WhJchit might appear that
was mistaken.
But as made Mr.. Stevenson no apology, he de-
termlned on making TO himself, and accordingly
wrote second etter and IN il presumed that Ihdd
riaae Gis0r0l0Ifa ~ ne OFensi1e expressions. Now,
this was either incy diplomacy care not which
BAT il was as z HIHHz a presumption upon his part
as The reality Huu .ye hpen unnecessary upon
mine.
However, as my 81 H.- contain an important
passage respe citing tho horrible traffic which is as
serted Il hope untruly) Mr.. Stevenson partici.
oates IN, will state the paragraph it accu-
lately reported IN the Emancipation Newspaper
do this the rather TO afford Mr.. Stevenson, wha
seems anxioas about offensive tcords, an opportu
nity of disavowng, # he pleases, H.izg most sten
sve in the sight Of man and in the presence OF God.
The real paragraph IS thls:-
1T is asserted that their very ambassador here il
slave breeder one of those beings who rear ard
breed up slaves merely for the purpose Of traffic. is
7 possible that America would send man here who
raffcs in blood, and who, II he dc, would be dis
grace 10 human nature? / hope the assertion is an
true; but II is right 10 speak out"
Such was the real passage in nv speech. | To-
splse duelllnC and mean nothing Of what is called
but do hope that, as MIR. Stevenson
as areaay rushed into print he will give the repor
which have above alluded 10 distinct coRrradic.

It is utterly impossible tha, anything shosld exist
more horrible than the American slave breeding
The history Of II is tins the Americans abolished

Why otherwise was net the horae trade stopped as

To supply the home slave trase, an abomiEatle
most hdeous most criminal and most revolving
practice of breeding negroes exclusively for soic has

There are breeding plantations for produeng

breeders calculate the number Of males the flock of
females, similar calculations are made by the traf-

This il is which stains the character Of the Amer

the most deesasle of human beings; especially
when that slave Breeder IS Republican, boosting Of

My sole object IN my speech al Birmingham, and
my present object 10, to the attention Of Eng.
land and OF Europe to all that is cruel CRIMINAL, and
IN every sense Of the word, Infamous in the system
Of negro slavery in North America. My deliberate
conviction ", that until that system is abolished no
American Shareholder ought to be received on foot

Europe.
