India.
The same No. of the Morning Star.
from which an extract was given under
the head of missions last week, contains;
extracts from the Friend of India,
weekly paper, published at Serampore
near Calcutta.
The number dated, Nov. 1st. has an
account of the 'Anti-Abolnion Riot by
which Pennsylvania Hall was burnt in
May previous This article is copied by
the Friend of India, from the London Pa
trlot From it we extract the following
sentences, that our readars may see how
we look in the sight of Europe and Asia.
"This act of aggression was coolly re-
solved upon and deliberately planned by
the slavery party, in defiance alike of ev-
cry principle of law or justice, and of ev-
cry constituted authority, thereby pro-
claiming the will of the mob TO be SUI
preme and sovereign, above all laws, hu-
man and Divine.
We certainly should not like to live in
country where neither person nor prop
.erty can be considered safe against the
mob.
Such state of things is the natural
and just result of Incorporating slavery
with the institution Of the Republic, and
making a violation of the most sacred
aud indeleasible Of human rights funda-
mental condition of the Federal Union
The Abolitionists, apart from the good
ness OF their cause, are now struggling,
like the puritans of other days, in the
prosecution of their cause, for their own
civil liberty-liberty of speech and liber-
ty of printing. Their cause is not only
that of the negro, but that Of social order
and good government If the Americans
do not awake in time to the PERCEPTION of
this, they will but prepare themselves for
a reign of anarchy, after which Russian
despotism would seem repose."
The closing sentence Of the above quo
tatlon, contains sentimental truth which
may well be rung even from the coast Of
dark India, around the world until our ma
tlon-our own New England awakes to
a sense ofthe abyss of anarchy, violence,
outrage, and blood, and fearful retribution.
